Red PETG is a common pick for anything meant to mean stop, hot, or do not touch, and it holds up as a structural material rather than only a decorative one. The glycol-modified formula gives it useful impact strength and a smooth, slightly glossy surface that needs little cleanup. For makers printing replacement knobs, levers and housings for equipment they cannot easily source parts for locally, red is both a practical colour and a durable one. It bridges the gap between a filament that prints easily and one that produces a part strong enough to stay in service.
