Yellow is the colour you print when losing the part is the real risk. Small clips, spacers, handles and adapters disappear into a cluttered bench in black but stay findable in yellow, and PETG gives them enough toughness to survive being dropped repeatedly. It is also a strong choice for indoor signage and labelled bins where contrast matters more than subtlety. The surface comes off the plate smooth and lightly glossy, so a part looks intentional rather than improvised. Practical, visible and hard-wearing, without the brittleness that makes similar parts fail in PLA.
