FIBERLOGY PCTG Sample Size, 20-40gm - The Alternative to PET-G , 1.75mm
Key Features at a glance: Excellent impact strength (up to 20X times greater than standard PET-G) Excellent chemical resistance (see TDS for more details) High visual transparency making it a great choice for decorative items where high durability is desired Easy to print with dimensional stability, and low shrinkage making this material great for beginners as well as more advanced printers Suitable for contact with food*, and BPA free Sample Size: Samples are a great option for trying out a new material, color or when comparing different testing parameters of similar options. Samples vary in weight as different materials have different densities and generally range from 20-40 grams. THE ALTERNATIVE TO PET-G PCTG belongs to the same family of polyesters as the increasingly popular PET-G. Compared to its more popular counterpart, PCTG offers increased impact strength, temperature resistance and clarity, making it an excellent alternative to PET-G. This filament does not require a heated chamber, which makes it ideal for use with home printers. It ensures high dimensional stability, while low shrinkage prevents the model from cracking. This makes it an easy-to-print material, even for people without a lot of experience in 3D printing. PCTG is characterized by a much higher impact strength compared to similar materials (e.g. PET-G). It achieves results in the region of 90 KJ/m2 (PET-G: 5-8 KJ/m2) in the Izod test (notched sample). PCTG also withstands higher temperatures (up to 76°C). Fiberlogy PCTG is recyclable and approved for contact with food *. This material is also BPA free. * applies to the Pure TR version Printing Ideas and Applications: INDUSTRY: spare parts, short series, utility models AUTOMOTIVE: elements in the engine compartment, housing of vehicle components, air intakes, fluid funnels SPORT: accessories, pads, airsoft elements How to Print: Nozzle Temperature 250-270°C Bed Temperature 90-110°C Closed chamber not required Fan 25-50% Flowrate 90-100% Printing Speed < 100 mm/s Surface masking tape, PVA glue, hairspray Retraction (direct) 1-2 mm Retraction (bowden) 4-6 mm Retraction Speed 20-45 mm/s Drying conditions 60°C / 4h Notes Due to the strong adhesion to the bed, it is not recommended to print directly on its surface or on glass. This can lead to damage. We recommend using a masking tape. You can find more detailed recommended print settings for all Fiberlogy Filaments in this article.
