PETG filament

3DTrcek PET-G Filament

Popular among thousands of creators for its reliable quality. Made in Slovenia, with over 10 years of experience in 3D filament manufacturing and 45 years in plastic processing. PET-G is durable, easy to print, heat-resistant, and UV stable.

Variety of Colours:

Available in over 30 different colors and surface finishes:

Basic: Colors as you know them (red, yellow, blue, green, etc.)
Transparent: For enhanced transparency of models (natural, yellow, green, blue)
Neon: Bright, vivid colors (orange, green)

Easy Printing:

3DTrcek PET-G filament boasts ease of printing comparable to PLA while providing better dynamic properties of printed parts. Unlike other more technical materials, it does not require an enclosed chamber for printing.

Quality Guarantee:

Precise mechanical winding and thorough inspection ensure that the filaments do not tangle. Each spool is vacuum-packed with a desiccant within 5 minutes of production, ensuring long-lasting quality. The filament contains no recycled material, ensuring a stable diameter of 1.75mm +/- 0.03 mm and minimal ovality.

Compatibility:

With over 10 years of experience in developing 3D filaments, 3DTrcek produces only the best PET-G filaments, ensuring exceptional results on all popular FDM printers such as Bambu Lab, Creality, Prusa, Anycubic, Elegoo, etc.

Chemical, Mechanical, and Thermal Properties:

PET-G boasts high chemical resistance to dilute aqueous solutions of acids, bases, salts, and soaps, as well as to aliphatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, and various oils. Due to its UV stability, higher softening temperature and water resistance, PET-G, unlike PLA, is suitable for outdoor use. It is also characterized by high toughness, making it suitable for mechanical elements and functional prototypes that must withstand mechanical loads.

Post-processing:

Due to its chemical resistance, PET-G is more suitable for abrasive post-processing methods such as sanding. We recommend exposing the treated area to a high-temperature, non-contact heat source to restore back to a glossy surface.

Applications:

PET-G's mechanical properties make it useful for printing a wide range of products. From tools such as vises, pliers, toys, outdoor equipment like flower pots, to water bottles.

Storage:

Store 3DTrcek PET-G filament in a dry, dark place in an airtight bag with a desiccant at temperatures between 0°C and 40°C. PET-G does not absorb much moisture but is very sensitive to it, so dry it in a filament dryer or oven at 60°C for 4 to 6 hours before use.

Packaging:

Available in 50g, 400g, 1kg, 2.4kg, 5kg, and 10kg spools. Contact us at [email protected] for orders of the larger spools in specific colors.

Printing Recommendations:

PET-G does not require special equipment for 3D printing, allowing the use of standard nozzles, and is not sensitive to extruder type. As it hardly warps during printing, it can be printed on non-enclosed printers.

*Settings for Bambulab P1S equipped with a 0.4mm nozzle and textured PEI base plate.

** Recommended settings serve as a starting point for optimal print configuration. Although they usually work for most printers, we recommend experimenting outside these parameters based on the specific properties of your printer.

FAQ:

Are 3DTrcek filaments compatible with the Bambu Lab AMS system?

Yes, the filaments are compatible with all popular FDM printers and the Bambu Lab AMS system.

Is PET-G filament food safe?

Pure PET-G is chemically safe, but the 3D printing process is not. Bacteria can also accumulate in the gaps between the layers in 3D prints.

Do you take back failed prints and recycle them?

We currently do not have the technology for recycling, but we are working to make this possible in the near future.
