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.
