Product Details
RS PRO Post-Industrial PETG 3D Printer Filament
Introducing the range of Post-Industrial PETG 3D Printer Filaments from RS PRO, one of the most popular and easy-to-use 3D printing filament materials available on the market. PETG filament (polyethylene terephthalate glycol) is the perfect combination of the properties of ABS and PLA, which is recyclable and odourless, making it ideal for use in domestic or closed-off environments with little ventilation. This filament offers greater functionality than ABS in the way that it’s stronger and more flexible, while also ensuring it is easy to print with through low shrinkage and near enough no warping, which in the process eliminates common issues like poor filament output that impact the overall quality of the 3D print. Suitable for use in a wide range of applications, but especially useful in domestic, education, or office environments, thanks to the easy-to-use nature of the post-industrial PETG material.
Features and Benefits:
- The range of RS PRO post-industrial PETG filaments are easy to use, offering reliable performance and good surface quality for final prints, making it the ultimate 3D printing filament for no-hassle printing applications
- The filament ensures almost no warping and low shrinkage across all prints, which means common problems like poor filament output that could affect the overall printed quality of the final product, are eliminated, ensuring the creation of high quality and high-resolution printed parts
- Post-industrial PETG 3D printing material is one of the lower-cost printing filaments making it cost-effective, and additionally, it’s also environmentally friendly and more sustainable due to the fact that it’s a post-industrial recycled grade material
- It’s a great alternative to ABS plastic with the same high strength properties, is non-toxic and offers minimal deformation, making it ideal for beginners or for use in domestic, education and office environments
Technical Features:
- Filament Diameter: 1.75 mm or 2.85 mm
- Compatible with most dual printing desktop FDM or FFF technology 3D printers
- All 3D printing materials are supplied in a 500 g or 1 kg package
- Printing temperature: +240°C±10°C
- Available in a range of colours
Applications:
3D printing materials or filaments are very versatile products that can create an infinite possibility of outcomes and final prints. There are various materials and colours on the market that can be used depending on the preferred end product in mind, and thanks to this innovative and creative 3D printing technology, 3D printers have enabled an exciting stream of high-resolution 3D prints that can create architectural visualisation models, household tools, functional prototypes and so much more. 3D printing and 3D printing filaments are most commonly used in applications like:
- General printing and Hobbyist
- Medical and Education
- Prototyping and Jewellery
- Architecture models and Engineering
- Aviation and Automotive
Note:
- It is important to ensure that the filament is stored correctly to maintain its quality. Over prolonged periods of time, the plastic absorbs moisture from the air which in turn creates small water bubbles in the filament. When heated in the extruder nozzle, these bubbles quickly reach boiling point and impact the fluidity of the filament which then impacts the overall printing result. The use of desiccant dehumidifiers to absorb moisture is highly recommended.
- Keep material sealed until ready for use
- To maintain the product quality, we recommend removing the filament from your printer if not used for more than a few hours and store unused material in the provided resealable bag in a cool dark place
- Store in a cool and dry place (15 ˚C -25 ˚C) and away from UV light, enhances the shelf life significantly
