Product description: Fiberlogy Refill PCTG 1,75mm 0,75kg Filament - White
Filament from Fiberlogy to be placed on the MASTERSPOOL reusable spool. PCTG material belongs to the same family as PETG, however it offers increased impact strength (about 90 kJ/m2), temperature resistance and clarity. It does not require a heated chamber, which allows it to be used in home printers. It offers high dimensional stability and low shrinkage prevents model cracking. This makes it an easy material to use even for people without much 3D printing experience. PCTG also withstands higher temperatures (up to 76°C) and is recyclable. The diameter of the filament is 1.75 mm. Product in white color, sold without spool. Net weight of the filament is 0,75 kg.
In our offer of filaments you will also find other materials and colors.
Properties of PCTG filament
- High impact strength (up to 20 times higher than PETG)
- High chemical resistance
- Suitable for contact with food - no BPA(only Pure Transparent version)
Refill Films serve ecology
Replacement of single-use spools, on which the filament is factory placed with MASTERSPOOL reusable spools, is a procedure aimed at reducing the amount of plastic elements, which we can not use again. We can create reusable spools on our printer ourselves. In order to do so, the most convenient way is to use a ready project suggested by the producer.
Suggested parameters for printing with felt
| Printing temperature | From 250°C to 270°C |

3D printing with PCTG filament is widely used in industry. It is used to produce spare parts and more or less complicated functional models. Its properties make it also used in the automotive industry for printing accessories, housings, air intakes and fluid fills. Another industry is sports. PCTG material is useful for producing strong and lightweight pads. It can also be used for prototyping.
PCTG filaments are used for 3D printing in FFF/FDM technology. The typical density of the described heat shrinkable material is 1.23 g/cm³. The filament was produced by a reputable company Fiberlogy.
Fiberlogy PCTG 1,75 mm - additional information
On the basis of DCS measurement it was established that glass transition temperature of PCTG filament is 88°C. As far as the maximum elongation at break according to ISO 527 test is concerned, it is at the level of 220%. The material is distinguished by the high light transmittance of the PCTG shrinkable material, which is as high as 90%.
Another feature of the described filament is very high adhesion. Due to this fact, it is recommended to print on masking tape. It is also worth mentioning other advantages, which are high resistance to tearing, stretching and bending.
