Fiberlogy PCTG is an excellent alternative for people looking for a filament with PET-G properties, but with increased impact strength.
Belonging to the same family of polyesters as PET-G, PCTG is characterized by similar strength and ease of printing as its more popular counterpart,
however, thanks to its higher impact resistance, it can be successfully used where ordinary PET-G could not do.
A typical feature of PCTG is its high transparency in the transparent version and resistance to temperatures up to 76°C.
This filament in the Pure TR version can be used for the production of products approved for contact with food.
Parameters:
- High Chemical Resistance.
- BPA Free.
- Easy to Print: Dimensional stability and low shrinkage.
- High Impact Strength: Up to 20 Times greater then PET-G.
- Printing temperature: 250°C - 270°C
- Bed temperature: 90-110°C
- Diameter tolerance: +/- 0.02 mm
- Oval tolerance: +0.01 mm
- Net weight: 75 kg.

How to print?
The following parameters are only suggested print settings for this material. To ensure the best print quality,
it is necessary to choose the appropriate settings for a specific printer and printing conditions.
Nozzle Temperature | 250-270°C |
Bed Temperature | 90-110°C |
Closed Chamber | not required |
Fan | 25-50% |
Flow Rate | 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 / 4hrs |
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. |
