PETG Spectrum Carbon 1.75mm 0.5kg

PETG Carbon is a black through-dyed material based on polyethylene terephthalate. It is an easy to print material filled with carbon fibre. It presents no retraction issues and does not require a heating chamber. It demonstrates a perfect surface finish directly from the printer, thus reducing the need for further treatments. It may undergo additional treatment to improve its mechanical properties.

It is compatible with support materials such as HIPS. PETG Carbon can be used to print very strong and rigid items. It features a low impact of moisture and temperature on dimensions. In addition, parts made of this material may undergo annealing to obtain better mechanical properties.

Key features

low processing (linear) shrinkage of 0.1%
a relatively high resistance to thermal ageing
high temperature and abrasion resistance
high mechanical strength
chemical resistance to lubricants and oils
very robust lamination of layers
good tribological properties, including dry friction conditions such as in slide bearings
a very wide temperature range for prolonged operation as well as a very high temperature up to 125°C for short-time operation
a very high temperature up to 160°C for short-time operation

Applications

automotive industry
office machines
precision apparatus
tooling
end-use parts
engineering
functional prototyping

Packaging

Filament wound on a transparent PC spool. The spool contains information about the type of material, diameter and recommended printing temperature. Each reel is packed in aluminium vacuum bag with ZIP lock with a silica gel inside.

Due to the high carbon fiber content, it is recommended to use nozzles with a diameter exceeding 0.4 mm.
The presence of carbon fiber can also cause wear of the brass nozzle, so it is recommended to use stainless steel nozzles for long-term use of PET CF15 filament.

Printing temperatur
230-255°C

Heated bed temperatur
Due to the low warp effect is not absolutely necessary. Recommended about 60 - 80 ° C

Warp effekt
low

Reel size
diameter: 200mm
reel hight: 53mm
Hub hole diameter: 53mm

Storage
Cool and dry (15-25°C) and away from UV light. This enhances the shelf life significantly.

Each desktop 3D printer has its own unique characteristics, you might need to tweak around with your temperature settings a bit to obtain the best results. To obtain optimal results for your prints you need to take into account variables like your 3D printer’s nozzle diameter, your printing speed settings, and layer height.
