RS PRO 2.85 mm Translucent Yellow PET-G 3D Printer Filament, 500 g 891-9319

RS PRO 891-9319 is a 2.85 mm translucent yellow PET-G 3D Printer Filament specifically designed for fused deposition modeling (FDM) technology used in common desktop 3D printers. Manufactured in Spain, this 500 gram spool offers a high-quality polyethylene terephthalate glycol-modified (PET-G) composition that delivers excellent mechanical strength and thermal resistance.

This filament combines the user-friendliness of PLA with the robustness and durability akin to ABS plastics, producing parts that are strong and impact resistant with minimal warping. The PET-G material is non-biodegradable but fully reclaimable and food safe, making it suitable for applications requiring clarity and toughness.

With printing temperatures ranging from 195°C to 220°C and a recommended heated bed temperature between 35°C and 60°C, users can expect stable extrusion and good adhesion. Printed objects can endure temperatures up to 80°C without deforming, making it appropriate for functional mechanical parts subject to moderate heat loads. The filament’s hydrophobic nature prevents moisture uptake, ensuring consistent print quality.

Key features include low shrinkage and no odours or fumes during printing, excellent bridging ability, and ease of gluing with acetone for post-processing. Storage recommendations emphasize keeping the filament in a cool, dry place (15-25°C) away from UV light to maximize shelf life.

This PET-G filament is ideal for industrial prototyping, manufacturing mechanical components, and other commercial 3D printing applications requiring toughness and versatility. Environmentally conscious buyers will appreciate its reclaimable nature and absence of harmful substances.

This filament is made of high-quality polyethylene terephthalate glycol-modified (PET-G) material. It features a standard diameter of 2.85 mm suitable for most FDM 3D printers. Printing temperatures range from 195°C minimum to 220°C maximum ensuring good mechanical strength.

The translucent yellow filament offers great clarity with excellent bridging capabilities. It is strong, rigid, and impact resistant, combining PLA ease of use with ABS durability. Low shrinkage rate minimizes warping during printing.

Parts printed can withstand temperatures up to 80°C without loss of strength. The filament is food safe and hydrophobic, preventing water absorption. Recommended heated bed temperature range is approximately 35-60°C. Easy to glue with acetone making post-processing simpler.
