RS PRO 1.75 mm Black PET-G 3D Printer Filament, 500 g 891-9309

RS PRO 891-9309 3D Printer Filament is a high-quality black PET-G filament with a 1.75 mm diameter and a net weight of 500 grams. Manufactured from Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol-Modified, this filament offers a robust solution suitable for common desktop fused deposition modelling (FDM) 3D printers.

The PET-G material combines the ease of use characteristic of PLA filaments with superior strength and durability akin to ABS filaments, making it an excellent choice for producing mechanical parts which are subject to impact and moderate heat. The filament's high melting temperature and good thermal resistance allow the printed components to endure temperatures up to 80°C without distortion or loss of strength.

This filament produces no odors or harmful fumes, ensuring a safe printing environment. It also minimizes warping and exhibits a low shrinkage rate, resulting in precise and reliable prints. PET-G is hydrophobic and food safe, which extends its application to parts where moisture resistance is necessary.

For optimal printing performance, maintain the printing temperature in the range of 195°C to 220°C and utilize a heated bed set between 35°C and 60°C. The filament supports excellent bridging and is easy to post-process with acetone for bonding.

Application-wise, it is ideal for producing high impact mechanical parts, prototypes, and functional components where toughness and flexibility are required. It is compatible with all common desktop FDM/FFF 3D printers.

Storage recommendations include keeping the filament in a cool, dry environment away from UV light, ideally between 15°C and 25°C, to preserve filament integrity and prolong shelf life. Always store the filament in its resealable packaging after use to prevent moisture absorption and clogging during future prints.

The filament consists of Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol-Modified (PET-G) material known for durability and ease of use. Designed for fused deposition modelling (FDM) technology printers, it requires printing temperatures between 195 and 220°C.

Produces minimal warping and no unpleasant odors or fumes during printing. It exhibits high rigidity combined with good flexibility and toughness, suitable for mechanical parts. Recommended heated bed temperature is approximately 35-60°C to ensure optimal adhesion.

Parts produced withstand temperatures up to 80°C without strength loss. The filament is hydrophobic, food safe, and has a low shrinkage rate to maintain dimensional accuracy. Easy to glue with acetone, enabling post-processing bonding.

Store in a cool, dry place between 15-25°C away from UV light to preserve quality.
