3DPower Basic PET-G black 3kg

3DPower Basic PETG

The 3DPower PETG filament in 3kg packaging is designed for users seeking a material with an excellent price-to-quality ratio. Thanks to its combination of easy printing and mechanical durability, it is suitable for a wide range of applications – from functional parts to aesthetic models. This material is popular among both hobby printers and professionals due to its reliability and versatility.

3DPower PETG is environmentally friendly, made from recyclable materials and approved for food contact. Prints made with this filament feature a glossy surface that can be further modified through sanding or polishing to achieve various aesthetic effects.

Main Advantages

• Durability and Flexibility: High impact resistance and elasticity, suitable for functional parts.
• Easy to Use: Low shrinkage allows printing without an enclosure, though some shrinkage should be expected.
• Universal Application: From prototypes to final products, including decorative models.
• Environmental Properties: The material is recyclable and food-safe.
• Surface Finishing Options: Besides the glossy surface, prints can be sanded or polished.

Important Material Information

• Moisture: PETG is a hygroscopic material, meaning it absorbs moisture from the surrounding environment. To maintain print quality, it is important to store the filament in a dry place or in a sealed container with a desiccant. If the filament becomes moist, it is recommended to dry it before use using a specialised filament dryer that ensures optimal conditions for moisture removal and improved print quality.
• Shrinkage: Although PETG has low shrinkage compared to other materials, some shrinkage during printing may occur, especially with larger models or incorrect printer settings.

Why Choose This Filament?

This larger package is suitable for extensive projects or industrial production where a larger amount of filament is needed without frequent spool changes. It enables more efficient work and reduces printing costs due to fewer downtimes.

3DPower PETG filament offers reliable results and wide application possibilities. It is an ideal choice for both hobby printers and professionals seeking quality material for functional and aesthetic prints.
