Fiberlogy PET-G + PTFE Black 0,75 kg

Filament PET-G + PTFE 1.75 mm 0.75 kg

Fiberlogy PET-G + PTFE is a specially designed filament that combines the mechanical strength and chemical resistance of PET-G with the advantages of low friction thanks to added PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene, also known as Teflon). This material is ideal for applications requiring reduced friction, high wear resistance and stability at temperatures up to 70 °C. Thanks to its easy printability and excellent layer adhesion, it is suitable for standard printers without the need for an enclosed chamber.

Key Features

Low Friction and Wear Resistance

• Contains 10% PTFE, which significantly reduces friction compared to standard PET-G.
• Ideal for moving parts such as bearings or sliding mechanisms.

Thermal and Chemical Resistance

• Thermal resistance up to 70 °C (short-term). Lower temperature is recommended for long-term load.
• High chemical resistance to oils, greases and other substances.

Easy Printability

• Does not require an enclosed chamber.
• Excellent layer adhesion ensures solid and precise prints.

Recommended Print Parameters

• Nozzle temperature: 220–240 °C
• Bed temperature: 90 °C
• Enclosed chamber: Not required
• Fan: 0–25%
• Print speed: < 100 mm/s
• Build plate surface: Masking tape or other protective surface
• Filament drying: 60 °C for 4 hours

Note: Due to strong adhesion to the build plate, using masking tape or other protective surface is recommended.

Technical Specifications

• Filament diameter: 1.75 mm
• Diameter tolerance: ±0.02 mm
• Ovality tolerance: +0.01 mm
• Spool weight: 0.75 kg

Comparison with Standard PET-G

PET-G + PTFE offers several key advantages over standard PET-G:

1. Lower friction: Thanks to PTFE content, this filament is ideal for moving parts and components exposed to wear.
2. Chemical resistance: Better resistance to oils and greases.
3. Easy printability: Maintains the printing simplicity typical for PET-G.

Applications

PET-G + PTFE is an ideal choice for a wide range of technical applications:

• Moving parts: Bearings, sliding mechanisms or low-load gears.
• Technical components: Functional parts exposed to mechanical wear or chemicals.
• Industrial applications: Components requiring a combination of strength, chemical resistance and low friction.

Potential Issues Warning

1. Bed adhesion: Due to high adhesion, it may be difficult to remove the model from the build plate. Using a protective surface such as masking tape is recommended.
2. Stringing: This material may be more prone to stringing. It is recommended to optimise retraction settings and nozzle temperature (gradual reduction in 5 °C steps).

Usage Recommendations

1. If you plan to print larger models or moving parts, perform test prints to verify dimensional accuracy and functionality.
2. Make sure to properly dry the filament before printing to ensure optimal print quality.
3. For long-term use at higher temperatures, consider alternative materials with higher thermal resistance.
