Gembird PET-G green 1 kg

Gembird PET-G Filament 1.75 mm

The PETG filament by Gembird is an affordable and reliable material for 3D printing. This versatile filament combines good mechanical properties with relatively easy printing, making it a suitable choice for a wide range of applications from functional prototypes to decorative objects.

Main Advantages of the Material:

Mechanical Properties:

• Higher strength and toughness than PLA.
• Good layer adhesion ensuring strong and durable prints.
• Low shrinkage during printing allows larger objects to be printed.

Practical Applications:

• Suitable for functional prototypes and mechanical parts.
• Can be used outdoors due to UV resistance.
• Ideal for making holders, grips, and other technical parts.

Processing:

• Minimal odor during printing.
• Good adhesion to the PEI-coated print bed.
• No heated chamber required.

Recommended Print Settings:

Print Temperatures:

• Nozzle temperature: 230–250 °C
• Bed temperature: 70–90 °C

Print Parameters:

• Print speed: 30–60 mm/s
• Layer height: 0.1–0.3 mm
• Cooling: 30–50%
• Retraction: 1–2 mm

Technical Specifications:

Physical Properties:

• Filament diameter: 1.75 ±0.05 mm
• Spool weight: 1 kg
• Material density: 1.27 g/cm³
• Glass transition temperature: 80 °C

Mechanical Properties:

• Tensile strength: 50 MPa
• Elongation at break: >120%
• Temperature resistance: up to 70 °C

Storage and Maintenance:

• Store in dry conditions at room temperature.
• PETG filament is sensitive to moisture, so it is important to store it in dry conditions and protect it from direct sunlight. It is recommended to keep it in a resealable bag with silica gel balls or use a filament dryer like PolyDryer, which offers effective drying and moisture protection. If the filament becomes damp, dry it at 65 °C for 4–6 hours.

Practical Recommendations:

• When printing large objects, it is advisable to reduce the print speed.
• For optimal results, use the printer in a draught-free environment.
• Before starting the print, clean the print bed with Isopropyl alcohol or Alphaprint cleaner.

PETG filament Gembird represents an economical choice for users looking for a versatile material with good mechanical properties and easy processing. It is particularly suitable for technical applications and functional prototypes.
