PET
The Roffelsen 3D PET filament is developed for beginner to intermediate users of 3D printing. PET stands for Poly-Ethylene Terephthalate and is an amorphous material made from premium PET – it is the next best alternative to PLA if you aim to get a bit more out of your 3D printed part.
Like our PLA, PET is an easy-to-print material for odourless printing which also brings the benefits of a higher temperature resistance. You can take advantage of the larger processing window (temperature and speed) while printing at similar temperatures like PLA.
Apart from more functional and mechanical 3D printed parts, PET can also be recommended for visual or decorative prints due to its nice glossy finish and very good surface quality. With the very good colour coverage and batch-to-batch colour consistency, you will be able to print nice aesthetic parts with high resolution.
In a nutshell:
- Easy to print
- Odourless
- Very good colour coverage
- Batch-to-batch colour consistency
- Glossy finish
Available Filament Sizes and Packaging
Our filaments are available in both 1.75 mm and 2.85 mm diameters, compatible with a wide range of 3D printers.
We offer the following spool sizes:
- 1 kg
- 2.5 kg
- 5 kg
- 8 kg
In addition, we provide 1 kg refill spools, which are fully compatible with Bambu Lab printers.
Printing conditions
Processing Method: FFF (Fused Filament Fabrication)
Drying: Dry at up to 60°C for up to 8 hours before printing. Use a dry-box / controlled environment during printing (e.g. relative humidity 20% or lower). Store in a sealed bag. Pre-drying of the filament reduces stringing.
Dry box: Recommended.
Adhesion: Use glue for glass bed and cool down for better part removal from. Nozzle Temperature (°C): 245 ± 15. Use nozzle temperature 230 °C for less stringing. Speed (mm/s): up to 180
Bed temperature (°C): 85 ± 10
Bed type: satin coated sheet, glass.
Retraction speed (mm/s): 45
Retraction length (mm): direct drive 1,2-1,4; Bowden drive (12-16)
Active cooling (%): 30 – 70g sounds while printing.
