Raise3D Industrial PET GF Filament Grey 1kg (1.75mm)

Raise3D Industrial PET GF is a glass fiber reinforced composite filament based on PET (polyethylene terephthalate). Well-dispersed glass fibers improve the stiffness, strength, heat resistance and chemical resistance of the PET matrix. After annealing, PET GF stabilizes its heat resistance at about 120 ℃, with tensile modulus and strength above 4.1 GPa and 70 MPa, respectively. Compared to glass fiber reinforced nylon filament, PET GF's high compressive strength, dimensional stability, high creep resistance and low moisture absorption make it the ideal choice for reliable printing of glass fiber composites for strong and cost-effective end-use applications, such as fixtures and functional parts. In addition, PET GF offers a wide range of colors.

Printing Notes

1. Dry PET GF at 70-80 °C for 8-12 hours before printing, as low moisture content is crucial for the quality of the printed part
2. After drying, we recommend storing PET GF filaments in the Raise3D Filament Dry Box during the printing process.
3. When printing PET GF, abrasion of the brass nozzle often occurs. The use of an abrasion resistant nozzle, such as hardened steel or a ruby nozzle, is strongly recommended.
4. After printing, it is recommended to cure the printed model in an oven at 80-100°C for 8-12 hours.
5. For a small model (side length < 50 mm), annealing at 80℃ for 8 hours is recommended; for a medium model (50 mm < side length < 150 mm), annealing at 80℃ for 12 hours is recommended; for a large model, annealing at 100°C for at least 12 hours is recommended.
6. After annealing, dimensional shrinkage of no more than 0.1% is observed in the Z-axis, depending on the filling and layer height, and no significant dimensional shrinkage is observed in the XY-axis.
7. If PET GF is also used as a carrier material, please remove the carrier structure after annealing.
