3D printer filament eSun EPETG-CF-P175AB1 1.75 mm Antique Brass 1 kg

The eSun EPETG-CF-P175AB1 is a high-performance 1.75 mm 3D printer filament designed for users who require both structural integrity and a unique aesthetic. This material combines the reliable printing characteristics of PETG with the added reinforcement of carbon fiber. The result is a filament that provides superior stiffness, improved heat resistance, and excellent dimensional stability, all finished in a sophisticated Antique Brass color.

Advantages

By incorporating carbon fiber into the PETG matrix, this filament significantly enhances the mechanical properties of printed objects. It offers higher rigidity and reduced warping compared to standard PETG, making it an ideal choice for parts that need to maintain their shape under stress. The Antique Brass finish provides a distinct, professional metallic appearance, allowing for functional parts that are also visually appealing without the need for post-processing or painting.

Suitable for

• Functional mechanical components
• Prototyping industrial parts
• Decorative items requiring a metallic aesthetic
• Models requiring high dimensional accuracy

When it may not be suitable

This filament is not recommended for beginners who are not familiar with printing abrasive materials, as the carbon fiber content can cause increased wear on standard brass nozzles. It is also not suitable for applications requiring high flexibility, as the carbon fiber reinforcement makes the final print quite rigid and brittle compared to standard, unmodified PETG.

Key specifications

• Material: PETG reinforced with carbon fiber
• Diameter: 1.75 mm
• Weight: 1 kg
• Color: Antique Brass
• Enhanced stiffness and dimensional stability

How to use

To achieve the best results, ensure your 3D printer is equipped with a hardened steel nozzle to prevent premature wear caused by the carbon fiber particles. Load the spool onto your printer and adjust your slicer settings to accommodate the specific temperature requirements of carbon-fiber-filled PETG. It is recommended to perform a temperature tower test to find the optimal extrusion temperature for your specific machine. Ensure the build plate is clean and properly leveled to facilitate good adhesion.

What to consider before purchase

• Requirement for a hardened steel nozzle
• Compatibility with your printer's extrusion system
• Need for a heated print bed
• The rigid nature of the final printed parts

Usage recommendations

For optimal print quality, store the filament in a dry environment or a dry box to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect the surface finish and mechanical strength of the prints.
