Fiberlogy PET-G Matte Black 3D Printing Filament 1.75 mm 0.85 kg

Fiberlogy PET-G Matte Black is a premium 3D printing filament designed to combine the mechanical robustness of PET-G with a sophisticated, non-reflective matte finish. This material is engineered to mask layer lines effectively, resulting in prints that look professional and aesthetically refined. By offering higher durability than standard PLA while maintaining ease of use, it serves as an excellent choice for users who demand both structural integrity and visual appeal in their 3D printed projects.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this filament is its unique matte texture, which provides a high-end look while hiding the typical layer lines associated with FDM 3D printing. It offers superior chemical resistance to acids, salts, and alkaline substances, making it suitable for demanding environments. Furthermore, the material exhibits low shrinkage and minimal stringing, ensuring a smoother printing process. Its high strength-to-weight ratio allows for the creation of functional parts that are both resilient and visually striking.

Suitable for

• Functional prototypes and mechanical components
• Interior design elements and decorative figurines
• Cosplay accessories and costume parts
• Desk organizers, containers, and household gadgets
• Jewelry displays and phone stands

When it may not be suitable

This filament may not be the best choice for applications requiring extreme heat resistance beyond standard PET-G capabilities or for parts that will be subjected to constant, heavy-duty mechanical stress in industrial environments. Additionally, it is not recommended for users who prefer high-gloss surface finishes.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 1.75 mm
• Weight: 0.85 kg
• Nozzle temperature: 250–270°C
• Bed temperature: 90°C
• Printing speed: < 100 mm/s
• Chemical resistance: Acids, salts, and alkaline substances

How to use

To achieve optimal results, ensure the filament is dry before use, ideally at 60°C for 4 hours. Due to its strong adhesion properties, it is highly recommended to use masking tape on the print bed rather than printing directly onto glass or the build plate surface to prevent damage. Adjust your slicer settings to include a higher number of outlines and infill density to maximize structural strength. Maintain a cooling fan speed between 0-25% and ensure your retraction settings are calibrated for your specific extruder type, whether direct or Bowden.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your 3D printer is capable of reaching the required nozzle temperature of 250–270°C.
• Verify that your printer setup allows for the use of masking tape on the build surface.
• Check if your project requires the specific chemical resistance properties offered by PET-G.

Usage recommendations

For the best print quality, always perform a test print to fine-tune the flow rate and retraction settings for your specific machine. Increasing the number of perimeters is recommended to enhance the overall durability of functional parts.
