ROSA3D PET-G Filament Pearl Gold 1.75mm 1kg Refill

ROSA3D PET-G Filament in Pearl Gold is a high-quality thermoplastic material designed for FDM 3D printing. This refill format provides 1kg of material without a spool, making it an environmentally conscious choice for users who already possess a reusable spool system. The material combines the ease of printing associated with PLA with the mechanical strength and chemical resistance of PET-G, resulting in durable prints with a sophisticated pearl gold aesthetic.

Advantages

This filament is highly valued for its ease of use, offering excellent bed adhesion and minimal shrinkage during the printing process. It is an odorless material, which improves the comfort of the printing environment. The finished prints exhibit high chemical resistance and structural integrity, allowing them to be post-processed through techniques such as sanding, drilling, sawing, grinding, and painting. Furthermore, the raw material is composed of ingredients approved for food contact, providing versatility for various specialized applications.

Suitable for

• Functional prototyping
• Mechanical components
• Decorative items with a professional pearl finish
• Large-format 3D printing
• Lampshades and custom enclosures

When it may not be suitable

This filament may not be the optimal choice for applications requiring extreme heat resistance, as the heat distortion temperature is 78°C. It is also less suitable for projects that demand high flexibility, as the material is relatively rigid with a tensile elongation of 6%.

Key specifications

• Color: Pearl Gold
• Diameter: 1.75 mm
• Weight: 1000 g
• Density: 1.29 g/cm3
• Heat distortion temperature: 78°C
• Diameter tolerance: +/- 0.05 mm
• Oval tolerance: +/- 0.02 mm
• Tensile strength: 20 MPa

How to use

To begin printing, ensure your 3D printer is compatible with 1.75mm diameter filament. Since this is a refill spool-less format, you will need to load the filament onto a reusable spool before use. Set your extruder temperature between 220-250°C and the print bed temperature between 60-80°C. Adjust the cooling fan settings between 0-60% depending on the complexity of your model. If you encounter issues with bed adhesion, consider using a specialized adhesive on the print surface.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure you have a compatible reusable spool for the refill format.
• Verify that your printer supports the required temperature range.
• Consider the heat resistance limits for your specific end-use application.
• Note that food contact certification applies to the raw material, not the final printed object.

Usage recommendations

For the best results, store the filament in a dry, cool place to prevent moisture absorption. If the material has been exposed to humidity, consider drying it before use to maintain print quality and surface finish.
