3D printing filament Spectrum TF-24023 PETG Yellow 1.75 mm 1 kg

Spectrum TF-24023 PETG Yellow 1.75 mm 1 kg is a sorbet-yellow 3D printing filament made from Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol (PETG). Supplied on a single boxed spool, this filament is designed for general-purpose FDM/FFF printing where PETG's combination of tensile strength, chemical resistance and reduced tendency to warp is required. The 1.75 mm diameter ensures wide compatibility with desktop and prosumer 3D printers and the net 1 kg weight provides a practical supply for prototyping and small production runs.

Advantages

PETG offers a balanced set of mechanical and handling properties: better impact resistance and flexibility compared to brittle plastics, good layer adhesion for strong prints, and improved chemical and moisture resistance relative to PLA. The material's lower shrinkage compared with ABS reduces warping and makes it easier to print larger parts without complex enclosures. The yellow colour provides high visibility for functional parts, display models and simple colour coding.

Suitable for

• Functional prototypes and mechanical parts requiring toughness
• Household items, fixtures and brackets
• Models and display pieces where yellow colour is desired
• Outdoor-exposed parts with moderate environmental stress

Key specifications

• Material: Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol (PETG)
• Colour: Sorbet Yellow
• Diameter: 1.75 mm
• Net weight: 1 kg
• Format: Single boxed spool suitable for FDM/FFF printers

How to use

Load the spool onto your printer's filament holder and feed the 1.75 mm filament through the extruder following the printer manufacturer's instructions. Recommended printing temperatures for PETG typically range from 230°C to 250°C; adjust within this range to suit your machine and nozzle size. Use a heated bed set between 70°C and 90°C and consider a build surface or adhesive to improve first-layer adhesion. Print speeds of 30–60 mm/s are common, with slower speeds often improving surface finish and bridging performance.

Usage recommendations

Store the filament in a dry environment or sealed container with desiccant to prevent moisture absorption. If prints show bubbling or stringing, dry the filament before use and fine-tune retraction settings. For best dimensional stability, allow critical parts to cool gradually on the build plate or use controlled cooling settings.
