PETG Carbon Spectrum 500g

Filament Spectum PET-G Carbon

Improved hardness and rigidity

Spectrum PET-G Carbon is a modified, PET-G-based filament blended with carbon fibers which contributes to a considerably higher rigidity, hardness and tensile resistance, while retaining low shrinkage and very good adhesion to build platforms typical for the pure PET-G. The 10% addition of carbon fibres enables to obtain matte surfaces of printed items, which greatly improves the aesthetic properties of printed items.

Tip: Due to the essential content of shredded carbon fire, it is recommended to use nozzles with diameters exceeding the standard value of 0.4mm. The presence of carbon fibre may also cause the wear of brass nozzle, thus it is recommended to use stainless steel nozzles for prolonged application of Spectrum PET-G Carbon.
