PET filament MonoFilament 1 kg 1.75 mm Natural
PET MonoFilament is an engineering thermoplastic for FDM 3D printing, designed for manufacturing strong, impact-resistant, and wear-resistant parts. The material withstands tensile and bending loads well, offers high chemical resistance, and retains its performance properties across a wide temperature range. It is suitable for printing functional components exposed to mechanical loads and contact with various chemicals.
Advantages and Key Features
- High mechanical strength: the material withstands significant loads and repeated deformations.
- Impact and wear resistance: finished products are resistant to impacts, abrasion, and mechanical stress.
- Chemical resistance: PET withstands contact with acids, alkalis, salts, alcohols, mineral oils, gasoline, and greases.
- Plasticity: retains its ability to deform in both cold and heated conditions.
- Creep resistance: effectively resists gradual deformation under prolonged loads.
- Good friction and sliding properties: suitable for manufacturing parts that interact with other surfaces.
- Post-processing options: printed products can be polished and coated with varnish.
- Heat resistance: after crystallization, the material can withstand elevated temperatures, depending on the degree of crystallization.
Applications
- Mechanical components: bushings, guides, gears, and other parts subject to friction and mechanical loads.
- Industrial equipment: functional mechanism components, fasteners, housings, and technical parts.
- Automotive industry: parts that come into contact with fuel, lubricants, and other technical fluids.
- Engineering prototyping: creation of durable prototypes and test models for design verification.
- Functional products: components requiring resistance to bending, stretching, abrasion, and chemical exposure.
- High-temperature parts: products that, after appropriate heat treatment, must withstand exposure to high temperatures.
Compatibility with 3D Printers and Materials
PET MonoFilament is designed for FDM 3D printers that support 1.75 mm diameter filament. According to the manufacturer's recommendations, printing can be performed on both open-frame and enclosed printers. To achieve high-quality results, it is important to properly configure the extruder temperature, build plate temperature, and cooling.
Recommended printing parameters:
- Extruder temperature: 255–270 °C.
- Build plate temperature: 60–70 °C.
- Printing speed: 30–80 mm/s.
- Part cooling: required.
- Printer type: open-frame or enclosed.
To ensure consistent print quality, the manufacturer recommends storing the spool in a vacuum container to prevent moisture absorption. Using an enclosed chamber promotes gradual model cooling and helps reduce the risk of shrinkage-related deformation.
It is important to consider a specific characteristic of PET: after printing, the material may remain in an amorphous state. If necessary, printed parts can undergo crystallization (annealing). This increases their heat resistance but may reduce impact toughness.
