3D-Fuel - Pro PCTG Filament – Electric Pink, 1.75mm

3D-Fuel Pro PCTG is like PETG but better in many ways. It is tougher (up to 30x tougher than PETG), more chemically resistant, and has even greater clarity. Pro PCTG is an easy-to-use material with a lower moisture absorption rate than PETG and doesn't require an enclosure—use it just like standard PETG filament.

The vibrant Electric Pink color and ease of printing make it an ideal choice for printing in a multi-color 3D printing system like the Bambu Lab AMS.

Print Profiles & Bambu AMS Compatibility

Since October 2023, 3D-Fuel filaments have been manufactured using AMS-compliant spools. Since it takes time for some colors to move through warehouse inventory, you may receive an older spool type. This is still compatible with the AMS, but you must leave the lid open a few millimeters.

Pro PCTG vs. PETG: High Impact Resistance

Pro PCTG is 20% to 50% more impact resistant than PETG due to its advanced molecular structure. Containing cyclohexane dimethanol (CHDM), it offers increased flexibility and ductility, allowing parts to absorb and dissipate energy during impact without cracking or shattering. It also provides superior inter-layer bonding, reducing weak points in your 3D prints.

• Drop Resistance: Ideal for high-impact applications like electronic enclosures or wearable devices.
• Repeated Stress: Endures repeated bending or sudden forces better than PETG, making it perfect for hinges, clips, and mechanical parts.
• Extreme Conditions: Resists embrittlement under low temperatures, maintaining its toughness where PETG fails.

Advanced Chemical Resistance

Pro PCTG delivers a significant chemical resistance rating (CRR) advantage over PETG, making it highly stable when exposed to harsh substances:

• Alcohols & Hydrocarbons: Resists prolonged exposure to IPA, ethanol, gasoline, and mineral spirits without degrading or stress-cracking.
• Acids & Alkalis: Maintains structural integrity in mild to moderately concentrated acids and strong bases.
• Industrial Cleaning Agents: Withstands bleach and industrial degreasers without discoloration or structural damage.
• Oils & Lubricants: Resists swelling or weakening from prolonged contact with engine oils and hydraulic fluids.

Lower Moisture Absorption & Easy Drying

Unlike highly hygroscopic materials, Pro PCTG absorbs less moisture than PETG (typically around 0.1–0.2% by weight). Its modified structure reduces polar sites available for moisture interaction, meaning it requires less frequent drying and is highly forgiving in humid environments. If drying is needed for optimal performance, bake the filament at 60-70°C for 4-8 hours.
