PCTG Black 1.75mm 1kg

PCTG (Polycyclohexylenedimethylene Terephthalate Glycol)

PCTG is a modern 3D printing material with a wide range of features that make it versatile and user-friendly ????:

• Superior Impact Resistance: PCTG is tougher than standard PETG — it can withstand drops and heavy impacts ????, making it perfect for durable parts and prototypes.

• Excellent Transparency: It offers a glossy and clear surface ✨ — ideal for transparent designs or prints where a polished finish is desired.

• Chemical Resistance: PCTG resists a variety of chemicals, oils, and greases ????️????, making it suitable for industrial and practical applications.

• High Heat Resistance: It can handle higher temperatures than PLA without deforming ???? — expanding its usability for functional parts.

• Flexible Yet Strong: PCTG provides a balance between flexibility and strength ???? — great for parts that need to bend without breaking.

• Easy to Print: Known for excellent bed adhesion, minimal warping, and reliable print quality ????️ — even for large objects.

• Food Safe: Certified for food contact use — perfect for containers, kitchenware, and more ????️.

With all these features, PCTG is a fantastic choice for both functional and aesthetic 3D printing projects.
