How is Pro PCTG better than PETG? – 3D-Fuel

3D-Fuel Pro PCTG is better than PETG in a number of ways

10-30x more impact toughness than PETG
Lower density than PETG for lighter-weight parts
1. Pro PCTG has a density of 1.23 g/cm3 compared to PETGs average density of 1.27 g/cm3
2. This also means you get more Pro PCTG filament per 1kg spool compared to a 1kg spool of PETG
~5-10 °C higher temperature resistance than PETG
1. Pro PCTG has a Glass Transition temperature (Tg) of 84 °C (183 F)
2. Pro PCTG has a Heat Distortion Temperature (HDT) @0.455 MPa of 74 °C (165 °F)
Much stronger and broader chemical resistance
Higher UV resistance
Absorbs moisture at only 1/3 the rate of PETG
1. Keep open spools drier for longer
40+ colors (and growing!) including transparents and special effects
Manufactured in the USA for a resilient, responsive supply chain
Filament profiles available for all Bambu printers + many other major 3D printer brands and models (all developed in-house on the actual printers)
US customer support - we pick up the phone when you call in with technical support questions

If those things are valuable to you, Pro PCTG by 3D-Fuel is a great material!
