Our entry - level composite filament with recycled carbon fibers. It combines the great printability and performance of PETG with the enhanced stiffness from carbon fiber reinforcement. Print high - speed, moisture - insensitive, and low - creep prototypes with excellent dimensional accuracy. PETG - rCF08 offers the perfect blend of affordability and functionality, allowing you to quickly create durable and accurate prototypes. Features: Affordable and easy - to - use, it's like the 'PLA of engineering materials'. It uses recycled carbon fibers from end - of - life wind turbine blades, certified to the Global Recycled Standard, ensuring sustainable sourcing while maintaining mechanical strength. It provides high dimensional accuracy, low moisture sensitivity, and low shrinkage during printing, ideal for rapid prototyping and various functional applications. It's high - speed capable, printable up to 300mm/s on suitable printers, and offers an excellent surface finish. Note: Low moisture sensitivity doesn't mean it doesn't need to be kept dry for best results. All PETG - rCF specimens were printed at 270°C nozzle temperature, 60°C bed temperature, and 0 - 50% cooling fan, with 100% infil, 2 shells, and 3 top & bottom layers. Thermal and mechanical properties are provided for reference only and not for design or quality control due to 3D printing nature.
Using the Polymaker Fiberon PETG - rCF08 filament is quite straightforward. First, set your printer's nozzle temperature to 270°C and the bed temperature to 60°C. You can adjust the cooling fan to 0 - 50%. For a solid print, use 100% infil, 2 shells, and 3 top and bottom layers. When it comes to storage, keep the filament dry as even though it has low moisture sensitivity, it still performs best when dry. Don't use the provided property data for design specifications or quality control, as 3D printing can cause some variations. If you want to clean the filament, just use a soft, dry cloth. That's all you need to know to get the most out of this great filament.
