American Filament PCTG Filament is very similar to PETG with several distinct advantages. You could even call it a PETG+! Our PCTG Filament is made with a PET-based copolyester specifically designed for professional grade 3D printing applications where easy processing and high toughness are critical. 

Our PCTG Filament is made with a PET-based copolyester specifically designed for professional grade 3D printing applications where easy processing and high toughness are critical.

This material features a unique self-bonding ability providing very high layer-to-layer adhesion; possesses a high melt strength ensuring an even flow during the 3D printing process; is more chemically resistant & stable than PETG, ABS, or ASA (making it suitable for a wide variety of applications); boasts unmatched impact strength & toughness; has lower moisture absorption than PETG (making it more shelf stable); and can be printed reliably without an enclosure. 

Unlike PETG, the finish of PCTG can vary between matte and glossy depending upon the temperature and speed settings you choose. Try 240-245°C to get that matte finish!

Key Features:

  • Unmatched Strength & Toughness: Higher compressive, tensile, and impact strength than many other PETGs.
  • High-Temp: Glass Transition Temperature of 85°C. 
  • Professional-Grade Performance
  • Low Odor
  • Does NOT Require Drying Before Use
  • Effortless Printing: Even flow rate & wide range of nozzle temperatures. 
  • Manufactured in the USA: Manufactured with American quality you can trust.

Print Settings

  • Nozzle Temperature: 240 - 270°C
  • Bed Temperature: 70 - 100°C
  • Speed: 60 - 300 mm/s

Nozzle temperature can vary between 240-270°C depending on desired layer to layer adhesion vs part print quality. Higher nozzle temperatures will result in stronger parts, but may cause lower quality and/or increased stringing.

Part cooling can also vary depending on desired layer to layer adhesion vs part print quality. More cooling will result in better overhangs & bridging, but will decrease the ultimate layer to layer adhesion.

DO NOT DRY AT TEMPERATURES OVER 60°C.

Stand out color

Stand out color. No fuss printing. Bambu H2D already had a filament profile for PCTG.

Great color

Great color, and prints very well, only wish you all used a master spool instead of the one time use spool

I was not happy when I received my shipment

I was not happy when I received my shipment. Two of the four rolls were open.

We are so sorry Brian! We do our best to package our spools so that the vacuum bags stay intact, but we have seen an uptick in shipping damage lately. It seems that our boxes are being handled with less and less care. We are currently exploring options to try to protect our spools even more without having to raise our shipping cost for our customers!

All our best,
The AF Team

Amazing Color and Filament!

Print was super clean while giving the finished products an almost glossy look right off the bed. Been printing a lot of items for use in my car and the heat, no warping to be seen, no discoloration, and no jumps in part strength. No major stringing or adhesion issues when printing. Fell in love with this color / filament immediately and will definitely be getting more

New favorite supplier of PCTG used to go through 3Dfuel but this has been 300% better in every way:
Looks.. Better
Cost.. Better
Quality.. Better
Printability.. Better
Spool winding.. not even close have you seen how bad a spool from 3dfuel looks
