CPE

Printability of CPE filament

CPE is very easy to print. It is a good start to print CPE with your PETG settings with just increased temperature to 265/80. We highly recommend (after breaking our bed =] ) using an adhesive for printing CPE. The reason is not that it would warp or not stick on your bed, but exactly the opposite! CPE has too high adhesion to other materials like plastic, composites, and glass that it can damage your bed without any "middle-layer" in between the print and the bed.

CPE mechanical and thermal properties

CPE HG100 is simply PETG on steroids. It was specially developed for PETG lovers that needed more of the goodness. Here's why:

• Durable, tough, long life of the material
• Excellent impact resistance (doesn't break like basic PLA)
• Excellent interlayer adhesion
• Printability like PLA, no warping
• Food contact safety (certificate available on request for Fillamentum)
• Odorless
• Great tensile and flexural strength, high hardness
• Heat resistance of 80°C (HDT 0.45MPa)
• The hardness combined with the high heat resistance makes it easy to post-process
• Highly transparent in thin layers and a glossy finish.
• 100% recyclable, bio-based, BPA free
• Great resistance to oil and chemical compounds

Tips and other notable benefits

CPE is highly moisture sensitive. In order to maintain the filament quality, please keep it in a resealable sachet. If stringing occurs, re-dry the filament at 60°C for 4hours, and if it persists, check your retraction settings (you'll probably need to increase retraction by 1mm).
