How to store filaments
Humidity and UV light can decrease the filament quality and weaken its mechanical properties. We strongly recommend storing open filaments in a dry and dark place. You can find a complete guide on how to properly store your filament here
Where to throw print fails and supports?
We kindly ask our customers to cope with plastic waste responsibly. Failed prints, support material, rafts, or brims should be liquidated according to the local guidelines. Paradoxically, in most cases, it is better to throw this waste in the regular trash can, as most of the material waste created in 3D printing is not identified, which causes more problems than benefits in the waste sorting facilities.

General information about PETG :
Printability of PETG filament
PETG is such a popular filament for a lot of reasons. It has a perfect interlayer adhesion without a heated chamber (which is often a problem compared, for instance, to ABS). Its flawless and continuous nozzle flow combined with zero warp makes it a perfect partner for long print jobs and for printing large objects without the need for a heated chamber. For those reasons, PETG is the bestselling material across the FDM 3D printing industry. Compared to PLA, PETG tends to string a little bit, a problem that can be easily fixed by tweaking your retraction settings.
PETG mechanical and thermal properties
PETG is the perfect combination of the mechanical goodness of ABS and the ease of printing of PLA. It is tougher than PLA, meaning that it doesn't crack as easily when under pressure. It also has improved impact resistance and thermal resistance of 73°C. Imagine the mechanical properties of a PET plastic bottle; that should give you a reasonable illustration of the strength of this material.
Tips and other notable benefits
Raw PETG is glossy, and so, if not explicitly specified otherwise in the short product description, the surface finish will be glossy. This property can be slightly tweaked by adjusting the cooling fan speed; the more you cool, the more matt will be the finished part. On the other hand, the less you cool the print, the stronger it will be.
PETG has such a wide range of applications, that for instance, it is highly probable that your 3D printer has parts printed from PETG. This material is odorless, and generally speaking, it is okay to use it in contact with food. (Although not every manufacturer provides a certificate for food compliance. Also, please note that for use in official applications you would need to re-certify it, more here). While printing with PETG, no toxic fumes or vapor are released like with ABS.

3DXTech is an American manufacturer of engineering filaments, produced in Michigan, USA. It is the brand to look at when standard PLA or PETG is not enough: carbon-fibre reinforced and ESD-safe materials for functional parts, jigs, fixtures and electronics. JustCreate3D keeps selected 3DXTech filaments in stock in its warehouse in Senec, Slovakia, and dispatches them quickly.
3DXTech has been making filaments since 2014, and its formulations build on more than 25 years of experience in the polymer industry. Its portfolio is one of the broadest on the market: almost every conventional material in an enhanced version – ESD, carbon fibre, glass fibre, flame retardant or antibacterial – plus industrial polymers such as PPS, PVDF, PSU, PES, TPI and PEKK.
3DXTech filaments at JustCreate3D
- CarbonX™ – carbon-fibre reinforced filaments for stiff, dimensionally stable parts: CarbonX™ PLA+CF, CarbonX™ PETG+CF, CarbonX™ PC+CF, CarbonX™ EZPC+CF, CarbonX™ PP+CF.
- 3DXSTAT™ ESD – electrostatic-dissipative filaments for parts that hold or house electronics: 3DXSTAT™ ESD PLA, 3DXSTAT™ ESD PETG, 3DXSTAT™ ESD ABS, 3DXSTAT™ ESD PC.
Who is 3DXTech for?
Engineers, makers and companies printing functional parts rather than decorations. Carbon-fibre filaments are abrasive, so print them with a hardened steel nozzle instead of brass. PC and ABS-based grades print best in an enclosed printer, as they are prone to warping.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a special nozzle for CarbonX™ filaments?
Yes, we recommend it. Carbon fibres wear out brass nozzles quickly, so use a hardened steel nozzle. You can find nozzles in our spare parts category.
What does ESD mean?
ESD filaments are electrostatic dissipative: they safely conduct away static charge. This makes 3DXSTAT™ parts suitable for trays, housings and fixtures used around sensitive electronic components.
Can I get a 3DXTech material that is not listed?
The manufacturer’s industrial range is much wider than what we keep in stock. If you need a material that is not listed, write to support@justcreate3d.com and we will check whether it can be ordered.
