Phaetus aeForce™ PET-GF Filament 1kg Spool
- Color
1kg spool of 15% glass-filled PET (1.75mm) — an engineering-grade step up from ordinary PETG. The chopped glass fiber adds stiffness, creep resistance and dimensional stability, and it anneals without warping for parts that need that extra strength. PET also runs hotter and tougher than PETG while still printing fine in open air.
What it prints well
Functional parts: brackets, jigs, fixtures, motor/sensor mounts, mechanical components that see moderate heat and load. Low moisture-pickup-rate, good chemical resistance, low warp/shrink. Not a cosmetic filament — glass fill gives a matte, slightly rough finish.
Hardware you need
A hardened nozzle is mandatory. Glass-filled material is abrasive and will chew through plated copper or brass in mere meters. Run a hardened steel, DLC-coated, tungsten-carbide, or ruby nozzle. If you don't have one, add one to the cart now — this is not optional with GF filament.
| Nozzle | 280-320℃ — hardened/DLC/tungsten-carbide/ruby required |
| Bed | 60-80℃ — PEI with a release agent (see goo.by.frank.af; helps your bed survive) |
| Chamber | Not required — prints open air. Ventilate the room; GF/PET can release VOCs. |
| Cooling | Off |
| Speed | 30-90 mm/s |
| Dry before use | PET is thirsty. If the spool has sat open, dry it (~70-80℃ for several hours) before printing — wet PET-GF prints stringy and weak. |
Liquidation stock — priced to move. Engineering filament has a shelf life once it picks up moisture; if you've got a use for tough glass-filled PET, grab it.
