Reviews
Made the switch to Pro PCTG
"I'd primarily printed with PLA and made a few attempts at getting into PETG. Because of spool compatibility with AMS and available printer profiles, I decided to try PCTG and I'm glad I did. I have two printers and one is almost exclusively printing PCTG projects now. I did dial in the printing profiles for my setup and results, but the 3D Fuel profiles were a great starting point. I switched my AMS silica boxes over to PCTG too."

Better than PETG. Deep rich colors and consistency
"This has become my new go‑to filament since I got into the hobby. It improves on PETG in most of the ways that matter, but without the usual stringing or finicky print behavior. The Benchy shown was printed on a Bambu H2D at 0. 16 mm layer height, before I even calibrated or dried the filament, and it still came out with clean lines, consistent extrusion, and a deep, rich color. I’m already planning to buy more. I’d love to grab one of every color they make, but I’m forcing myself to show a little restraint."

Calling this glow in the dark is a stretch
"Initially, I was very excited to use a glow in the dark PCTG filament that was made in the USA but this barely even glows. I had several items sitting on my work bench made in various glow in the dark filaments when I noticed that the 3D Fuel one barely even glows after I shut off the lights in my workshop. All the Chinese brands that I tried put 3D fuel to shame with how well they glow."

Gunmetal Blue PCTG
"Prints great! Pro PCTG has become my filament of choice, yes, more expensive, but prints reliably and consistently. Settings John and his Team have come up with work great! Customer Service Team is top notch!"

General Hobby
"I am using this 'recycled' filament for tool holders and other prints where the only thing important is the caracteristics of the final print. This has included brackets in the garage and outside shed, as well as items that will be out of sight. But frankly the 2 rolls that I have used have been solid black and don't show any color shift so out of sight has not been an issue. I just printed a couple of things for family that I know will be in the 'line of fire' to be spilled on, or otherwise need cleaning. I like the fact that warm water does not seem to soften the print like PLA. At the current price I may stock up on this as I like working with it."

"Great product, durable, and matches the famous red power tool color spot on. Their pre made print profiles are a great start too. Customer support is great and replies very quickly even over social media. Overall very easy to print, and quality far exceeds my expectations."

I love the transparent PCTG colors
"This filament is a showstopper: the color depth, clarity, and glossy finish make prints look almost jewel-like, and the way it catches light gives even small parts a premium, display-ready appearance. The translucent red especially has that “wow” factor where layer lines become part of the aesthetic instead of a flaw, which is exactly what you want from a specialty filament. What stands out most is the visual consistency across the different prints. The material seems to hold detail cleanly, with crisp edges and excellent surface sheen, while still giving that luminous, glassy look that makes decorative parts, light diffusers, and artistic models pop. It also appears to print with enough dimensional stability to produce clean geometry without losing the rich transparent character. The sample set suggests a filament that is not just pretty, but genuinely fun to work with. It delivers the kind of results that make you want to keep printing because each part looks finished straight off the bed, and the color selection shown here makes it easy to build striking multicolor or themed projects. For anyone who values presentation as much as performance, this is the kind of filament that turns a good print into a great one."

"Product came a day early, I calibrated and ran a print that requires stability,I haven't tested the strength yet, but when I tested it by hand, it is remarkably stronger than the old PLA material, and since I was able to print at 30% infill, this is actually cheaper too."

Amazing quality filaments!
"I used the cobalt blue and bitcoin yellow for this speaker project. Turn out great!"

Perfect color I was looking for
"I designed and printed a set of drawers and shelf for the top of my desk under the monitor. I wanted to make inserts to slide into the drawer fronts that would match the color of my Ikea adjustable desk. It's a deep bluish gray color and I was looking everywhere for a color to match but nothing was even close. I never thought of checking 3D Fuel and the PCTG colors because I didn't need the strength. I was just using it as a decorative piece. I came here to get some more matte black PCTG for other builds and that's when I stumbled upon the Gunmetal Blue in the toolbox colors. As soon as I saw it, it hit me. . . my desk is Bosch Blue! Because of the lighting glare, my photos don't do justice for the desk color match. But you can see that the parts would match Bosch tools perfectly. With the big selection of newer colors added to the PCTG line as of late, I now no to check here more often because I do love to print with this stuff. It prints so easy and the finishes are always beautiful, not to mention the structural qualities when you need it. I love printing 3D Fuel PCTG!"
