What Makes Pro PCTG "Pro"?

3D-Fuel uses a high-CHDM-content PCTG resin formulation to produce a high-performance, professional-grade PCTG filament.

CHDM (cyclohexane dimethanol) is the component of Pro PCTG that provides high impact toughness, chemical resistance, UV resistance, temperature resistance, and lower moisture absorption.

PCTG and PETG are on the same copolyester spectrum as Tritan, the super-tough material used in Nalgene water bottles. If PETG is on the low end of the spectrum and Tritan is on the high end of the spectrum, Pro PCTG is about 2/3 of the way to Tritan, but with a lower cost than Tritan.

Many other PCTG filaments on the market use a resin with a lower percentage of CHDM than 3D-Fuel Pro PCTG, so the others tend to be more like a really nice PETG than a true PCTG.

Pro PCTG → Print Settings + Profiles

Find your Pro PCTG profile here.

At 3D-Fuel, we're working to develop Pro PCTG profiles for as many popular 3D printers as possible, but unfortunately, we're unable to cover every single 3D printer brand, model, and upgrade permutation.

We have our developed profiles available here for download, but if you have a 3D printer we don't have a profile for yet, you can easily create one using the steps below:

  • Start with a PETG profile
  • Increase hotend temp to 250-280C
  • Set textured PEI bed temp to 80C
  • Decrease cooling fan speeds as low as possible
  • No enclosure needed but, if you have one, close the lid and doors
  • If your enclosure is heated, 45C is a good temperature.
  • Calibrate your pressure advance settings
  • Enable a wipe move after retraction
Drying + Storing Instructions

Dry filament is happy filament!

If your dryer can reach 70C, dry at 70C. Otherwise, dry at 65C for a longer period.
Drying Temp: 70C
Drying Time: 6-8 hours

Drying Temp: 65C
Drying Time: 8-12 hours

Please store Pro PCTG in an airtight container with desiccant when possible. Even though Pro PCTG absorbs moisture more slowly than PETG, it will still absorb moisture over time.

Wet filament can cause a poor surface finish on your printed part and may even contribute to nozzle clogging.

Pro PCTG, Toolbox Teal, 1.75mm

Pro PCTG takes everything you love about PETG and makes it better: 8-12x tougher, more chemically resistant, and clearer. It offers exceptional impact strength, making it perfect for functional parts, prototypes, and demanding applications. With low moisture absorption, it prints reliably without warping or brittleness. With a wide range of colors, 3D-Fuel Pro PCTG has the color you need for your 3D printing projects.

Reviews

Toolbox Yellow and Black Battery Caddy

"This caddy shows why PCTG is worth using for shop parts. The Toolbox Yellow is a close match to DeWalt yellow, bright and saturated, with enough gloss to look like a molded part instead of a print. The color stays even across both faces, including the large flat back panel, where uneven extrusion usually shows up first. The side view shows the dimensional side of PCTG. The two battery rails came out sharp, with defined latch steps and square slot walls, which matters because battery packs rely on tight rail tolerances to click in and stay put. Layer lines on the vertical walls are fine and consistent, and the chamfered corners and handle cutout have clean edges with no visible warping or corner lift on a fairly large, flat part."

Received 1 pure white roll & 1 black to CLEAR

"Super awesome colors to have received from recycled filament. One of the rolls white white, and the other literally transitions from black to clear, which I very super interesting. I have never seen a roll of filament be a clear and transition before. Glad I received two different colored rolls with my order."

— Michael K. (5/5)

New “go-to” Filament

"I’ve completely converted to PCTG as my everyday filament; and 3D-Fuel provides the best PCTG on the market. I have no use for PLA and PETG isn’t worth a few pennies in savings to take the place of PCTG."

— Dan (5/5)

"I’m happy with the filaments performance and appearance. 3d-fuel provides print profiles and information, though they’re a bit conservative. The order took a while to arrive, but that was disclosed in the product description. I was hoping to try full spectrum on my H2C only to find out Bambu hasn’t easily implemented this yet (obviously not 3d-fuel’s fault). One warning: be careful drying this. The spools are made of HIPS and can’t tolerate higher temperatures. I’d be wary of anything over 70C."

— Ralf (5/5)

Great filament

"I have found your filament to print a very specific part that needs overall stability but flexibility at the same time. I was going to use a PETG-CF, but found PCTG and tried it. It works perfectly for my product and comes in all the colors that I need. When I am fully ready to go, I will share with the class what my product is. PCTG, if you need strength and flexibility, it has it."

— Scott C. (5/5)

Great! 5 stars Printing on

"Great! 5 stars Printing on Snapmaker U1 with 0.2 nozzles. Translucent Black is perfect for my application."

— Risa E. (5/5)

ReFuel! Great Deal, Great Filament

"This 3D‑printed LED lamp core is a great showcase for recycled PCTG. The translucent yellow filament diffuses light evenly while still letting the internal structure show through, giving it a modern, warm glow rather than a harsh hotspot. The vertical ribbing and rectangular cutouts add visual interest and help break up the light, so it looks good both lit and unlit. Dimensional accuracy appears solid and the cylinder sits cleanly in its base and the walls look uniform with no obvious warping or layer adhesion issues. Overall, it’s a clean, functional print that makes smart use of recycled material and feels like a sturdy, practical piece for an LED ambient lamp project."

— John K. (5/5)

This stuff is the best

"This stuff is the best filament for everything you’d use PetG for but much better. I’ll probably never buy petg again."

— Aaron R. (5/5)

"When I want tough, durable prints, 3D Fuel Pro PCTG is my go to. I've find nothing better. It's easy to print and consistently gives great results."

— Michael (5/5)

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."
