Pro PCTG, Transparent Atomic Purple, 1.75mm

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."

Amazing color and finish

"The 3D-Fuel Pro PCTG just looks good clean lines, rich color, and that nice wet gloss that makes the parts feel a step up from basic PETG or PLA. The yellow Refuel lattice cup has this almost injection-molded vibe: the pattern is sharp, the walls are even, and the gloss catches light in a way that makes the geometry pop instead of hiding it. The Grape Purple and Toolbox Teal pieces show off how well this filament takes pigment, solid, saturated color with no chalkiness, plus a smooth sheen that runs consistently across curved and flat surfaces. Overall, it has that “premium plastic part” look, glossy where you want it, crisp edges, and a finish that makes even simple utility parts feel like product, not just 3D prints."

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."

Clean reliable prints

"Switched to Pro PCTG Midnight Black for some Ubiquiti camera gang boxes. After drying, the prints came out smooth, dimensionally accurate, and completely free of defects. After wrestling with PETG for so long, this feels like a whole new lease on life."

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."
