PCTG+GF filament is our new product for 3D print enthusiasts. This material combines the strength and versatility of modern copolyester with the unique properties of glass fiber. It is a technical filament for 3D printing with a high impact strength. That makes it an ideal for advanced projects where typical polymers are not enough.
Fiberglass (10%) adds unique capabilities to the filament. This creates a product with greater strength and stiffness, while maintaining resistance to external conditions and chemicals. The properties of the PCTG GF filament make it ideal for printing machine parts, tools or outdoor applications.
The following parameters are only suggested print settings for this material. To ensure the best print quality, it is necessary to choose the appropriate settings for a specific printer and printing conditions.
Nozzle Temperature | 250-270°C |
Bed Temperature | 90-110°C |
Closed chamber | not required |
Fan | 0-25% |
Flowrate | 90-100% |
Printing Speed | 35-60 mm/s |
Surface | masking tape, PVA glue, hairspray |
Retraction (direct) | 1-2 mm |
Retraction (bowden) | 3-5 mm |
Retraction Speed | 20-45 mm/s |
Drying conditions | 60°C / 4h |
Notes | The material has highly abrasive properties. We recommend the use of hardened steel or ruby nozzles. Due to the strong adhesion to the bed, it is not recommended to print directly on its surface or on glass. This can lead to damage. We recommend using a masking tape. |
Fiberlogy CPE ANTIBAC is an innovative antibacterial filament with high mechanical and temperature resistance combined with antimicrobial properties. Considering the resistance to high temperatures, it surpasses e.g. PET-G or PCTG filament that belong to the same polymer family. It is resistant to temperatures up to 110°C and the effects of UV radiation, chemicals, and lipids.
CPE ANTIBAC is odorless, as well as BPA, BPS and styrene-free. This antibacterial filament ownes its properties to silver nanoparticles that guarantee effective protection against microbes. The microbiological tests performed show biocidal properties both of the filaments and 3D prints. Research results confirm the effectiveness in reducing the number of bacteria, among others Escherichia coli (by 100%) and Staphylococcus aureus (by 92.4%). In the repeated testing, a result of 100% and 97%, respectively, was obtained.
CPE ANTIBAC is intended for use on both desktop and industrial FFF/FDM 3D printers. A closed printing chamber is not required, but it can help achieve prints with better durability parameters. Due to its unique properties, Fiberlogy CPE ANTIBAC shall be applied in prints exposed to microbial growth, such as plastic elements found in public spaces, laboratory equipment, as well as clinical accessories.

Our blend of polycarbonate (PC) and ABS provides excellent mechanical properties over a very wide temperature range. The combination of these components creates a filament characterized by exceptional impact strength, especially at low temperatures, and a high HDT value. This allows the material to be used at temperatures up to 110 °C.
