Description
The Fiberlogy PCTG is a high-performance filament from the material family of the tried-and-tested PETG, but clearly surpasses it in several key properties. Compared to PETG, it offers up to 20 times higher impact strength, improved temperature resistance and greater transparency. This makes the material a high-performance alternative for more demanding applications.
Despite its improved mechanical properties, PCTG remains a user-friendly material: it does not require a heated build space during the printing process and can therefore be easily processed on most commercially available 3D printers. The high dimensional stability and low shrinkage ensure precise, dimensionally accurate printing results and make the filament easy to handle even for users without extensive 3D printing experience.
In the Izod impact bending test (notched sample), Fiberlogy PCTG achieves values of approx. 90 kJ/m² and is dimensionally stable up to a temperature of 76 °C. This combination of high impact strength, heat resistance and optical clarity opens up a wide range of applications from prototyping to small series production of functional components.
Possible areas of application:
- Spare parts, small series, utility models,
- Engine compartment components, housings for vehicle components, air intakes, filling devices for liquids,
- Sports accessories, protectors, airsoft components,
- Prostheses, medical devices.

PCTG
I had never heard of this type of filament before until a friend mentioned it. I've printed PLA and PETG lots of times so was unsure how easy this PCTG would be to use. I'm using a Prusa mk3s which I built from a kit and use prusaslicer, no settings adjusted, just 100% big standard.
I chose the PETG settings in the slicer and crossed my fingers. I printed out some bash plates for a friend's RC car which I've done before in PETG. This new PCTG filament printed like a dream. Exactly the same settings as PETG and looked just as good.
He's had the bash plates on for a while now and they look brand new, less scratches than the PETG ones I printed before.
Yes it's not as cheap as PETG, but I think it is a better material.
Would I buy more?
Yeah but the price needs to drop closer to the PETG price range to make it more palatable.
P.s. the only downside I found are the oddly shaped reels. Maybe a recycled cardboard reel would be a better idea, but now I see the filament can be bought as a refill instead, that's a better idea altogether.
