Tester Information, Tips, Tricks and Survey
Thank you so much for helping us out! We are super happy to work with you, and we hope that all of you can get some great results!
PET has a melting point of about 260 degrees Celsius. If the plastic is heated beyond this point, harmful fumes may be released. We recommend that you do not heat it this hot.
​
For our printing tests, we have had our printer set to 220 degrees C (or higher), and we have kept the bed temperature at or above 65 degrees C.
​
We have also had some success with the ABS preset on our Prusa Printer.
​
Our printing speed was about 50%, and our flow rate was set to about 90%.
​
PET becomes very brittle when it cools, so be sure to keep your fan speed down to prevent it from cooling and hardening too soon.
​
Please let us know how your prints turn out. If you want to try some more, let us know, and we can send a little bit more for you to test!
​
Thank you all so much for all the help!

Let us know how your prints turned out using the form below, or just by contacting us by email, Instagram, Facebook, etc. if you can, please include photos so that we can see any progress, or issues that may have arisen.
​
Please do keep in mind that this filament is highly experimental, and is not professional grade. Issues can/will occur, but we hope to be able to learn and hear from all of you to improve our filament!
​
Again, thank you so much for taking the time to test for us. It really means a lot, and it will really help us gain a better understanding of how our filament works with different settings.
