{"product_id":"3dxtech-max-g-pctg","title":"3DXTech MAX-G PCTG 1.75mm 750g - Black","description":"\u003cp\u003eMAX-G™ PCTG is an excellent alternative to the ever-popular PETG. Both PCTG and PETG are polyesters and great printing materials, but PCTG offers improved clarity, chemical resistance and impact resistance vs. PETG – making it a more durable engineering-grade option for demanding applications. This material exhibits low shrinkage and excellent dimensional stability making it a go-to for engineering applications. PCTG does not require a heated chamber and is easily printed on most open-source desktop printers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBenefits of PCTG Include:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuperior chemical resistance to ABS and PETG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVery low odor while printing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmorphous structure giving it a low, near isotropic shrinkage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow moisture absorption, 3x lower than ABS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide range of processing from 250-270°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuperior ductility vs. PETG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"row-1430899465\" class=\"row row-box-shadow-2\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col medium-6 large-6\" id=\"col-748804845\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-inner\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cb\u003e PRINT RECOMMENDATION\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1745\/6181\/files\/Screenshot_2024-07-26_152551_66c220c3-933e-4b9a-8c66-412bbce6c836_1024x1024.png?v=1722022167\" style=\"margin-bottom: 16px; float: none;\" data-mce-style=\"margin-bottom: 16px; float: none;\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1745\/6181\/files\/Screenshot_2024-07-26_152551_66c220c3-933e-4b9a-8c66-412bbce6c836_1024x1024.png?v=1722022167\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1745\/6181\/files\/Screenshot_2024-07-26_152910_1024x1024.png?v=1722022167\" style=\"margin-bottom: 16px; float: none;\" data-mce-style=\"margin-bottom: 16px; float: none;\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1745\/6181\/files\/Screenshot_2024-07-26_152910_1024x1024.png?v=1722022167\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"row-1430899465\" class=\"row row-box-shadow-2\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col medium-6 large-6\" id=\"col-748804845\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-inner\"\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.3dxtech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/PCTG_TDS_v1.0.pdf\" class=\"plain\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.3dxtech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/PCTG_TDS_v1.0.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" data-mce-block=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"icon-box featured-box icon-box-left text-left\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"icon-box-img\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFilament Specifications:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.75mm and 2.85mm +\/- 0.05mm in diameter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRecommended Print Settings:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtruder: 250-270°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBed Temp: 70-80°C\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeated Chamber: Not required\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrying Instructions: 65°C for 4 hours.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1745\/6181\/files\/PCTG_TDS_v1.0.pdf?v=1722023686\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eDOWNLOAD TDS\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1745\/6181\/files\/PCTG_SDS_v1.0.pdf?v=1722023686\"\u003eDOWNLOAD SDS\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFrequently Asked Questions \u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is MAX-G PCTG?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMAX-G PCTG is a high-performance, transparent thermoplastic copolyester.
