Bambu PETG HF is a fully optimized PETG filament designed specifically for high-speed printing. With a default printing speed that is twice as fast as standard PETG filaments, PETG HF takes printing efficiency to new heights. It effectively addresses common issues such as oozing and clumping associated with regular PETG, ensuring smoother and more reliable prints. The new matte finish not only enhances the aesthetic by smoothing out uneven gloss during speed transitions but also provides a consistently uniform look. Offering greater durability and toughness than PLA, PETG HF is the ideal choice for creating long-lasting items with an improved finish and faster production times.
The PETG that prints as effortlessly as PLA
PETG HF achieves ideal print results without fine-tuning parameters. Thanks to advanced formula optimization, PETG HF bids farewell to oozing and clumping, ensuring smoother prints with crisp details.
PETG HF provides a smooth texture and consistent gloss at any printing speed, ensuring uniformity and sharp details in every print.
PETG HF maintains the inherent strengths of regular PETG, providing superior resistance to water, UV, and high temperatures. Tougher and more durable than PLA, with higher temperature resistance, it's the perfect choice for printing outdoor items such as planter pots, bird cages, watering cans, and automotive parts. Additionally, it's ideal for outdoor toys that require long-term exposure and the ability to withstand impacts, collisions, and falls.
All printing parameters are embedded in RFID, which can be read through the Automatic Material System.
