These PETG rods can be formed into complex shapes, such as display racks, without sacrificing durability.

Form these PETG tubes into containers, packaging, and other complex shapes without sacrificing durability.

Pack includes one piece each of acrylic, cast acrylic, cellulose, PETG, and polycarbonate.

This shim stock is color-coded by thickness for easy identification. Cut it into custom shapes to fit your application. Shim stock is corrosion resistant. Sheets come flat packed.

Plastic shim stock works well in light duty applications. It's easier to cut than aluminum stock.

Parts printed with these filaments absorb less moisture than other types of plastic, making them ideal for use in wet or humid environments. They are more durable and flexible than PLA, and easier to print than ABS. Use these filaments with fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printers, and print onto a heated print bed. Printing onto a cool surface causes the molten filament to change temperature rapidly, which can warp your designs. Although finished parts are moisture-resistant, these filaments are sensitive to humidity, and should be stored in a dehumidifying cabinet or a sealed container with desiccant.

Carbon-fiber-filled PETG is more than twice as rigid as unfilled PETG, which makes finished parts more stable and helps them hold their shape. While it is easier to print than unfilled PETG, it is also more abrasive. Use a hardened steel nozzle to print, as this filament will wear out copper and brass nozzles.

Tensile strength is the best measure of a filament's overall strength. Similar to the stress applied on a rope during a game of tug-of-war, it's the amount of pulling force a material can handle before breaking. A higher rating means a stronger filament. A tensile strength of 5,000 psi and above is considered good; 12,000 psi and above is excellent.

Maximum exposure temperature is the point at which a printed part will begin to deform. Above this temperature, your printed parts will start to lose structural integrity.

Print water-resistant packaging or other parts that will be used near sensitive electronics with these filaments. They combine polyester with a static-dissipative compound, which keeps static from building up and reduces the risk that a sudden shock will damage equipment. Parts made from these filaments can be splashed with water or stored in humid areas without degrading. Designed for use with fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printers, they are more durable than PLA and easier to print than ABS.

To prevent parts from warping while they cool, these filaments must be printed onto a heated print bed. Although finished parts are moisture resistant, the filaments themselves are sensitive to humidity. Store them in a sealed container with desiccant or in a dehumidifying cabinet.

Use an electrical resistance tester to make sure your part meets proper resistivity levels. In general, the target surface resistivity for printed parts is 10⁷ to 10⁹ ohms. To adjust your measurements, change the temperature of your printer's extruder. As the extruder's temperature increases, so will the printed part's resistivity.
