The PETG filament from The Filament line combines the toughness of ABS with the user-friendly characteristics of PLA, making it a versatile option for a variety of 3D printing applications. Perfect for projects that require strength, flexibility, and durability, PETG is simple to work with, making it accessible even for novice users. It is particularly ideal for producing practical items such as tools, prototypes, and technical parts that must endure everyday use. Thanks to its reliable physical qualities, PETG is an indispensable material for projects where both accuracy and durability are essential.
Produced entirely in Europe, The Filament’s PETG filament helps reduce transport-related emissions while ensuring consistent, high-quality manufacturing. The ReFill filaments are designed with both user convenience and environmental responsibility in mind. Wound on a sustainable cardboard core, they are fully compatible with Bambu Lab printer spools and the AMS module, eliminating the need for additional adapters. This spoolless design contributes to reducing plastic waste, promoting eco-friendly 3D printing practices. For those without a Bambu Lab spool, a downloadable spool model is available in the Attachments section to ensure seamless compatibility with the user's printer.
This filament is also available in a standard spool format where the spool is made from recycled plastic. This PETG filament from The Filament is easy to work with, featuring a recommended printing temperature range of 230-255 ºC and a heated print bed requirement of 60-75 ºC. Printing speeds between 40-150 mm/s ensure flexibility in project execution. A heated build chamber is not required, making it suitable for a variety of 3D printing setups. More information on the PETG filament can be found in the Usage Tips section and in the Attachments section.

Like any 3D printing filament, the The Filament filaments should be stored properly in order to avoid their deterioration and, in consequence, extrusion problems and inferior print quality. The spool can be stored in an airtight plastic bag, in a resealable bag with a desiccant capsule, or in a smart filament container. If the filament has absorbed too much moisture, it must be dried before printing in a filament dryer at 40-50 ºC for about 6 hours.

In order to ensure smooth printing and optimal part quality, the filaments from the The Filament line should be printed in accordance with the settings recommended by the manufacturer in the filaments' technical datasheets.
The filaments from the The Filament line are characterized by ease of printing and great adhesion. Nevertheless, if increased adhesion is needed to prevent warping, adhesion products such as Magigoo, 3DLac or Dimafix are recommended.
The PLA CF and PETG CF filaments contain abrasive carbon fibers. This is why it is best to print these materials with a hardened nozzle with a diameter of minimum 0.4 mm to avoid clogging and excessive nozzle wear, and to obtain high quality parts.
The filaments that come in Refill format are wound onto an eco-friendly cardboard core which makes them compatible with BambuLab reusable spools. Apart from that, the Refill format is compatible with the Spectrum Refill spools, as well as other adjustable spool holders.
