As an enthusiastic user of a 3D printer, you are always looking for high-grade filaments that work perfectly with your machine. Good news! Fiberlogy, our manufacturer of high-grade 3D printing materials, recently expanded their range and now offers, besides PLA, also 2.85 mm PETG filament in various colours. This filament is not only ideal for Ultimaker 3D printers, but also suitable for a wide range of other 3D printers that support this diameter version. In this blog post you will discover the advantages of the new Fiberlogy filament and why it is an excellent choice for owners of 3D printers that work with 2.85 mm filament.

Advantages of Fiberlogy 2.85 mm PLA filament:

Improved print accuracy: using a slightly larger filament diameter of 2.85 mm can improve print accuracy. This results in better detail and smooth surfaces in your prints. 

Better filament stability: the 2.85 mm PLA filament from Fiberlogy offers higher rigidity compared with the standard 1.75 mm filament. This ensures improved filament stability during the printing process, regardless of the specifications of your 3D printer. The chance of filament deformation or breakage is reduced as a result.

Higher printing speeds: thanks to the larger filament diameter, your 3D printer can reach higher printing speeds without this coming at the expense of print quality. This saves valuable time in completing your projects, regardless of the brand or model of your printer.

Advantages of Fiberlogy 2.85 mm PETG filament

Strength and durability: the 2.85 mm PETG filament from Fiberlogy is stronger and more durable than PLA filament. It offers excellent layer adhesion and impact strength, which makes it ideal for functional prototypes and mechanical parts that have to withstand impact and bending.

Chemical resistance: PETG is more resistant to chemicals and solvents than PLA. This makes it suitable for applications where the object may come into contact with aggressive substances, such as laboratory equipment or containers.

Improved flexibility: compared with PLA, 2.85 mm PETG filament is slightly more flexible, which makes it better able to withstand bending without breaking. This makes it suitable for prints that require some flexibility, such as hinges, spring mechanisms and phone cases.

High temperature resistance: 2.85 mm PETG filament can withstand temperatures up to around 80 °C, whereas PLA filament is more sensitive to heat. This makes PETG suitable for applications that are exposed to higher temperatures, such as functional parts in the automotive industry or lighting fixtures.

Perfectly suited to Ultimaker 3D printers

Ultimaker 3D printers are among the most popular and reliable printers on the market, and the new 2.85 mm PLA and PETG filaments from Fiberlogy are perfectly suited to these machines. At companies, in schools and with home users alike, you will find Ultimaker 3D printers everywhere. Whether you have an Ultimaker 3, an Ultimaker S5 or another model, you can rely on the consistent and high-grade performance of Fiberlogy filaments. Benefit from the extensive choice of materials and get the most out of your Ultimaker printer with 2.85 mm filament from Fiberlogy.
