TAULMAN T-GLASE PETT - 1.75MM - 450G - BLACK

Taulman3D has now released its line of low-temp, high-strength industrial t-glase filaments to the desktop 3D printing community. T-glase, which is short for tough glass, is a high strength industrial 3D printer filament specially designed for users printing with PLA or lower temperature desktop 3D printers.

Features

• Taulman t-glase is made in the USA
• Very high strength
• Optimal printing temperature is between approximately 235°C and 240°C, but will print as low as 230°C and as high as approximately 248°C

Taulman t-glase is derived from the strongest PETT polymer combination available on the market. As t-glase is part of the Taulman3D family, you can rest assured that t-glase is a tough material! Where Taulmans nylons 618 and 645 are quite flexible, T-Glase is still a fairly rigid material. When it comes to rigidity/flexibility, t-glase is more comparable to ABS and PLA, rather than Taulmans nylons 618 and 645 filaments. Taulman t-glase filament comes in a clear color, as clear is the natural color for this type of polymer. Summing up the above features, it is concluded that Taulmans T-Glase filament is a very transparent and strong, and also quite light material.

Like PLA filament, t-glase is printed at lower temperatures. The optimal printing temperature for printing with T-Glase filament is between approximately 212°C and 224°C. However it will print as low as 207°C and as high as approximately 235°C. T-glase prints easily on acrylic, glass, Kapton and other platforms. It has excellent bridging characteristics and has minimal to no warpage which makes it an excellent material for printing large objects. Also nice to know, t-glase prints with no odors or fumes.

T-glase filament comes on a spool with approximately 450 grams of filament wound around, and is available in 1.75mm and 3mm diameters.

Taulman T-glase filament features

• Taulman t-glase is made in the USA
• Very high strength
• Optimal printing temperature is between approximately 235°C and 240°C, but will print as low as 230°C and as high as approximately 248°C
• Taulman t-glase is FDA approved, as t-glase is specifically made with FDA approved polymers for direct food contact/containers. This includes cups and other liquid storage parts, as well as utensils
• T-glase is recyclable. Even though t-glase is not biodegradable like PLA, it is still 100% reclaimable in a compatible home filament extruder/maker. If you have a home filament extruder/maker you can actually mix in 12% of the total weight in discarded clear water bottles
• Taulman3D t-glases transparency supports the industry requirements for non-destructive evaluation of 3D printed parts
• T-glases very low shrinkage makes printing large flat surfaces a breeze. And it prints easily on acrylic, glass, Kapton and other platforms
• T-glase is very impressive in bridging
• There are no odors or fumes when 3D printing with t-glase

Tips and tricks for using Taulman nylon filament

• Taulman T-glase has a slightly higher viscosity than other printing materials. As the layer height exceeds 50% of the nozzle diameter, the print speed needs to be adjusted downwards by approximately 10% - 20%
• Retraction: due to a slightly higher viscosity, the retraction distance may need to be lengthened
• Excessive bubbles in the printed strand indicate a higher than needed print temperature. Reducing print temperature to below 238°C will result in less strand opacity due to recombination with atmosphere, however this will also reduce layer adhesion that exceeds 25% of the nozzle diameter
• Shrinkage is equal to that of ABS and can be controlled by using garolite (LE) as a build plate cover/plate
• Heated beds help just as they do for printing with ABS
• Note: Taulman T-glase currently measures 1.76mm to 1.83mm in diameter in a slightly oval shape due to the drawing and cooling process. The cross section of the line is consistent, however users should make a slight adjustment to their "Material Diameter" settings (1.78mm - 1.80mm) to account for this slight variation.
