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

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

Characteristics

• Taulman t-glase is made in the USA
• Very high resistance
• The optimal printing temperature is between about 235°C and 240°C, but it will print up to 230°C and up to about 248°C.

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

Like PLA filament, t-glase prints at lower temperatures. The optimal printing temperature for printing with T-Glase filament is around 212°C to 224°C. However, it will print up to 207°C and up to around 235°C. T-glase prints easily on acrylic, glass, Kapton and other platforms. It has excellent bridging characteristics and has little to no warping, making it an excellent material for printing large objects. Also nice to know, t-glase prints without any odors or fumes.

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

Taulman T-glase Filament Features

• Taulman t-glase is made in the USA
• Very high resistance
• The optimal printing temperature is between about 235°C and 240°C, but it will print up to 230°C and up to about 248°C.
• Taulman t-glase is FDA approved, as t-glase is specifically made with FDA approved polymers for direct food/container contact. This includes cups and other liquid storage parts, as well as utensils.
• T-glase is recyclable. While t-glase is not as biodegradable as PLA, it is still 100% recoverable in a compatible home extruder/filament maker. If you have a home extruder/filament maker you can actually mix 12% of the total weight into discarded clear water bottles.
• The transparency of Taulman3D t-glases supports industry requirements for non-destructive evaluation of 3D printed parts
• The very low shrinkage of T-glazes makes printing large flat surfaces a breeze. And it prints easily on acrylic, glass, Kapton and other platforms.
• T-glase is really impressive in creating bridges
• 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. Since the layer height exceeds 50% of the nozzle diameter, the printing speed must be adjusted down by about 10% - 20%
• Retraction: Due to a slightly higher viscosity, it may be necessary to lengthen the retraction distance
• Excessive bubbles in the printed filament indicate a higher than required print temperature. Reducing the print temperature below 238°C will result in less filament opacity due to recombination with the atmosphere, however this will also reduce adhesion in layers exceeding 25% of the nozzle diameter.
• Shrinkage is the same as ABS and can be controlled by using Garolite (LE) as a print bed cover/plate.
• Heated beds help just like they do for printing with ABS
• Note: Currently the Taulman T-Glaze 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 the "Material Diameter" settings (1.78mm - 1.80mm) to accommodate this slight variation.

Product Specifications

Taulman t-glase 3D printer filament is wound on a plastic spool that holds approximately 0.45kg of filament. Our Taulman t-glase filaments are packaged in a sealed silica bag.
