Description
PCTG, also known as Poly Cyclohexylenedimethylene Terephthalate Glycol, is extremely similar to PETG and offers increased strength, low shrinkage, and better clarity. It is widely recognized as a transparent material with outstanding chemical resistance delivering a larger range of printing temperatures and increased durability. Please note that for the best 3D printing practices you should consider following the instructions below.
