ReFill PET-G Carbon

Spectrum ReFill filaments have been designed with your convenience in mind, but also with a strong focus on environmental care. Spectrum ReFill filaments are wound onto an eco-friendly cardboard core that is fully compatible with BambuLab reusable spools, eliminating the need for printing additional adapters. Additionally, ReFill filaments are environmentally friendly, reducing plastic waste and supporting sustainable development. If you don’t have a BambuLab reusable spool, you can easily download and print a simple spool model available on the Spectrum website. This allows you to enjoy Spectrum ReFill filament without worrying about compatibility with your printer, while also caring for the environment.

Spectrum PET-G Carbon filament is a modified PET-G material enriched with carbon fibers, significantly increasing its stiffness, hardness, and tensile strength while maintaining low shrinkage and excellent adhesion to build plates. The addition of 10% carbon fibers provides a matte finish to the prints, enhancing their aesthetics.

Tip: Due to the essential content of chopped carbon fire, it is recommended to use nozzles with diameters exceeding the standard value of 0.4mm. The presence of carbon fibre may also cause wear of standard nozzles; thus, it is recommended to use hardened steel or ruby nozzles for prolonged application of Spectrum Carbon PET-G.
