PolyMax™ is a family of advanced 3D printing filaments produced with Polymaker’s Nano-reinforcement technology, to deliver exceptional mechanical properties and printing quality. PolyMax™ PETG is an impact-modified PETG offering better mechanical properties than any other regular PETG and making it a good candidate for a wide range of applications.

While PolyMax™ PETG is still defined as a PETG material, the enhancement in toughness offers similar if not better impact resistance than some PCTG filaments while still maintaining the good strength and stiffness that PETG offers.

Features

• Superior Toughness - PolyMax™ PETG is an engineered PETG filament which features superior fracture toughness when compared to regular PETG and even some ABS filaments! This is achieved through the implementation of Polymakers Nano-reinforcement technology which dramatically improves impact resistance and fracture toughness of the material without compromising printing quality.
• Heat Resistant – PolyMax™ PETG features a heat resistance up to 80°C and heat deflection temperature of 75.7°C (0.45 MPa); suitable for a wide range of practical applications.
• Ease of Post-Processing - PolyMax™ PETG offers improved post processing capabilities when compared to PolyMax™ PLA and regular PLA. Easily sand your print to remove layer-lines and achieve a beautiful smooth surface.
• Easy-to-print - The great mechanical performance of PolyMax™ PETG is achieved with no compromise in printing quality. PolyMax™ PETG prints easily on a wide range of machines with minimal printing requirements and excellent dimensional stability.
• Uncompromised Quality - Polymakers leading quality control process and rigorous in-house testing, ensure reliable printing and consistency across spools and batches.

Printing Settings

• Nozzle Temperature: 230°C - 240°C
• Build Plate Temperature: 70°C - 80°C
• Build Surface Material:
  • Works well with most build surfaces i.e Glass, BuildTak® etc
  • Rigid build plates recommended compared to magnetic flex plates.
• Build Surface Treatment: Apply Magigoo Original or PVA glue to the build surface to improve adhesion.
• Cooling Fan:
  • LOW for better surface quality
  • OFF for better strength
• Printing Speed: 30 mm/s - 50 mm/s
• Retraction: The ideal retraction settings vary from printer to printer and depend on the hot end. The following settings have been a good starting point for many machines.
  
  • Direct Drive: Retraction distance of 1mm with retraction speed of 20mm/s
  • Bowden: Retraction distance of 3mm with retraction speed of 40mm/s
• Enclosure: Recommended for moderately sized models or cold / unstable printing environments.
• Recommended Support Material:    
  
  • Single Extrusion: Self-support.
  • Dual Extrusion: PolyDissolve™ S1 (PVA) can sometimes support some models depending on its geometry.

The above are printing recommendations based on 0.4 mm nozzle. Please note ideal printing conditions may vary depending on your 3D printer setup. For high speed 3D printers, make sure to increase your extrusion temperature in order to use higher printing speeds.

Specifications

• Net Weight: 750g
• Material Type: PETG
• Density: 1.25 (g/cm3 at 21.5˚C) 

Compatibility

PolyMax™ PETG has been engineered with compatibility in mind to print excellently on a wide range of 3D printers equipped with a heated bed. PolyMax™ PETG like other materials is hygroscopic. This means that it is susceptible to absorbing moisture from the atmosphere which can subsequently affect the quality and mechanical properties of the final prints. See "Storage and Drying" details below for instructions to protect PolyMax™ PETG.

Of course with thousands of unique 3d printer models on the market, we can't guarantee each filament type will work with every 3D printer. Slicer experience and setting adjustment is always required to get the most out of a material. Before jumping into an ambitious project we always recommend printing some known calibration tests to build or make adjustments to the filament profile.
