3D-Fuel Pro PCTG in Toolbox Lime 1.75mm blends PETG-like printability with significantly enhanced toughness and chemical resistance. It’s designed for practical, high-impact parts while delivering clearer optics than PETG. With a relatively low moisture absorption rate, you can print easily without an enclosure and still achieve strong, durable results.
- Up to 30x tougher than PETG, delivering exceptional impact resistance for enclosures, tool housings, and wear-prone components.
- 20–50% more impact resistant than PETG, thanks to PCTG’s cyclohexane dimethanol (CHDM) structure that provides greater flexibility and energy absorption during impact.
- Better inter-layer adhesion, reducing weak points where stress could cause failure and improving durability in real‑world use.
- Greater clarity than PETG, helping you print functional parts that also benefit from improved visual appeal.
- Lower moisture absorption, making Pro PCTG easier to print with consistent results and less warping compared to some PETG formulations.
- Prints without an enclosure—ideal for multi-color setups like the Bambu Lab AMS, and the Toolbox Lime color provides high visibility for assembled components.
- Print profiles for Pro PCTG on the Bambu Lab printers are available here.
- AMS compatibility note: since October 2023, our spool lineup includes AMS‑compliant options; if you receive an older spool type, you may need to leave the lid open a few millimeters to maintain optimal printing performance.
- Pro PCTG is 20–50% more impact resistant than PETG, with real-world benefits in drop resistance, repeated stress, and durability in challenging environments.

Chemical resistance at a glance
- Alcohols (IPA, ethanol, methanol): Resists prolonged exposure without degrading or cracking.
- Hydrocarbons (hexane, heptane, gasoline, mineral spirits): Better resistance to hydrocarbon-based solvents.
- Acids (acetic acid, citric acid, phosphoric acid): Maintains structural integrity in mild to moderately concentrated acids.
- Bases (alkalis): Better resistance to strong alkalis, though very strong bases may still cause issues.
- Cleaning agents (bleach, industrial degreasers, detergents): Withstands harsh cleaners without discoloration or damage.
- Oils and lubricants (engine oils, hydraulic fluids, cutting oils): Resists degradation from prolonged exposure to oils.
- Ketones (acetone, MEK): Performs slightly better in low-concentration ketones; higher concentrations may soften more readily.
Ideal use cases
- Protective housings for electronics or tools that endure impacts and rough handling.
- Drone parts, propeller guards, and other components requiring toughness without added weight.
- Flexible clips, snap-fits, and living hinges that tolerate repeated bending or sudden forces.
- Impact-resistant containers or enclosures that resist common chemicals in real-world environments.
