The Filament 3D PETG CF filament from Spectrum brings carbon fiber reinforcement to a reliable PETG baseline, delivering tougher, more rigid parts with excellent layer adhesion. In a bold blue 1.75 mm spool (1000 g) identified by TF-24109, this filament is designed for functional prototypes, mechanical components, and enclosures that demand both strength and precision without the printing headaches often associated with high-performance materials.
Why this PETG CF filament stands out
Carbon fiber reinforcement elevates PETG beyond standard prints. You’ll notice improved stiffness and impact resistance, making brackets, housings, and load-bearing parts perform better under stress. At the same time, it preserves PETG’s forgiving print experience—still easier to print than many high-strength plastics—so you can iterate quickly and reliably. The deep blue color remains consistent across prints, helping you color-match assemblies and maintain a cohesive aesthetic in multi-part builds.
-
Enhanced stiffness and durability for parts that endure bending, vibration, and mounting stresses.
-
Excellent dimensional stability to minimize warping and reduce post-processing time on larger or intricate prints.
-
Smooth, uniform surface finish with reliable color consistency that looks professional straight off the print bed.
-
Reliable Spectrum quality with controlled diameter and material composition for predictable extrusion and repeatable results.
-
Color-first aesthetics—a striking blue that stays true across prints and batches, helping you track design variants and maintain visual continuity.
Ideal use cases
This filament is a strong choice for engineers and makers who need functional parts that print cleanly while standing up to real-world use. Consider it for:
- Drone frames, camera mounts, and other lightweight, high-stiffness components
- Mechanical housings, gear covers, and motor mounts where rigidity matters
- Enclosures and brackets for electronics that require durable enclosure walls
- Jigs, fixtures, and custom tooling that benefit from reduced deformation under load
What to know before you print
As with any carbon-fiber reinforced filament, expect the path ahead to be a touch different from standard PETG. A hardened steel nozzle is recommended to manage the abrasive nature of carbon fibers. Print at a moderate pace to balance surface finish with strength, and be mindful of bed adhesion—use a reliable print surface and consider a brim for larger parts. PETG’s moisture sensitivity means proper storage: keep the spool dry and dry it again if it has absorbed humidity.

Practical printing tips
- Use a hardened steel nozzle to minimize wear and maintain consistent extrusion over time.
- Print at moderate speeds to achieve crisp feature definition and reliable layer adhesion.
- Optimize bed temperature and surface for adhesion, and consider an enclosure to minimize warping on larger parts.

Supplier-Specific Shipping Terms
Some products ship directly from our supplier or manufacturer partners and may be subject to supplier-specific shipping rates, handling fees, delivery timelines, minimum order thresholds, or freight requirements. These supplier-specific terms may differ from Hobby Tech Supply’s standard shipping policy and may override general free-shipping offers where applicable.
When a product is subject to supplier-specific shipping terms, the applicable shipping rate or threshold will be based on the supplier’s current fulfillment requirements.
Phrozen Products
Phrozen products ship directly from the supplier. Phrozen orders under $333.34 are subject to a $60 supplier-direct shipping charge. Phrozen orders of $333.34 or more may qualify for free supplier-direct shipping unless otherwise stated.
Hazardous Materials (HAZMAT) Products
Certain products are classified as hazardous materials (HAZMAT) for transport and require special handling, packaging, and ground-only shipping. A $54.95 HAZMAT shipping and handling charge applies to these items. This charge applies in addition to, and is not waived by, our free shipping offer or any other shipping promotion. HAZMAT items currently include Sunstone Permanent Jewelry argon tanks (compressed gas cylinders). HAZMAT items ship by ground only and cannot be shipped by air or expedited service. The applicable charge is displayed at checkout.
