The red 2.85mm t-glase Filament from taulman3D is a strong, industrial 3D printing filament that has a printable temperature range of 405 to 491°F, although its optimum temperature is 455 to 464°F, a tensile stress of 4480 psi, an ultimate elongation of 9.1%, and a modulus of 80,315 psi. It also features low shrinkage of 0.0031" and allows for the non-destructive evaluation of 3D prints. Furthermore, while it is not biodegradable like PLA, it is a reclaimable filament, so extruders that convert failed prints back to usable filament will work well with t-glase.
General Features
Temperature
Optimum temperature is about 455 to 464°F, but it will print from 405 to 491°F.
Environmental
While t-glase is not biodegradable like PLA, it is a material that's considered 100% reclaimable. Thus, extruders that convert failed prints back to usable filament work well with t-glase. If you have a compatible extruder, you can actually mix in 12% of the total weight with discarded clear water bottles.
Clarity
t-glase's clarity supports the industry's requirements for the non-destructive evaluation of 3D printed parts.
Shrinkage
Very low shrinkage helps make printing large flat surfaces more user-friendly.
Bridging
Those of us who have printed with acrylics and polycarbonates are always envious of their bridging capabilities due to their glass temperature. t-glase works well with bridging.
Fumes
There are no odors or fumes when 3D printing with t-glase.
