Enjoy RFID communication with your U1 printer with PETG HF RFID Filament from SnapMaker. Featuring enhanced resistance to heat, water, and chemicals compared to SnapMaker's Regular PETG and PLA filaments, PETG HF is ideal for models and creations that need to keep their shape and withstand the elements on display or in use. The RFID tag communicates wirelessly via radio waves when it comes into close proximity with a compatible reader, saving you time and helping to prevent errors when scanning or entering information about the printing material into your printer. This filament works as well with non-RFI-enabled machines, providing you with smooth, durable results. The filament features strong layer adhesion, even at high-speed printing up to 300mm per second. PETG HF is made from 100% renewable plant-based resources and packaged with fully biodegradable cardboard spools, offering a safer choice for both users and the environment.
- RFID functionality is exclusively supported on the U1
- Other printer models can use RFID-enabled filaments, but the RFID features will not be available
- High-speed printing up to 300mm/s
- Superior toughness and structural strength for functional parts
- Enhanced resistance to heat and moisture
- Durable performance in both indoor and outdoor settings
- Recyclable, eco-safe, and high-performing
- Snapmaker U1
- Widely compatible with most FDM printers
- Pre-Dry: This filament is pre-dried and vacuum-sealed for immediate use upon opening. However, PETG is sensitive to moisture; if left exposed for a long time, dry it at 149°F for 6 hours before printing to ensure the best results.
- Re-Dry: If the filament has been left out for a while, always re-dry it before use.
- Storage: Once unboxed, it is best to keep the filament in a sealed container with desiccant.
- Moisture Control:
- Due to its high hygroscopicity, ScanMaker recommends printing PETG directly from a sealed container with desiccant to ensure optimal quality.
- If exposed to air for a long time, print quality may significantly degrade.
- If you hear popping or crackling sounds during extrusion, the filament must be dried.
- If a Sealed container with desiccant is unavailable:
- Consider shortening the print time by reducing the overall model size, lowering the infill density, or increasing the layer height to minimize moisture exposure.
- Cooling & Adhesion:
- Print with the cooling fan turned off or at a very low speed.
- Rapid cooling can significantly weaken layer adhesion in PETG.
- If you still encounter adhesion issues while the fan is off, try increasing the printing temperature.
- Flow Rate: For optimal performance, we recommend a maximum volumetric speed of 15 mm³/s.
