What is t-glase?

FDA approved – Clear t-glase is specifically made of FDA approved polymers for direct food contact/containers. This includes cups and other liquid storage parts as well as utensils. Environmental – While t-glase is not biodegradable like PLA, it is a material that’s considered 100% reclaimable.

How do you print T-Glase?

3D PRINTING WITH T-GLASE: TIPS AND TRICKS

1. Place a Build Plate Tape before starting your print on the bed to prevent. your part from warping.
2. Set your hot end temperature to 240 °C when 3D printing with this filament.
3. We recommend setting your bed temperature at 80 °C.
4. T-Glase is very impressive at bridging.

What is PETG good for?

PETG is the perfect filament to combine strength and ductility, which is why it’s used in so many mechanical parts and robotics. It has great chemical resistance with good water, acidic and alkalic resistance. PETG is also makes a great material for artistic prints like bracelet, rings, collars etc..

What is taulman?

PCTPE stands for “Plasticized Copolyamide TPE” or a chemical co-polymer of highly flexible nylon and TPE. This combination of polymers was developed specifically to allow anyone using current FFF 3d printers to print parts ranging from durable prosthetics to unique tools.

What do you need to know about T-Glase?

FDA approved – t-glase is specifical ly made of FDA approved polymers for direct food contact/containers. This includes cups and other liquid storage parts as well as utensils. We are working with the chemical company to provide you with FDA related documentation so you may sell your printed parts that meet FDA requirements .

What should the transition temperature of T-Glase be?

While t-glase meets this requirement, it results in a low glass transition temperature. The effects of a low TG is that parts printed in t-glase, should not be exposed to high temperature use or applications. The measured TG of t-glase is 78C.

How big are test bars in T-Glase?

The process involves printing several “test bars” These are bars printed at 5″ x .5″ x .25″. The setup for printing these is 1 peri meter and 100% solid layers. NOTE: A feature of t-glase was to select a polymer that easily sticks to heated acrylic and glass print tables for the smoothest bottom surface possible.

What kind of polymers is T-Glase made of?

FDA approved – t-glase is specifical ly made of FDA approved polymers for direct food contact/containers. This includes cups and other liquid storage parts as well as utensils.
