Tectonic 3D PET-CF print temperature and settings
The settings Tectonic 3D publishes for its PET-CF: 220–250 °C at the nozzle and 70–90 °C on the bed. Start in the middle of the range, then adjust for your printer, speed and cooling.
Tectonic 3D's recommended nozzle range is right in line with the typical PET-CF across the 3 PET-CF lines we track (median 220–250°C).

Frequently asked questions
What temperature should I print Tectonic 3D PET-CF at?
Tectonic 3D lists 220–250°C at the nozzle and 70–90°C for the bed. Start mid-range, then go hotter for faster printing or better layer bonding and cooler if you see stringing.
How many meters are on a 1 kg spool of Tectonic 3D PET-CF?
About 301 m at 1.75 mm, from its published density of 1.38 g/cm³.
How many colors does Tectonic 3D PET-CF come in?
1 in the data we track, including KRATIR CF Black.
