FormFutura - AthenaX Traffic White High Temp PCTG 1.75mm - 1kg

AthenaX is our engineering grade PCTG with the same X-factor as ApolloX and TitanX. This means plug and play 3D printing. Athena’s X-factor ensures low shrinkage plus increased bed- and layer adhesion.

This PCTG filament 3D prints as easy as PETG. But, with a superior clarity and impact resistance. Its impact resistance is comparable to Tough PLA. AthenaX enables you to 3D print parts with high dimensional accuracy.

Precise parts that are durable, tough, and have a good resistance to chemicals. AthenaX is a water-resistant polymer, which makes it a very versatile material.

It is suitable for (food) packaging, electronic housings and even biomedical applications.

PCTG is moderately hygroscopic, and therefore it is recommended to pre-dry the filament at 75°C for approximately 24 hours before usage for optimal results. You will get the most out of the material properties with pre-dried filaments.

For optimal print results we recommend to print AthenaX filament from a drying box to avoid that the material can accumulate humidity from the environment.

Storage and handlingFilament should be stored at room temperature in a dry and dark place with humidity below 15%. Recommended storage temperature is ca. 18-25°C (64.4 -77.0°F). Keep out of moisture, sunlight and direct heat.

When stored properly, product has a shelf life of 24 months. To obtain the best parameters of the printed object, it is recommended to dry the material prior to usage and to 3D print it directly from a dry box.
