When you’ve just begun experimenting with more advanced 3D filaments, it’s easy to think that absolutely anything can be printed. But the truth is that prints are often limited by the polymers and materials of the filaments being used. We always get so excited when a new type of filament is brought into the market, especially a locally supplied filament! These spools of SA Filament Pro CPE-HT take the classic PETG formula and enhance it with an extra monomer to create a truly awesome blend. Offering all the great benefits of standard PETG, CPE also enhances pretty much every aspect, bringing together toughness, durability, flexural strength and chemical resistance – while looking damn good at the same time!
These 1kg spools of Black SA Filament Pro CPE-HT Filament’s standout feature is high temperature deflection, allowing your prints to survive in punishing environments. CPE-HT has a melting point of 240°C and features UV resistance too. The extra strength makes this filament a stella option for outdoor Maker projects. The styrene-free blend is made with convenience in mind, offering low-shrinkage for an easier print, although we’d warn that a high-temperature hotend is required to print this advanced polymer. SA Filament also boasts an environmentally friendly blend for their CPE-HT Filament.
The SA Filament range are extruded and spooled right here in South Africa, making them a great option if you want to support locally made. SA Filament has created an affordable and decent alternative to many of the other PETG filament options we stock. The SA Filament PETG range is ideal for 3D printing models such as handles, covers, mounting brackets and corner brackets that may be subject to unexpected moments of force, bends and other lightweight abuse.

3D printing with the durable and slightly flexible modified PETG polymer is quite a unique experience, as it offers very similar characteristics to ABS, but uses very similar printing specifications to PLA. This is why many 3D Makers argue that PETG is the perfect balance between ABS and PLA polymers, offering high strength but also being relatively easy to print with compared to some of the filaments and polymers with stricter parameters.
However, if you really want to get the most out of your CPE-HT prints, and enjoy both durable and aesthetically awesome-looking results, we’ve collected following insights, which, despite being ideal for standard PETG, we feel are some of the most important factors, and which we feel are the most important factors to experiment with when “dialling in” your 3D printer:
Although this section of 3D printing tips is longer than usual, we feel that these are all equally important for 3D Makers who really want to get maximum strength or detail quality from this fantastic polymer. However, this list isn’t at all exhaustive, and we encourage you to go out and find even more great insights, and be brave in your experimentation. You may even reveal a completely new secret that nobody knew about, and because 3D printing is still a relatively new hobby for most people, your findings could certainly earn you some internet points if shared with the right communities.
If you’re still eager to learn more about the intricacies of 3D printing with PETG, we’ve taken the time to collect together some of our favourite resources, guides, tutorials and discussions, and we feel that each of these offer some unique insights that can help you achieve great success with this slightly tricky but very awesome 3D filament. Just remember, however, that each of the following resources will have their own unique take on printing PETG and may have used different brands or colours in their tests. As such, they may understandably differ from our tips, which we created using eSun PETG filament, but can still offer great assistance if you’re running into troubles, or are just looking for further information over and above what we’ve provided. As such, we hope that you enjoy these as much as we do, and can gather some good tips to help you get your 3D printer dialled in and printing strong, beautiful or otherwise impressive PETG prints:

As Makers, we often can't help but try to fix the problems we see, whether it be at home, in our local environments, or pretty much anywhere else that we can reach, and this is essentially what has driven the SA Filament team to bring locally produced filaments to the South African Market. After experiencing one of the roughest and most challenging years that South Africans have faced in recent times, the team at SA Filament started seeing a severe shortage of filaments throughout the country, and although many local 3D Makers wanted to get involved in assisting with 3D Printed face masks and other PPE, there simply wasn't enough filament to go around for everyone. So, with a relatively simple idea driven by a passion for the SA 3D Maker community, the SA Filament team decided to take on the challenge and open up a manufacturing plant to begin extruding filaments locally - so that supplies could be not only available to as many South Africans as possible, but also as affordable as possible for everyone who wants to get involved in 3D Printing.
As 3D Makers who are passionate about not only their SA community's wellbeing, but also for ensuring that all SA 3D Makers have open access to affordable yet good quality filament, SA Filament have been true Makers in the fact that they saw a problem, created a solution, and followed through until the task was completed. We look forward to working with them to help boost the local 3D Filament industry, and we're excited to see just how big they can grow as they utilise their strong passion to drive the brand forward and deliver a Local, Lekker Filament for all SA Makers.
