Transition "Mystery" Color PCTG Prime

Transition Mystery Color PCTG Prime Filament

Our transition color PCTG Prime filament is the same high quality PCTG Prime filament that our customers trust but in "mystery colors." These varying colors are the result of our changeovers from one of our standard color to another during production of our filament and cannot be reproduced. While supplies last. Items are not returnable or refundable due to color.

Note: These are not a rainbow filament. The color change in each spool will vary and be very gradual.

*This product is limited to availability as we make changeovers. If you cannot add it to your cart, we are sorry, but we are out of stock.

COEX PCTG Prime print settings

Print PCTG Prime with a 250–280°C nozzle, a 75–90°C bed and the fan at 20–50%, and dry it at 65°C for 4–6 hours. An enclosure is recommended.

These are COEX 3D's recommended starting settings, made to match the COEX 3D filament settings tables for every filament we make in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Treat each value as a starting point and adjust it for your printer.

1. Material notes

Keep filament dry: store it sealed, and dry it again only after the spool has been exposed to air
Dry an opened spool at 65°C for 4–6 hours
An enclosure is recommended
Use a Z-offset slightly higher than for PLA (+0.05mm)
Enable "Avoid crossing perimeters" to reduce stringing
Consider using the "Wipe while retract" option
Enable "Slow down for small perimeters"
Print outer walls slower for better quality
Use a minimum layer time of 30 seconds for small parts
Increase cooling gradually after the first layer
Consider using "Extra Prime Amount" after retraction

2. Temperature settings

Nozzle temperature: 250–280°C

Bed temperature: 75–90°C

Wash the bed often for good adhesion: use dish soap and rinse thoroughly to remove oils
Bed adhesion: use a glue stick or hairspray as a release agent, or WELD3D. PETG and PCTG bond very strongly to glass and smooth PEI, so a release agent protects both the print and the plate
Use a brim for tall or large prints
Keep the ambient temperature stable

3. Basic parameters

COEX PCTG Prime basic parameters by nozzle size
Nozzle	Layer height	Line width	Max volumetric speed	Nozzle temperature
0.4mm	0.2mm	0.42mm	14.0 mm³/s	250°C
0.6mm	0.3mm	0.62mm	31.5 mm³/s	250°C
0.8mm	0.4mm	0.82mm	56.0 mm³/s	250°C
1.0mm	0.5mm	1.02mm	87.5 mm³/s	265°C

1.0mm nozzle (max volumetric speed 87.5 mm³/s)

COEX PCTG Prime speeds for a 1.0mm nozzle
Line type	Percentage	Speed
External perimeter	50%	85.78 mm/s
Internal perimeters	75%	128.68 mm/s
Infill	100%	171.57 mm/s
Top/bottom	60%	102.94 mm/s
First layer	30%	51.47 mm/s

5. Retraction settings

Important: Set travel speed to the maximum your machine allows (200–500mm/s). Faster moves give the filament less time to ooze, which reduces stringing.

COEX PCTG Prime retraction by nozzle size
Nozzle	Distance	Speed	Z-hop
0.4mm	1.0–1.5mm	40mm/s	0.2mm
0.6mm	1.0–1.5mm	40mm/s	0.2mm
0.8mm	1.0–1.5mm	40mm/s	0.2mm
1.0mm	1.0–1.5mm	40mm/s	0.2mm

6. Cooling settings

Fan speed settings:

First layer: 0% (fan off)
General printing: 40% fan speed
Bridges and overhangs: 50% fan speed
Layers under 30 seconds: 50% fan speed

Advanced settings:

Keep fan always on: yes
Force fan speed for overhangs: yes
Minimum layer time: 30 seconds
Force fan speed for small perimeters: yes

Additional cooling notes:

Increase fan speed gradually after the first layer
Increase fan speed for small, detailed parts
Reduce fan speed for better layer adhesion if needed
Watch overhang and bridge quality and adjust fan speed to suit

7. Troubleshooting

COEX PCTG Prime troubleshooting
Problem	Solution
Irregular extrusion	Dry the filament Check the extruder Reduce speed
Poor adhesion	Dry the filament Use an adhesive Adjust the first layer
Stringing	Dry the filament Adjust retraction Increase travel speed Check temperature

Please note: These printing parameters are initial recommendations based on our experience. They may need adjustment for your specific 3D printer, environmental conditions and the geometry of the part you are printing. Use them as a starting point and fine-tune them for your needs.
