The KLM story
Reflow rPETG Recycled filament
Chemical name: Polyethylene Terephthalate – Glycol Modified
Source of plastic: The Netherlands
Description: Our flagship rPETG is sourced from leading local recyclers. Its durable and easy to use, with exceptional visual and mechanical performance.
Available colours: White ~ Black ~ Aqua ~ Mint ~ Honey ~ Coral
Diameter: 1.75 mm. °0.05mm / 2.85 mm. °0.07mm
Roundness: 98%
Net filament weight: 1 KG
Filament length: 357m / 137m
Print temperature: 230c – 245c
Platform Temperature: 60c-80c ~ rPETG requires bed temperatures of 60-80 C while printing. Bed adhesion is often good, and minor issues around adhesion can be easily remedied by coating the build surface with acrylic based glue-sticks or hairsprays.
Fan Speed: 50%-100% – This is model size and geometry dependant.

PET-G
Overview
A versatile middle ground between PLA and ABS.
PET-G Is stronger than PLA but easier to print with than ABS. The glycol in this material makes the filament less brittle and resistant to water, chemicals, and solvents. It is naturally clear, making it the go-to filament for translucent prints.
The strength and durability of a PET-G filament vary depending on the brand. An easy way to check if one PET-G is stronger than another is by comparing the tensile strength value of each filament. If printed in a sterile, FDA-approved environment, PET-G can be used to create food-safe prints.
Due to its strong and durable nature, PET-G can be difficult to finish with post-processing methods such as sanding. Prints may also be difficult to paint or glue together. Depending on printer and slicer settings, you may experience small hairs over the surface of prints caused by stringing. These can be removed with a heat gun or lighter.
Used for: Water Bottles, Plant Pots.

Scott Pett –
Nice Idea, but no Cigar
As my usual Black PETG was out of stock, I decided to try this one,. However it behaves more like an ABS filament that PETG. Even on my well set up enclosed Prusa i3 clone, layer adhesion is poor, even with the part fan disabled. It strings, quite badly at higher temperatures and lowering the print temperature to cure the stringing will cause delamination. The print instructions are aimed more at a bowden printer so be careful with the suggested retraction settings – anything more than 2mm will cause nozzle clogs – I haven’t had one of these in years until trying this filament. I suspect the Reflow would be useful for small items with 0.15 to 0.2mm layer height, but I’ll stick to Planet destroying non-recycled PETG for anything large and/or important. More comprehensive published print directions would be useful.
