The material is great, it would have been helpful to have a datasheet available for download.

PETG filament

I have been printing for a while now and yes i'm still learning. I wanted to try PETG filament but didn't want to buy a full spool until I had tested it on my printer. I got in touch and Altec3D who kindly said they would send me some samples to try. Hopefully this filament will be fine, If so, I will then order a full spool. If the results are good, I may end up changing from my usual Sunlu filament to this one and get some PLA as well.

Great Filament, Top Notch Service

Good quality PLA filament that is strong, doesn't snag or break, and has excellent surface finish properties. Price is extremely reasonable and next day shipping is free over £30, which is less than the cost of two 1kg spools. Also, if you are a UK resident concerned about your carbon footprint Altec make perfect sense as they too are UK based. After trying several different suppliers Altec are now my preferred option - there has been absolutely nothing to fault.

Excellent product and service

Excellent product and service.
Having just recently started my journey into 3D printing, it was so reassuring to find a company who’s product and service excelled. This was my second order and the staff were very quick in answering a query I had. Will certainly be using them in the future and have already recommended them to friends.

Quick and consistent

Very quick shipment, great and consistent filament, great prices. The only trouble I had is a pretty high delivery price if I order just one roll, but it's still cheaper than many other places.

Amazing

Altec have been my go to for printing material, the PLA they supply is perfect and does exactly what its supposed to do. The team at altec are always very helpful when it comes to solving problems and giving information on their products, I will continue to use the company for all my printing needs!

My only constructive feedback would be that when a package arrives I am always excited to pull out a reel of filiment and break the vacuum sealed bag with a small cut with a blade, my last parcel only had one fully sealed but this takes nothing away from the products they supply or the dedication they give to their customers.

AWESOME COMPANY.

Quality, low cost, trusted filament

Ordered PLA filament of various colours. Very happy with the service, free shipping over £30 and very well priced filament, being manufactured in the UK I feel they can be trusted on quality and tolerances. All pieces I have tested so far have been well within tolerance and resulted in very nice consistently good prints using generic PLA settings. Would love to see some more colours as this is likely to be the first place I go for filament.

Really pleased with PLA prints.

Really pleased with the 2 rolls of PLA, printing beautifully with the standard Prusa Mk3s settings. Haven't tried the PETG yet. The 3 rolls delivered quickly, free of charge. The price was competitive and it's good to see it's from a UK manufacturer rather than shipped halfway round the world.

Consistency is the key

I'm new to the 3D Printing game, however, I've used a few branded filaments so far. This is so far the best I've used for consistency, bed adhesion, and extrusion evenness. It's quite forgiving for the novice. The only minor gripe I have is how it's loaded onto the roll, it snags quite easily as it unwinds, but that might be me!
