R-PEEK 3D Printer Filament

This 3D4Makers PEEK filament is made in Netherlands using recycled PEEK.
Recycled PEEK is generally made by collecting PEEK powder from CNC machine shops, which is then extruded into 3d printing filament.
This means you get the exact same filament as normal PEEK, just being sourced sustainably because the powder that would have otherwise gone to waste has been reused to make filament.
And, its half the price.

PEEK handles continuous operating temperature of 260C & peak loading up to 320C.
It has a strength to weight ration higher than Aluminum.
And it has the resonance damping properties comparable to wood.
Considered to be the best 3d printing material presently available in filament form.

It is a natural beige peek product which will give you a base filament as close to natural peek machining block colour as possible.

PEEK is the best material for anything functional & mechanical, that needs to perform as closely to a metal like aluminum as possible while still being a plastic that is 3d printable.
So its the perfect choice for Gears, Screws, Cogs, even complex worm wheel assembly parts are fine. That includes Hinges & other loading applications.
It is also ideal for electronics enclosures where the enclosure needs to offer electrical & heat insulation, strength, flame retardance & element resistance including wet or organic aqueous conditions.

This makes it the ideal filament for medical applications like temporary implants, surgical guides, orthodontic reconstruction, maxillofacial surgery & many other use cases including aeronautical & aerospace.

For demanding applications where all else would fail, PEEK is the KING of 3D printer materials.

Strongest 3D Printing plastic available in 3d printing filament form.
Handle up to 250C continuous operating temperature with Short term temperature performance up to 300 deg C.

The most dense semi-crystalline polymer thats 3d printable, yet close enough to aluminium in many applications.

Chemically resistant to most corrosive substances & high resistance to aqueous conditions. Used extensively in Aerospace & Automotive applications where you need mechanical strength even at high temperature.
BioMedical material that can be used for the human body, dental implants, joint replacements, the list goes on.

PEEK also has low resonance properties that are comparable to natural fibers such as wood, which is helpful when it comes to vibration & damping control. This reduces screws & fasteners loosening under load out of a peek enclosure.

Since PEEK is expensive, we are offering small quantity rolls for our kiwi 3D makers who want to try this new cutting edge material.

This is 0.2 KG of R PEEK 3D Printing Filament.

We recommend that you 3d print peek on a 3d printer that is clearly peek capable.
Simply modifying the extruder heater on your machine to get to 400C will not be enough to print peek.

If you need consistent peek 3d printing without spending millions, please consider buying the Creatbot F430 PEEK capable 3d printer.

Myth Busters:
3D Printer makers whose machines can not possibly 3d print peek have decided to propagate scary rumours that PEEK emits Toxic industrial gases. This is FALSE.
Infact PEEK emits less nauseating odour than PolyCarbonate or ABS.
Of course, we recommend printing in a well ventilated area, install a exhaust system if necessary. But it is not an acutely poisonous substance when you do work with it.

Extrusion 3d printing process is still being researched in terms of long term safety, but PEEK & other advanced materials are not much different in comparison to common filaments in terms of safety & risks.
