Description
The ForgeFeed.
The most expensive material in any print is not the filament. It is the failed spool, the tangled coil, the warped base that consumes four hours and produces nothing. The ForgeFeed is engineered against that waste: a high-speed PETG filament with enhanced fluidity that melts fast, flows smoothly, and holds its geometry while modern printers push 30-600mm/s.
PETG was always the compromise that made sense: ABS toughness with PLA ease. Rapid PETG sharpens that bargain with low shrinkage, less warping, and better light transmittance, so functional parts come out dimensionally honest on the first attempt. The 1.75mm line is mechanically wound and manually inspected, which is why it feeds without tangles.
Run it on PEI, glass or fiberglass with a standard adhesive, and it behaves. Every 1 kg spool carries approximately 330-340 meters of material, every print carries the tolerance your project needs, and every failed-print statistic in your workshop quietly gets worse for the brands that cannot say the same.
Serious makers judge filament the way chefs judge produce: by consistency across the spool. The ForgeFeed holds a tight diameter tolerance from the first meter to the last, so extrusion rate stays predictable and overhangs stay clean at high speeds. Whether you are prototyping a bracket that must survive vibration or printing a production run of fifty identical parts, the material under your nozzle is the variable you should never have to think about.
This is not a spool of plastic. It is the difference between a print that fails and a part that holds.

Built for Real Work
The ForgeFeed suits every FDM workflow that values reliability: functional brackets and jigs that need impact resistance, enclosures and housings that must not warp, automotive and workshop parts, engineering prototypes, and high-volume production runs on high-speed printers where consistent flow matters more than speed ratings. Hobbyists get the same benefit in miniature: articulated models that snap without breaking, vase-mode prints with clean layer adhesion, and storage boxes that survive garage temperature swings. Because PETG bridges the toughness gap so well, it is often the only filament a maker needs on the shelf.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which printers is the ForgeFeed compatible with?
A: It fits most FDM 3D printers using 1.75mm filament, from entry-level machines to high-speed printers running 30-600mm/s.
Q: What temperatures should I use?
A: Print at 230-260°C (240°C recommended) with a 75-90°C heated bed on PEI, glass or fiberglass board with adhesive.
Q: Is PETG stronger than PLA?
A: Yes. PETG combines ABS-like toughness and impact resistance with PLA-style ease of printing, making it ideal for functional parts.
Q: Will it warp like ABS?
A: Much less. Rapid PETG has low shrinkage and excellent adhesion, so large flat prints stay flat without an enclosure.
Q: How long is the filament on a spool?
A: Each 1 kg spool holds approximately 330-340 meters of 1.75mm filament.
Q: Does it tangle?
A: No. The spool is fully mechanically wound and manually inspected, so the filament feeds smoothly without knots.
Q: Can I store it outside a dry box?
A: PETG absorbs less moisture than nylon but benefits from dry storage. Keep the spool in a sealed bag with desiccant between prints for best results.
Q: Is it food-safe?
A: PETG is commonly used for food-contact containers, but print quality, layer lines and additives affect safety. Use food-safe finishes if you plan to hold food.
Q: What layer heights does it support?
A: It prints cleanly from 0.08mm fine layers up to 0.32mm structural layers, holding dimensional accuracy across the range.
Q: Does it work with a direct-drive extruder?
A: Yes. Rapid PETG feeds smoothly through direct-drive and Bowden setups alike, and its fluid melt means the extruder never has to fight the filament.
Q: Can I mix colors mid-print?
A: Yes. The color changes cleanly at layer boundaries, and the consistent diameter means you can swap spools without recalibrating flow.
