Step-by-Step Math: How We Calculate PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol) Length

Exact formulas and linear density substitutions for PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol) (1.27 g/cm³) on a Polymaker (Panchroma Cardboard) spool.

Step 1: Subtract Empty Spool Tare Weight1000.0g net filament
Formula: W_net = W_total - W_tare
Calculation: 1140g - 140g = 1000.0g net filament

Deducting the verified 140g empty tare weight of the Polymaker (Panchroma Cardboard) (Cardboard) spool leaves the exact net plastic mass.

Step 2: Calculate 1.75mm Cross-Sectional Area0.024053 cm²
Formula: A = π × (d / 20)²
Calculation: 3.14159 × (0.0875)² = 0.024053 cm²

Volumetric cross-sectional area in square centimeters for 1.75mm filament.

Step 3: Calculate Printable Length in Meters & Feet327.4m (1074.1ft)
Formula: L = W_net / (ρ × A × 100)
Calculation: 1000g / (1.27 g/cm³ × 0.024053 cm² × 100) = 327.4m (1074.1ft)

Dividing net mass by the linear density of PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol) (1.27 g/cm³) yields the printable length.

Factory-tested parameters, common failure modes, and workbench best practices.

Maker Pro Tips
  • Use glue stick on smooth PEI to prevent PETG from tearing bed coating.
  • Drying at 65°C eliminates stringing.
  • The empty Polymaker (Panchroma Cardboard) spool weighs 140g (Cardboard). Flange outer diameter is 200mm with a 55mm hub bore.
Most Critical Mistake to Avoid

Running 100% part cooling fan which drastically weakens PETG layer adhesion.

Frequently Asked Questions: PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol) on Polymaker (Panchroma Cardboard)

Spool tare weight, density, moisture absorption, and kitchen scale tips.

Q1How much does an empty Polymaker (Panchroma Cardboard) spool weigh?
An empty Polymaker (Panchroma Cardboard) spool has a factory tare weight of 140 grams (Cardboard construction). Subtract this tare weight from your scale reading to get the exact net filament weight remaining.
Q2How many meters of filament are in a 1kg spool of PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol)?
A full 1,000 gram spool of standard 1.75mm PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol) (density 1.27 g/cm³) contains approximately 327.4 meters (1074.1 feet) of printable filament.
Q3Is the Polymaker (Panchroma Cardboard) spool compatible with the Bambu AMS?
Polymaker (Panchroma Cardboard) spools have a flange diameter of 200mm and width of 60mm. Because it is cardboard, we recommend snapping a 3D-printed plastic rim or electrical tape around the edges to prevent roller dust inside the AMS.
