Filament Comparison Guide
STANDARD PRINT CO. reference values. Source methods and conditions differ, so compare like-for-like tests and check suitability for your part.
Our filament is ready to print from an intact, sealed bag; no initial drying is needed. Reseal with maintained desiccant between prints. Recovery drying applies after exposure when needed.
PHA’s supplied source lists fracture strength, Izod impact and water content, shown in separate rows. It does not provide comparable yield, Charpy XY/Z or absorption figures.
Select up to 4 filaments to compare — when none are selected, all are shown.

Source notes
- * rPLA tensile yield: The website records 53 MPa as yield strength; this measurement identity is unverified. The supplied 2022 YOUSU R-PLA sheet lists 53 MPa at break and 60 MPa at yield. It does not verify the website's yield field. Confirm the current grade and test result before using it for a strength-critical design.
- * rPETG XY impact: The website records 33 kJ/m2 as XY impact; this method and unit are unverified. The supplied 2022 YOUSU R-PETG sheet reports puncture energy of 33 J and separate notched Izod impact of 90 J/m. Neither verifies this XY field, and no conversion has been made. Confirm a comparable test before using it to rank impact performance.
