Description
PioCreat G5 Ultra
Prints straight from 2–5 mm plastic pellets with a 420 °C screw extruder: 500 × 500 × 400 mm build volume, up to 0.8 kg/h output and 64-point laser levelling.
A pellet 3D printer (FGF, fused granular fabrication) melts plastic granules in a heated screw extruder instead of pushing filament through a hot end. Pellets cost far less per kilo than filament and a screw delivers much higher flow, which makes large parts, moulds and recycled-plastic printing practical.
The PioCreat G5 Ultra is PioCreat's desktop-footprint FGF machine. It feeds 2–5 mm pellets from a 3-litre hopper into a proprietary screw nozzle with segmented heating (upper zone up to 360 °C, lower zone up to 420 °C) and prints a 100-litre volume. PioCreat (Shenzhen PioCreat 3D Technology Co., Ltd., Shenzhen, China; founded 2015; a wholly-owned subsidiary of Creality) designs and manufactures the G5 Ultra. Eolas Prints, in Reocín, Cantabria (Spain), supplies the machine and the pellets it prints from one place: PLA, PETG, ABS and TPU pellets in the same grades Eolas uses to manufacture its own filament, plus recycled rPET pellets.
What makes the G5 Ultra different
Screw extrusion, not filament
A proprietary screw nozzle melts and pushes pellets directly. Segmented heating keeps the feed zone cooler (up to 360 °C) and the melt zone hot (up to 420 °C) for stable flow.
Up to 0.8 kg/h
PioCreat rates the extruder at up to 0.8 kg of plastic per hour with a maximum print speed of 220 mm/s, so large parts take hours rather than days.
100-litre build volume
500 × 500 × 400 mm on a heated bed up to 120 °C. The flexible build plate bends to release finished parts.
64-point laser levelling
A non-contact laser sensor maps the bed at 64 points, cutting set-up time and keeping the first layer even across the whole plate.
Run-out and power-loss recovery
The printer pauses when pellets run out and resumes after reloading or a power cut. A sight window shows the pellet level, and a quick-discharge system empties the barrel for material changes.
Recycled and blended material
PioCreat designs the G5 Ultra for recycled pellets, flakes and regrind, and for blending pellets with colour masterbatch.

Materials and Eolas pellets
PioCreat lists PLA, PC, ABS, PETG, PETG-GF, PP, TPU, PA-CF, ABS-CF and PC-CF and other composites for the G5 Ultra, as 2–5 mm pellets at nozzle temperatures up to 420 °C. Recycled pellets, flakes and regrind are supported too.
Eolas Prints supplies PLA, PETG, ABS and TPU pellets, the same grades it uses to manufacture its own filament, plus recycled rPET pellets, all in 1 kg bags and all within PioCreat's 2–5 mm pellet range:
| Eolas pellets | Pellet size (Eolas spec) | Price per kg | Status on this printer |
|---|---|---|---|
| PLA pellets | 3.1–3.6 mm | €10.99 | Material listed by PioCreat |
| PETG pellets | 2–3.5 mm | €18.90 | Material listed by PioCreat |
| ABS pellets | 2.8–3.2 mm | €10.99 | Material listed by PioCreat |
| TPU pellets (93A) | 2.7–3.2 mm | €18.90 | Material listed by PioCreat |
| rPET pellets (recycled) | 2–3.5 mm | €15.99 | PET not named by PioCreat: PETG-class, test first |
PLA, PETG, ABS and TPU pellets are virgin material; rPET pellets are recycled from post-consumer PET bottles. Moisture-sensitive materials such as PETG, TPU and PET print best dried. Browse all Eolas pellets.
Pellets vs filament: cost per kg
Pellets skip the filament extrusion and spooling step, so the same polymer costs much less per kilo. Using Eolas Prints' own prices:
| Material | Eolas filament | Eolas pellets | Pellets cost less by |
|---|---|---|---|
| PLA | €19.90/kg | €10.99/kg | 45% |
| ABS | €22.11/kg (€19.90 per 900 g) | €10.99/kg | 50% |
| TPU 93A | €39.99/kg | €18.90/kg | 53% |
| PETG | €25.50/kg | €18.90/kg | 26% |
| rPET (recycled) | – | €15.99/kg | 15% below virgin PETG pellets |
Example: printing 100 kg of PLA a month from pellets instead of filament saves about €891 a month in material, which matches the G5 Ultra's price in about 5.6 months. Treat this as an illustration: it ignores purging, drying and failed prints.

Questions about the PioCreat G5 Ultra
What is the build volume of the PioCreat G5 Ultra?
500 × 500 × 400 mm, which is 100 litres. That is enough for large single parts or a batch of smaller parts in one job.
How fast can the G5 Ultra print?
PioCreat rates it at up to 0.8 kg/h of extruded plastic and a maximum print speed of 220 mm/s. Real throughput depends on the material, nozzle size and layer height.
Which materials can the G5 Ultra print?
PioCreat lists PLA, PC, ABS, PETG, PETG-GF, PP, TPU, PA-CF, ABS-CF, PC-CF and other composite pellets of 2–5 mm, plus recycled pellets, flakes and regrind. You can also blend pellets with colour masterbatch.
What nozzle sizes come with the G5 Ultra?
The manual lists a 0.4–2.0 mm nozzle range, with 3.0 mm as an option. The printer ships with 0.8, 1.0 and 2.0 mm nozzles.
Does the G5 Ultra need an enclosure or a dryer for pellets?
The G5 Ultra is an open-frame machine, and PioCreat does not list an enclosure or a built-in dryer. PLA prints well in the open; for ABS and large parts a draught-free room helps. Dry moisture-sensitive materials such as PETG, TPU, PA and PC before they go into the hopper.
Buying from Eolas Prints
