Prof. Lab PETG Trans. Green (transparent green) 1 kg

The professional PETG filament Prof. Lab Trans. Green in a transparent green shade is intended for reliable everyday printing of functional parts as well as design models. The material is based on commonly used PET (bottles), but is modified for 3D printing, so it prints easily while being very mechanically durable.

PETG material properties

• High toughness and impact resistance – under stress, parts tend to bend rather than crack.
• Good heat resistance – also suitable for parts exposed to higher temperatures or outdoor environments.
• Low shrinkage and warping – allows printing larger objects without edge curling.
• Excellent layer adhesion – strong and cohesive prints.
• Chemical resistance to water, common acids and a range of solvents.
• Non-toxic material – commonly used for packaging and technical applications.

Appearance and use of transparent green

The transparent green color gives the print an attractive translucent effect – light partially passes through the material and highlights the structure of the print.

Suitable applications:

• design and decorative objects (lights, LED covers, stands)
• functional prototypes and technical parts
• covers, holders, organizers, workshop jigs
• parts exposed to higher loads where better toughness than PLA is required

Recommended print settings

Specific values may vary depending on the printer and ambient conditions; the ranges below correspond to common high-quality PETG filaments.

• Nozzle temperature: approx. 230–250 °C
• Bed temperature: approx. 70–90 °C
• Fan: 0–40 % (lower flow for maximum strength, higher for better appearance)
• Print speed: approximately 30–60 mm/s

For best bed adhesion, the use of a textured PEI surface, glass with adhesive, or special PETG adhesion aids is recommended. With PETG, it is advisable to consider the possibility of stringing – this is reduced by tuning retraction settings and lowering the nozzle temperature.

Advantages of PETG compared to PLA and ABS

• compared to PLA: higher toughness, better heat resistance, more suitable for functional and stressed parts
• compared to ABS: easier printing without an enclosed chamber, less warping, lower odor and higher transparency

Packaging

The filament is wound on a standard plastic spool with a winding of 1 kg of material. It is usually dried and vacuum-packed with desiccant to minimize moisture during storage.

With proper storage in a dry, sealed container, the filament retains its mechanical and optical properties over the long term and is ready for immediate use in a 3D printer.

Key features:

• Transparent green PETG filament for universal use
• Combination of easy printing and high mechanical durability
• Low shrinkage – suitable for larger parts without deformation
• Excellent layer adhesion and impact resistance
• Good thermal and chemical resistance – also suitable for outdoor environments
• Attractive translucent effect for both design and functional prints
