Prof. Lab PETG Transparent Red 1 kg

Prof. Lab PETG Transparent Red 1 kg – strong, durable and translucent filament

Prof. Lab PETG Transparent Red is a versatile PETG filament for demanding users looking for a combination of mechanical resistance, easy printing and attractive appearance. The transparent red color allows for the creation of semi-transparent models, suitable for backlighting or striking design elements.

Like other Prof. Lab PETG filaments, this variant also offers:

• high strength and toughness similar to ABS,
• easy printing and dimensional stability like PLA,
• minimal shrinkage and warping,
• excellent layer adhesion and a smooth print surface.

Main advantages of Prof. Lab PETG

• Combination of strength and flexibility – suitable for functional and stressed parts.
• Moisture and chemical resistance – ideal for practical use and outdoor environments.
• Low shrinkage and good dimensional stability – suitable even for larger models.
• Odorless during printing – more comfortable work compared to ABS.
• Translucent design – great for light effects, LED covers and design applications.
• Compatible with AMS systems and most FDM/FFF printers.

Uses of transparent red PETG

Prof. Lab Transparent Red PETG is ideal for:

• backlit signs, logos and decorations,
• covers and diffusers for LED lighting,
• protective covers, shields and technical caps,
• functional parts exposed to moisture or chemicals,
• prototypes and structural components,
• parts for outdoor use (higher resistance than PLA).

Recommended print settings

Parameters are based on typical values for Prof. Lab PETG and are a good starting point:

• Filament diameter: 1.75 mm
• Nozzle temperature: 220–240 °C
• Bed temperature: 80–90 °C
• Print speed: approx. 40–60 mm/s (depending on model complexity)
• Cooling: low to medium (for translucent models, rather lower for better layer bonding)

For best results, we recommend printing on a clean, degreased heated bed, or using an adhesive (glue stick, spray, PEI surface, etc.). For PETG, it is advisable to check the height of the first layer to avoid excessive adhesion to the bed.

Quality and packaging

• Prof. Lab PETG filament is manufactured with a diameter tolerance of ±0.03 mm, ensuring stable material flow and consistent printing results.
• It is supplied wound on a plastic spool of standard diameter, suitable for most spool holders.
• Net weight is 1 kg, the filament is vacuum packed together with a desiccant for protection against moisture during storage.

Summary

Prof. Lab PETG Transparent Red 1 kg is an ideal choice for everyone looking for a reliable PETG filament in an attractive transparent red color. It provides high mechanical resistance, simple printing and an effective appearance, making it suitable for both functional technical parts and design and backlit models in home, school and professional use.
