Where it shines

Excellent translucent PETG; best in class for see-through enclosures.

Common use cases: outdoor, transparent, structural.

Where it falls short

Glossier finish than some prefer for matte aesthetics.

Print profile starting point

  • Nozzle temp: start at 240°C and tune ±5°C for surface finish.
  • Bed temp: 70°C is usually enough for adhesion; go up toward 90°C if first layer struggles.
  • Drying: 65°C for 6 hours is a listed starting point; follow the current manufacturer guidance for your spool and dryer.
