Overview

Filament PM PETG in the shade Transparent Red offers a balanced combination of strength, toughness, and easy printability. Thanks to low shrinkage and minimal warping, it is a great choice even for larger models and prints with practical use. Made in the Czech Republic on 100% recycled spools.

Why PETG from Filament PM

• Easy to print – suitable even for beginners.
• High toughness, good heat resistance (up to ~70 °C).
• Excellent layer adhesion, dimensional stability, low shrinkage.
• Responsible production and a spool return program (Plastic Second Life).

Recommended print settings

• Nozzle: 220–250 °C
• Bed: 80–90 °C
• Material: PETG (polyethylene terephthalate glycol)
  These values are based on the manufacturer’s official parameters and serve as a reliable starting point for most FDM/FFF printers.

Tips for successful printing

• If moisture is present (bubbles, “sizzling,” matte surface), dry the filament for approx. 6 h at 65 °C.
• For cleaner bridges and fewer “hairs,” lower the nozzle temperature or adjust retraction.
• Better adhesion is achieved with a clean bed (IPA) and a slightly higher first layer.

Applications

• Mechanical parts, jigs, holders
• Covers and functional prototypes
• Lighting and design elements – translucent red effect

Parameters (temperatures, tolerances, weights, RAL/Pantone, EAN) are based on Filament PM’s official pages; spool length per the specification for this type.

Key features:

• Transparent red for striking lighting and design prints
• Easy printing and high reliability – suitable even for beginners
• Tough and strong – ideal for functional parts and larger models
• Excellent layer adhesion and stable dimensions, minimal warping
• Recommended temperatures 220–250 °C / 80–90 °C for quick setup
• Made in the Czech Republic, spools from 100% recycled material (Plastic Second Life)
