Prusament PETG Lipstick Red 1kg (NFC)

Prusament PETG Lipstick Red 1kg (NFC)

Prusament PETG Lipstick Red is a top-tier PETG filament from Prusa Research / Prusa Polymers' own production, designed for reliable printing of functional and aesthetic parts. The intense "lipstick red" shade gives your models a bold, rich look, while PETG as a material offers higher strength, toughness, and temperature resistance compared to PLA.

Thanks to the highly accurate 1,75 mm (±0,02 mm) diameter, the filament behaves predictably and ensures smooth layers and consistent material flow. The new spool with an NFC tag (OpenPrintTag) also allows supported printers and the mobile app to immediately recognize the material type and its parameters.

Main advantages and applications

• High print reliability – PETG from Prusa is known for stable properties and minimal warping during printing.
• Heat resistance – suitable for parts used in warmer environments (e.g., in a car, near windows, in a workshop).
• Good toughness – parts withstand impacts and mechanical stress better than PLA.
• Bold red color – ideal for design models, highlighted parts, covers, brackets, accessories, and decorations.
• Integrated NFC (OpenPrintTag) – fast spool identification, storage of material information, convenient use with modern printers.
• Highly precise manufacturing – diameter stays within ±0,02 mm tolerance, which helps eliminate nozzle clogging issues and inconsistent material flow.

Typical applications:

• functional prototypes and components
• holders, mounts, electronics covers
• household and workshop parts
• models exposed to sunlight or higher temperatures where PLA is not enough

Recommended print parameters

Specific values may vary depending on the printer, nozzle, and behavior of a specific piece of spool, so take them as default settings.

• Nozzle temperature: 250 °C (recommended range 240–260 °C)
• Heatbed temperature: 80 °C (recommended range 70–90 °C)
• Print speed: commonly 40–80 mm/s, high-quality printing is possible even at higher speeds (up to approx. 150–200 mm/s depending on the printer)
• Cooling: approx. 30–60 % – for PETG usually lower than for PLA, for better layer adhesion
• Recommended print surface: smooth, satin, and lightly textured PEI surfaces

For maximum adhesion, we recommend thoroughly degreasing the bed before printing (e.g., with isopropyl alcohol) and using a brim or elephant foot compensation in the slicer for larger models.

PETG Material Properties

• Material: PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol)
• Density: approx. 1,27 g/cm³
• Heat resistance: around 68 °C under standard load (HDT)
• Tensile strength: approximately 46 MPa
• Hardness: approx. 74 D (Shore D)

PETG combines the benefits of PLA and ABS – easier to print than ABS and better mechanical and thermal properties than PLA. It is suitable for outdoor and functional parts where better resistance to heat, UV radiation, and stress is needed.

NFC (OpenPrintTag) – smart spool

This variant of Prusament is equipped with an NFC tag according to the OpenPrintTag standard directly in the spool. This allows:

• storage of information about material type and recommended parameters,
• fast identification of the spool by compatible printers,
• reading data via the Prusa mobile app even without an internet connection, as the data is stored directly on the tag.

This makes material changes clearer and minimizes the risk of incorrect settings.

Who is Prusament PETG Lipstick Red suitable for

This filament will be appreciated by:

• Hobby and pro users who want a combination of high quality, stability, and excellent appearance,
• users looking for reliable PETG for everyday functional printing,
• those who want accurate, repeatable results without long profile tuning,
• customers who want to use modern NFC features for easier filament management.

Tips for successful PETG printing

• Print with lower cooling than for PLA – layer adhesion will improve.
• If "stringing" occurs, lower the nozzle temperature or slightly adjust retractions.
• PETG is more sensitive to adhesion – if parts are hard to remove, slightly lower the heatbed temperature or use a separation layer (e.g., glue stick).
• Store the spool in a dry place, ideally in a resealable box with desiccant.
