Prusament PETG Prusa Orange 1kg (NFC)

Prusament PETG Prusa Orange 1kg (NFC)

Premium PETG filament manufactured in-house by Prusa Research. Prusament PETG is designed for reliable and consistent 3D printing on Original Prusa printers and other FDM/FFF machines. The Prusa Orange variant is the iconic orange color used on Prusa printer parts.

Main advantages of the material

• Easy and stable printing – optimized profiles in PrusaSlicer, excellent layer adhesion.
• High toughness and strength – suitable for functional and mechanically stressed parts.
• Good temperature resistance – usable for parts with an operating temperature up to approx. 70 °C.
• Low shrinkage and minimal warping – suitable even for larger prints, does not deform like ABS.
• Very precise diameter – guaranteed tolerance ±0.02 mm ensures consistent extrusion.
• Post-processing possibility – parts can be further sanded, drilled, or mechanically machined.
• NFC chip in the spool – enables automatic filament identification on compatible printers and systems.

Recommended use

• Functional and structural parts
• Holders, jigs, assembly aids
• Electronics covers, cases, parts for hobby projects
• Outdoor components (protected from long-term UV radiation)
• Prototypes, design models, and final products where both mechanical resistance and appearance are important

Printing settings (recommendation)

For best results, we recommend using the preset Prusament PETG profiles in PrusaSlicer.

• Nozzle temperature: 250 ± 10 °C
• Bed temperature: 70–90 °C
• Print bed: textured (powder-coated) or satin steel sheet with PEI
• Print speed: commonly 60–80 mm/s, possible up to ~200 mm/s depending on the printer
• Cooling: approx. 50 % (medium fan speed)

Slight stringing is common with PETG. It can be reduced by adjusting retraction and temperatures, or removed after printing with a short blast from a heat gun.

Material properties of PETG Prusament

• Material: PETG (polyethylene terephthalate glycol)
• Density: approx. 1.27 g/cm³
• Hardness: 74 D (Shore D)
• Filament dimensional tolerance: ±0.02 mm
• Dimensional stability and low internal stress – lower risk of cracking and warping of parts.

Color Prusa Orange

The iconic Prusa Orange gives prints a professional and striking look. It is suitable for both technical prototypes and covers, as well as design models, accessories, and decorations coordinated with Original Prusa printers.

Tips for successful printing

• Keep the print bed clean (isopropyl alcohol, or dish soap water for degreasing).
• Do not use a glue stick on textured/satin PEI sheets unless explicitly recommended by the manufacturer.
• In case of first layer adhesion issues, slightly increase the bed or first layer temperature and check the nozzle height above the bed.
• After printing, store the filament back in a resealable bag with silica gel to prevent moisture absorption.

This filament is the ideal choice for users who require reliable, strong, and easy-to-print PETG with precisely controlled quality and smart identification thanks to NFC.
