WORCAM PETG Dark Violet 1kg

WORCAM PETG Dark Violet 1kg

Filament WORCAM PETG Dark Violet 1kg is a reliable material for everyday 3D printing of functional and design parts. PETG from WORCAM is based on the manufacturer's proven PETG series formula – it combines easy printing similar to PLA with higher toughness, thermal resistance, and resistance to stress and weathering.

The dark violet shade is ideal wherever you want an elegant technical look, but do not want classic black or gray. The color masks fine layers and minor surface imperfections well, making it suitable even for rapid prototypes, covers, brackets, or design decorations.

Key features

• PETG Material – a balanced ratio between strength, toughness, and ease of printing
• Filament diameter 1.75 mm with a precise tolerance of ±0.05 mm (consistent with other WORCAM PETG)
• Spool weight 1 kg – ideal for frequent printing and longer projects
• Dark Violet – a distinctive, yet technical and elegant shade
• Easy printing – similar settings to PLA, but with higher mechanical and thermal resistance
• Low warping and good bed adhesion due to the low thermal expansion of PETG
• Suitable for functional parts, prototypes, electronics covers, jigs, brackets, decorations
• Compatible with most common FDM/FFF 3D printers (Prusa, Creality, Bambu Lab, Anycubic, etc.)

Recommended printing parameters

Values are based on official WORCAM PETG filaments (same material base and spool design):

Settings may vary slightly depending on the specific printer, hotend, and cooling. For best results, we recommend:

• performing flow calibration and retractions,
• starting at medium values (e.g., 240 °C nozzle, 80 °C bed) and fine-tuning according to results,
• using a clean and degreased bed (glass, PEI, textured sheet, BuildTak, etc.),
• turning on moderate cooling (approx. 30–60%) for more detailed models and bridges.

Usage of WORCAM PETG Dark Violet in practice

• Functional components – brackets, mounts, jigs, technical parts for interior and exterior
• Prototypes – rapid shape verification as well as final parts with decent mechanical resistance
• Covers and cases – for electronics, sensors, Raspberry Pi, home automation
• Design and decorative models – figurines, stands, interior accessories in elegant violet
• Models for workshop and garage – tool organizers, hose holders, jigs for measurement and positioning

The dark violet shade is also suitable for combined color projects, where it contrasts with light or neutral colors (gray, white, silver).

Advantages of PETG over PLA

• Higher temperature resistance – models do not deform as easily in heat (e.g., in a car or by a window)
• Better toughness – compared to PLA, it is less brittle, better tolerates bending and impacts
• Lower shrinkage – lower risk of warping and peeling from the bed
• Good price-performance ratio – an ideal choice for functional parts without the need to switch to technical plastics like ABS/ASA/PC

At the same time, it retains relatively easy printing – suitable even for users transitioning from PLA to their first technical material.

Tips for successful printing

• Print on a clean, degreased bed (isopropyl alcohol, dish soap water)
• For the first layers, you can reduce the speed for better adhesion and bottom surface quality
• For higher print speeds, increase the nozzle temperature in the upper part of the recommended range
• If stringing appears on the print, try increasing retraction and slightly lowering the nozzle temperature

Summary

WORCAM PETG Dark Violet 1kg is a great choice for anyone looking for a reliable, durable, yet easily printable filament in an attractive dark violet color. It is suitable for both beginners and advanced users who want functional parts with better performance than PLA without having to deal with the difficulty of materials like ABS or PC.
