WORCAM PETG Dark gray 1kg
WORCAM PETG Dark gray is a high-quality filament made of PETG material designed for everyday 3D printing of functional and design parts. The dark gray technical shade is perfect for prototypes, mechanical components, jigs, holders, covers, and decorations where you do not want an overly glossy or flashy surface.
Properties of PETG material
PETG is one of the
most commonly used materials for FDM 3D printing. Compared to PLA, it offers:
- higher temperature resistance – suitable for parts in warmer environments (car, vicinity of heating, etc.)
- higher toughness and flexibility – less brittle, better withstands impacts and bending
- better chemical resistance – suitable for functional and technical parts
- lower shrinkage than ABS – reduced risk of warping and cracking during printing
Thanks to these properties, WORCAM PETG is an excellent choice for
mechanically stressed parts, jigs, brackets, housings, electronic enclosures, or components used indoors and outdoors.
Advantages of the dark gray shade
Dark gray color is very popular for technical prints:
- professional technical appearance – resembles industrial plastic parts
- masks imperfections well – fine layers and scratches are less visible
- universal neutral shade suitable for combining with black, white, and vivid colors
Recommended print settings
Specific values may slightly depend on the printer, but these parameters generally work well for WORCAM PETG:
- Nozzle temperature: approx. 230–250 °C
- Bed temperature: approx. 70–85 °C
- Print speed: 40–70 mm/s (lower for detailed parts)
- Fan: 0–50 % (depending on geometry and bridging)
For best results, we recommend printing on a
heated bed with a suitable adhesion aid (PEI, textured sheet, glue stick, special spray, etc.).
Uses of WORCAM PETG Dark gray
This filament is ideal for:
- functional and mechanically stressed parts
- prototypes and test models
- jigs, holders, mounts, assembly aids
- electronic covers and housings
- parts exposed to higher temperatures than PLA can handle
Thanks to the combination of easy printing, strength, and durability, WORCAM PETG is suitable both for
home enthusiasts and for
professionals and small production runs.
