A translucent PETG that makes light part of your design without giving up PETG's toughness. Light passes through the grey tint and diffuses, so lamp covers, diffusers, display cases and see-through enclosures glow softly rather than block
Translucent PLA is the easier choice for light effects, but its heat deflection temperature is 55 °C (0.45 MPa). PETG Translucent raises that to 74 °C at the same load. Choose it when parts will face sun, weather or warm electronics.
How see-through a print looks depends on its size, shape and settings. With the right print speed, nozzle temperature and infill density, the result ranges from tinted translucent to tinted transparent. Don't expect glass-like clarity.
This filament absorbs moisture readily and must be dried before use. Damp filament leaves bubbles, which stand out when light shines through a translucent print. Dry it at 65 °C for 8 hours. Keep it protected from moisture while printing and in storage, below 20% RH and sealed with desiccant.
Core Features
- Tune the effect – vary layer and wall thicknesses, or blend colours, to control the balance of light and shadow in each part.
- Built for outdoor use – waterproof, impact-resistant and resilient under prolonged UV exposure. It also resists most oils and greases, but not acids or alkalis.
- Cleaner printing – Bambu Lab's optimised formula minimises stringing, clumping, nozzle sticking and leaking.
- Minimal warping – prints well on enclosed or open-frame printers, and parts keep their dimensions after printing.
- AMS-ready with RFID – compatible with all AMS series, and the AMS reads the print settings from the spool's RFID tag, so first-party filament runs on matched settings.
