Prusament PETG Clear 1kg (NFC)

Prusament PETG Clear 1kg (NFC)

Prusament PETG Clear is a premium clear PETG filament developed and manufactured by Prusa Research. It is intended for users who require reliability, dimensional accuracy, and excellent visual properties in the form of transparent or semi-transparent prints.

Thanks to the integrated NFC chip (OpenPrintTag), you can easily load information about the filament (material type, color, recommended temperatures, etc.) into compatible printers and mobile applications. This significantly simplifies proper print parameter setting and stock tracking.

Main advantages of Prusament PETG Clear (NFC)

• High-quality PETG from Prusa Research – manufactured in-house with strict quality control and diameter precision of ±0,03 mm.
• Clear / transparent color – suitable for parts where transparency or a view of the internal structure is desired.
• Integrated NFC chip (OpenPrintTag) – quick loading of filament parameters, better overview of the material and its use.
• Good mechanical strength and toughness – ideal for functional parts, covers, mounts, and technical components.
• Higher heat resistance than PLA – suitable for parts exposed to slightly elevated temperatures (e.g. in a car interior, near electronics).
• Easy to print – less prone to warping than some other technical materials, suitable even for advanced beginners.

Recommended applications

Prusament PETG Clear is a universal material suitable for:

• functional prototypes and technical parts
• electronics enclosures and transparent windows
• design and decorative objects with a transparent effect
• parts where higher heat resistance than PLA is required
• mechanically stressed components, brackets, mounts, jigs

Recommended print settings

Specific values may vary slightly depending on the printer and environment. The following ranges are based on recommendations for Prusament PETG.

• Nozzle temperature: approx. 230–250 °C
• Bed temperature: approx. 70–90 °C
• Recommended surface: textured or satin powder-coated PEI sheet, or another surface suitable for PETG
• Print speed: medium (typically 40–60 mm/s depending on the printer)
• Fan: generally lower power than for PLA, depending on the model geometry

Before printing, it is advisable to check that the print bed is clean and degreased to ensure proper first-layer adhesion.

Tips for working with PETG

• Filament drying: PETG is partially hygroscopic – during longer storage in an open environment it can absorb moisture and then sputter during printing, form bubbles, and produce a worse surface. For optimal results, store the filament in a dry place or dry it before printing.
• Removing prints: PETG adheres very strongly to some print surfaces. If the print does not come off easily, let the bed cool down (or gently heat it up) and use a plastic spatula.
• Retraction settings: To reduce stringing, it is advisable to pay attention to retraction and temperature settings.

Who Prusament PETG Clear is suitable for

• Owners of Original Prusa printers (MK3, MK4, MINI, XL, etc.), where preset profiles are available for Prusament PETG.
• Users of other FDM/FFF printers who want a stable and proven PETG with consistent quality.
• Customers who appreciate NFC identification of the spool for better integration with modern printing ecosystems.
