Prusament PETG Jungle Green 1kg (NFC)

Product description

Prusament PETG Jungle Green 1kg (NFC) is a high-quality PETG filament manufactured in‑house by Prusa Research. It offers a combination of high durability, slight flexibility, and very good temperature resistance, making it ideal for functional and technical prints that need to withstand real use.

The Jungle Green color variant brings a saturated, deep green shade suitable both for technical parts and design projects, models, mock-ups, or prototypes. Thanks to precise winding and strict diameter control, the filament feeds reliably and minimizes the risk of jams in the filament path.

The new spool design is equipped with an NFC tag compliant with the OpenPrintTag standard, which allows a compatible printer or mobile app to automatically recognize the material type, color, and basic parameters. This makes print setup faster and more convenient and reduces the risk of errors.

Key features

• PETG material – high durability, toughness, and good temperature resistance
• Jungle Green color – rich green, suitable for both technical and design models
• New spool with NFC (OpenPrintTag) – rewritable NFC tag with stored filament data
• Precise 1,75 mm diameter – very tight tolerance for stable extrusion and high-quality details
• Low shrinkage – reduced risk of warping and deformation during printing
• Excellent layer adhesion – suitable for functional parts subjected to real-world stress
• Easy printing on common FDM/FFF printers with a heated bed
• Made in the EU (Czech Republic) directly by Prusa Research

Recommended applications

Prusament PETG Jungle Green is an excellent choice for users who need durable, functional, and at the same time visually appealing prints.

Suitable for example for:

• electronics covers and enclosures
• mounts, brackets, fixtures, and jigs
• mechanical components with moderate loads
• workshop and household parts (organizers, hooks, storage elements)
• prototypes with higher temperature resistance than PLA
• outdoor use (under a roof, sheltered), where the material is exposed more to temperature than PLA

Printing recommendations

Specific recommendations may vary depending on the printer, but these values are commonly used for Prusament PETG:

• Nozzle temperature: approx. 230–250 °C (depending on printer and speed)
• Bed temperature: approx. 75–90 °C
• Print surface: smooth, satin, or powder-coated textured PEI
• Print cooling: low to medium (e.g. 0–40 %; depending on the model geometry)
• Layer height: typically 0,15–0,30 mm
• Print speed: medium (e.g. 40–80 mm/s depending on settings and printer rigidity)

To achieve the best results, it is important to have a clean print surface (degreased with IPA or as recommended by the printer manufacturer) and well-dried filament, especially if it has been open for a longer time. PETG is partially hygroscopic – it absorbs moisture, which can cause bubbles, stringing, and a poorer surface finish.

Advantages and limitations of PETG

Advantages:

• greater toughness and durability than PLA
• better temperature resistance (suitable for parts exposed to higher temperatures)
• very good layer bonding, strong functional parts
• lower shrinkage than ABS, easier printing without an enclosed chamber

Limitations:

• a tendency to stringing, which can be reduced with proper retraction and temperature settings
• often prints very fine, thin details worse than PLA
• may adhere too strongly to some types of build plates – in such cases, a separation layer (glue, glue stick, etc.) helps
