Prusament PETG Prusa Orange Transparent 1kg (NFC)

Product description

Prusament PETG Prusa Orange Transparent 1kg (NFC) is a top‑class PETG filament manufactured in‑house by the Prusa Research team. It is a translucent orange variant in the typical Prusa Orange color, combining an attractive appearance with excellent mechanical properties.

PETG is a versatile and very popular material for functional, mechanically stressed, and outdoor parts. Compared to PLA, it is less brittle, more flexible, and more resistant to higher temperatures, while still maintaining relatively easy printing and a low risk of warping. Thanks to high‑quality production with a guaranteed tolerance of ±0.02 mm, Prusament offers a very consistent diameter and color over the entire length of the filament.

The new generation of spools is equipped with an NFC tag according to the OpenPrintTag standard, which allows easy reading of material information directly into compatible printers and applications – without the need for a cloud or closed ecosystems.

Main advantages

• Premium PETG directly from Prusa Research – complete manufacturing and quality control in‑house
• Translucent orange (Prusa Orange Transparent) – ideal for backlit and design parts
• High heat resistance – suitable for parts exposed to higher temperatures (e.g. in a car interior, near electronics)
• High strength and toughness – good mechanical resistance, partial flexibility, less brittle than PLA
• Low shrinkage and minimal warping – suitable even for larger prints without an enclosed chamber
• Excellent layer adhesion – also suitable for watertight models (appropriate choice of print settings required)
• Diameter accuracy ±0.02 mm – consistent results and a lower risk of nozzle clogging
• Integrated NFC tag (OpenPrintTag) – direct reading of filament data (material, color, profile) by compatible devices
• Mostly odorless during printing – more comfortable use in everyday environments

Recommended applications

• Mechanical and functional parts – brackets, mounts, jigs, functional components
• 3D printer parts – replacement and add‑on components, covers and mounts
• Holders and organizers for the workshop or office
• Covers for electronics, lighting, and sensors – translucent effect for indicator LEDs etc.
• Design and decorative models – lamps, light objects, logos, and illuminated signs

Printing properties and recommended settings

Recommended temperatures

• Nozzle temperature: approx. 250 °C ± 10 °C
• Bed temperature: approx. 80 °C ± 10 °C

Print surfaces

• Especially recommended:
  • textured flexible steel sheet
  • satin flexible steel sheet

Before printing, it is important to have a clean bed surface according to the manual (degreasing with isopropyl alcohol, etc.), because PETG has very strong adhesion – for thin parts or on smooth PEI it may be advisable to use a separating layer (glue stick).

General PETG behavior

• Low warping – suitable for larger parts
• Tendency to stringing – can be reduced by proper retraction and temperature settings
• Poorer bridging than PLA – for bridges and overhangs, it is advisable to increase cooling or adjust the part geometry

Tips for working with PETG

• Drying the filament: PETG is more sensitive to moisture – for best results it is recommended to dry the filament before printing according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Retraction settings: to reduce stringing you can slightly increase retraction and fine‑tune the nozzle temperature.
• Post‑processing: parts can be sanded fairly easily (wet and dry sanding). The material is softer than PLA and does not “smear” as much.
• Removing prints: due to strong adhesion to the bed, we recommend letting the sheet cool down after printing and then gently flexing it to release the part.
