Prusament PETG Terracotta Light 1kg (NFC)

Product description

Prusament PETG Terracotta Light 1kg (NFC) is a premium PETG filament manufactured directly by Prusa Research in the Czech Republic. It combines high mechanical strength, thermal stability, and very precise winding with an attractive matte light terracotta shade, which is perfectly suited for architectural models, decorations, design accessories, and functional prototypes.

Thanks to low shrinkage and good layer adhesion, PETG is suitable even for larger parts without a printer enclosure – prints warp only minimally and adhere well to the build plate. Compared to PLA, PETG is more durable, less brittle, and more flexible, so it better withstands stress and impacts.

This version also includes an NFC tag according to the OpenPrintTag standard, which provides the printer and slicer with information about the filament (material type, color, spool manufacturing parameters). This makes it easier to choose the correct profile and to monitor filament consumption over time.

Main advantages of Prusament PETG Terracotta Light

• Premium quality from the Czech Republic – complete production and quality control takes place directly at Prusa Research.
• Diameter accuracy of ±0,02 mm – ensures stable material flow and consistent print results.
• Low shrinkage and deformation – suitable for larger models and technical parts.
• High toughness and durability – less brittle than PLA, withstands impacts and bending well.
• Good heat resistance – suitable for functional parts in standard environments (holders, jigs, fixtures, interior parts, etc.).
• Attractive Terracotta Light color – a warm, earthy shade inspired by terracotta, great for decorations and architectural models.
• Integrated NFC chip (OpenPrintTag) – quick reading of spool data, better material overview, and easier workflow.

Recommended use

Prusament PETG Terracotta Light is ideal for:

• Functional technical parts – holders, jigs, assembly fixtures, electronic enclosures
• Architectural models – buildings, urban complexes, interior studies
• Decorations and design accessories – vases (not watertight without post-processing), figurines, interior decorations
• Prototypes and small series – housings, mechanical components, functional prototypes

Thanks to the combination of toughness, slight flexibility, and heat resistance, PETG is suitable where PLA is no longer sufficient but extreme resistance of materials such as PC/ABS is not required.

Print settings (approximate)

Recommended parameters for Prusament PETG on Original Prusa printers and similar FFF/FDM machines:

Printing tips:

• PETG tends to string – drying the filament and fine-tuning retraction and nozzle temperature helps.
• Before printing, make sure the print sheet is clean, degreased (isopropyl alcohol), and in good condition.
• For very strong adhesion on smooth surfaces, it is advisable to use a release layer (e.g. glue stick) to prevent damage to the sheet.

Quality and production tracking

Prusament PETG is known for:

• Precise and even winding – minimizes filament tangling.
• Online production monitoring – for each spool, you can find the production record and specific batch parameters on the Prusament website.
• Consistent color between batches – suitable for long-term projects and repeat production.

The version with NFC further simplifies material tracking and automation – the printer can automatically recognize the filament type and suggest the correct profile.
