Product description
WORCAM PETG Dark Violet 1kg
Filament WORCAM PETG Dark Violet 1kg is a reliable material for everyday 3D printing of functional and design parts. PETG from WORCAM is based on a proven recipe of the manufacturer's PETG series – it combines easy printing similar to PLA with higher toughness, thermal resistance, and resistance to stress and weathering.
The dark purple shade is ideal wherever you want an elegant technical look, but do not want classic black or gray. The color masks fine layers and minor surface imperfections well, making it suitable for rapid prototypes, covers, brackets, or design decorations.
Key features
- PETG Material – a balanced ratio between strength, toughness, and easy printing
- Filament diameter 1.75 mm with a precise tolerance of ±0.05 mm (consistent with other WORCAM PETG)
- Winding weight 1 kg – ideal for frequent printing and longer projects
- Dark Violet – a distinct yet technical and elegant shade
- Easy printing – similar settings to PLA, but with higher mechanical and temperature resistance
- Low warping and good bed adhesion due to the low thermal expansion of PETG
- Suitable for functional parts, prototypes, electronics covers, fixtures, brackets, decorations
- Compatible with most common FDM/FFF 3D printers (Prusa, Creality, Bambu Lab, Anycubic, etc.)
Recommended printing parameters
Values are based on official WORCAM PETG filaments (same material base and spool construction):
| Parameter | Recommended value |
|---|---|
| Nozzle temperature | 230–245 °C |
| Bed temperature | 75–85 °C |
| Printing speed | up to approx. 80 mm/s |
| Filament diameter | 1.75 mm |
| Diameter tolerance | ±0.05 mm |
| Winding weight | 1 kg |
| Material | PETG |
Settings may vary slightly depending on the specific printer, hotend, and cooling. For best results, we recommend:
- performing flow calibration and retraction calibration,
- starting at medium values (e.g., 240 °C nozzle, 80 °C bed) and fine-tuning based on the result,
- using a clean and degreased bed (glass, PEI, textured sheet, BuildTak, etc.),
- turning on mild cooling (approx. 30–60%) for more detailed models and bridges.
WORCAM PETG Dark Violet in practice
- Functional components – brackets, mounts, fixtures, technical parts for interior and exterior
- Prototypes – rapid shape verification and final parts with decent mechanical resistance
- Covers and enclosures – for electronics, sensors, Raspberry Pi, home automation
- Design and decorative models – figures, stands, interior accessories in elegant purple
- Workshop and garage models – tool organizers, hose holders, measuring and positioning fixtures
The dark purple shade is also suitable for combined color projects, where it contrasts with light or neutral colors (gray, white, silver).
Advantages of PETG over PLA
- Higher temperature resistance – models do not deform as easily in heat (e.g., in a car or by a window)
- Better toughness – compared to PLA, it is less brittle, tolerates bending and impact better
- Lower shrinkage – less risk of warping and peeling off the bed
- Good price-performance ratio – an ideal choice for functional parts without the need to switch to technical plastics like ABS/ASA/PC
At the same time, it retains relatively easy printing – suitable even for users transitioning from PLA to their first technical material.
Tips for successful printing
- Print on a clean, degreased bed (isopropyl alcohol, dish soap water)
- For the first layers, you can reduce the speed for better adhesion and bottom surface quality
- For higher printing speeds, increase the nozzle temperature towards the upper end of the recommended range
- If stringing appears on the print, try increasing retraction and slightly reducing the nozzle temperature
Summary
WORCAM PETG Dark Violet 1kg is a great choice for anyone looking for a reliable, durable, and yet easy-to-print filament in an attractive dark purple color. It is suitable for both beginners and advanced users who want functional parts with better performance than PLA, without having to deal with the difficulty of materials like ABS or PC.
