WORCAM PETG Silver 1kg

WORCAM PETG Silver 1kg

WORCAM PETG Silver is a universal filament for FDM/FFF 3D printing that combines good mechanical resistance, higher thermal resistance, and easy printing. The silver metallic color gives your prints a technical and elegant look – ideal for design prototypes, functional parts, and decorations.

Main advantages of PETG WORCAM material

• Higher strength and toughness than PLA – suitable for functional and mechanically stressed parts
• Higher temperature resistance – suitable for parts in warmer environments (car interiors, electronics covers, etc.)
• Good chemical resistance – resists common cleaning agents and chemicals
• Low shrinkage and warping – minimal curling, good adhesion to the print bed
• Relatively easy printing – behavior close to PLA, only with higher nozzle and bed temperatures
• Compatible with most FDM/FFF printers with a 1.75 mm diameter

Appearance and use of silver PETG

Silver PETG WORCAM creates a semi-matte to slightly glossy metallic surface that effectively masks print layers and gives parts a professional look. Typical use:

• design and visual prototypes
• covers, holders, grips, and technical parts
• electronics parts and accessories
• decorations, models, promotional and presentation items

Recommended print settings

Specific settings may vary depending on the printer, environment, and model, but generally, these values are used for WORCAM PETG (based on the parameters of the WORCAM PETG 1.75mm / 1kg series):

• Nozzle temperature: 230–245 °C
• Bed temperature: 75–85 °C
• Recommended print speed: around 40–80 mm/s (depending on surface quality)
• Filament diameter: 1.75 mm
• Diameter tolerance: ±0.05 mm
• Printing type: FDM/FFF

For best results, we recommend printing in a more enclosed environment without drafts, ensuring a clean and degreased bed (glass, PEI, structured bed, etc.), and potentially using a brim or slight "z-squish" for a perfect first layer.

Storage and filament care

PETG is less hygroscopic than nylon, for example, but still absorbs moisture from the air, which can cause:

• popping and hissing of the filament during printing
• rougher surface and worsened layer adhesion

To maintain quality:

• store the filament in a closed bag/box with desiccant
• if signs of moisture appear, dry the filament (approx. 55–65 °C for several hours in a filament dryer or food dehydrator)

Summary

WORCAM PETG Silver 1kg is a great choice for users looking for a strong, durable, yet still relatively easy-to-print material with an attractive silver appearance. It is suitable for everyday technical printing, functional parts, and representative models, and thanks to the standard 1.75 mm diameter, it is compatible with the vast majority of desktop FDM 3D printers.

Key features:

• Quality PETG filament WORCAM in attractive silver color
• Higher strength, toughness, and thermal resistance compared to PLA
• Low shrinkage and minimal warping during printing
• Easy printing on most FDM/FFF 3D printers
• Precise diameter of 1.75 mm with ± 0.05 mm tolerance
• Suitable for functional parts, prototypes, and design models
• Semi-matte metallic surface masks print layers well
