WORCAM PETG Black Galaxy with fine glitter 1kg

WORCAM PETG Black Galaxy is a versatile filament made from PETG material that combines high mechanical resistance, good toughness, and an attractive black surface with fine Galaxy glitter. It is suitable both for functional technical parts and for designer models, figurines, and accessories where the surface really needs to stand out.

The aesthetically impressive “galaxy” effect helps partially hide layers and minor print imperfections, so prints look very representative even without demanding post-processing.

Main benefits and applications

• Durable material for functional parts PETG is popular for its combination of strength and flexibility. It is suitable for holders, mounts, covers, technical prototypes, and other parts subjected to tensile or bending loads.
• Black Galaxy with fine glitter The dark base shade complemented by fine glitter creates a premium metallic appearance. Ideal for designer parts, cosplay, decorations, electronic enclosures, and display models.
• Good dimensional stability and lower shrinkage Compared to ABS, PETG has a lower tendency to warp, making it suitable also for larger prints and parts with a larger base area.
• Resistance to water and common chemicals Prints made from PETG are water-resistant and generally tolerate contact with oils, salts, and common household chemicals well (depending on the specific application), which broadens the range of uses in the workshop and at home.
• Suitable for indoor and outdoor use In general, PETG offers better UV and temperature resistance than PLA, so parts can also be used outdoors (shelters, holders, covers, garden elements). However, it is recommended to avoid long-term exposure to extreme sunlight and temperatures.

Recommended print settings

Specific values may vary slightly depending on the printer, hotend, and cooling. The following ranges correspond to common practice for quality PETG filaments with a diameter of 1,75 mm.

• Nozzle temperature: approx. 230–250 °C Start, for example, at 240 °C and adjust if necessary based on layer adhesion and surface appearance.
• Bed temperature: approx. 70–90 °C Use lower values for smaller parts, higher ones for large surfaces and better adhesion.
• Print speed: approx. 40–60 mm/s for high-quality surface For decorative models, you can slow down the print for an even smoother appearance.
• Cooling: low to medium (e.g. 0–50 % depending on geometry) Excessive airflow can worsen layer adhesion with PETG.
• Bed surface: textured/satin PEI, glass with suitable adhesive, or another surface for PETG With PETG, it is advisable to prevent it from “bonding permanently” to smooth PEI sheets by using a release layer (e.g. glue stick).

Working with the filament and storage

PETG generally absorbs moisture, which can cause:

• cracking of the material during printing,
• rougher surface,
• worse layer bonding.

Recommendations:

• store the filament in a dry place, ideally in a resealable bag/box with silica gel,
• if the filament has been exposed to a humid environment for a longer time, dry it before printing (e.g. in a filament dryer or in an oven according to the recommended temperatures of the given device),
• protect it from direct sunlight and high temperatures during storage.

Typical areas of application

• Functional parts in the home and workshop – tool holders, organizers, brackets, hooks, jigs
• Structural and technical prototypes – parts of mechanisms, couplings, covers, threaded parts
• Electronics enclosures – cases, panels, sensor mounts, modules
• Designer and decorative models – figurines, models, gift items, cosplay accessories
• Parts for environments with increased humidity – bathroom, kitchen, utility rooms (depending on the specific application)
