PETG Filament 1.75mm, 3D Printer Consumable, 1lb Spool, Fits Most FDM 3D Printer (Aqua)

This is a pretty cool filament color but you must take the time to get it dialed in for the printer you are using. I had to slow the speeds down and run hot end temp towards the hotter temp and after getting dialed in it was very easy to print and the finished product looks nice.

Really nice looking prints with this.

Beautiful color nice and translucent. Prints great. Strong layer bonding.

Works as expected clean prints look great

Good filament color is great.

I tried everything to get this filament dialed in. I tried on my bowden setup and my hemera direct drive. I did get a few nice prints out it and when I did, the color, finish and hardness were very pleasing but several prints were ruined due to over and under extrusion because of inconsistent filament diameters. I tried drying it out as well, which helped but didn't solve it. For the price it should have been better.

I love this filament, but it is definitely not one for beginners. I use it for cookie cutters because it's made of FDA approved polymers for food contact and has excellent layer adhesion and toughness. Plus, they look bejewelled and my wife likes that. It did take some fiddling and more than a few calibration prints (I used just about all of the ones in the add-on for Cura). It goes from beautiful professional looking prints to a stringy mess in about 5°C in my experience. It seems to like slower printing, though fast travel/acceleration moves, less retraction distance than I normally use and for me 235°C nozzle and a 50°C bed with a very generous amount of Elmer's Purple Glue Stick for first layer adhesion. It also needs to be dry and is best kept in a dry box. I find 65°C/150°F in a dehydrator for 4-6 hours clears up stringing issues when they start to appear (assuming you have settings dialed in in the first place) I have done a few prints to take advantage of the optically clear nature and that benefited from even slower printing speeds, a 0.80mm nozzle, single wall (vase mode) and really went glass-like with a coat of XTC-3D. Anyone trying to do a regular infilled part with a 0.40mm nozzle at 0.20mm layer heights or less is going to fail to make this look glass-like because of the laws of optics and not because of how clear this filament is. It's going to look cloudy for the same reason sugar looks white. If you look at sugar under a microscope it's clear, put it in a jar with a bunch of fine crystals and it looks white because the light gets scattered every which way. However, when you make rock candy with nice big crystals you start to see how clear it is again. That said, even at fine layer heights it's clearer than any other "clear" filament I've used and as I mentioned earlier sparkles like it's bejewelled. I'm also trully impressed with Taulman for correcting the posting for the clear filament and their support in general. There's comprehensive instruction on their website for how to acheive the best reults when trying to take advantage of the optically clear nature of this filament that are worth reading if you want things glass-like. For reference, though it doesn't always apply between different printers or slicers, here's my settings for my heavily modified Ender 3 Max using Cura 4.12: Nozzle - 235°C Bed - 50°C Print speed - 25mm/s wall, 20mm/s initial layer, 50mm/s infill (depending on what I'm making) Equalize Filament Flow - Checked (turned on) Acceleration - 1000mm/s Jerk -10mm/s Retraction - 2.5mm @35mm/s retract and 25mm/s prime Combing mode - All Cooling - 10-30% You'll have to enable some of those values in Cura. If basically none of the things I listed mean anything to you, then hold off Padawan and develop your skills and knowledge before taking advantage of this filament. Or if you're stubborn like me, just buy it and plow ahead till you get it working eventually and learn along the way. It's a truelly unique filament with some wonderful properties.
