Use it for
- Light diffusers and lamp covers, protective windows, cases where you want to see inside, and decorative pieces that benefit from a glassy look.
- It keeps PETG’s toughness and moisture resistance.
Watch out for
- 3D prints are translucent, not truly transparent. Layer lines scatter light.
- Stringing and blobs are more visible in clear material.
- Needs very dry filament for the cleanest result.
- Clear and light colors yellow and haze faster in strong sun than dark ones.
Tips
- For clearer parts, print slowly with thick extrusion and few layer changes.
- Fewer or no infill gaps keep it clear.
- Vase mode (a single outer wall) is especially clear.
