The R3D PETG-Silk Green Filament combines the proven properties of PETG with an elegant silk-gloss effect. This filament is suitable for use in standard FDM 3D printers and produces printed objects with a glossy, silky-shimmering surface. PETG offers a good balance of strength, impact resistance, and moderate flexibility as a printing material. The tensile strength is 42 MPa, while the flexural strength is 75 MPa. The material has a low moisture absorption of 0.4% and is compatible with common printing surfaces such as BuildTak, glass, Blue Tape, and PEI. The spool contains 1 kg of filament with a diameter of 1.75 mm and a tight tolerance of ±0.02 mm. The filament is compatible with AMS systems and can be used with nozzle sizes from 0.4 to 0.8 mm, both with copper and hardened steel nozzles. For optimal print quality, the manufacturer recommends storing the filament dry and cool between 15 and 25 °C, protected from UV light. Each spool is sealed and packaged with silica gel to prevent moisture absorption.
