The R3D PETG-Silk Silver 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, silvery-shimmering surface. PETG-Silk offers excellent layer adhesion and solid mechanical strength, with a tensile strength of 42 MPa and a flexural modulus of 2132 MPa. The material features moderate heat resistance with a Vicat softening temperature of 78 °C. Moisture absorption is as low as 0.4%, enhancing its storage stability. The filament is compatible with AMS systems and can be processed with nozzle sizes ranging from 0.4 to 0.8 mm, made of copper or hardened steel. The spool is vacuum-sealed and packaged with silica gel to minimize moisture exposure. For optimal results, store the filament in a cool, dry place at 15 to 25 °C and protect it from UV light. This filament is particularly suited for decorative objects and projects where a high-quality surface finish is desired.
