The R3D PETG-Silk Gold Leaf 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 shiny, metallic-looking surface in the gold leaf color tone. PETG-Silk offers a good combination of strength, impact resistance, and visual appeal. The material has a tensile strength of 42 MPa and a flexural strength of 75 MPa, making it suitable for functional parts with decorative requirements. The heat deflection temperature is 70 °C, ensuring sufficient temperature stability for many applications. The filament is compatible with AMS systems and can be processed with nozzle sizes from 0.4 to 0.8 mm. Suitable nozzle materials include copper and hardened steel. The spool is sealed and packaged with silica gel to minimize moisture absorption. For optimal print quality, storage in a cool, dry place at 15 to 25 °C and protected from UV light is recommended.
