The R3D PETG-Silk Gold Filament combines the proven properties of PETG with an elegant silk-gloss effect in gold. PETG-Silk merges the excellent impact resistance and chemical stability of PETG with a glossy, silky-shimmering surface. This filament is particularly suitable for decorative printed objects where both stability and a high-quality aesthetic are required. With a diameter of 1.75 mm and a tight tolerance of ±0.02 mm, the material can be reliably and uniformly processed. The spool contains 1 kg of filament and is compatible with standard FDM printers. R3D indicates compatibility with AMS systems, enabling automated filament exchange. Recommended print surfaces include BuildTak, glass, blue tape, and PEI. The Vicat softening temperature is 78 °C, providing the material with solid heat resistance. Each spool is sealed and packaged with silica gel to minimize moisture absorption during storage. For optimal print quality, the manufacturer recommends storing the filament in a cool and dry environment at 15–25 °C, protected from UV light.
