CLEAR PETG
A durable polyether-class thermoplastic designed for Anisoprint Composer 3D printing
MATERIAL ADVANTAGES
Easy printing, high adhesion between layers and low shrinkage make the printing process smoother.
The material reliably prints strong, thin-walled parts with high interlayer strength - even with some cooling. A good bonus: no odor, low absorption rate, transparent with visible internal structure, well suited for carbon fiber composite grids.
Clear PETG has a wide working temperature range: -40 °C to +70 °C, good resistance to grease and mineral acids. Can be printed together with CFC-PETG based composites.
PROPERTIES
In terms of mechanical properties, the material is a good all-rounder, suitable for printing durable parts that require geometric accuracy.

PRINTING GUIDELINES
Make sure you are using the latest version of Aura and your composer is properly calibrated before printing.
TEMPERATURE
Clear PETG prints best at temperatures between 235 and 240 °C. This plastic is designed for use in the FFF extruder on A4/A3 models.
SPEEDS
We recommend 20-60 mm/s for a standard composer setup. Reduce the speed for external shells to improve surface quality. When printing on an FFF extruder (composer extruder for plastic printing only), we recommend 40-55 mm/s and for the first layers and external shells - 25 mm/s or less.
DRYING AND STORAGE
To avoid excessive moisture absorption, the material should be stored in a cool, dry place. The simplest and very effective method is to add silica gel to the sealed bags containing the filament.
Clear PETG can be stored without drying for weeks (depending on humidity) without affecting print quality. If it has absorbed some moisture, we recommend printing the material in a drying box or simply drying the plastic at 60 °C for 4 hours.
