OVERTURE PETG Transparent 3D Printing Filament

The OVERTURE PETG Transparent 3D printing filament is an extremely durable thermoplastic polyester made from premium PETG resin. The filament has is a consistent 1.75 mm diameter, making it compatible with most currently used 3D printing machines. With Overture’s patented clog-free formula, the filament flows smoothly through the printing nozzle. The finished print cools to a hard, accurate print without significant shrinkage or warping. The OVERTURE PETG Transparent is ideal for projects needing a “see-through” result.

PETG Plastic

The material used for the OVERTURE PETG Transparent is called Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol. PETG is a thermoplastic polyester, also abbreviated as PETg or PET-G. The material that is food-safe, non-toxic, and fully recyclable. PETG was developed to mediate between the advantages and disadvantages of ABS and PLA plastics. Where PETG is stronger than PLA, it is not as strong as ABS. On the other hand, PETG is more flexible than ABS but not as much as PLA. This makes PETG useful for 3D projects in the mid-range of strength and flexibility. As a food-safe plastic, PETG is popularly used for beverage bottles and food packaging.

PETG filament has the best qualities for a transparent 3D print. Other clear 3D filaments used for clear projects print more translucent. A finished PETG print also needs less post-printing work to achieve a transparent look.
