QIDI PETG Translucent

PETG Translucent perfectly combines the translucent beauty of glass with the impact resistance of engineering plastics. It is also print-friendly, safe, and environmentally friendly, making it the ultimate choice for combining functionality and aesthetics.

Excellent Light Transmission & Aesthetics

PETG Translucent boasts outstanding light transmittance, yielding printed components that exhibit a soft, uniform semi-opaque visual effect comparable to frosted glass. Its premium surface quality and sophisticated texture make it exceptionally well-suited for applications requiring light diffusion and atmospheric illumination, such as lampshades and decorative elements where ambient lighting plays a crucial role.

Well-rounded performance, suitable for outdoor use.

PETG Translucent retains the inherent strength of conventional PETG, featuring exceptional water resistance, UV resistance, and high temperature resistance.

Excellent dimensional stability, easy printing

QIDI PETG Translucent filament excels in dimensional stability and warping resistance, ensuring a high print success rate and exceptional model accuracy.

High printing speed

QIDI PETG Translucent offers exceptional high-speed printing compatibility. With a wide recommended printing speed range of 20-250 mm/s and support for extreme speeds of up to 500 mm/s, it significantly enhances printing efficiency and greatly reduces model production time, making it an ideal choice for rapid prototyping and small-batch production.

Equipped with RFID chip

Equipped with RFID chip, parameters are automatically identified, saying goodbye to manual settings.

Highly compatible with QIDI printers

The ideal choice for QIDI users: excellent compatibility, no adjustment required, and a cost-effective choice

Printing Tips

Dry the filament before use: Moisture in the filament can cause bubbles and voids in the extruded lines, which can affect the transparency of the printed part. We recommend drying the spool for at least 8 hours for best results.
A 0.8mm nozzle is recommended: Larger nozzle size can minimize the number of printed lines, to minimize intersections among lines. This can improve light transmittance of the model. Also, set the top and bottom shell layers to 0, and use a linear infill pattern to ensure consistent layer direction and no overlapping.
Use high-temperature settings: Printing at a higher temperature can ensure better melt flow and adhesion of the filament.The premise is to ensure that the filament is dry.
Increase flow ratio: Moderately increasing the flow ratio is an effective way to enhance transparency. It can reduce the gaps between printing lines and increase the light transmission rate of the model.
Turn off all fans during printing: Allowing the extruded filaments to cool naturally can prevent uneven shrinkage due to rapid cooling.
Polishing the model surface properly can help increase its transparency.
