Keeps PETG's toughness and chemical resistance, so it works for light covers and diffusers that also need to be functional parts.
How strong and heat-resistant is Translucent PETG?
Printed Translucent PETG parts have a typical tensile strength of 45–55 MPa and heat resistance of ~75 °C. These are typical values for printed parts in the XY direction; strength between layers is lower, so orientation matters for loaded parts.
How big a part can you print in Translucent PETG, and how fast?
Up to 350 × 320 × 325 mm in one piece; larger parts are printed in sections and joined, after a review. Production takes 2-5 business days, and rush service is available.
