Translucent PETG Colours
Translucent Blue PETG
Translucent Blue combines a vivid blue colour with a see-through finish that allows light to pass through printed walls. It works especially well for lighting projects, decorative containers, vases, props, display models and functional parts where a coloured translucent appearance is desired.
Translucent Green PETG
Translucent Green provides a rich green hue while maintaining the light-transmitting characteristics of translucent PETG. It is a strong choice for botanical designs, lighting projects, containers, decorative models, props and colourful functional parts.
Translucent Orange PETG
Translucent Orange produces a bold warm orange colour with excellent visual impact. It is well suited to lighting features, signs, decorative pieces, props, containers and high-visibility parts that benefit from a translucent finish.
Translucent Purple PETG
Translucent Purple combines a rich purple colour with a glossy, light-transmitting appearance. It is ideal for decorative models, vases, lighting projects, fantasy props, containers and display pieces where colour depth is an important part of the design.
Translucent Red PETG
Translucent Red produces a deep ruby-like appearance in printed parts. It works well for lighting projects, decorative models, props, signs, containers and functional components where a strong red colour and translucent finish are desired.
Clear Translucent PETG
Clear Translucent PETG contains no added colour, allowing the natural translucent appearance of PETG to show through. It is an excellent choice for light diffusers, covers, containers, enclosures, decorative pieces and projects where visibility through the printed part is useful.
3D printed PETG will normally appear translucent rather than optically transparent. Thinner layers, infill and multiple perimeters will reduce the amount of light that passes through the finished part.
Translucent Yellow PETG
Translucent Yellow provides a bright yellow colour with strong light transmission and excellent visibility. It is well suited to signs, lighting projects, decorative parts, containers and prints where a cheerful high-visibility colour is desired.
Why Choose Spool3D Translucent PETG?
- Translucent Finish: Allows light to pass through printed walls to create visual depth and attractive lighting effects.
- Vibrant Colours: Choose from six coloured translucent options plus Clear.
- PETG Strength & Durability: Offers greater toughness and impact resistance than typical PLA for functional printing.
- Excellent Layer Adhesion: PETG provides strong inter-layer bonding for durable printed parts.
- Low Warping: PETG is generally easier to print than higher-shrink materials such as ABS.
- Glossy Appearance: The natural gloss of translucent PETG helps highlight colour depth and surface detail.
- Consistent 1.75mm Diameter: Tight dimensional tolerances help ensure reliable filament feeding and extrusion.
- Pantone Colour Coded: Coloured variants use defined Pantone references to make colours easier to identify and reorder.
- Vacuum Packaged: Filament is packaged with desiccant and includes a resealable storage bag to help keep PETG dry.

Tips for Printing with Translucent PETG
- A textured build plate or suitable adhesive/barrier layer is recommended because PETG can bond very strongly to some smooth print surfaces.
- Ensure your print bed is level for reliable first-layer adhesion.
- Dry PETG before printing if you notice excessive stringing, bubbling or inconsistent extrusion.
- For better light transmission, experiment with larger layer heights, fewer walls and reduced or zero infill where the part design allows. Print slower and hotter, allowing the plastic to cool naturally for clearer printing.
- Thinner layer heights and additional perimeters generally make translucent PETG appear more opaque.
- Use part cooling as required for bridges, overhangs and detailed features.
- Store PETG in a cool, dry location and keep it sealed with desiccant when not in use.

Clear Translucent PETG
this PETG doesnt act like normal PETG. played with many temperatures and slicer settings had about a 60-70% fail rate on this Translucent PETG, filament choked itself many times as it was NOT wound properly with the filament crossing over itself making long prints impossible, Very unreliable filament. my best recommendation is to put the PETG in an oven 1st 60Celsius and dry out any moisture.

PETG Translucent Red
First time I've printed with PETG on my Creality CR10S Pro V2. Nozzle at 240C, bed at 70C. PETG Translucent Red filament. It worked very well for my application (business card holders), there was a slight bit of stringing but nothing too bad. The print came out very strong, much stronger than standard PLA, no fumes, easy to work with. This filament looks like a rich ruby red, quite nice.

Translucent purple petg
Really easy material to work with, prints nice, great later adhesion

PETG Translucent Purple
Out of the box, this material was globby and jammed up hard when I tried to first use it to do a temp tower. I dried it out and it's been just as awesome to print with as the solid version, but way more gorgeous. Awesome rich purple colour with just 0.9mm wall thickness, and a great sheen that makes features pop. I will be buying other colours to do decoration stuff with, this material loves vase mode! My Prusa Mini prints this at 230/85 first layer, 235/90 other layers (full 230c if thin).

Transluscent PETG
Looks great, though this is the hardest PETG Filament I've had to print with. it clogged one of my printers multiple times and somehow still gets ground up and stuck by my other printer's gear with 20mm/s retraction speed and 3mm retraction distance (250c)
