A while ago I bought a roll of transparent petg “the filament” by spectrum. Wonderful, it printed great, shiny, smooth. I loved it.

Then I took advantage of the promotion on the Bambu lab website “4 rolls are discounted + free shipping” and I bought their transparent petg.

I opened the vacuum bag, loaded immediately in the printer and it strings and pops. Settings are correct as the slicer has a dedicated profile for this roll.

Their website says “warning: dry before using” - they mean that it comes already too moist from the factory?

    Does Bambulab actually sell trans_parent_ PETG now? Last I checked it was only trans_lucent_.

    Light probably does come through the translucent PETG, but as it is only translucent and not transparent you might not be able to see through.

        Don’t mind the snickering pedant. Keep on killin’ it out there, pushing the boundaries of see-through FDM prints. 🤌🏼
