AI Help

To achieve a clear finish with transparent PETG filament, consider the following settings adjustments:

  1. Print Temperature: Increase the nozzle temperature to around 240-250°C for PETG filament.

  2. Bed Temperature: Set the bed temperature to around 75-85°C to ensure good adhesion.

  3. Print Speed: Reduce the print speed, as printing too fast can cause issues with transparency.

  4. Retraction Settings: Adjust retraction settings to minimize stringing.

  5. Cooling: Ensure proper cooling to prevent overheating and help with transparency.

Try adjusting these settings and running some test prints to find the optimal configuration for achieving a clear result with your Overture PETG clear filament.

Takeaways are "hot and slow"

i tried that

#

and it came out horrid

silk idol
#

In my experience there is always a certain max flow rate % it prints best at

#

Try printing a max flow rate test

#

And that should show you what the best max flow rate percentage you should try to print at would be

#

(I printed a huge clear ghost)

#

6 feet tall

i looked for a long time

#

Infill makes it less clear

#

You really want as thick and tall layers as possible

#

The fewer layers you do, the clearer it'll be

#

And as few walls as possible

#

And as little infill as possible

harsh nova
#

and what are other terms these would go by

#

I mean, infill makes it less clear

#

So if you want CLEAR, you want very little/no infill

harsh nova
#

oh

silk idol
#

Depends what the part is

harsh nova
#

that artical says 100% infill lol

#

thats prob part of my issue then

silk idol
#

100% would work too

harsh nova
#

what minimum i could probably do?

#

10%

silk idol
#

It's either one or the other

harsh nova
#

?

silk idol
#

What is the part for?

harsh nova
#

a button for some old pepsi machine

silk idol
#

Ah

#

I'd do like 2 walls and no infill tbh

#

Or, if you have a 0.8mm nozzle, 1 wall

harsh nova
#

i cant find a wall settings

silk idol
#

Also is your petg dry?

harsh nova

#

"wall loops"

#

up top

harsh nova
#

how will it not collapse in part

#

since no infil

silk idol
#

Those are the decisions you have to make. If you add infill to make it not collapse, it won't be as clear
