Quick Answer

Why does metallic PETG hold its metal look without painting?

Metal-effect pigments are compounded into the PETG resin during masterbatching, so the shimmer runs through the whole filament cross-section. Scratches or sanding reveal the same metallic color underneath — no paint to chip, peel or wear off.

Best for: When a part must take knocks and humidity: functional prototypes, containers and mechanical housings - available in 9 colours; 1kg spools; lead colour PETG JS 011 Metal Indigo. Not ideal for: Not the pick for a glossy silk finish - choose silk PLA for decorative work - available in 9 colours; 1kg spools; lead colour PETG JS 011 Metal Indigo.

01 · Why this one

Product highlights

3 reasons

Paint never survives on parts that flex and wear

metal pigments are blended into the resin itself, giving 8 metallic tones (Aurora Green, Champagne Gold, Copper, Deep Scarlet, Sparkle Deep Scarlet, Shimmer Black, Metal Copper, Bright Gold) that cannot chip or peel.

PETG that strings and warps burns hours of post-processing

our formulation balances viscosity for clean retraction behavior and low warp, with consistent diameter for reliable layer stacking.

Strong parts need correct temperatures

this PETG prints at 220°C with a 70-80°C bed on Bambu Lab, Prusa and Anycubic machines, combining impact resistance with good heat tolerance for real use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does metallic PETG hold its metal look without painting?
Metal-effect pigments are compounded into the PETG resin during masterbatching, so the shimmer runs through the whole filament cross-section. Scratches or sanding reveal the same metallic color underneath — no paint to chip, peel or wear off.
Is it compatible with common FDM printers?
Yes — 1.75mm diameter fits Bambu Lab, Prusa, Creality, Anycubic and most open-frame or enclosed FDM printers. A hardened or standard brass nozzle both work; an enclosure is helpful but not required.
What are the recommended print settings?
Print at 220°C nozzle (240-250°C also works if your machine runs hot) with a 70-80°C heated bed. Use 30-60mm/s, minimal fan after the first layers, and a brim or good adhesion surface for large flat parts.
How much can I print from a 1kg spool?
One 1kg spool of 1.75mm PETG provides roughly 320-330 meters of filament, enough for a range of functional parts such as brackets, mounts, enclosures and tool holders. Final yield depends on infill and supports.
Do the metallic colors look the same from order to order?
Yes — each of the 8 tones (Metal Aurora Green, Champagne Gold, Metallic Copper, Deep Scarlet, Sparkle Deep Scarlet, Metal Shimmer Black, Metal Copper, Metal Bright Gold) is produced from fixed pigment master batches so reorders match your first spool.
Can I print it faster than standard PETG?
It handles 40-80mm/s comfortably; pushing past that increases stringing. For maximum speed with PETG strength, our carbon-fiber PETG series is a better match, while this metallic series favors appearance and toughness.
Is this for prototypes or durable end-use parts?
Both, leaning end-use — PETG's impact resistance and roughly 80°C heat tolerance suit functional parts like enclosures, brackets and jigs, and the metallic finish means those parts can ship directly without painting. For aesthetics-only prints, try our PLA silk series.
How is the spool packaged for storage?
Each 1kg spool is vacuum-sealed with a desiccant pouch. Store in a dry environment below 25% humidity; PETG absorbs moisture, so dry the filament at 60-65°C for 4-6 hours if it has been left out for weeks.
