Product Description
Bambu Lab PETG Translucent Purple – Refill, 1 kg is a high-quality translucent PETG filament designed especially for Bambu Lab printers, but can also be used without issues on most common FDM printers with a filament diameter of 1.75 mm.
The translucent purple color allows for effective light transmission and creates attractive lighting and decorative effects – great for backlit signs, lamps, cosplay, electronics covers, or design models. Thanks to its special composition, this PETG offers better printing properties than standard PETG – less stringing, limited nozzle clogging, and very good layer adhesion.
The refill version is designed for the reusable Bambu Lab spool, which reduces plastic waste and facilitates storage.
Main Advantages
- Translucent Purple PETG – great for effective, light-permeable, and decorative prints.
- High Impact Resistance and Toughness – suitable for functional parts and mechanically stressed components.
- UV and Water Resistant Material – ideal for outdoor use and parts exposed to weathering.
- Better Printing Stability than Standard PETG – reduced stringing, limited nozzle clogging, lower susceptibility to warping.
- Excellent Layer Adhesion – strong and durable prints.
- Eco-friendly Refill Packaging – designed for the Bambu Lab reusable spool, less plastic waste.
- Universal Compatibility – for Bambu Lab printers and other FDM printers with 1.75 mm filament.
Recommended Use
This PETG is suitable for both hobby users and professionals. Thanks to the combination of translucency, strength, and durability, it is especially suitable for:
- Illuminated and Backlit Models – lamps, LED diffusers, light signs, decorations.
- Design and Presentation Prototypes – translucent covers, products with visible internal structures.
- Functional Parts for Exterior – holders, covers, components exposed to moisture and UV radiation.
- Technical Parts – connectors, mounts, housings where higher toughness than PLA is required.
The printing difficulty level is slightly higher than PLA, but still well manageable for users with at least basic experience in FDM printing.

Specific printing parameters may vary slightly depending on the printer, nozzle, cooling, and model geometry. For best results, we recommend running calibration tests (flow, temperature, retraction) in the respective slicer.
Tips for Printing
- Material Drying: PETG easily absorbs moisture, which leads to stringing and bubbles on the surface. We recommend drying the filament before demanding prints.
- Bed Adhesion: For reliable adhesion, use a suitable build plate (engineering / high-temp / PEI) and if necessary glue or glue stick.
- Cooling: For PETG, generally use medium to lower fan intensity to avoid deterioration of layer adhesion.
- Printing Speed: PETG can handle relatively high speeds, but for the best surface and translucency, it is advisable not to choose extremely aggressive settings.
