The Beauty of Translucency

I recently experimented with Translucent PETG on the P1S, and the results are unique compared to standard solids. However, getting that “glass-like” look requires more than just hitting print.

Key Takeaways:

• Infill Matters: Since you can see through the walls, standard grid infill can look messy. I found that 100% infill or concentric patterns work best for light transmission.
• Speed vs. Clarity: Printing slower and slightly hotter (around 255°C) helps the layers fuse better, reducing the “frosting” effect.
• Dry Your Filament: PETG is a sponge for moisture. Any bubbles from wet filament show up instantly as white streaks inside the print.
