Transparent Glacier Blue 1KG PETG Filament
UltraDry™ Transparent Glacier Blue 1KG PETG Filament Description
Transparent Glacier Blue
A pale, icy blue with high transparency and a clean, crystalline look. Prints smooth and consistent, perfect for parts that need a cool, light‑catching finish with minimal color saturation.
Designed for makers who demand superior optical clarity and clean, light‑reactive results. This material prints with smooth walls, crisp detail, and minimal distortion, allowing light to pass through your designs with exceptional consistency. Whether you’re creating functional parts that need visibility or aesthetic pieces that glow, refract, or shimmer, this PETG delivers a polished, high‑quality finish straight off the print bed.
Engineered for easy, reliable printing, with stable flow, strong layer bonding, and low‑warp performance across a wide range of machines. Supports, bridges, and overhangs behave predictably, making it an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced creators working with transparent or shimmer‑based designs.
UltraDry™ Certified for moisture‑stable transparency, ensuring every spool maintains its clarity, extrusion quality, and visual performance from first layer to last.
Printer Compatibility
UltraDry™ filaments are engineered for maximum reliability across nearly all commercially available FDM 3D printers that use 1.75 mm filament. Thanks to DryFusion™ zero‑moisture processing, UltraDry™ materials deliver consistent extrusion, strong layer bonding, and reduced stringing across open‑frame, enclosed, and CoreXY systems.
Universal Compatibility: Works with any 1.75 mm printer capable of:
- 240–260°C nozzle temperature (varies by material)
- 70–90°C heated bed
- Standard PETG flow rates

- Cooling 30–40%
- Use enclosure when available
- Use 4–6 perimeters for clarity
- Avoid gyroid infill for optical parts
Silk PETG
- Reduce print speed for best gloss
- Increase cooling to 40–60%
- Reduce retraction slightly
- Slower outer walls improve sheen
Metallic PETG
- Increase nozzle temperature by +5°C
