Customer video review of Clear PETG Filament 1.75mm 1kg

Kristian B.

Fantastic clear filament. I used it for a led diffusion bar and guide set that I designed. It was printed with fuzzy skin turned on so that the light would be broken up more from the intense LED diodes. It worked perfectly. This is just as easy to print with as the milky white and black PETG. I'm very happy with this purchase and will probably order more as I'm now hooked on LED hobby projects.

Roy C.

The filament has been reliable and consistent. I use a temperature of 255 deg. C with 70 deg. PEI bed temperature. Print cooling is used to reduce stringing. The picture shows three covers and a duct base with heavy heatsink (over 8" in width) printed on an FLSun Cube 3D FDM printer with extensive modifications in bearings, hotend (switched to a Ceality Mk8 hotend with custom designed and printed mount bearing plate with integral mounts and mount for a front-facing proximity sensor (to be chan...

Jamie K.

Not only is California filament excellent, they have a pale pink PETG! That gives them five stars in my book before even using it. But everything I’ve printed so far has come out excellent. No stringing no rough spots. Great filament.

I needed a beige / tan PETG filament for an order of garden stakes. The photo is a small sample of the ones I made. California Filament has printed perfectly. I highly recommend them.

With a few tweaks to the print settings, California Filament's translucent PETG makes amazing LED light module casings. Make sure you follow the recommended nozzle temperature; I was having terrible bed adhesion using the generic translucent PETG profile in my slicer.

John H.

Worked nicely for several different projects, and was even great for a lithophane, which I've previously only done with PLA. This was my first order from California Filament but it won't be my last.

This smokey white PETG is the only product I could find that would fit my needs. I could hope for a semi transparent white ABS filament if that were possible. I used the filament to make a back lit ignition switch panel. The product is 100% in filled and still allows light to shine through. The product is also strong enough to be installed and in service. I would recommend this product to anyone who is considering a similar application. I plan to use this product for future switch panels.

Initial temp at 250, printing temp at 245, bed temp at 70. When Bambu Lab discontinued PETG Basic, California Filament became my go to filament. Calibrated on a Bambu Lab X1C with the base of Generic PETG.

I have been trying to print these skateboard decks with my elegoo Orangestorm Giga for about a month now. After many many birds nests this filament saved me from going completely insane. Very easy to print even on my huge print bed. Sands nicely too for post production. Can’t wait to get more!

Andrew E.

Made a light-up bunny lamp for my daughter. I'm very impressed with the end result of this. This was printed with a 0.4 nozzle, 3 walls thick, and it glows brighter than expected.

California Filament is my first choice when sourcing PETG material for my 3d printing business, Hyzer Bros (disc golf cart accessories). They consistently provide spools with excellent quality, color, and wind and also provide a Community Page to assist with dialing in your specific printer and responsive Customer Service! For best results with PETG, brass nozzle, and DRY it for minimum of 8hrs (even if you just opened the bag) and even longer for matte filament!

Bryan P.

This is the most matte PETG I have found. Not quite as matte as some of the PLAs out there, but if you need the PETG properties, this is an excellent filament to get. I set up a print profile based on the recommendations in the forums and it printed flawlessly.

Anthony R.

So far, it's great. Off while printed really beautifully and this print in place box all came together as expected. I hope they come out with a matte version of this soon. Happy to not give Amazon money all the time. Shipping was fast and painless, will for sure put this into my printing rotation.

Michael B.

This was my first time printing a filament other than PLA, and this PETG printed beautifully. I did have to calibrate my printer to use it with multiple calibration prints, but once it was dialed in it was perfect. No adhesion issues, layers lines are strong and firmly together, I could use a print speed faster than expected, and there was no stringing. I like CA Filament and have placed another order. Great selection of colors, which is why I tried them, and free shipping, which is really appre...

Customer photo review of Plum Limited Edition PETG Filament 1.75mm 1kg

Rhonda L.

We purchased the Burgundy and Plum colored PETG filament and both colors have performed well on our Creality 3D Printer. The only thing that concerns me with the two colors is that they are considered part of California Filament's "Limited Edition" for fall. Hopefully they will be made part of their regular inventory. We have ordered more of the plum colored filament which we believe is the highest compliment we can give the product. Unfortunately, the burgundy colored filament is listed as "...

Michael B.

This stuff looks amazing! Printed using Bambu P1S - I had to do a flow rate calibration for this filament as it behaved slightly differently than the regular black PETG - once new values were put in amazing quality print. I print sideways on a lot of my prints, so the layer lines are the primary exposure area, and this stuff looks way better than the regular black PETg. Also very impressed with California Filament's service, quality of shipping / packaging, winding of the spools, moisture leve...

At first I started printing the PETG with normal settings and I keep getting stringing issues then realized to adjust to what the package was at 210 and it printed beautifully

When they say Matte Black, they mean it. It almost looks like a carbon fiber type finish. Very impressed. Printed on a Kobra 3 with pre loaded PETG settings. Temp at 225. Looks great and is super strong. This has 25% infill. I stood on it and no breakage. Very good filament.

PETG from California Filament printed perfectly in all my tests on my new AnyCubic Kobra S1 Combo! Once I figured out the supports I was able to print the best sphere I have ever done. So happy with the material that I ordered another roll and will come back for more. Good to deal with a company that focuses on one filament!

Customer photo review of Marble PETG Filament 1.75mm 1kg

Kyle G.

Overall great quality. I love the white marble color. I pre dried the PETG before printing with my creality drier. Ran a bunch of custom cup holders on my Bambu A1. Worked good with the AMS light. Will definitely order again. I wish there was an option for faster shipping if needed for a rush order, maybe there is and I missed it. Will order again.

Customer photo review of Wheat Limited Edition PETG Filament 1.75mm 1kg

Nelson A.

Really enjoy this brand and the quality of their filament. The wheat color came exactly as described and havent ran into any issues printing with it. The matte green is a bit tricky (they state that clearly in the description) but still worth a try and when I had issues with that color they went above and beyond to get me a replacement. Will definitly be back for more.

I needed a filament stronger than PLA and decided to switch to PETG. This filament has performed flawlessly. I have now used 2 rolls and no problems! I will definitely continue to use.

I needed an off white filament to replace the 60+ year old plastic knobs in my car. The print came out great and printed better than my PLA test pieces.

Love this filament. I will recommend you dry the hell out of it though. I use PETG pretty exclusively and this has been one filament where it’s pretty might and day not drying it. I do wish that the spool was like a little more durable because one drop by accident and it’s donzo

Fun project. A conceptual model of a geothermal well complex for a friend of mine. California Filament marble, candy red, blue and black. Oh…. And about 6 grams of fishing weights to keep it up right.

Antonio R.

I am new to California Filament. Having said that, I have found all their filaments ( I have 11 colors so far ) to print great!. They are wound very cleanly on the spool. And they all have printed beautifully. I have a Bambi P1P. My settings have been 230/ 78. Without an enclosure at room temperature. My first layer I set down at 245/78. I am so looking forward to adding more colors. I highly recommend!

I decided to do a test print after some initial calibration of the filament and the results are fantastic. I've still got some more calibration to do to fully dial this in, but I'm quite impressed. I'll definitely purchase this filament again and look forward to trying the Matte Black in the next few days.

The actual color of this filament is spot on. I am living the print quality. Right out of the box it's smooth and shiny. Also had an issue with USPS lagging on updating the tracking and California Filament immediately shipped a replacement. Will be back for more!

Great price and fabulous quality... If you dial in the printer settings. After drying a spool, I had to lower the temperature or it would just not print well. Glad I found that out!

Great Packaging! I haven't gotten to use it yet BUT! While I was going through my filament I noticed and with the dessicant and resealable package plus the samples I received i know it will be good! Great color selection as well. I'll be updating review and using it to print soon will update review.

Over the past few years, I have been using California Filament. Initially, I sought a more stable alternative to PLA. PETG appealed to me due to its superior wear resistance and lower heat sensitivity. However, after reading reviews of individuals encountering challenges with PETG printing in general, I was somewhat apprehensive. Nevertheless, after experimenting with California Filament and achieving satisfactory prints, I have exclusively used it.

I pretty much exclusively use this Matte Black Filament for anything I 3D print. It prints easily on my cheap Ender 3 pro printer and gives a nice high end appearance that matches all of my electronics. If you don't like that glossy sheen of most black filament, give this a try. I go about 5 degrees lower than regular filament and has worked without issues.

Adam S.

I really like this filament. They have neon colors in PETG, unlike most other brands. The filament produces high quality prints. Do make sure to keep your filament dry for the best results! All the rolls I have bought come dried though. When you dry the rolls, make sure to not dry them at too high of a temperature! My dehydrator had a bad thermometer so I dried it too hot, which can result in the filament welding itself. BUT, this is with any filament, and this was strictly user error, and is...

Abraham M.

I'd been through ~5 rolls of Bambu, going round and round trying to debug it. I knew the machine worked, as I'd printed California in the past but stopped due to cardboard spool/AMS issues. Anyway, after fighting blobs on the nozzle, overhangs, under extrusion and holes in the walls I in desperation tried CalFil again... And like magic I started getting great parts. I've been using an online profile but slowly making it my own.... But I'm so relieved I'll be able to finish my project now! Basic...

Before moving to primarily printing in PETG, Matte PLA was my go to. This is the second Matte PETG product I've tried. I had a terrible experience with the first one Matte PETG I tried from another brand. This filament has been a pleasure to print with so far. After calibrating the filament my first few prints have come out great on a bambu x1c. Very excited to add this filament to my list of options.

Needed to print some Prusa parts for an upgrade. The one on the right is another brand that I was originally using and the left is California filament. This was so good that I reprinted everything all over again because I loved this orange so much better. This is my new favorite filament ! Thank you

Love these 5kg rolls of petg. Have used black and white so far. Both have printed great in multiple machines. Hardest thing about using these rolls was printing a spool holder big enough to support and easily unwind them without over taxing the extruders.

Tom F.

Best PETG yet. Issues with printing PETG on my new Bambu Lab X1C solved. Printed right out of the box perfectly. Didn't even need to dry it first. Won't be using anything else from now on. After spending so much time designing and developing a project, the last thing you need is to have issues printing it. California PETG is a no-brainer.
