3D Printing Filament
3D Printing Signage Filament in Translucent Clear Color
Model TR-CL
Clear PETG-S passes the most light of any colour in the range, which makes it the base for faces that will be tinted by the LED rather than by the material. It is also what you print when a client wants the letter to read as glass by day and as pure colour by night.
- Highest light transmission in the range for the brightest lit face
- Colour of the sign can be set by the LED instead of the filament
- Reads as clear glass in daylight and as pure LED colour at night
- One clear stock can serve many brand colours when paired with RGB lighting
Product Overview
Clear PETG-S passes the most light of any colour in the range, which makes it the base for faces that will be tinted by the LED rather than by the material. It is also what you print when a client wants the letter to read as glass by day and as pure colour by night.
Who It Is For
- Sign makers building colour changing signs
- Workshops that want one face stock for many colours
- Advertising companies producing glass effect lettering
Problems It Solves
- Coloured faces fix the sign to one colour for its whole life
- Dark translucent colours cut brightness and need more LED to compensate
- Stocking every brand colour in filament ties up capital

- Colour checked against the reference sample for each batch
- Each roll vacuum bagged then packed 12 rolls per export carton
Comparison With Other Options
Compared with Translucent white
White diffuses light evenly and hides the LEDs. Clear transmits more light but shows the diodes unless the face is designed for it.
Compared with Coloured translucent filament
A coloured face is fixed. A clear face with RGB lighting can change colour after installation.
Use Guide
- Pair clear faces with RGB strip when a colour changing sign is wanted
- Increase face wall thickness or add texture if diode hotspots are visible
- Test one letter before committing a set to a clear face
- Keep the platform clean because marks show through a clear print
Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to what buyers ask before ordering 3D Printing Signage Filament in Translucent Clear Color.
Is a clear face brighter than a coloured one
Yes. Clear transmits more light than any tinted colour in the range.
Will the LEDs be visible through a clear face
They can be. Design the face thickness accordingly or choose translucent white when even diffusion matters more than brightness.
Can one clear stock replace several colours
With an RGB strip the sign colour is set by the lighting, so one clear face can serve many brand colours.
Is clear suitable outdoors
Yes, with the same 5 to 10 year outdoor durability as the rest of the PETG-S range.
What is the minimum order quantity
1 roll for stocked colours. A customised colour has a minimum of 100 rolls.
How is the filament packed for export
Each roll goes into a vacuum bag and 12 rolls are packed per standard export carton, at 440 x 440 x 220 MM.
What warranty applies
One year quality warranty on all products with lifetime technical support.
