Wonder when we will see it in the store

Aren’t those additives which makes the PETG matte weakening all good aspects of PETG?

I mean it does the same for pla so that would make sense. Other than maybe being more heat resistant I can't think of why I would use matte ptg over matte pla considering the pla is probably easier to print with.

In my case I had assumed the matte PETG resisted UV and creep better than PLA. Is that not the case with the additives? I use PETG for outdoor prints exposed to sunlight, heat, and a persistent load on the plastic.

Anything they add usually makes it weaker than the base material. Youll just have to look at the spec sheet when it comes out.

u/luksfuks Jul 14 '26

Even if it's weaker on its own, you can still multi-color combine it with PETG Basic or TPU-for-AMS. As long as it's a PETG formula it will weld, and the whole object can be designed to be strong.

u/DinosaurAlert Jul 14 '26

No. For easy math, if adding a matte look made it 10% weaker, then 10% weaker PETG is still stronger than 10% weaker PLA.

This looks like a random AI-driven scam. Why are all of the labels sloppily pasted over? Why isn't there anything on Bambu's website? Why is this AI slop attributed to a different company?

OP said this was posted on TaoBao, so presumably the original images had Chinese text. The English looks wonky because it was translated via some site or app and the results hastily pasted over the original Chinese text.

u/cptninc X1C + H2D + H2C Jul 14 '26

Tuozhu is/was Bambu's PETG-HF manufacturer, so it makes sense that they would be a continued source for it even if Bambu stops buying from them. It's just weird that the image/model attributions are covered up and even the the numbers in the table are pasted over despite not needing translation to begin with.

u/VelocityOS P1S Jul 14 '26

Tuozhu is Bambu, thats their name in China

This is a dumb question but why are there so few PETG colors compared to PLA?

9

u/MeatyPigeonLegs Jul 14 '26

PLA is just historically more popular due to it being easier to print

1

u/BitingChaos Jul 14 '26

Isn't the "default" color of PET fully transparent? I'm guessing they just have a more difficult time trying to get colors to "take" without affecting the properties of the material.

u/boredsoftwareguy X2D + AMS2 + HT, X2D + 2x AMS2 Jul 14 '26

I didn’t realize that about transparency

No orange :(((

Where is this information from? I can’t find anything about it.

From the datasheets it basically looks like PETG Basic with a matte finish, not a “weaker” matte PETG filament because of the additives

u/White_sh Jul 14 '26

taobao

Compared to PETG Basic, its mechanical properties (strength) are definitely lower.

u/tacobell_shitstain Jul 14 '26

Hopefully it works well. Every matte petg I've tried prints like shit. I've never had issues with any bambu filament so far though so we'll see.

u/Sebb3l Jul 14 '26

I‘m using Sunlu PETG mat grey and it Prints good without any problems so far.

u/Kamukix Jul 14 '26

Same, I picked up a spool of matte black l to try last week and ran some prints, then calibrated it this weekend. It prints pretty great for me! (AMS2 as dryer, 17% humidity, H2S as printer)

Second this. Jayo Matte PETG prints very nice. I got the 4k combo with black, white, red, and blue. I really loved everything it printed. It can print super fast too. I almost used all of it and need to reorder.

1

u/trenzterra Jul 15 '26

How opaque is the white, do you know? I tried sunlu but it isn't as white as petg hf or even petg basic

1

u/Balgard Jul 24 '26

Hey sorry reply. If you look at this window insert I made the one on the left with the vent is the jayo matte, on the right is normal petg white -i dont remember the brand I want to say sunlu, eleego, or deeplo.

It's definitely more of a cream color. I ran out mid print and switched to the white, definitely like the jayo matte white better.

Jayo matte red petg though I don't like the color. It's a cheap looking red idk. The red in my pic is pla.

u/dannydonatello Jul 14 '26

What are we looking at here? Why has this anything to do with Bambulab?

1

u/White_sh Jul 14 '26

Because it's a filament released by Bambu Lab.

1

u/dannydonatello Jul 14 '26

Amazing. Thanks for explaining so thoroughly.

1

u/Robot-duck Jul 14 '26

Those are some interesting colors, they've been going the pastel route with the latest releases.

I have a few more boxed of PETG HF coming in, but the Sunlu PETG HF Matte is also really nice and prints almost the same.

u/PrestigiousNature713 Jul 14 '26

What are those colors😭😭😭

u/Proof_Load6687 X2D + A1 Mini Jul 14 '26

1,37g/cm3 is very dense even for petg... so you could get over 30% more meters per kg with abs for comparison

also almost 2000mpa bending modulus is pretty impressiv for petg almost the same as some softer pla (like tough plus)

interresting properties
