Folded lamp shade

Our brand new PETG Economy allows for easy prototyping. With the Lulzbot MOARstruder one can also print faster, making prototyping even more efficient. Sometimes you don’t need too many details to get the job done. Today’s featured print is the folded lamp shade by H. Langemark, which we printed with PETG Economy Red:

Printed on the Lulzbot TAZ6 with the MOARstruder, The layer height was 0.3mm and we printed at 60mm per second at 240 degrees C.

We have received a lot of requests for PETG in our portfolio and have recently added PETG Economy to our portfolio. We initially started with 3 colors: Black, White and Red.

All of these are available exclusively on 2.2kg spools. You can buy PETG Economy here. Also available now, the PETG Economy value pack – four spools of PETG Economy at an even lower price! Available here.

colorFabb Economy: Large volume, High quality, Low price

colorFabb’s Economy line is developed for users who need a lot of filament. By adding a specifically sourced PETG to our portfolio we are adding more functionality and diversity to our range of filaments.

As with PLA Economy we have extensively tested this filament in our print lab. Both in production and print lab we have adhered to the highest colorFabb quality – this is something we simply do not compromise on.

The idea behind these filaments is to keep it at a very competitive price. Retail price of PETG Economy is € 40 excluding VAT and shipping. This works out to be a little over € 18 per kg for high quality filament.
