PMMA (Polymethyl Methacrylate) Filament – Transparent

PMMA, also known as Acrylic or Plexiglass, is a specialty 3D printing filament known for its high optical clarity, rigidity, and weather resistance. This filament is ideal for applications requiring a glass-like appearance, offering a glossy finish with excellent light transmission. It’s a great alternative to polycarbonate for transparent or translucent parts that need aesthetic appeal as well as strength.

Key Benefits

• Excellent Optical Clarity: Produces transparent, glossy prints with high light transmittance.
• High Rigidity & Hardness: Maintains form under stress, ideal for load-bearing parts and display pieces.
• Weather & UV Resistance: Performs well in outdoor environments and resists yellowing over time.

Recommended Applications

• Lighting covers and diffusers
• Display cases and decorative items
• Prototypes that require transparent visuals
• Protective panels and signage

Recommended Print Settings

• Nozzle Temperature: 245–265°C
• Bed Temperature: 90–110°C
• Enclosure: Recommended for optimal layer adhesion and print quality
• Cooling: Low or off to prevent cracking

Note: PMMA can be sensitive to warping. For best results, use with a fully enclosed printer and adhere parts to the build surface with an appropriate adhesive or bed treatment.

PMMA filament is your go-to choice for clear, durable, and professional-looking parts where visual quality and environmental durability are top priorities.
