Rev1 PETG Matte Matte Finish. PETG Toughness. No Enclosure Needed.

Glossy PETG is tough and durable, but its shiny surface makes layer lines stand out. Rev1 PETG Matte uses a matting additive in the formulation so the surface scatters light diffusely — you keep PETG’s strength, impact resistance, and heat tolerance while gaining a consistent flat finish that hides layer lines in every color. Durable enough for real parts, and it looks finished the moment it leaves the printer.

Why a matte PETG matters

Glossy filament reflects light unevenly, making layer lines, stringing, and surface imperfections visible under any angled light. A matte surface scatters light uniformly, hiding the texture of print layers and giving parts a clean, professional appearance — and with PETG underneath, the part is genuinely functional, not just decorative.

• Diffuse surface hides layer lines and minor surface artifacts
• No sanding, painting, or filler primer required
• Consistent matte finish across all 6 colors
• PETG toughness — stronger and less brittle than PLA Matte

PETG Matte carries PETG’s mechanical baseline: tough and impact-resistant, more flexible and far less brittle than PLA or PLA Matte, with better heat resistance and good chemical and moisture resistance. That makes it a genuine step up for functional parts — for the highest heat or UV exposure consider ABS or ASA, and for maximum stiffness step up to a carbon-fiber grade from the Rev1 catalog.

Key property summary

• Tensile strength: ~45–55 MPa (typical PETG range)
• Flexural modulus: ~2.0–2.1 GPa — strong and tough for functional housings and fixtures
• Elongation at break: ~5–15% — far more ductile and impact-resistant than PLA
• HDT: ~70–80°C — handles warm environments PLA Matte cannot
• Density: ~1.27 g/cm³ — plus good chemical and moisture resistance

Rev1 PETG Matte prints on any FDM machine with a standard 0.4 mm brass nozzle and no enclosure. It runs slightly hotter than PLA — if you have a working PETG profile, use it as a starting point. PETG can string a little; a touch more retraction and a small travel-speed bump keep it clean and let the matte finish come through evenly.

Recommended print settings

Nozzle temperature

230–250°C

Bed temperature

70–90°C

Enclosure

Not required

Print speed

30–60 mm/s

Layer height

0.1–0.3 mm

Cooling fan

30–60%

For the cleanest matte finish, use 3–4 perimeters and tune retraction to minimize stringing. A 0.4 mm brass nozzle is all you need — no all-metal hot end or hardened nozzle required.

Because PETG Matte prints at standard PETG temperatures with a 0.4 mm brass nozzle, it is fully compatible with any desktop FDM printer that accepts 1.75 mm filament — no enclosure, no all-metal hot end, no specialty hardware needed.

Verified compatible printer families

• Bambu Lab (A-series, P-series, X-series) — use Generic PETG profile
• Creality (Ender, CR, K-series)
• Prusa (MK-series, MINI)
• Ultimaker / Makerbot
• Raise3D, Dremel, Qidi Tech
• Any open-format FDM printer accepting 1.75 mm

PETG Matte excels where a part has to be functional and look good — enclosures, functional prototypes, brackets, organizers, consumer-product housings, planters, and display pieces. You get PETG’s strength, impact resistance, and heat tolerance with a non-glare matte surface that hides layer lines, so parts hold up in real-world use instead of just sitting on a shelf.

Common use cases

• Enclosures and consumer-product housings
• Functional prototypes and fit-check parts
• Brackets, mounts, and load-bearing fixtures
• Desk organizers and storage trays
• Planters and pots
• Phone, tablet, and equipment stands
• Display pieces and presentation models

PETG is hygroscopic and will absorb moisture from the air, leading to stringing, bubbling, and reduced surface quality. Rev1 PETG Matte ships sealed with a desiccant pack. After opening, reseal with desiccant or store in an airtight container.

Storage & drying guide

• Storage: Sealed bag or airtight container with desiccant
• Ideal humidity: below 20% RH
• Shelf life (sealed): 12–24 months
• Drying (if wet): 60–65°C for 4–6 hours in a filament dryer or oven
• Signs of moisture: popping/crackling sounds during print, rough surface, blobs

PETG Matte gives you the best of both: the flat, no-glare surface of a matte filament with the toughness and heat resistance of PETG. It out-durables PLA Matte and hides layer lines better than glossy PETG — the right pick for parts that need to look finished and stand up to real use.
