PCTG Transparent diffuser (led panel)

Bambu Lab H2D
1

Hi all,

This is my first rodeo into PCTG transparent filament on the h2d. Looking to make a flat, thin (can be between 1mm-4mm)diffuser for an LED panel an experiment with thickness. Looking to be able to “fine tune” the amount of transparency (would love to get as close to 100% as possible) and then be able to work my way down and experiment with the best ways to diffuse/scatter the light.

PCTG is dried and ready to roll!

Any tips and tricks are more than welcome!

I have seen really clear prints using translucent PETG and videos on how to print it clear.
A bit of polishing the parts could make them just about perfect from what I have seen,
Don’t know about using PCTG but I suppose some of the tricks would work on that material too…

Hi,

You can get some starting settings and tips from Stefan:

I advise calibrating the filament; by doing so, you get to see how it performs.
If you have the time, please share your experience and results as they are likely interesting for others.
Good rodeo!
