I’m looking for 1.75mm Browning/Cappuccino Color PET-G Filament
It will be used to print a lamp shade, and thus, must be somewhat transparent, but with the brownish color to it.

Any suggestions sourced in Europe?

If you print it thin walled it will help transparency but be more fragile of course. If you have a 2 color setup you could print the internal structure in clear and the side walls in brown, but it would take a long time with wipes before outer walls. Infill lower or in specific patterns may help or hurt transparency depending on settings. Concentric might work best for less diffraction and scattering, allowing the light shortest path out without a lot of redirection. Good luck I am sure it will look great eventually :o)

Thanks for your suggestion, it’s worth a try.
However if anyone knows if PLA or PET filament is available, it would be great

The 3D Printing Today podcast guys spent quite a bit of time talking about brown transparent filament for a printed beer bottle. It’s an unusual color. You could look up the episodes to see what Andy used. I vaguely recall it being Winbo or something like that?
