Is it actually see through? The “transparent” filament I’ve used in the past is always pretty opaque.

They normally require to be treated after the print to really get the transparent look

Yeah, the transparent PLA I have is more crystal than transparent. It lets light shine through, so handy for encasing a status LED, but at any reasonable thickness it's too cloudy / obscured to make out details through.

But I have seen success printing truly transparent panels and things using PETG / PCTG.
