Do I need a spool to use this refill?

Yes. It comes as a refill without a spool, so you need a reusable Bambu spool or another spool that accepts refills.

Which printers does it fit?

It is 1.75 mm filament and works with Bambu Lab X1, P1P, P1S and A1 series printers, and with most other 1.75 mm FDM printers.

Is PETG harder to print than PLA?

Yes. PETG needs a hotter nozzle and slower first layers, and it strings more, but it is tougher and more heat- and UV-resistant than PLA.

Can I use it outdoors?

Yes. PETG resists water, UV and temperature changes, which makes it a reasonable choice for outdoor parts.

Does the RFID work on non-Bambu printers?

No. The RFID tag only feeds settings to Bambu printers with AMS; other printers need manual settings.

How should I store it?

Keep it vacuum-sealed or in a dry box with desiccant. Moisture causes stringing and popping during printing.

About the Bambu Lab Translucent PETG Filament Refill

This is a translucent PETG 3D printer filament sold as a refill. It has a diameter of 1.75mm +/- 0.03mm. It is compatible with Bambu Lab X1, P1P, P1S and A1 series printers and most 1.75mm FDM printers.

The filament is translucent with good light transmittance. It is impact resistant, water resistant, UV resistant and resistant to temperature changes, so it can be used outdoors. It minimizes stringing, clumping, nozzle sticking and leaking, and it has minimal warping and reliable dimensional stability. It can be printed at speeds up to 300mm/s.

An RFID tag stores all the printing parameters for the AMS. The filament is vacuum-sealed with desiccant for moisture protection. Dry it before use at 65 °C for 8 hours, and keep humidity below 20% RH. Store it in a dry, cool place.
