Bambu AMS Spool Size Compatibility

Since October 2023, the 3D-Fuel filaments have been manufactured using an AMS-compliant spool (more info on our spool sizes and weights).

Additional 3D-Fuel Information

Quality:
All 3D-Fuel 3D printer filament is manufactured in the United States. We have complete control over the manufacturing process and can ensure consistent quality for every spool. Learn more about 3D-Fuel filament quality.

 

Diameter Tolerance:
Variable 3D filament diameters can cause significant problems in your 3D printer. We use a multi-axis laser measurement system to control our filament diameter and ovality in real time during production.

 

Packing Information:
A full 1kg (2.2 lbs) of Pro PCTG plastic filament arrives on a durable plastic spool with dimensions that are compatible with the Bambu Lab AMS. The reel is vacuum-sealed with a desiccant packet to keep out moisture.

 

Test Printing: 
The 3D-Fuel test lab features multiple brands of 3D printers, including Bambu Lab, Creality3D, Prusa, Elegoo, and more. We use what we manufacture in our internal 3D printing operations to ensure that our filament provides the best quality possible.

Question *

What makes Pro PCTG better than PETG?

Pro PCTG is up to 30x tougher than PETG, offering superior impact resistance, higher clarity, and better chemical resistance while maintaining the same ease of printing.

Does Pro PCTG require an enclosed printer?

No! Pro PCTG prints just like PETG and does not require an enclosure, making it easy to use on open-frame printers.

 

That said, you can maximize your part toughness and reduce warping from drafts by using an enclosure.

Is Pro PCTG moisture-sensitive?

It has a lower moisture absorption rate than PETG, but for best results, store it in a dry, sealed container when not in use.

Can Pro PCTG be used for outdoor applications?

Yes! With high impact resistance and strong chemical durability, Pro PCTG is great for functional parts, outdoor components, and industrial use.

Is Pro PCTG food-safe?

The resin that we use for manufacturing Pro PCTG is FDA approved for food contact and PCTG is a material commonly used in water bottles.

 

While PCTG is generally considered safer than many other 3D printing materials, food safety depends on additives and printing conditions. We recommend checking specific regulations before using it for food-related applications.
