How to get the most out of your PLA
RFID and AMS
Bambu Lab filament has an RFID chip. Your AMS recognises the colour and print settings automatically.
The right nozzle
PLA Glow and PLA-CF need a hardened steel nozzle. Bambu Lab also recommends one for PLA Sparkle and PLA Marble.
Store it dry
Store PLA dry and airtight, ideally below 20% humidity. Has it absorbed moisture? Then dry it, for example in an AMS 2 Pro or AMS HT.
Print settings
Bambu Studio has a profile for every Bambu Lab filament. Each product page lists the recommended settings and links to the Bambu Lab wiki.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Which PLA should I choose as a beginner?
Start with PLA Basic: reliable, easy to print and available in 30 colours. For a more matte look, choose PLA Matte. If you mainly print for the home, have a look at PLA Pure, which is tested for food contact and toy safety.
Do I need a special nozzle?
Not for most PLA. PLA Glow and PLA-CF are abrasive and need a hardened steel nozzle. Bambu Lab also recommends one for PLA Sparkle and PLA Marble. Do not use a 0.2 mm nozzle for PLA Sparkle, PLA Marble, PLA Galaxy, PLA Wood, PLA Translucent, PLA Glow or PLA-CF.
Does every PLA filament work in the AMS?
Almost all of them, including in the AMS lite. PLA Glow does not work in the AMS lite, and Bambu Lab advises against the AMS lite for PLA Wood. PLA Aero is fairly soft: if it won’t load, use the printer’s spool holder. Bambu Lab does not recommend PLA Silk Multi-Color for the A series.
Can I order a colour that is out of stock?
No, you can only order what is actually in stock. Each product page shows how many units of each colour are available. If a colour is temporarily unavailable, ask to be notified on the product page or get in touch with us.
How fast is delivery?
In-stock items are usually delivered within 1 to 3 working days in Belgium. Collection in Aalst is also possible.
