There have been many changes in the filament market over the last few years that haven’t really caught on and Bambu can change that and profit. For example:
PCTG filament popped on the scene recently, but only one brand makes it and it’s 40 bucks a spool. It’s become my favorite filament, as it outperforms PETG in every way, and I literally printed it once with PLA settings accidentally and it worked fine? But damn, it’s really expensive. Bambu could really popularize this stuff and help saturate the market so it can become more mainstream because it really needs to be. It prints like BUTTER.
Another filament making waves is PEBA. I’ve never printed it but have heard some awesome things about it, and again, Bambu could make this and profit greatly. It’s a flexible filament becoming more popular for its outstanding energy return.
PVA filament is a new one too. It’s a IPA smoothable plastic insole live to see Bambu making as it’s really cool.
Finally there was something I was thinking about that I wanted to share. Recently as we all know Polymaker dropped their HT PLA that can withstand insane temps. Also recently Bambu dropped their new PLA touch which they claim is 3x Tougher than ABS. Now I’m no scientist… but why can’t we jus combine the additives in both of these filaments to make a PLA that can be printed in the cheapest of printers that you can make literal Vorons out of? Like an easy ABS replacement. Now I’m no scientist and I imagine that it’s not as easy as just throwing both additives together but it was just a thought of mine.
