Filament Swatches (2nd Edition?)

I purchased the original set of filament swatches a couple weeks ago, and it’s been super useful for planning out projects.

I was wondering if Bambu Labs might consider releasing a second set of swatches to cover the rest of their materials? I’d love to have samples of their entire catalog to make purchasing decisions easier.

The original swatch set has 80 samples, and (if I counted correctly) there are about 73 other materials/colors Bambu Labs offers that aren’t included with the swatch set currently available.

I know the rest of the materials are generally more expensive and geared towards engineering, but I wouldn’t mind even paying $20-30 for a new swatch bundle if it included everything else, like all the TPUs, translucent, carbon fiber, metal, glow-in-the-dark, nylon materials, etc.

Agree! Particularly now that they’re discontinuing PLA Tough.

I agree. I’d like swatches of the other materials so I can decide which one’s I’d like to purchase.

Yes! Not only that, but the colors are incorrect on some of the swatches for the exact same product code. While this could be another thread, I figured that it was in the realm of asking for more filament swatches, so I tagged on here.

For example, look at the PLA Basic -10100 at the top left. That color is the same color used to print the plate that it’s pressed into. It’s clearly not the same color. I mean, if the swatches aren’t the same color, then what’s the purpose of having them?

Completely agree here! I’m just printing out some swatch display boards and deciding how many to print. Should I throw the Tough PLA swatches out? What’s the point if they aren’t for sale anymore. And now if I can’t rely on the colors to be the same if I order them :man_shrugging:

2nd Edition would be a great idea.

They are still for sale. Got a set beginning this week.
