I often wondered if Pollymaker makes filament for bambu.
Thank you for the reply Bambu Lab!
Next gen xl printer probably has a bed that goes to 120c and 350c ish hotend.
Hmm thatâs surprising haha when you look at default preloaded filament profiles on any Bambu series printer, youâll notice polymaker is one of the brands.
eSun as well
The available profiles âpolicyâ is strange.
They have listed Overture PLA and Matte PLA but not ABS.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this as a filament dryer for PPA CF?
When I got the email, that Bambulab released a new ppa cf filament, I was relaxing in my garden and drinking an ice coffee.
When I read it is 100% stiffer than pa cf I ordered it immediately, because I know it would sell out quickly. I dried it about 18 hours at 60°C and it printed the benchy very well! Even no visible hull line! printed on Bambulab X1C without any mods. Just set the bed too 100°C and activated aux fan for about 25 minutes to reach around 42°C before printing.

So how big of a MakerWorld fine can I issue to Bambu? Intrigued, I had a look at this material, only to find my model being used on the landing page without attribution anywhere that I could see.

It looks great.
Lucky you. I am anxious to get my hands on a spool.
Except for the cost, it seems to be the filament I wished for. Iâm hoping it will be in stock soon.
Thanks for sharing.

Bambu filaments are incredibly expensive in my country. About the price of Esun or Creality x 3. So I canât try it. Why these prices?
Are you referring to PPA-CF?

Yep and all Bambu filaments. There are so expensive 
The high cost is expected for PPA-CF. This isnât a typical material.
I didnt know that ESUN or CREALITY commercialised this material; I checked their website and couldnât find it.

The second round of PPA-CF pre sales just went live on the US store.
This is what I use, it will take up to 120C before any severe softening problems. The double bubble really helps protect the container from the heat if you do it right.
this is what i use. The containerâs max temp is 140C before severe softening occurs, but the double bubble insulation protects it pretty well from that if you ensure your seams are tight. Use a high temp spray glue.
What is the heat source that you use with that bin?
A few things - I would never dry filament in a cooking oven. Plasticizers and such can come out of the filament and deposit on cooler surfaces in your oven, then get revolatilized the next time you cook to a higher temperature.
Also, natural gas stoves are high humidity because burning natural gas has CO2 and H2O as reaction products. Bakers and cooks often use a gas oven when they want a high humidity cook environment. In electrics, you add a pan of water when you want to do the same thing when cooking foods.
Most household stoves arenât vented to the outside. Youâre breathing the other oil and chemical byproducts entrained in the gas burning byproducts too.
A possible reason Bambu is discouraging X1C drying is because drying in the print chamber is subject to the limitations of ambient humidity. Ambient humidity puts a limit on how low of a filament water content you can dry to and how quick you can get there.
If folks want to hit low humidity and low filament water content, and as side benefits do it at lower temperature and faster, a dry air purge into a filament dryer really works. It works like a charm.
This is my model to disclose conflict of interest in recommending, but if people need to hit low water contents, this is a way to do it. My prints are beauty now because Iâve combined this with poly cereal box storage with hygrometers to monitor the environments in the poly containers. Not one has come up over a 10% reading (the lowest these hygrometers can read).

you may need a beefier heater, I have never tried to get mine up to 100c, but it gets to 70c no problem
