Has anyone had experience with printing ESD filament on the Bambu HS2 printer? I will be predominantly printing items for use in a electronics lab so things need to be as antistatic as posable. Would the H2S be capable of printing this type of filament.- Polymaker Fiberon PETG-ESD Any help would be …
Looking at the printing parameters, they all fall within the specs of the H2S.
I don’t have any experience with printing this material though.
But taking into account that it’s a variant of PETG it can’t be that hard to print.

As @Gerrit said, the H2S shouldn’t have any issues printing that filament. I will however say that with proper board grounding, ESD shouldn’t really be a concern. I’ve printed a lot of electronics enclosures and have never had a board die from ESD. If you are looking to get something certified as an enclosure I would suggest looking at filament with flame retardant certification as this is required for electronics enclosures.
Tested to meet the UL 94-2023 V-0 standard, the top level of flame resistance for 3D printing filament, Bambu PC FR is engineered to prevent or slow flame propagation with exceptional self-extinguishing properties. Ideal for critical applications in electronics, automotive, and mechanical engineering.
* UL 94 is a plastics flammability standard established by Underwriters Laboratories (USA). V-0—the highest UL 94 V rating—indicates that burning stops within 10 seconds on a vertically positioned specimen, with dripping particles allowed as long as they are not ignited.
Should be no issue. Looks like it is fairly flexible for printing and should be able to load through Ams.
Not the strongest material.
If he’s printing trays that hold components, then they definitely need to be ESD protected.
But even well-grounded electronics need ESD protection if any connector fingers or components are exposed during handling. ESD charges can build up to amazingly high voltages. The products I make in my real-world job have to be able to withstand 4KV discharges to any exposed connector or component. It’s called the “Human Body” model because: humans can deliver those kinds of discharges.
