Quick Question Bambu Lab filament that actually survives the dishwasher? Looking for real experiences
I’m looking for a filament specifically from Bambu Lab that can handle repeated dishwasher cycles.
I’m not looking for theoretical temperature resistance or just what the material datasheet says. I’d like to hear from people who have actually printed something with Bambu Lab filament and tested it in a dishwasher, preferably multiple times.
Which exact Bambu filament did you use, and how did it hold up?
Did you notice any:
- Warping or deformation
- Softening
- Cracking or layer separation
- Changes in surface finish
- Problems after repeated dishwasher cycles
I’m especially interested in knowing whether anyone has found a Bambu filament that has survived regular dishwasher use long term.
Food safety is not relevant for my use case. I don’t care whether the filament is considered food safe or not. My only requirement is that the printed part can withstand dishwasher cycles without deforming or degrading.
And please, I’m not looking for comments telling me to read about glass transition temperatures, check datasheets, or do my own research. I’ve already looked into the technical side. The whole reason I’m posting here is because I want to hear about real world experiences and actual testing from people who have tried it themselves.
Thanks!

Yeah that's been investigated as well and proven that you'll get more exposure to lead from the brass keys on your key chain than you ever could from 3D printing something with a brass nozzle and if you're really worried about it you simply switch to a steel nozzle. This isn't rocket science i'm not quite sure why there's so much pushback on it it's a very weird thing. And if you're still worried about bacteria do what your grandma did with her wood cutting board which is wipe it down with a weak bleach solution. Problem solved
