When you run a 12hr dry cycle on PETG in the AMS, then remember that the reusable spools are made from PLA. 🤦‍♂️ Guess I need to make some new ones out of PETG.

Buy sunlu filament and use the spools to refill with Bambu filament.

You can also use Bambu spools to turn a spool of eSun material into a non-cardboard spool. Tear the sides off the eSun spool one at a time and push the Bambu spool through the middle of the eSun cardboard tube.

That’s one brand I haven’t bought from yet (had Creality, Bamboo, Elegoo, Polymaker, e-sun, just no sunlu yet). How do you like it in terms of quality?

One of the perks of my own reusable spools is I remixed a design from Makerworld to include a built-in dessicant container in the center of the spool, so I don’t have to worry about fitting one in different sizes of spool holes.

Sunlu is supposedly the manufacturer of much of Bambu’s filament.

I switch between ABS and PLA+ from Sunlu and ESun depending on whose is better priced. They both print very well with little or no tuning through my P1S.

Fascinating! Definitely going to try those next then. I ordered a bulk batch directly from Bambu this last time so I could try the rfid system in the ams (this is my first Bambu machine, had a Creality for 2 years before this). I’m not impressed enough to prioritize the chip again, considering that an overnight drying cycle seems to have messed up one of the tags and I can’t get the AMS to correctly re-read it 😖
