BambuLab PLA Basic vs PLA Tough vs PLA-CF

[@DigIntoGaming]

OK no joke, I LITERALLY was just looking for a good pla vs pla carbon fiber test. I cannot believe that this video was only posted 7 hours ago. Its like God himself orchestrated this!

[@InaMopar]

Same

[@hayden199516]

I’ve had many experiences exactly like this. It’s like KZbin is reading my mind.

[@BennyTygohome]

Very interesting thank you. Looking forward to PETG tests. *You're the "project farm" of filament testing

[@MyTechFun]

Thanks for the compliment, I love that channel.

[@tuxflyer]

Oh, you were checking the comments in the other video. ;-) Thank You, Your channel is one of the best sources for 3D printing Your work is extraordinary. Nobody is taking that much time for standardized testing than you.

[@MyTechFun]

Yes I do, but this work was in the progress anyway.

[@trumplovesyou4133]

Great content. Thank you for testing all these filaments for us. The community greatly appreciates your hard work!

[@MyTechFun]

I am glad you find it useful, I was curious myself too.

[@GeekDetour]

Hi Dr. Igor! Great stuff as always! Man, the impact test really surprised me… I was really expecting the CF NOT to be the most brittle of the three. Looking for the the annealing video. Dimension stability might be the best property of CF PLA in general. One thing is clear: CF looks awesome.

[@MyTechFun]

I checked that impact test (off camera) and same results. BL must be adding something to its filaments, so they are not brittle, and they cannot be brittle, otherwise they would break in AMS after some time. Recently I had a filament break in AMS (with some other brand, old PLA)

[@MirageDU]

It's remarkable how strong all three PLA variants are. I definitely consider Bambu filament next time I need something like that. Btw, my suggestion for the next comparison between the normal and carbon variant of a filament is extrudr Greentech, Greentech Pro & Greentech Pro Carbon.

[@tonyt3484]

As always, you have the best testing videos out there. So informative!!! THANK YOU!!!

[@BrickEngines]

Pla tough prints better than normal for some reason. BRING IT BACK!

[@timhoover1416]

I don't have notifications turned on, but whenever you push out a new video it will show in my list of suggestions. It might be that people have too many channel subscriptions.

[@MyTechFun]

Good to know, thank you for the feedback.

[@rsilvers129]

Of course the advantage of Tough is that it is tough and has better layer adhesion. It wouldn't have better print quality. I am fairly confident upon testing that it is much tougher than PLA Basic. It is an engineering material. You can buy Inland Tough - just slow the flow to 15 for it.

[@NickBR57]

Thanks Igor. Interesting that you find Bambu PLA tougher than others. That implies all this talk of BL filament being the same as Sunlu or eSun is incorrect: it may be made by those companies but if so, it must be to higher specs.

[@peterpeter5666]

Im new to 3d printing but i love bambu filament. it takes the guess work out of printing! I have used bambu 80% of the time and love their filament. I know i can get cheaper pla that will perform just as well but right now withe the discount I dont think you can beat it !

[@riba2233]

Great stuff, thanks! Based on the numbers and impact test I wouldn't be surprised if they use something like polysonic pro for the base material

[@user-wr6st3vj4v]

you save me many time and moneys, thank you professor.

[@TherapyWithWind]

I would like to convey my personal thanks to you Dr. Gaspar for your time, dedication and devotion to all these extremely superb videos. Do you have any recommendations or preferences for increased layer adhesion of parts when printing at higherfaster speeds? I'm genuinely curious about annealing as, I've considered other indirectly proportional variables such as print temp, layer height, etc. Any thoughts or advice is greatly appreciated. Once more, thank you kindly for your time Mr. Igor. Much respect to you from 🇺🇸

[@MyTechFun]

Thank you. Speed vs layer adhesion tested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWS2dJ9pZZd2hpYsi=uIcH3HqMO1YUZe6d And I have a lot of material testing videos in my pocket, only I have to reduce 3D printer product reviews..

[@TherapyWithWind]

@@MyTechFun awesome, that sounds exactly like what I'm looking for! I'm sure it'll be exceptionally thorough as well. Thank you for pointing me to this info! As I'm a recently new subscriber this helps immensely. Cheers to you kind sir.

[@trentvlak]

Thank you sir!

[@MykolaKushnir]

Well thought out test. Thank you very much for such an amazing experiment. Have you ever tested engineering grade materials like nylon cf?

[@michael.knight]

I have a printed tool that will need accurate dimensions and good abrasive resistance, which filament would you recommend? I normally use ASA for this, but at the moment I only have PET-CF, PAHT-CF and PETG-CF. Would you recommend any of those?

[@rajanpanchal3699]

Very helpful! Can you please make a video covering Inland PLA PRO vs Inland PLA + vs Inland Tough PLA?

[@tinymito]

Thanks! Looks like PLA Tough has a small benefit, it costs bit more than PLA. This explain why Bambu is discontinuing it.

[@atnfn]

I wonder if there is another brand of "though" pla that has as strong layer adhesion as bambu tough pla?

[@dekurvajo]

Hi Igor, there is new type of Petg on the market now, called rapid or high speed Petg. I think e-sun and elegoo has it. It would be nice to know if these filaments are indeed can be printed not only on high speed printers like bambu and it's counterparts but on regular printers as well. Since the printing speed bottle neck on regular printers were about the printer's end but the petg filament itself.

[@davidolsson]

Cool. Now they just need to restock them. Almost no pla basic colors available for many weeks.

[@monkeywrench1951]

I wonder if the particles added to matte PLA have the same effect than CF (stiffness).

[@Festivejelly]

invaluable testing but please in future tests do try to test the same colours as the pigments absolutely do affect the properties. I know it might be hard to get the same colour for all, but it is a mistake that a lot of people make then doing these filament tests.

[@uhu4677]

True. Best would be to test everything in its natural color without any pigments. However most manufacturers do not even offer this. So black would probably the color you can get for every filament.

[@MsJellyfan]

you should test sunlu PLA+ thats impressive stuff in my opinion

[@MyTechFun]

I already did and I liked it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZeslmaJfdKYg6M

[@morgan.emanuelsson]

Tack!

[@MyTechFun]

I am glad that you liked the video, Thank you!

[@garagecedric]

Will be interesting to see the annealing, otherwise placf seems kinda pointless, many better alternatives for mechanical parts. Have you seen Addnorths PCCF? I both a roll to see if it really can handle 185degC, seem very good.

[@3DCADdesign]

thx! , további sok sikert!

[@MyTechFun]

Köszönöm :-)

[@chatroux399]

Thank you for this video. The PLA though was much better on the p1s or I'm confusing? Can you check if increasing the temperature on the X1C is enough to compensate?

[@MyTechFun]

In previous video, when I printed on P1P I used different test objects. But in this video I tested layer adhesion P1P vs X1C: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqrbfKV-f7J7eZY

[@chatroux399]

Ha ok my bad, now I understand why results are so differents. I seen this video as well, but I'd like to know by how much degrees I have to increase the temperature to compensate the weaker layer adhesion on my X1C. Great work

[@JJG4ming]

Is there any way you could test PET-CF?

[@rjsvids]

CAN YOU PRINT PLA-CF in a BAmbulab A1 ?

[@MyTechFun]

On stock A1 no.

[@f2bcnc74]

did you try Bambulab PETG-CF ?

[@MyTechFun]

Soon, that will be my next BL video (PETG basic vs CF)

[@kevintang5473]

Interestine how pla-tough is less tough than pla-basic...

[@MyTechFun]

Yes, I was surprised too, off video, I checked one more time with similar test. Same result.

[@uhu4677]

@@MyTechFun I was about to ask if you did multiple samples. Very interesting results indeed. Is this the best PLA for impact resistance available? (Not counting eSun PLA-ST, because it's too soft.)
