[@AmandaMacGregor-m9s]

Thank you so much for this! I received my first 3D printer (Bambu Lab A1 Mini) last month for my birthday, and was looking to purchase some more colors of filament. When I saw the refill option, I decided to Google it and see what it is. Your video came up and I’m glad it did! This was quick and to the point, while being thorough. I had not known about the membership discounts, and would highly doubt I could go through 8 spools in a month, so I’m sure you just saved me a ton of money!!! Thanks again for helping out those of us who are very new to this! :)

[@markinaz323]

One thing I don't think you mentioned, there's a bump when you put the spool together, if you don't turn past the bump the spool might come apart during use, which is a bummer.

Thats when you buy another bambu printer, to save even more money 😂. Actually, i did that and bought another a1 mini.

[@mouserr]

the other filament makers need to start offering both easily refilled spools and refill bundles like this rfid not required. id be quiet happy to buy a dozen or so spools and a pile of refills as a thought on improving the refill spool, 2 cut outs for using zipties or the like to secure the remnants for swapping to different filament

[@TheEdgeofTech]

Great feedback! I wish others would do this too! It really is great to swap them quick!

[@S.A.S.H.]

Microcenter offers refill spools and they fit the Bambu spools and vice versa.

[@AndrewAHayes]

The membership program is only available to people who bought their Bambu Lab printer direct from Bambu Lab. I wish I knew this before I bought mine!

[@TheEdgeofTech]

Hmm. I thought it was for anyone who owned one. That is good feedback and I'm going to bring that back to the company.. Thanks for watching Andrew! It's great to see you in the comments!

[@S.A.S.H.]

Bambu Lab really needs to open this program up to all owners. After all I have the serial number and since I use their slicer and am not in LAN-only mode theyalready have my traffic running through their backend. So they have the data needed to verify my "ownership."

[@samb4486]

In my case I brought my X1 Carbon from the only authorized agent in New Zealand. At that time Bambu Lab would not ship from their website to NZ (I think this may have changed now). Anyway, I'm penalized for using their only authorized agent for not buying online, when at that time I couldn't buy online from the Bambu Lab website.

[@Marcus_Caius]

I do not have a Bambu Lab printer yet and I placed an order yesterday April 7, 2024 of 4 filament spools and at the checkout they were -$8CAD each. Saved $32CAD on that order.

[@iamlegendinjapan]

Not anymore

[@Spirited282]

Great video Jim. I have a X1C and for sure use the membership. Everything usually costs much more for those of us in Canada so this pricing really helps me. Polymaker and Bambu filaments are the 2 i use the most. Proto Pasta also now have a section of their carboard spools you can just cut out and it fits perfectly on the bambu spools

[@FreedomToRoam86]

I have been dreading rewinding my spools so much I never looked at it. Going to to do the refills tonight when I get home now. And the membership info was clutch, too. Thanks!

[@roobtoob2]

It saves money over BL's original prices, but I find that Amazon has more choices, better prices, and faster shipping. I've ordered filament from Amazon and received it same day, next day, and two days (with Prime membership). BL shipping times are much longer, they have higher prices, and they seem to have problems with stock availability when I've shopped there. I do like the RF tags that come on the BL branded filaments, but all things considered, I think I'll stick with other choices available on Amazon (at least until something happens to change my mind).

[@t3chn06789]

which other brands have worked for you?

[@roobtoob2]

@@t3chn06789Creality is the brand I use most. Sunlu and HP are also good. I like reality is the best because I can usually find it on plastic spools, and they work well with the AMS.

[@sirskyrage]

this is 5 months late but from my perspective, as someone who has tried A LOT of different brands: bambu lab filament might be more expensive than some other brands but their quality is really really good. it's up there with the best. meanwhile many of the cheaper brands on amazon are kind of not great quality™ many might not care about the difference but for anyone with a decent printer it's kind of a waste to use bad filament when you could have so much better prints

[@roobtoob2]

@@sirskyrage I've had great results with Creality branded filaments.

[@morsikpl]

I just saw this video and got happy about this membership. It doesn't exists anymore, but there's huge bulk discount for PLA Basic - about 2/3 of original price when you buy 4 or more spools, so still quite cheap and same prices as on this video (16.99 EUR instead of standard 23.76)

[@danyveilleux3864]

The membership is for people that bought their printer directly from Bambu and I got mine from a local resseller. Hopefully, they will change that eventually. They have great filament but even their refill is more expensive for me than a Polyterra roll.

[@plugger410]

Sunlu is compatible with bambu profiles, cost $48 for a four pack of matte pla, shipping is super quick, and the reels are compatible with AMS. No brainer.

[@cstategrad99]

Love the system, the refills, the labels and RFID. The membership however is not a money saver because you are limited to 8 rolls and currently there are challenges with available inventory. I know BL is doing their best in explosive growth but the filament and program need some work versus what you can get everyday from their competitors in filament.

[@TheEdgeofTech]

Thank you for the feedback and for watching! I appreciate it! I hear you, and still think that it's a good deal, even though it's only 8 spools you can still save some good money!

[@stevehorvat69]

Inventory is definitely a challenge. I ordered 3 rolls through the program with free shipping. I wanted a fourth roll of either white or silver and both are out of stock until early Feb. now when it comes in and I order just that single roll, I have to pay shipping unless I order at least 3 rolls. Unfortunately their order system won’t even let you order out of stock items.

[@pearlharbor8065]

It's a good deal as long as you have the free membership

[@ruthlessluder]

I just wrap regular cardboard spools with clear scotch tape. No issues with AMS.

[@Chika_Champon]

Thanks for this idea, you saved me money on printing rings

[@petera1117]

Logic behind this? They slip more? Not sure I’m following.

[@billbyrd9845]

I would love to patronize Bambu Lab, but, I just ordered another roll from Amazon for $15.29 with free shipping! And it prints great and the cardboard spool comes with it.

[@KRich408]

Just setup a Bambu P1S The Green starter roll came unwound on me when I cut the tape😮😢 what a mess I gave up after my wife and I spent over an hour trying to untangle the mess. I just cut it into 1/3s and hand wrapped each 1/3 as I need the PLA. I'm so glad it wasn't a full 2kg spool . I know there are ways to transfer filement to other rolls I was thinking of trying it with the garbage cardboard roll of Micro Centers product I purchased with the printer but now I'm just going to wrap electrical tape around them. I couldn't believe Micro Center sells Bambu printers but not their filaments? I should have ordered from the Bambu website they had a deal with the printer. I was impatient and wanted a printer Sunday so that was on me 😅

[@LiquidRetro]

Proof that people need a tutorial for everything, even when the manufacture has a video and directions already made.

[@GertGybels]

Agree, I do like to suppport smaller channels but 8 minutes about how to use a refill is a bit of a stretch. I'm almost stretching my arm to hit the unsuscribe button.

[@yojalma]

Well I have never bought refills so I’m here seeing how it would work.

[@JohnVanderbeck]

Kind of the opposite. Proof that a YTer will make a video about anything they can :)

[@church493]

Membership might be worth it, if one will buy from Bambu. Problem is - way too often they have stock shortages, and if one wants some particular specific color filament for print, many give up (not due cost, but due availability) on buyin Bambu's alltogether. P.S. Regarding stock shortages in relation to refills, in some cases worth checking up, if particular color filament is not in stock in "other form". Not often, but sometimes it helps to get what you want due "other kind" being in stock.

[@TheEdgeofTech]

Actually they removed the membership option and allow more discount purchases now as well! So anyone can jump in and buy the filament at the discount now 🙂

[@DarkStegodon]

I get it... if you are exclusively ONLY buying bambu filament... reality is other brands are equivalent in quality, but cost less (spool included) You can VERY often get 1kg of filament + Spool for $12.99.

[@JackMaslovCZLive]

Exactly. Plus in Europe, idk for the US, the membership program isn't available. So one normal PLA spool costs 27 euros or 21 euros/kg if you buy bulk 4 pieces. I can get Creality PLA for 13 euros, and eSun PLA+ for 18 all with spools.

[@Drahcar]

Voxel is supposedly coming out with a refill, it will be interesting to see if it is as well done.

[@Ub3rMario]

I really like voxelpla and it has always had a 16.99 cost even for petg. So, I'm very excited to hear they're going to have refills!

[@Just_Jesus_ef]

How do you guys like their PLA?

[@Ub3rMario]

@@Just_Jesus_ef love it! Voxelpla has great pla, very consistent. Also just tried their petg for the first time and so far so good.

[@kylequinn1963]

Too bad the price for the no-spool refill is still way more expensive than the normal stuff you can buy on Amazon

[@bhoustonjr]

I always go with the 10 refills orders and they can be as low as 13.99 per 1kilo roll.

[@johnslugger]

*I get all my filament an AMAZON for as little as $9.00 a Kilo. Filament has a massive mark up in price!!*

[@Devast8ter]

What brand do you recommend? Just ordered the bambu x1c and daughter wants like 8 different colors. See hella mixed reviews all over

[@johnslugger]

@@Devast8ter *Color printing is expensive and wasteful and takes 50% longer! Buy her some oil paints and maybe she will learn another skill other than "pushing a button". You should have got her a P1P, only $499 and is an amazing value! Color printing will evolve in the next few years, not the right time to buy a color printer. Tell your little "Veruca Salt" to wait a few years and she just gets ONE color now and a paint set. In the mean time she can entertain herself with 'balloons and performing baboons'.*

[@JackMaslovCZLive]

Bambu is working on reducing the color switching waste (poop) when printing with the AMS. Plus you can tune it to release as little as, I think around 30 grams of waste for a 80 gram print with around 150-200 colour changes. Not bad. Still some waste but not bad.

[@johnslugger]

@@JackMaslovCZLive *On the industrial 3D printers ($25,000) They have 4 filaments going into one print head. They do it very cleverly. They know it takes exactly 5 seconds for the new color to flow to the tip and their slicer takes that timing into account and starts feeding the new color in the hot-end 5 seconds before a color/layer change. The slicer also knows to spread out the color change layer as much as possible for about the next 3 seconds so the head jumps around a lot depositing tiny dots of "mix" to spread it out thin before hitting it hard with the next color. The result is 100% perfect 4 color prints every time with zero waste. The trick is to keep everything tight and have a high Wattage heater to keep the hot-end as short as possible. It can be done.*

[@JackMaslovCZLive]

​@@johnslugger That's really cool. I didn't know this about 3d printers on the industrial side. I wish this would be implemented in sub $1000 3d printers, but when selling 3d printers to regular consumers, I guess the companies have to also take into account all the scenarios where it needs to work, for the widest variety of filaments and kinds of prints. Not to mention that those industrial printers are probably really bulky, not something you would put into your house or on your room desk. Really interesting nonetheless.

[@zackbowe1466]

Can you use a different color on the spool does that affect the RFID

[@christopherdickenson374]

I bought two refills When I bought my printer and have had nothing but trouble with them until I finally threw them away. They were so poorly wound that the spools kept binding. When I tried to get them working again, they exploded on the spool. I did manage to get about halfway through the white before I got so fed up, I tossed it. The black was not nearly as good.

[@jeffvanark]

This is a great feature especially with the RFID spools

[@tonysimek]

Excellent video. Excellent channel. Thank you for being a great presenter, and with great content!!!

[@bhoustonjr]

I use this option as it ends up being cheaper than low-cost filament from Amazon. Plus the equipment auto-recognizes the type of filament. Also if you order 10 rolls the cost of the refills are $13.99 for most PLA and some PETG.

[@hongkongerdan]

if you got the Bambu printer you could actually print the spools and start saving right away.

[@TheEdgeofTech]

Great idea!

[@skydown6977]

We need Bambu Lab to include a Dad Joke with every order! Your shirt inspired this bad idea.

[@TheEdgeofTech]

Now this is a comment I can get behind! I love the idea and will propose it to them! haha

[@TheLightworkz]

For now I like the spools because I have to convert other brands like PolyTerra cardboard to the empty Bambu spool. If I have low filament from other brands I use those to print the Bambu spools off the SD card.

[@funwithrpis3281]

LOL for those near a Microcenter we often buy Inland PLA/PETG/ABS on a cardboard Spool for the $18ish price (normally like $20-$24 but almost always on sale).. So I wouldn't be saving anything paying $18-$19 for refills plus shipping... Only down side to using Inland is keeping the AMS lid open which I think the Hydra AMS mod fixes (haven't done it yet).

[@jamesdawson5509]

There are adapter rings for Inland/Overture cardboard spools on makerworld. I have only had my printer for a short time but so far they have worked flawlessly.

[@mrbilky]

Damn right 8 spools per month even if I don't need them this thing isn't going to last so I'm taking full advantage

[@JackMaslovCZLive]

Hey, does the membership program still exist? Cause I'm in Europe and I cannot find a way to even see this offer on their website. Even when I load the US version of the site. Gonna give you some info on my prices. Let me know if it's any similar. In Europe even the most basic PLA costs 24 euros and 27 euros (~30 USD) with a spool from Bambulab, so it's not even worth it. There's only a bulk discount which totals 4 KG = 72 euros, (18 euros/kg) which is the most expensive I'd go for regular PLA but this only applies for the basic PLAs and DOES NOT include the spools. With 4 spools it would be ~ 21 euros/kg. Not for the metal nor colourful finishes, neither for ASA, just basic and matte PLA, and one PETG.

[@rezincreative2951]

I find there are plenty of filaments out there that work and are still way cheaper than Bambu even without the spool.

[@loquacious1956]

Unfortuanately some colours are not available in refill version

[@hanspijpers2100]

question:? does the discount also works If I buy 2 different colours of filament ? Kind regards hans

[@cliftonhead9665]

Hi Jim new to your site and 3d printing what would you suggest for filament types.

[@TheEdgeofTech]

Welcome! I would start with PLA. It's the easiest to start and learn with, and it's great for almost anything!

[@AdrenalStorm]

And now you save even MORE money on their black friday sale. I got 9 refills with 2 free spools for $12.99 each after buying the a1 mini for $199.99. I am so glad I waited. I am loving my a1 mini so far. ❤

[@The_Cranky_Old_Man]

So if you have more than one printer can someone else in your household order 8 a month?

[@coedshowers]

[@JoeBowler300]

[@flat_stickproductions209]

@@JoeBowler300 I misunderstood, lowest I have found is still $11-13 per spool, this is Anycubic, Elegoo and IIID Max, SUNLU is right there with them too. I also have great results from these brands, I think Anycubic and SUNLU might be the same, it's the same exact spool for sure.

[@RebelTurtleTim]

Two issues, 1 you have to purchase your printer direct from their website. I got mine from Microcenter and don't qualify. 2. While I like their filament, I can get Inland filament from MicroCenter for 17:99 for most PLA and often get it for 15.99 on sale. I would love to use Bambu filament or even other brands but can't get past the price. I also kill more then 8 rolls a month. Most for personal but some for my church or friends. They need to offer bulk 3KG rolls for 15$ and then we are talking deal.

[@rudolfjonas272]

how can be chaged the half of amount refill filament, if you do not have enough empty spool? maybe the filament runs out from the spool while another refilled filament is replaced. Any idea? I try to fix it "normal" cord and the used refill spool can be removed without entaglement. But it very difficult to fix it and sometimes rest of filament got tangled...

[@S.A.S.H.]

Dude, great t-shirt.

[@Lukis3D]

the problem is, in Europe, their filaments are always sold out..

[@tannga1]

order over seas then you pay half of what they offer on there membership after shipping

[@josejorgeromero6813]

Do you know if we can use on Bambu AMS a filament bought on Amazon?

[@GROGU123]

Yes, but be careful. AMS doesn't always like cardboard spools, infact filament with cardboard spools is not recommended. I haven't had any issues with Inland(microcenter) filaments with their cardboard spools, but because of how the spools ride on the AMS rollers, thinner cardboard can deform and not spin correctly. It's recommended to only buy fiilament with plastic spools.

[@hasve978]

Fremover has the best deal if you buy in bulk

[@ozskeeter]

if other brands offered refills instead of cardboard disposables more people would buy non-Bambu (yes I know a lot already do) ... I mostly buy Bambu refills as the filament is predictable (I have tuned for these) and I have enough reusable spools to do the job.

[@AndrewAHayes]

So I have cut the cardboard off the Bambu Lab spool but I cant get it to split, I have tried twisting it and have tried applypressure to ne side of the inner and twisting, I just cant get this thing apart. What am I doing wrong?

[@st3venb]

Is it just me or is the refill price not comparable to the price of a blank spool? Like not even close.

[@xcaguilera88]

Do you really need the spool? can't it be used only with the cardboard?

[@JohnVanderbeck]

I have never once had those strips come off so easily. I always end up needing to cut them Also refills ALWAYS jam on me. Every spool. The filament ends up on the edges and gets jammed. The refills don't fill up the spool to the very edge like the ones with spools do. Somewhere else I saw someone say you should kind of smoosh the filament down to push it to the edges so I'm going go try that next, but I didn't see you do that and I'm pretty sure the directions don't say to either.

[@Mc-pp4vc]

Magician 😂

[@DWIT3D]

BambuLab Membership program is awesome. It is one of my go-to filaments! Great video Jim.

[@marcq1588]

What about buying a spool from a cheaper brand than Bambu Lab and do the same as you just did? After all, these filaments are probably all made in the same Chinese facility, a bit like all the computer's memory modules and each brand put their sticker on and sell at their own prices... for the exact same manufactured product... I am sure this applies to the 3D filaments as well, don't you think?

[@Wired_Lain]

All filament is not equal. Some are poor quality and you will end up with more frequent failures.

[@lostinseale]

I have looked at this and I could not find the membership cost. Big RED flag. If you can talk to Bambu and have them open it up to all Bambu owners. I got mine at Micro Center and am not eligible like someone else posted. Good information.

[@JoshFisher567]

I imagine that's because they're still assessing what to charge for the membership. The program is new, at least less than 6 months and everyone who purchased a printer pretty much gets the complementary membership program for 6 months, which bought them time to sort out pricing, since they will have another 3-4 months and change here to decide what the price point will be. Two rolls of newer coloraed transparent PETG showed up at my door last week. I thought it was shipped bu mistake, checked to make sure i wasn't charged then saw it was sent via the membership program which was sweet. I inow those are random and i got lucky but 2 rolls of new free filement withoit doing anything was nice to get. Both the company, and the membership program are new, if you need a more direct answer, it's better to ask the company directly. The have stated that it won't auto renew so you just lose your membership when it expires. I imagine by then a price will be set and it could depend on how much filament you buy directly from them. If it Auto renewed automatically in charge the card that would be a big red flag but no aito renew, you have to manually opt in. I'll wait and see what the prices once they finally say what it will be.

I Refuse to assoicate with Bambu....im not a fan of the Apple like Business Plan of Locking you in a mostly closed eco system, and im not paying $50aud a roll or 45 for refill. id prefer the other options on the market over bambu anyday...and im poor so you'd expect me to get one second hand..hell no then ya have to wipe all owners info assoiciated with the printer, before getting full function..just my 2 cents...cheers from Downunder

I own a P1S and you can use whatever filament brand you want. I’ve never bought or used Bambi lab filament in the 8 months of owning the printer. I only use cheap Amazon filament.

[@genemaster74]

@Creptex oh I know that's fine....but all the other stuff bambu have built and are building into their eco system....for me personally I'm a hard pass....I'm not dunking on people who use/own bambu printers, I'm just owning my opinion on this company. Atm we may never be able to buy a new printer ever again if this pattern troll gets his win in court🤬

[@judahbrandis7167]

None of them require you to use other Bambu Labs products. You don’t need to use Bambu Labs filament, glue, subscriptions, anything. If you could give an example by what you mean then that would make it easier to understand where you’re coming from.

Still over priced

[@SynysterGoose]

Way over priced.

[@MGM2PK]

stupid video, Sunlu sells filaments with a spool much cheaper than Bambu sells filaments without the spool!

[@judahbrandis7167]

Useless video, he doesn’t explain how to put the top of the spool back on or how to make sure it doesn’t come back apart (common problem).

[@TheEdgeofTech]

Interesting comment. If you go to 3:43 seconds into the video, I show how to install the top of the spool. Push together and twist to lock it. I'm confused at what I didn't show? I appreciate your feedback, but please let me know what you think I should have shown.

Bambu sucks

[@mrb2917]

nah

[@OldManJimmy1]

I was mad at them when I said that, they are the best thing happened to 3d printers in a long time. I was dealing with the recall of my A1 combo unit and had got an email telling me to quit using my printer. I got a full return where I bought it Microcenter and ended up getting the X1C with AMS.@@mrb2917

[@RollerCoasterLineProductions]

Not sure a “ton of money” is being saved refill vs spool is 3 bucks difference. I’m a late comer, just got my X1C from Bambu 6 weeks ago in May of 24, even with their 2nd anniversary sale I’m not really saving a ton.

[@axetogrindproductions4153]

its cheaper to just buy other brands tho? prints just the same but they don't sponsor us so we dont have feeling like you. that's why these reviews and shit are a waste of time . they always say this company didn't pay me but they sent me this printer ect... thats paying you !
