NEW PRODUCT:
📢 The PolyDryer™ is the first of its kind, it combines efficient drying capability AND perfect storage solution!
The PolyDryer™ Box is so airtight, we managed to "inflate" it during our smoke testing 😅

@amazon
, you wrongly put back a return product in our stock, send it as a new spool and then blame it on us?
This is not a fair game.
We always consider our customer first, so we will deal with it, but check your email because we will not let this go 🙂

After listening to the feedback from our community, we optimized the way we wind the beginning of the filament so that when you reach the end of the spool the filament "self-unhook" and you can use 100% of it without it getting stuck.
📢 As always:
1) Use in moderation (Rule of thumb: 5 spools per printer maximum).
2) Be accompanied by a reasonable family member when making your purchase decision.
3) Make sure to check your filament shelf weight limit if the brackets are not printed in PLA Pro.
📢
Have fun! 😊
Hi
@BambulabGlobal
, it would really be awesome if you could rework your AMS so that it becomes more cardboard spool friendly.
It would be sad to push the market back to plastic spool.
Let us know if we can help with anything. 👍
(we will also accelerate the launch of refills)
We have introduced to our spool:
The weight/length gauge, the tare weight and the easy detachable filament end.
All great ideas from our community. 🌟
What is the next awesome idea? 💡
After months of internal discussions and feedback from users and due to the recent changes on the 3D printer market, we have decided to reintroduce the plastic spools 📢
We would like to highlight that our cardboard spools will still be available for PolyTerra PLA product line 🙂
This needs to stop!
Many material manufacturers, including us, have started with plastic spools however it is our responsibility to find more sustainable solutions.
Many of our fellow filament makers have already started the change and we would like to encourage more to do so.

#3DPrinting
filament companies...this is 3 of my 4 years of UFO spools collected. I can only imagine what print farms go through... can we please work on better solutions than non-recycleable spools? P.S. Anyone have a shredder I can borrow? Can at least fill barrels.
WARNING:
⚠️People with compulsive filament buying behavior must be accompanied by a responsible person when browsing our website.
⚠️Do not mention nor share to anyone with already more than 5 spools per 3D printer.
⚠️Please use the code with moderation
Do you have empty shelfs?
We have to admit we are not sharing the same feeling and we'd love to hear more from our community.
We believe 3dp has brought together many passionate people and the focus was always our beloved technology.
Shifting focus to judging people can start to create borders between us.
I've been in the 3D printing industry for a decade now, and one thing it lacks is DIVERSITY ❌
I want this to change, and I'm not the only one.
How can I help? 🤔 Please, reply with organizations I could support/join, and other resources to make this community a better place!
NEW 3D FILAMENT:
All what you were looking for:
Its cardboard spool, its strong, its tough, its rigid, its easy to print, its precious, it is PolyLite PLA Pro
We brought PLA to a new level
Disclaimer: Printers will NOT become invisible when loading PLA Pro
I cannot even formulate the words to properly thank such an amazing global community. I’m humbled by the love and support. In the end WE raised over $55,000 for Seattle Children’s Hospital during 8+ hours of streaming live.
I love you all. Thank you. ❤️
Quick question for our users, if you order more than $75 worth of filament, what would be the benefit of ordering from Amazon compare to our website if we also offer free and fast shipping? 😊
Just in case more people are wondering:
Depending on the hygroscopic level of the material it will come in a Nylon bag or Aluminum bag.
(Aluminum for higher hygroscopic levels)
After only a short time begging and pleading with
@Polymaker_3D
that we need a real Dark Grey, my first order of PolyTerra Ash Grey arrived and it’s beautiful! Can’t wait to see all the flavors arrive!
If our gradient cycle weight is 200g, it means you will go through the whole color spectrum with a 200g print.
We will release the color spectrum and cycle weight for all our future gradient.
We hope all gradient would come with both as a standard:
- Cycle Weight
- Color Spectrum
Polymaker:
PolyTerra™ PLA is our new and more sustainable material coming in a wide range of colors for fun and decorative prints.

"decorative prints"? Hold my beer:
As you know we have an amazing line of Creator Spools! 🌟
Do you also want your favorite creator to have a custom spool and color? 😍
Tag all your favorite content creators below and let us know what color would best match their universe! ✨
They may be interested as well 😉
Here is our view on "refills" so far:
We believe refills are nice for spools you actually finish, however we still believe cardboard spool is better for all the rest at the moment.
And by the way, we have 30% off everything on US and CA website using BLACKFRIDAY2023 🙂
Hi
@BambulabGlobal
, if you have not seen our first tweet, here is a follow up:
Your AMS is pushing back people to find plastic spools, we do not believe it is the right direction.
We are working on our refills product and we hope you are also working on a solution.
It makes us very sad when we see this type of comment. 🙁
We always try our best to make sure our products can be used on a wide variety of printers, we hope printer manufacturers can also try to consider how their product could work with most spools on the market.
Hi awesome people, we have developed 2 versions of a special PLA for props making and we would be looking for professional cosplay/movie props maker who would accept to test them to choose the best version.
If you know anyone, would you please tag them below.
Thank you all!
Looking forward to the final words from our 18 testers on our new PLA specifically designed for cosplay prop making.
(What do you think of this name for the product: PolyProp™ CosPLA)
Working with
@Polymaker_3D
and their testing filaments. Here is sample one being sanded with 220. Notice the difference in sounds. One part was sanded already. I sand down another part to show how easily it sands.
Hi

Do you use PolyMax PLA for your toughest application?
Here are two new colors for you! 😊
PolyMax PLA is by far the most impact resistant PLA!
@Polymaker_3D
@ThinAir3D
@IAMFireDragon3D
I totally understand the frustration but the current hardwares out so it’s probably better to adapt to the new standard which would eliminate most of the cardboard

We are actively looking for a missing spool.
It escaped our warehouse when loading a container.
Please contact us if you have any information.
Stay tuned for
@ferretpass
next projects!
He is going to put our line of reinforced Nylon to the test, looking forward to it!
(The most stressful for us is whether it will pass the ferret check test, looks like so far he checked the packaging and all good ;) )
Huge shout-out to the friends at
@Polymaker_3D
for supporting the 3d printing community with awesome filiments. And sending over a large variety of nylon filaments for the nylon guide. I can't thank you guys enough can't wait to get into printing these filiments. (:
FYI:
In the top 100 Amazon US filaments, 25% are on cardboard spools against 0% in 2020.
Another (estimated) data is 35-40% of the spools sold in the US comes in cardboard spools against <3% in 2020.
Do you think we can reach <10% of one time plastic spools by the end of 2023?
We are proud to announce a new partnership with Ivan Miranda!
The community loved his amazing projects and introduced him to us to support his BIG ideas!
It didnt take long to discover Ivan's creativity and enguiniety.
Stay tuned on his channel!
We noticed a lot of recent complaints about our filaments not being able to print layer lines effect, we are still investigating the root cause of this problem 🧐
So far, it seems that our R&D and quality control team are behind the issue.
Coming in December:
12 PLA Silks
9 Dual-PLA
7 Galaxy ABS/ASA
1 Christmas Pack
6 PLA Pro Metallic
1 Draft PLA
2 CosPLA
We will not stop launching new products until the community has enough 😉
For our CA users: 📢
We are happy to announce 90% of our portfolio is now back in stock:
We apologize for the inventory issue over the last few months and we hope to do better in the future.
HAPPY PRINTING! 🌟
Even our Pastel Rainbow is in stock 😎
We thought it would be clear enough but just a kind reminder to our users:
"Net Weight" means the amount of filament on the spool, it does not include the spool itself.
So there is no need to calculate 1kg-200g=800g...
@3DPrintGeneral
Oh we can do that??
Here is our new terms:
Only print with our materials (never discover other)
Do one video per day (even if you run out of ideas which would make the video enjoyable)
Mention our brand 1 time per min, even when not talking about 3d printing.
We can send 1 spool.
Are you still awake?
Quick information just for you: tomorrow morning EST we will unveil the one and only PLA to rule them all!
Printability: 100%
Toughness: 100%
Rigidity: 100%
Cardboard spool: 100%
Awesomeness: 100%
So don't forget your alarm for tomorrow ;)
Please
@amazon
, stop sending bad return products to our customers. It really damages our brand.
We put a great amount of efforts in quality control and we would like our users to enjoy that.

Hi
@Prusa3D
, would it be possible to clarify this part of your Printables TOS?
Does this mean uploading a model to Printables automatically gives Prusa the right to use the model commercially whatever the license?
Thank you
Hello community, we need your help: 📢
We are looking for the "Unicorn girl" who won the RMRRF death racer battle with her unicorn racer!
We are trying to get in contact with her to send her 3D printer and filaments
You can retweet if you do not have any information 😉
Thank you!
⚠️ QUALITY ISSUE:
We forgot to add the layer line effects in one of our latest product: PolyMide™ PA12-CF
This is a basic feature of 3D printing filament and we are unsure why it was forgotten,
This issue is under investigation.
Please stay tuned for more information.

She takes my phone to use the handy app to start a print every time she comes over.
So this Christmas, I got my mom the Bambu Labs A1 mini combo and let her raid my

stash!
@IAMFireDragon3D
Not at all, the numbers of Bambulabs printer is currently negligible to even think about rethinking our cardboard spools.
Also the question could be: Looking at the amount of cardboard spools on the market, will Bambulabs consider rethinking their AMS design?
PSA:
Our global website was recently hacked so we will temporally redirect the traffic to our US website until the launch of our new global website next month.
We apologize for the inconvenience and we hope that at least the hackers got to learn about 3D printing materials.
We used to think the same way as the poll but note that we recently encountered designers who do not consider the commercial rights as "promotional rights"
This is a note to other companies:
Please make sure to always reach out to designers and not make the same mistake as we did
We came across an interesting fact these last few days and we would like to hear your thoughts on it:
Does buying the commercial license of a model allow us to use it in our marketing content?
