Filament Bambu Lab PETG Basic 1 kg Gray

Bambu Lab PETG Basic 1 kg Gray is a filament for printing brackets and wall hooks. The updated formula matches PLA Basic for strength while retaining the toughness needed to absorb impacts. Lower sensitivity to moisture reduces stringing on the surface. The filament works with all Bambu printers.

Key features and benefits

  • Filament diameter: 1.75 ± 0.03 mm — A tight diameter tolerance ensures even feeding in the extruder.
  • Tensile strength (X-Y): 51 ± 1 MPa — Holders, hooks and clips perform under load when its direction coincides with the print plane.
  • Nozzle temperature: 230 - 260 °C — The range covers nozzles from 0.2 to 0.8 mm, so the settings can be chosen for the specific part.
  • Drying before printing: 65 °C, 8 h — A dried spool reduces stringing on the surface; the same settings apply to AMS 2 Pro and AMS HT.
  • Resistance to outdoor conditions: the material resists water, UV and temperature changes, so garden signs and bathroom accessories keep their shape.
  • UL GREENGUARD certification (UL 2904): particle and VOC emissions are lower than levels in an average kitchen, living room or office, so printing indoors does not degrade the air.
  • RFID tag on the spool: the print parameters are stored in the RFID tag and read via Bambu Lab AMS, so the material profile does not need to be entered manually.
  • Palette of 13 colours: one range covers home décor and outdoor gear, so different items can be printed with a single material.

Applications

The updated formula of Bambu Lab PETG Basic 1 kg Gray matches PLA Basic for strength while retaining the toughness needed to absorb impacts.

The material is resistant to water, UV and temperature, so it is suitable for printing outdoors and in damp rooms.

For outdoors: icons for UV, water and temperature resistance

The PETG Basic range comes in 13 colours: from home décor to outdoor gear.

Palette: items in 13 colours

Lower sensitivity to moisture reduces stringing compared with standard PETG. Drying before printing is still recommended.

The UL GREENGUARD (UL 2904) certification confirms low emissions when printing indoors.

  • Household holders and brackets: the impact strength of 34.2 ± 4.1 kJ/m² in the X-Y plane withstands knocks. Along the Z axis it is 10.5 ± 1.8 kJ/m². Therefore, orient the part so that the load runs along the layers.
  • Garden signs and bathroom accessories: resistance to water, UV and temperature is confirmed in the material description; water absorption at saturation is 0.45 % (25 °C, 55 % RH).
  • Printing in living spaces: particle and VOC emissions under the UL GREENGUARD (UL 2904) certification are lower than levels in an average kitchen, living room or office. The material is odourless.
  • Décor and outdoor gear: 13 colours make it possible to print home décor and outdoor accessories with a single material.

Compatibility and accessories

The print parameters are stored in the spool's RFID tag and read via Bambu Lab AMS. The Bambu Lab PETG Basic 1 kg Gray filament is compatible with all Bambu 3D printers.
