Product Description
Bambu Lab PETG Basic Navy Blue 1 kg is a versatile PETG filament developed directly for Bambu Lab printers, but works seamlessly on most common FDM printers as well. It combines very good toughness, flexibility, and strong layer bonding with user-friendly printability and limited stringing compared to standard PETG.
The dark Navy Blue shade is ideal for technical and functional parts where you want an elegant, subtle, yet distinct blue color.
Key Features
- PETG Material – a combination of toughness, flexibility, and good dimensional stability
- Water, UV, and weather resistance – suitable for outdoor use and long-term deployment
- Strong layer bonding and high impact resistance – ideal for mechanically stressed components
- Improved anti-stringing formula – less stringing, cleaner surface
- Good light transmission of PETG – semi-transparent effects can be achieved with thin walls
- Bambu AMS compatible – the filament comes with an RFID chip (on the original spool) for automatic profile recognition on Bambu Lab printers
- Diameter 1,75 mm ± 0,03 mm – precise tolerance for reliable filament feeding
- 1 kg packaging – economical packaging for longer print series
Recommended Use
Bambu Lab PETG Basic Navy Blue is particularly suitable for:
- Functional parts and fixtures – clamps, holders, brackets, assembly aids
- Outdoor elements – flower pots, bottle holders, bike mounts, garden accessories
- Technical and machine components – covers, spacers, protective frames, sensor mounts
- Home equipment – hooks, organizers, storage boxes, kitchen and workshop tools
- Hobby & DIY projects – RC models, cosplay accessories, sports and leisure equipment
Compared to PLA, it better withstands heat, water, and mechanical stress, making it ideal where PLA might become brittle or deform over time.
Printing Recommendations
Specific profiles for Bambu Lab printers (X1, P1, A1 etc.) are available directly in Bambu Studio / OrcaSlicer – simply select the “Bambu PETG Basic” profile and Navy Blue color.
Recommended basic settings (guideline for other FDM printers):
- Nozzle temperature: approx. 230–250 °C (start around 240 °C)
- Bed temperature: approx. 70–80 °C
- Printing speed: 30–80 mm/s depending on model character
- Cooling: medium – lower than for PLA, too strong airflow can worsen layer bonding
- Build plate: PEI smooth or textured, or glass with a suitable adhesive agent
Filament Drying
PETG generally absorbs moisture, which can increase stringing, bubbles, and a matte surface.
- If moisture is suspected, we recommend drying at ~65 °C for 6–8 hours.
- Keep the filament in a sealable box with silica gel.
Removing the Print
PETG tends to adhere strongly to PEI plates. After printing is finished:
- Let the bed cool down completely – the print often releases itself or with minimal plate bending.
- Do not force the print off at high temperatures to avoid damaging the bed surface.
