📦 Recommended Storage & Moisture Handling:
To maintain the filament in optimal condition:
- Store in an environment with less than 40% relative humidity
- If you do not print often, keep the filament sealed or in a dry box between uses
If the filament is exposed to humidity and print quality is affected:
- Dry the filament at 55°C for 1 hour using a reliable filament dryer
- A recommended dryer is one with minimal temperature fluctuation, to avoid overheating
⚠️ Warning:
Overheating the filament can cause it to become extremely brittle or even fuse together into a solid roll.
We will not be liable for damage caused by improper drying or overheating.
💬 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Is it compatible with my printer?
✅ Yes! It works with Bambu Labs (AMS / AMS Lite), Prusa, Creality, Neptune, Anycubic, and most 1.75mm FDM printers. -
Does it really sparkle?
✨ Yes! The glitter is embedded in the filament and gives off a soft cosmic shine, especially under lighting. -
Is it beginner-friendly?
✅ Very. It prints like standard PLA — smooth flow, low warping, no strong odors. -
Do I need a heated bed?
🔧 It’s recommended. A bed temp of 55–60°C improves first-layer adhesion and consistency. -
Can I use it for functional parts?
✅ Yes, for light-duty functional parts like holders or brackets.
However, PLA is biodegradable, and in Singapore’s hot and humid climate, it will naturally degrade over time — especially if used outdoors or exposed to sunlight. Expect wear or brittleness within 1–2 years in such conditions. -
Is it AMS-compatible?
✅ Yes. This filament fits both Bambu AMS and AMS Lite systems. -
Do I need to dry the filament before use?
💡 Drying is not always required, but if print quality degrades due to humidity, drying at 55°C for 1 hour can restore performance. See storage guide above. -
Do you accept empty spools?
We currently do not collect empty spools, but they can be recycled via the blue bin as they are made from standard recyclable plastic. -
Will the spool get tangled?
❌ No – our spools are machine-wound in layered rows, making tangling during production impossible.
⚠️ Tangles only happen if the filament end is left loose during handling.
✔️ Always secure the filament end through the spool holes after use to prevent this.
