Dry & Dry Blue Indicating Silica Gel Beads Desiccants (Industry Standard 3-5 mm) – Reusable Desiccant Beads Silica Beads(Blue to Pink) – 2 lbs

These silica gel beads can be added to 3D printed baskets and containers. We highly recommend the center spool holders for use in both dry box storage and inside the AMS/MMU of your 3D Printer. Can be recharged in oven or microwave.

3D Printer Filament Dryer Box, Keeping Filament Dry During 3D Printing 4L Compatible with 0.5/1KG Filament and PLA PETG TPU ABS Material

Bambu Lab X1C

Every member of our team has at least one Bambu printer, and the X1C is the top pick of these. Simple setup, reliably fast prints, your really can’t go wrong. We prefer the CoreX-Y on this printer to the bed slinger on some of the other options.

The biggest downside to all Bambu printers is that they use a foreign based cloud service that may not pass your IT governance. We run these offline in the hospital environment and print via SD card for this reason. Recent price reduction to $799 solidifies this as a top pick!

Bambu Lab AMS2 Pro

The AMS2 Pro adds multi-color and multi-material printing to Bambu X1, P1, and H2 series printers – with additional support for the A1 series later this year. The older AMS supports only X1 & P1 printers and does not include a drying function. We highly recommend an AMS for automatic refill, even if multi-color isn’t used.

Bambu Lab A1

Amazing entry level printer that produces quality prints. While we prefer the CoreXY, this is a reliable printer at a great price. Compatible with AMS Lite with AMS2 Pro compatibility coming this month.

Bambu Lab H2D

The H2 series is Bambu’s new flagship line. The H2D has dual nozzle for faster multi color and multi material printing with less waste. Larger build volume and options for laser and cutter modules.

Bambu Lab H2S

The H2 series is Bambu’s new flagship line. The H2S is the single print head version of the H2D. Larger build volume and options for laser and cutter modules – think of this as a larger and newer X1C with a better hot end.
