I currently have a bambu p2s, and I'm curious to what filament your using that aren't Bambu and what kind of success you've had with it. I want more color choices! Thanks!!

My Ender3 would eat anything with relative success. My Centauri Carbon 2 I've had decent luck with Insignia PLA, really good luck with Insignia PETG, The Hobby Lobby brand of PLA I haven't had much success with the CC2, but I did run it through my dryer again. So far Ive done a few prints with Elegoo's RAPID PLA and they turned out good, but their RAPID PETG has been a huge win for me.

Elegoo Rapid PLA. The lighter color is a rosey pink that looks like this when there's more layers

I print almost everything that isn't a prototype in bambu lab ABS and ABS-GF. The Glass Fiber is really nice because it limits the chance of your print warping and the finish on the parts hides layer lines pretty well, but if you want to sand something, it is better to use regular ABS.

I've had good luck with Voxel's PLA+ and their PETG+


It's pretty cheap per roll too.

Their PLA prints exactly like the Bambu, and the PETG prints...uh- like it does, I haven't ordered more and I used it all on my ol' anycubic.

I like the abs GF from Bambu, but they lack in colors.

No pla for me though.

i have pretty good results on my ender 3 v3 se with sunlu stuff. the petg prints well once you get the settings dialled in properly - Gemini helped me here. i have great prints with their PLA+ 2.0, but i see you can't use it with warping. it's funny, i only ever get warping on petg! you're going to struggle a bit i think without an enclosure to print much else, and if you get one, it should help enormously with the warping

Polymaker/Overture, Esun(or inland), Elegoo, Sunlu, the usual suspects. Same main go-to's I use for PLA. Although I'll dig deeper through brands for PLA/PETG chasing colors. Although I never use Bambu filament and don't find presets that usable, I always end up tweaking something.

I just tried polymaker's metallic blue abs on Jerseyscalers h10 fj panels. It printed nicely!
