Bambu AMS Compatibility

Since October 2023, the 3D-Fuel Standard PLA+ has been manufactured using an AMS-compliant spool (more info on our spool sizes and weights). Since it takes time for some colors to move through our warehouse inventory, you may receive an older spool type. This is still compatible with the AMS, but you must leave the lid open a few mm.

Pro PCTG is 20-50% More Impact Resistant Than PETG

Key Reasons for Better Impact Toughness:

  1. Molecular Structure:
    • PCTG contains cyclohexane dimethanol (CHDM), which gives it increased flexibility and toughness compared to PETG’s ethylene glycol structure.
  2. Flexibility vs. Brittleness:
    • PCTG is more ductile, allowing it to absorb and dissipate energy during impact without cracking or shattering.
  3. Layer Adhesion:
    • PCTG has better inter-layer bonding when 3D printed, reducing weak points in the structure where impact forces might cause failure.

Real-World Implications:

  1. Drop Resistance:
    • PCTG parts are less likely to crack, chip, or break when dropped, making it ideal for high-impact applications like enclosures or wearable devices.
  2. Repeated Stress:
    • PCTG can endure repeated bending or sudden forces better than PETG, making it more suitable for hinges, clips, and flexible parts.
  3. Durability in Extreme Conditions:
    • PCTG resists embrittlement under low temperatures, maintaining its toughness in environments where PETG may fail.

Example Use Cases Benefiting from PCTG's Toughness:

  • Protective housings for electronics or tools.
  • Drone parts and propeller guards.
  • Flexible clips, snap-fits, and living hinges.
  • Impact-resistant containers or enclosures.

Chemical Resistance

Chemical Type Examples PCTG Advantage PETG Limitation Comparison (CRR)
Alcohols Isopropyl alcohol (IPA), ethanol, methanol Resists prolonged exposure without degrading or cracking. Degrades or stress cracks with high alcohol concentrations over time. 1.8
Hydrocarbons Hexane, heptane, gasoline, mineral spirits Better resistance to hydrocarbon-based solvents. Softens or weakens when exposed to hydrocarbons. 2.0
Acids Acetic acid, citric acid, phosphoric acid Maintains structural integrity in mild to moderately concentrated acids. Degrades faster in acidic environments at higher concentrations. 1.4
Bases (Alkalis) Sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, ammonium hydroxide Better resistance to strong alkalis. May crack or degrade when exposed to strong bases. 1.33
Cleaning Agents Bleach (sodium hypochlorite), industrial degreasers, detergent solutions Withstands harsh cleaning agents without discoloration or damage. Discolors, cracks, or loses properties with harsh cleaning agents over time. 1.5
Oils and Lubricants Engine oils, hydraulic fluids, cutting oils Resists degradation from prolonged exposure to oils. Absorbs oils over time, potentially leading to swelling or weakening. 1.6
Ketones Acetone, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) Performs slightly better in low-concentration ketones. Softens or dissolves more readily in ketone-rich environments. 1.2


Pro PCTG Has Lower Moisture Absorption Than PETG

  1. PETG:

    • Hygroscopic: PETG absorbs moisture from the air, but at a relatively low rate compared to more hygroscopic materials like nylon or TPU.
    • Moisture Absorption Rate: Approximately 0.2–0.3% by weight after prolonged exposure to humid environments.
    • Effects of Moisture:
      • During printing, moisture in PETG can lead to stringing, bubbling, and surface defects due to water vaporizing in the hotend.
      • Mechanical properties (like impact strength) can slightly degrade over time with prolonged exposure to high humidity.
  2. PCTG:

    • Slightly Lower Moisture Absorption: PCTG absorbs less moisture than PETG, typically around 0.1–0.2% by weight.
    • Improved Resistance: Due to its cyclohexane dimethanol (CHDM) component, PCTG’s molecular structure makes it less hygroscopic and more resistant to moisture-induced degradation.
    • Effects of Moisture:
      • PCTG generally performs better than PETG in humid conditions, retaining clarity, toughness, and dimensional stability for longer periods.

Why the Difference?

  • Molecular Structure:
    • PETG’s glycol modification increases flexibility but leaves the material slightly more hygroscopic.
    • PCTG’s modified structure with CHDM reduces the polar sites available for moisture interaction, resulting in less absorption.

Practical Implications:

  1. 3D Printing:

    • PETG: Requires drying more frequently, especially if exposed to humid environments, as even slight moisture absorption can lead to print defects (bubbling, stringing, poor adhesion).
    • PCTG: Requires less frequent drying, making it easier to handle in environments with higher humidity. It is also more forgiving if printed without drying.
  2. Storage:

    • Both materials benefit from being stored in airtight containers with desiccant.
    • PCTG will be less prone to degradation if exposed to moisture for extended periods compared to PETG.
  3. Long-Term Use in Humid Environments:

    • PCTG is more stable and less likely to lose mechanical properties over time in high-humidity settings.

Drying

For both materials, drying before printing and proper storage is recommended for optimal performance, but PCTG is less maintenance-intensive in this regard.

When you need to dry Pro PCTG, use a temperature of 60-70C for 4-8 hours.

I Love the Typhur Sync wireless meat thermometer
Size: 2 Probes, Size: 2 Probes
I Love the Typhur Sync wireless meat thermometer. I bought it on sale and it is worth the money. It is exactly what I wanted and hoped for in a remote temperature sensor. It also had a little paper that came with it with the factory tested calibrations listed for this unit. I had a chance to do some initial testing with the Typhur Sync yesterday Feb 23rd 2024. I did a little runthough to get acquainted with it using a store bought already cooked Baby Back rack of ribs. Not the best choice as it was already cooked but at $10 from Costco it was ok to sacrifice. And it still turned out good. I Cooked on a Weber Genesis E-330 propane grill and used a smoke tube. In the past I have used this propane gas grill to smoke Ribs, Port Shoulders and Brisket with a Smoke tube. It is possible using one side burner and a Smoke Tube. I had also previously tried smoking with a custom smoker tray from Weber for my grill, which used wood chips, but that was mostly a failure. And I tried a Hot and Cold smoker unit on the back but it had limited success with the heat on. But using a smoke tube and one burner on low you can do an ok smoke on the grill if you can verify your temperatures. What I always struggled with was having faith in the grill hood's thermometer. It turns out the thermometer reads hotter than what the grill temps actually are around the meat! That resulted in an even slower low and slow cook and would not develope bark on pork shoulder. Using the Typher Sync you can see the internal meat temps on 5 spots in the thermometer Probe plus it has one external ambient temperature sensor. So 6 total temps per Probe and you get two Probes! When using the wifi mode it never looses signal. The base unit just should be kept close to the smoker, like 3 to 60 feet or so and it will relay the bluetooth data from the Probes immediately to the wifi so you can use the APP to see your status of the cook. Alternatively you can just use the base with wifi or bluetooth in a manual or smart mode. When I did my test it did a firmware update prior to the start of the cook as it told me one was available to install. That took like 2 minutes since it was already in wifi mode. The firmware version I used was: 100016. From the APP you can configure 1 or 2 Probes for individual use on the same hunk or meat or two separate items on the same or different grills with the same or different cooking parameters. It depends on how you set it up. You choose the meat type and cut and the final temp to reach for that cut with some temperature recomendations that you can adjust. It senses the internal temps from 5 internal sensors and displays an temps of all 5 and an average depending on if you are in Basic mode (white background with less details) or Professional Mode (black background and more details) The Professional mode seems best for me. Seeing all the temps helps to verify that the Probe is placed in a good location. If it is improperly placed some readings may read too hot meaning it is too close to the surface or exposed. So in those cases, reposition the Probe. On a thick peice of meat the cent most sensor will read cooler than the others depending on their distance to the surface. You can use the external sensors to help determin how to position the meet for your cooker or grill. All grills swwm to have hot and cooler areas. If it is cooler on one side or the other, reposition the meat to get it more equal. Or use the cooler side for the thinner end of the meat. This can also be verified by the checking internal temperatures or you can use both probes on the same piece of meat like I did for this rack of ribs which naturally has a thicher end and a thinner end. I have included some of the pictures from the cook with some photos of the base unit and others in the App at various times on the cooking process. The app displays a graph with the target internal ending temperature, The current and past temperatures of each of the 5 interal sensors and the 1 external sensor. Each Probe has its own graph line on the screen. You can slide back and forth between the Probes. You can also go back to the main status screen that shows basic stats of both Probes on one screen at the same time but no graphs or individual sensor readings. It main status screen shows the averaged current reading for internal tempurature, ambiant external temp, target temp and the estimated remaining time before reaching the target tempurature. This is the same as the base unit will display. The Pro version of the app can be selected by toggling the icon in the upper righthand corner. It displays all the same information as the Basic mode and much more. The Pro version displays separate graph lines for each of the 6 temperature sensors. It also displays an outline of the Prope near the top of the display along with the positions of all the sensors in the Probe! You can press one of the temperature sensors locations and it will highlight its graph line. You can further slide your finger around that graph line and it displays the temperature at that position on the line! But the App also warns you that your cook is within 5 minutes of completing with an autible sound if you have your notification sound volume turned up. It also displays a message on top of the current APP screen display. And when you start the cook it will warn that your notification sound is not turned on or up enough. It has messages for each Probe for 5 minute before the cook ends, when the Cook completes, Please remove your food from heat, and Cooking complete after it is done with the 5 minute resting period. It also will remind you that your Probe was not returned to the base unit after a while of sitting in normal room temperatures! Along the way those warnings alert you with a chime sound via your notification sound. It also warns you if your notification sound is turned off when you go to complete the setup of your cook. The base unit will also alert and sound for most of these steps as well. The sound on the base unit will stop when you acknowledge the warning/alert on the App or the unit. The app and base unit also tracks the battery levels of the base unit and both Probes. During the 3 hours I played with it they were at Full the whole time. The App also has a pretty extensive meat setting menu for selecting your type of meat: Beef Pork, Poultry, Lamb, Fish and Other and Manual setting. Other has Venison, Mutton, Kangaroo, Goat and Other! It also lets you select the type of cut for that meat with suggest temps for all cuts. If appropriate it gives you temperature selections for Rare, Medium Rare, Medium, Medium Well, and Well done for most meats. And you can overide any of those to chose your own setting if you like it a bit more or less done. The App also has recipes but there are not currently any taylored for use with a Typhur Sync. But there is also an "Explore" section in the App that had some good articles. Make sure you press the arrow > link to see them all. It has topics like Reverse Sear Steak Temperature and Time, Carryover Cooking: Remove Your Meat at a Lower Temperature than Target, Best Tri Tip Temp: How to Know If Tri Tip is Done, How Long to Grill Chicken Breast Perfectly Juicy and various other guides. The Typhur Sync is a very nice quality unit. It works well and it will be great for keeping track of a longer 10+ hour brisket or shoulder. Or even for shorter cooks in a air fryer or oven or grill where you want a particular internal temperature and do not want to over shoot it by waiting to long on a recheck with a hand held unit. Please see all the photos for better detail. The place where the ambient temperature drops was from opening the grill hood to put some sauce on the ribs and check things. Great Product!

Great Product, Even Better Customer Service
Size: 2 Probes, Size: 2 Probes
I purchased this product last August and had kept it in storage without using it even once. A few days ago, I finally took the thermometer out for its first use, but even after charging it, there was no response and it would not turn on at all. At first, I was very disappointed and confused because I had never even had a chance to use it. I contacted customer service and provided a detailed report, including my purchase information, the condition of the device, and photos. Their team responded quickly and arranged to send me a replacement right away for the unit that had apparently become completely discharged and unusable. They shipped the new device the very next day and also provided the tracking number. The replacement arrived safely a few days later, and I was very happy to use it today. The Typhur Sync WiFi Wireless Meat Thermometer is very convenient to use. I really like its clean design, app connectivity, and the way it provides accurate real-time temperature readings. On top of that, Typhur’s customer service was clear, fast, and very helpful, which made my overall experience even more satisfying.

Great Wireless meat thermometer.
Size: 2 Probes
The Typhur Sync WiFi Wireless Meat Thermometer works great. One of my favorite features is that it’s completely wireless—it makes cooking so much easier without having to deal with tangled cords. The phone app is a huge plus. It’s very convenient and versatile—you can use the preset settings or fully customize your cook. I especially like that you can set multiple alarms for different temperatures and situations. For example, I once forgot to check my wood chips and had an alert set if the temperature dropped below a certain point. Sure enough, the alarm went off, and when I checked, I was out of wood chips. That feature alone saved my cook. I also find the app much easier to use than the actual unit when setting everything up. As for accuracy, the temperature readings between the two probes are within a degree of each other and match up with my instant-read thermometer, which gives me a lot of confidence in the results. Overall, this is a reliable, user-friendly thermometer with great features. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone serious about grilling or smoking.

A Game-Changer for Perfect Grilling!
Size: 2 Probes
I've been using the Typhur Sync WiFi Wireless Meat Thermometer for a few months now, and it's hands down one of the best kitchen gadgets I've invested in. This thing is incredibly reliable, accurate, and convenient, making it a must-have for anyone who loves cooking meats to perfection without constant babysitting. Whether I'm smoking brisket low and slow or grilling steaks for a quick dinner, it delivers spot-on temperature readings every time, helping me avoid overcooking or undercooking disasters. I give it a solid 5 stars! One of the cool features is that it comes with two probes, clearly labeled with numbers 1 and 2. Just a heads up—you have to start with probe 1 inserted first for the system to recognize and sync properly; it's a minor quirk but easy to remember once you get the hang of it. The probes themselves and base are battery-operated and include USB-C rechargeable batteries, which is super handy—no more hunting for disposable ones. The probes charge automatically when inserted into the base. Charging them is straightforward, and they hold up well during long cooks. The real standout is the companion phone app, which elevates the whole experience. The wireless base unit connects to the probes via Bluetooth, but it can't be too far away from them, or they'll lose connectivity (I'd say keep it within 20-30 feet outdoors, depending on obstacles). That's where the app shines—it links to the base over WiFi, allowing you to monitor everything from your phone no matter how far a2ay you are, as long as the base is connected to the internet. I've checked on my roasts from the grocery store or even while running errands, getting real-time alerts for target temps or when it's time to rest the meat. It's freed me up to multitask without worrying. One small downside is that the base takes a long time to charge fully—sometimes a few hours—and it does drain slowly even when not in use, probably due to some standby power draw. I've gotten into the habit of plugging it in regularly, even between uses, to keep it ready to go. It's not a deal-breaker, but worth noting for anyone who might forget. Overall, for the price and performance, the Typhur Sync is worth every penny. It's made my BBQ sessions stress-free and consistently delicious. If you're serious about meat thermometry, grab this—you won't regret it! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
