Bambu Lab PLA Pure: Certified Food-Safe Filament

Bambu Lab Brings PLA Pure to Germany

Bambu Lab is now offering PLA Pure in Germany as well. This is 1.75 mm filament that is intended to stand out through the use of only a few ingredients and the presence of various certifications. The filament is now available in five colors: Milky Pink, Baby Blue, Apricot, Pure White, and Absolute Black. The MSRP is listed at €28. The lowest price for 10 filament spools or more is listed at €12.60. The MSRP drops to €25 if customers only need the filament without a spool and can, and want to, respool it themselves. As usual, the prices apply to 1 kg of filament.

Target Audience and Safety Features

We have already reported on PLA Pure before. With this filament, Bambu Lab is targeting users who want to make toys or prints intended for food contact, for example. Not only the finished products but also the printing process itself are supposed to be more or less “safer.” Compliance with the UL Greenguard 2904 certification is advertised, which is said to mean that less fine dust, particulates, and VOCs are released than are already measured in most households anyway. Comparred with other PLA filaments, Bambu Lab says emissions are indeed lower, though these figures obviously cannot be verified by us.

Important Cautions and Additional Guidance

Here, too, it should be clearly noted once again that using PLA Pure does not automatically result in products that can be classified as safe for people who sell creations through Etsy, for example. Other rules still apply, such as those relating to choking safety. Bambu Lab now also provides further guidance on proper use in a corresponding Wiki article. They have been very careful to not overstate what the material can do, which is good for everyone envolved. The filament seems to be a good choise for those who want to reduce their risk while printing, but its not a magic bullet for all safety concerns.
