ReFill Filaments

Yes — Filamentive ReFill filaments are compatible with the Bambu Lab AMS where listed as compatible on the product page. ReFill V2 features a notch-and-pin design that aligns directly with the Bambu Lab Reusable Spool, allowing it to feed reliably through the AMS without modification. We recommend using the Bambu Lab Reusable Spool and selecting the appropriate filament profile in Bambu Studio for best results. Filamentive is an independent brand and is not officially associated with or endorsed by Bambu Lab.

Yes — Bambu Lab printers can use third-party filament, including Filamentive ReFill. Bambu Lab printers use standard 1.75mm filament and are not locked to first-party material. For AMS use, third-party filament refills need to be loaded onto a compatible reusable spool. Filamentive ReFill PLA and ReFill PETg are both widely used in Bambu Lab X1, P1, and A1 series printers across the UK.

Filamentive stocks Bambu Lab-compatible filament refills in the UK with free next-day delivery. Our ReFill PLA and ReFill PETg are made with up to 99% recycled material and are designed to work with the Bambu Lab Reusable Spool and AMS. All orders are dispatched from UK stock — no international shipping delays. Bulk orders of £99+VAT qualify for 30% off.

To load a Filamentive ReFill onto the Bambu Lab Reusable Spool, remove the refill from its packaging and carefully unwind the outer seal without tangling the filament. Lay the roll on a clean surface, align the notch on the Filamentive ReFill cardboard core with the pin on the Bambu Lab Reusable Spool, and press until secure. The filament end can then be fed into your AMS as normal. Full setup instructions are available on the individual ReFill product pages.

For most users, PLA is the best starting point for Bambu Lab A1, A1 Mini, and P1S printers — it’s reliable, easy to print, and works well at the print speeds these machines are designed for. Filamentive ReFill PLA is made with up to 99% recycled material and is compatible with the Bambu Lab AMS where listed. For functional parts requiring greater durability, ReFill PETg is a strong alternative. Both materials are available in UK stock with free next-day delivery.

Bambu Lab first-party filament is priced at a premium relative to third-party alternatives. Filamentive ReFill filaments are typically around 25% less expensive than traditionally spooled filament, without compromising on material quality. Made with up to 99% recycled content and supplied in spool-free ReFill format, they reduce both cost and plastic waste. Bulk orders of £99+VAT receive 30% off, making them well-suited to print farms, businesses, and university makerspaces.

Yes — Bambu Lab produces a dedicated Reusable Spool designed specifically to be used with filament refills rather than disposing of a new spool with every roll. The Bambu Lab Reusable Spool is compatible with Filamentive ReFill V2, which features a notch-and-pin cardboard core that clips directly into place. This reduces plastic spool waste by approximately 20% compared with standard spooled filament.

Yes — Filamentive customers can access a free PLA waste recycling scheme, achieving 100% landfill diversion. This is particularly relevant for Bambu Lab AMS users, who generate PLA waste through purging, failed prints, and colour-change sequences. Eligible customers register, collect their waste, and arrange a free collection. If you qualify as a customer, no PLA waste from your Bambu Lab 3D printing goes to landfill.
