These are my most frequently used filaments for 3D printing as a hobbyist, so if you're new to printing or just curious, I hope this is helpful! 90% of my printing is done with PLA, but I also use a bit of PETG, TPU, and ABS along with some dedicated support material.

Some of my favorite Bambu filaments:
•Translucent PLA: tidd.ly/4rqpIOv
•Translucent PETG: tidd.ly/4drxDXy
•This awesome teal: tidd.ly/42tAGIn
•TPU for AMS: tidd.ly/3NvSPB8
•Support Filament: tidd.ly/4wlAdG0

🖨️ My Printers:
•P2S: tidd.ly/3LIk62I
•X2D: tidd.ly/4crVMeR
•H2C: tidd.ly/4bqNTH9
