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:
-
Molecular Structure:
- PCTG contains cyclohexane dimethanol (CHDM), which gives it increased flexibility and toughness compared to PETG’s ethylene glycol structure.
-
Flexibility vs. Brittleness:
- PCTG is more ductile, allowing it to absorb and dissipate energy during impact without cracking or shattering.
-
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:
-
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.
-
Repeated Stress:
- PCTG can endure repeated bending or sudden forces better than PETG, making it more suitable for hinges, clips, and flexible parts.
-
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
-
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.
-
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:
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.

Simple and hassle free claims process
I have had to use my insurance policy for several items and the process was simple and hassle free. I mainly purchased this policy / subscription because of one very expensive item I bought with a likelihood off electronic or mechanical malfunction at some point and wanted it covered but I have used it for several other lower priced items that had failed on me. This type of policy would be great for household who purchases a lot of electronics which really isn't me.
But The process almost couldn't be easier.

Asurion is AWESOME!
Ok, so let me start with the fact that you should NOT waste your time calling Amazon's customer service if you think you have a claim under Asurion's monthly protection plan. CALL ASURION!
I wasted almost an hour with Amazon representatives that have absolutely no training in how the Asurion plan works, or even any idea if my item was covered. In fact, they told me the mechanized chair I purchased under the plan wasn't covered!
Finally, my call got escalated to a manager who was just as clueless about my coverage, but had the best idea ever... call Asurion!
The smartest thing I did that morning was hang up with Amazon, and reach out to Asurion as I should have done in the first place.
Dealing with Asurion's customer service, after my Amazon call, was like being elevated to VIP status! 😄
Asurion's rep nicely took all my info, including the chair's purchase date and order number. Then they asked that I upload a couple of pictures of the product, along with a written description of the malfunction I had mentioned over the phone.
This is where it gets really good. They told me they'd review the claim to determine if they'd send a repair
specialist or reimburse me the cost of the item. In less than 48 hours, they determined that a payout was in order, and sent me an email that included an Amazon gift card for the total cost of the item minus the taxes I had paid, which I loaded directly into my Amazon wallet. Apparently, Asurion does not include the purchase taxes in their coverage.
But, I can live with that.
All in all, Asurion's claims division get a double thumbs up 👍🏽👍🏽, and the company gets big ups from me for not only standing behind their protection plan, but doing so expeditiously!
Special note: If you buy a lot of stuff from Amazon, and have Asurion's monthly protection plan, scroll the item listing before pulling the trigger on your purchase... you need to see the green streamer that indicates your product is protected by the plan. If you don't see that, check to see if there are alternative products that might be covered. There are very few electronic or high ticket items that aren't covered, but looking for that green banner in the item description that says it's covered is key to foregoing any future headaches.

Glad to have Asurion Protection Plan!!! So easy to file a claim and get refunded!!!
I bought my ongoing protection plan about six months ago and had not used it for anything. About the same time, I purchased a small fountain for our front porch. A few weeks ago, the pump stopped working and I did everything I could think of to fix the pump, first check to see if the electrical outlet it had been plugged into still worked and it did. I then poured out all the water, added fresh water, then opened the pump to wash it out and remove any debris it had inside. There was none, and of course by now, the manufacturer's return date ended about four months ago. I was very nervous to submit a claim -- I was afraid I would get rejected, that I would have to pack up and return, or that I would be given 20 questions or more and provide mountains of paperwork to submit the claim. But it was surprisingly simple and easy, the person from Asurion was friendly and did her job incredibly well, my claim was created in their system in less than five minutes and I received a total refund minus the tax (turns out online retailer is not allowed to refund the tax because it was already paid to local and state governments. The cost of the fountain minus the tax was still about $165, which allowed me to upgrade to a much better water pump that had a higher output and also has something called "Burn Protection," ie overheating if the water level gets too low or if the pump gets plugged with debris. The total cost of the new pump was about $25 and has all kinds of amazing features as compared to the small fountain that didn't even have burn protection. I installed the new pump and it's working far better than the one that came with the fountain. Bottom line: I am so glad that I purchased the monthly protection plan from Asurion, and told my family how please I had it. They previously told me it was a waste of money and time because they wouldn't honor the claim. but they did, and I am so elated!

Stress and worry free with asurions complete protect plan
Absolutely thrilled with asurions complete protect plan. Worth every penny. My son is on the spectrum, and is very rough with devices, and I myself, am clumsy and go through devices more than the average person. Asurions comply protect plan, holds true and does exactly as promised. It feels so good to know, that next time a device breaks, I don't have to worry and stress over affording a replacement. Claims take literally 5 minutes to file, and I've not yet had an issue with anything not being covered. The only problem I ever had, was initially finding out how to contact them and file a claim. Which is simple. Don't contact Amazon, go to asurions direct website and follow the prompts. I highly recommend asurions complete protect plan, if you like removing stress from your life, and feeling a bit of security.

Worst company I’ve ever dealt with
This is probably the strongest version to use publicly because it stays factual, detailed, and angry without sounding unhinged. That’s what usually hits hardest with companies like Asurion because it reads like a documented timeline instead of just rage.
I have never dealt with a more disorganized and concerning claims process in my life than what I experienced with Asurion regarding my DJI Mavic Mini Pro 5 drone claim.
This entire nightmare started before the claim was even filed. For over TWO DAYS, multiple Asurion representatives insisted my product “wasn’t registered” and refused to process my claim. Meanwhile, Asurion’s own phone system literally states: “Great news, you no longer have to register your products.” Their own employees did not understand how their own system worked. I was transferred endlessly between departments, hung up on repeatedly, and even sent to Amazon support despite Amazon having nothing to do with the issue. It finally took speaking to a supervisor on the THIRD DAY for someone to admit they were wrong and manually file the claim.
I mailed my drone on May 4th regarding a serious GPS/compass issue where the drone would unexpectedly drift or take off on its own while recording. Considering this is a nearly $2,000 flying device, this was obviously a major safety concern.
Then things somehow got worse.
On May 5th — less than 24 hours after receiving the drone — I got an email saying it had already shipped back to me. No repair details. No explanation. Nothing.
When I called asking what repairs were actually performed, supervisor “CES” told me there were “no notes” explaining what had been done. She promised she would investigate personally and call me back within 24 hours.
She never called back.
On May 8th, after following up myself, another supervisor finally stated that the technician had “soldered/re-soldered” something on the drone. No explanation of WHAT was soldered. No detailed repair notes. No documentation. Nothing.
This is a drone that had ZERO physical damage and had NEVER been crashed.
I asked for written documentation of the repairs and was refused. I was told to “check the portal,” even though the portal contained absolutely no repair information whatsoever. Another supervisor apologized and promised to email me detailed information immediately.
That never happened either.
At this point, multiple supervisors had promised callbacks, documentation, and escalation reviews — and not a single one followed through.
The drone arrived back while I was still on the phone with Asurion. I powered it on and immediately received compass calibration errors. The drone would not properly calibrate.
So after all this, the drone STILL had issues.
Instead of taking accountability, supervisor “Ryan” accused me of “chasing a reimbursement check,” which is insane considering Asurion themselves only offer two resolutions: repair or reimbursement. He repeatedly insisted that because I “received a service,” the issue was basically over. He refused to acknowledge my concerns regarding undocumented soldering repairs on a nearly $2,000 aircraft and ultimately hung up on me.
Since then, the situation has only become more absurd.
Some supervisors told me the situation was unacceptable and assured me I would likely be reimbursed if I mailed the drone back. Others told me they needed more photos, receipts, and serial numbers — despite the fact that all of this had already been submitted previously and somehow “disappeared” from their system.
One representative demanded photos of a serial number physically located on the drone itself. I explained that DJI stores the serial information digitally through the controller/settings, something Asurion should absolutely know if they repair DJI drones professionally.
That representative then refused to help me further and hung up.
Days later, another representative suddenly approved a return shipping label anyway, making all the previous arguments and delays completely pointless.
Now, after weeks of this chaos, I’ve been told by another supervisor not to even send the drone back yet because they “aren’t sure what they’re going to do.” I was explicitly told they may not repair it and may not reimburse it either.
So to summarize:
* Asurion employees didn’t understand their own registration system.
* I was repeatedly hung up on and transferred around.
* Multiple supervisors promised callbacks and never followed through.
* My nearly $2,000 drone was “repaired” in under 24 hours with vague undocumented soldering work.
* Nobody can tell me exactly what was repaired.
* The drone still had calibration issues immediately after return.
* Supervisors contradicted each other constantly.
* Previously submitted documents mysteriously disappeared.
* I was accused of “chasing a check” for wanting accountability regarding a failed repair.
* I still don’t know whether they plan to repair, reimburse, or do nothing.
This has been one of the most frustrating, unprofessional, and concerning customer service experiences I have ever dealt with.
