Bambu Lab Support for PLA Filament 1.75mm 500g
Bambu Lab Support for PLA Filament 1.75mm 500g
The newer of Bambu's two break-away supports for PLA, and the one to reach for if PLA is what you print. Bambu developed this formulation specifically as an interface layer, optimised for easy peeling — it releases more cleanly than the older PLA/PETG support, and leaves a smoother face underneath.
It is also the cheaper and faster of the two — $24 against $29, and up to 200 mm/s against 100. The only thing you give up is PETG compatibility.

If you print PLA, buy this one. It is cheaper, twice as fast, and it is the one Bambu tuned for the interface. The PLA/PETG spool is worth the extra only when you actually need PETG support.
Worth knowing
Dry it cool — 55°C. That's the lowest drying temperature of anything we sell, and the spool itself is ABS rated to only 70°C. Don't put this one in a dryer set for nylon; you'll deform the spool.
Cool bed at 35–45°C, with glue. Works on Cool Plate SuperTack, Textured PEI or Smooth PEI.
Water absorption is low at 0.43%, so it's forgiving to store compared with the nylon supports or PVA.
