Bambu Lab PVA Support Filament - 500g
Bambu PVA is a water-soluble support material designed to make printing smoother. It offers strong support for intricate designs and overhangs, effortlessly dissolving in water post-printing. Compatible with various filaments, it streamlines post-processing and minimizes the risk of damaging your printed object during support removal.
Bambu PVA has the unique capability to dissolve in water, reaching deep into intricate areas to offer support where conventional methods may struggle. With Bambu PVA, you can now create and print models that were once deemed unattainable.
This material is versatile enough to accommodate zero top interface spacing, ensuring a flawless bond with the print surface. This guarantees precise and smooth support contact surfaces for your prints
Bambu PVA uses a premium formula that dissolves easily and completely in water, making support material removal effortless and eliminating the need for tedious manual cleaning.

Printing Tips
- Drying conditions: 80 °C for 12 hrs. To achieve optimal printing performance, it is recommended further drying before use and after storage.
- Please carefully read the PVA Printing Guide before starting the printing process.
-
PVA is suitable for use with AMS and AMS lite in a dry state. If the filament becomes soft or sticky due to moisture, it must be dried again before use to prevent issues such as feeding failure, nozzle clogging, and low print quality.
- PVA may darken in colour after extended storage or multiple drying cycles, but it won't affect its printing performance or support capabilities.
- Recommend to use normal support instead of tree support. Tree support is more likely to collapse during printing.
- Use warm water to speed up the dissolving process. But if supporting PLA, the maximum water soaking temperature should not exceed 50°C to prevent deformation of the main model.
- Waiting for complete dissolution is not necessary when soaking and dissolving PVA support. You can manually remove the partially dissolved PVA support to reduce the waiting time.

PALLETS DON'T SHIP VIA DPD - WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Some units can only be shipped safely on a pallet due to weight and/or size. Cut off time for orders shipping by pallet is 1.30pm, that’s because we need to book the job before 2pm.
Pallets are big and they ship on big lorries! If there is any problem with a dustbin-lorry size vehicle accessing your property, you need to let us know and we can request delivery by a smaller 7.5T lorry. If this is the case, then PALLET NEXT DAY may not be available.
Depending on your postcode your options at checkout will include PALLET NEXT DAY, PALLET 2-3 DAYS, PALLET COLLECTION HG4 2RN (organise your own pick-up). Some postcodes will show “PALLET 5-6 DAYS” etc.
Pallet deliveries are between 09.00 and 17.00 and we are unable to give you the ETA in advance.
We use a very reliable local supplier, and the pallets go in to the “Palletforce” network. Currently the network don’t use tracking numbers and you can't track online (coming in 2026). Call or email us to check on a delivery or collection.
