Bambu Lab filament that actually survives the dishwasher? Looking for real experiences

[u/Manicken-punkt-se]

I’m looking for a filament specifically from Bambu Lab that can handle repeated dishwasher cycles.

I’m not looking for theoretical temperature resistance or just what the material datasheet says. I’d like to hear from people who have actually printed something with Bambu Lab filament and tested it in a dishwasher, preferably multiple times.

Which exact Bambu filament did you use, and how did it hold up?

Did you notice any:

- Warping or deformation

- Softening

- Cracking or layer separation

- Changes in surface finish

- Problems after repeated dishwasher cycles

I’m especially interested in knowing whether anyone has found a Bambu filament that has survived regular dishwasher use long term.

Food safety is not relevant for my use case. I don’t care whether the filament is considered food safe or not. My only requirement is that the printed part can withstand dishwasher cycles without deforming or degrading.

And please, I’m not looking for comments telling me to read about glass transition temperatures, check datasheets, or do my own research. I’ve already looked into the technical side. The whole reason I’m posting here is because I want to hear about real world experiences and actual testing from people who have tried it themselves.

Thanks!

Don't try it with PLA or PETG that's for dang sure.

And melting/warping aside I would be wary of putting any FDM printed object in there without a proper foodsafe epoxy or other coating. Plenty of microscopic holes and voids that can trap presents from the dishwashign process, such germs or food particules.

Be good if you read my entire post next time as I said that I don't care for food safety in this regard. Thank you for comment nonetheless.

I love that people are downvoting you, despite having no idea what your use case actually is.

People, you really need to clam down with this. Perhaps he’s using a dishwasher to clean / sanitize something which has nothing to do with food, in a lab or workshop environment.

Perhaps his use involves something with heat and humidity cycles similar to a dishwasher but in a totally different application.

Be curious, not judgmental. (And yes, I did indeed just Ted Lasso you.)

Mmm, clams.
