IF YOU HAVE A BAMBU THAT USES FILTERS- We 100% recommend this filter! It does AMAZING with keeping the smells of ABS down and the stinkier filaments that require airflow in the room.

Nice to have an additional build plate that has a textured vs non textured side. Totally optional, depends what kind of printing you’re looking to do! We don’t mind textured because none of our prints show the bottoms usually!
