Proudly Australian-owned and operated 🇦🇺. Print Ready 3D started the way a lot of good Australian small businesses do — small, hands-on, and selling genuine Bambu Lab filament on eBay, one order at a time. There was no warehouse and no call centre, just us packing, labelling and posting every roll ourselves.
The idea itself came from a simple frustration: buying a brand-new spool of filament every time the old one ran out, when the spool itself was still perfectly fine. Full spools cost more, create more plastic waste, and take up more space in the AMS than they need to. Refills solve all three problems — but genuine, reliable refills that actually fit an AMS properly were hard to find in Australia. So that's what we started stocking: genuine Bambu Lab filament, sold as bare refill rolls rather than full spool-and-all packages. No knockoffs, no relabelled generic filament — just the real thing, vacuum-sealed with desiccant, ready to drop straight onto your existing spool.
As more Australian Bambu Lab owners found us on eBay and kept coming back, it became clear this deserved to be more than a side listing. So we brought everything we'd learned about genuine filament, careful packing and fast Aussie shipping over to a proper store of our own — printready3d.com.au. What began with a single PETG Basic refill now covers PETG Basic and PLA Basic in a wide range of colours, plus our PETG Mystery Packs — and we're adding more Bambu Lab materials as we bring them into stock. Every roll is genuine Bambu Lab, and every colour is browsable by category in the shop.
We're still an Australian-owned and operated online store — no physical shopfront, just fast dispatch straight to your door. Orders placed before 2:00pm AEST on a business day go out the same day, with free standard shipping Australia-wide and a paid express upgrade available at checkout if you need it sooner.
Our eBay days left us with a track record built the honest way: real transactions and genuine, unprompted feedback from buyers happy with how their orders were packed, described, and shipped. That same approach carries over here — accurate colours, honest descriptions, and fast communication if anything ever needs sorting out.
We're still a small, focused team, not a big-box warehouse — which means the person packing your order actually cares whether it arrives in good shape. Growing the catalogue was only ever going to happen if it genuinely helped the same kind of customer we started out serving on eBay: people who print a lot, care about their gear, and don't want to keep buying spools they don't need. That's still the whole point.
