Fast starting points for Bambu Studio on X1, P1 and A1 printers. These are realistic ranges for PLA, PETG, ABS/ASA and TPU you can tweak for your filament brand and room temperature.
| Nozzle temperature | 205–215 °C |
| Bed temperature | 55–65 °C |
| Layer height | 0.20 mm (standard), 0.12 mm (detail) |
| Wall speed | 140–200 mm/s |
| Infill speed | 180–250 mm/s |
| Flow ratio | 0.98–1.00 |
| Cooling | 100% after layer 3 |
| First layer | 190–205 °C nozzle, 60–65 °C bed, slower (50–70 mm/s) |
For most generic PLA on a Bambu printer, you can start with the built-in profile and only adjust temperature + flow if you see dull surface (too cool) or stringing (often too hot or too much cooling).
| Nozzle temperature | 235–250 °C |
| Bed temperature | 75–85 °C |
| Wall speed | 120–180 mm/s |
| Cooling | 30–60% (avoid 100% – can cause layer bonding issues) |
| Flow ratio | 0.96–1.00 |
| Retraction distance | 0.8–1.2 mm |
| Retraction speed | 35–45 mm/s |
| First layer | 5–10 °C hotter nozzle, slower speed, slightly lower fan |
PETG benefits from slightly slower speeds and gentler cooling than PLA. If you still get heavy stringing, try lowering nozzle temperature in 5 °C steps or reducing fan speed.
| Nozzle temperature | 240–260 °C |
| Bed temperature | 100–110 °C |
| Chamber | Enclosed, 40–60 °C |
| Cooling | 0–20% (too much causes layer splitting) |
| Wall speed | 100–160 mm/s |
| Brim | Recommended for corner lift control |
Focus on stable chamber temperature, minimal drafts and a clean, well-prepped build surface. Slow down first-layer speed and use a brim on tall or sharp-cornered parts.
| Nozzle temperature | 215–235 °C |
| Bed temperature | 35–50 °C |
| Print speed | 40–80 mm/s (much slower can increase consistency) |
| Retraction | Very low or disabled |
| Flow | 1.00–1.05 (depending on brand softness) |
Keep the filament path constrained and avoid aggressive retractions. If extruder skips or grinds, slow down and reduce retraction distance further.
Bambu printers handle most pressure control in firmware and motion tuning. You do not directly enter Pressure Advance or Linear Advance in Bambu Studio the way you do in Klipper or Marlin.
For most users you can start with the default profile and only tune nozzle temperature and flow for your filament brand. If walls look under-extruded or shiny and over-melted, adjust in small steps.
Common causes are printing too hot, too much cooling or retraction values copied from PLA. Lower nozzle temperature a bit, reduce fan speed and ensure you’re using a PETG-specific profile.
Yes. Always treat these as safe starting ranges. Check the manufacturer’s label, then land inside the overlapping range and tune based on actual prints.
