🐼 Bambu Studio Settings Cheat Sheet

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.

PLA – Safe Starting Profile

Nozzle temperature205–215 °C
Bed temperature55–65 °C
Layer height0.20 mm (standard), 0.12 mm (detail)
Wall speed140–200 mm/s
Infill speed180–250 mm/s
Flow ratio0.98–1.00
Cooling100% after layer 3
First layer190–205 °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).

PETG – Stringing-Resistant Starting Profile

Nozzle temperature235–250 °C
Bed temperature75–85 °C
Wall speed120–180 mm/s
Cooling30–60% (avoid 100% – can cause layer bonding issues)
Flow ratio0.96–1.00
Retraction distance0.8–1.2 mm
Retraction speed35–45 mm/s
First layer5–10 °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.

ABS / ASA – Enclosed & Stable

Nozzle temperature240–260 °C
Bed temperature100–110 °C
ChamberEnclosed, 40–60 °C
Cooling0–20% (too much causes layer splitting)
Wall speed100–160 mm/s
BrimRecommended 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.

TPU – Flexible Filament Safety

Nozzle temperature215–235 °C
Bed temperature35–50 °C
Print speed40–80 mm/s (much slower can increase consistency)
RetractionVery low or disabled
Flow1.00–1.05 (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.

PA / Linear Advance Notes – Bambu Studio

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.

FAQ – Bambu Studio Settings

Do I need to change Bambu’s default PLA profile?

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.

Why is my Bambu PETG stringy?

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.

Can I use these settings on third-party filament?

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.
