PETG - Bambu Studio

Introduction

This is a comprehensive materials settings guide to help get started!

The settings listed below have been found to produce the best results using Bambu Labs X1C in our test lab. However, every printer is unique and different, and settings need to be tweaked based on the hardware. Consider these parameters as a solid starting point rather than rigid, foolproof configurations. You can always reach out to us at info@numakers.com if you have any questions.
