Which build plate should I use?
Bambu PLA Basic sets a bed temperature for each plate:
- Textured PEI plate: 55 °C
- Smooth PEI plate: 55 °C
- Cool plate: 35 °C
- Engineering plate: not supported
- SuperTack plate: 45 °C
Why is my PLA stringing?
Try 5 to 10 °C below the 220 °C that Bambu PLA Basic sets, since a cooler nozzle strings less (Prusa Knowledge Base). A spool that has taken on moisture strings badly, so try a dry one (Prusa Knowledge Base).
Why does PLA clog in an enclosed printer?
Bambu PLA Basic heats the bed to 55 °C, and PLA softens below 60 °C, so Bambu Lab says to open the front door or remove the top glass once the bed passes 45 °C (Bambu Lab wiki).
Where do these values come from?
From the profiles Bambu Studio ships, read at BambuStudio v02.09.01.70 (56a57d0). Where a filament profile leaves retraction unset, the table shows the printer profile's value.
