Bambu PLA & PETG Filament Calibration Temperature Tower
This temperature tower model is designed to help you calibrate the optimal printing temperature for Bambu PLA and PETG filaments. It features a progressive range of temperatures for both filament types:
- PETG: 220°C - 255°C
- PLA: 190°C - 225°C
The tower incorporates a variety of test features to assess print quality at each temperature setting:
- Overhangs
- Cones
- Fillets
- Horizontal and vertical circles
- Bridging challenges
By analyzing the printed tower, you can identify the temperature that produces the best results in terms of:
- Layer adhesion
- Surface finish
- Stringing
- Bridging accuracy
- Overall dimensional accuracy
This information will help you fine-tune your printer settings for superior results with Bambu PLA and PETG filaments.
How to Add Temperature Changes in Bambu Studio
Slice the Model: Open the 3MF file in your slicer software and proceed with slicing the model.
- Locate Layer for Temperature Change: Navigate to the preview tab within your slicer. Identify layer 55 (or a suitable layer for your desired temperature change) on the preview timeline.
- Insert Custom G-Code: Right-click the "+" icon next to layer 55 and select "Add Custom G-Code" from the menu.
- Implement Temperature Control: A text box will appear for entering G-code. Paste the following code, ensuring removal of the brackets: M109 S
- Set Temperature Value: Replace with the specific temperature you wish to introduce at layer 55.
Layers to add temperature change code:
Explanation:
- The provided G-code snippet utilizes the M109 command, commonly used in 3D printing to set the extruder temperature.
- By replacing with your desired temperature, this code instructs the printer to adjust the temperature at layer 55.
