If you liked the model, you can boost me for free :)
It helps me to publish more models in the future.
Thanks!

As many have asked for it, here is the PETG Temperature Tower (e.g. Bambu PETG).

PETG Test for 240 - 270 °C

------

Check out my other temperature towers:

Normal PLA: https://makerworld.com/en/models/506049#profileId-421778

PLA+: https://makerworld.com/en/models/512691#profileId-428788

------

The attached .3mf file contains the corresponding gcode for the Heat-Temperature-Tower.
The print takes about 2 hours (tested on my BambuLab A1).

Instructions:
0. Use a Mac / PC. The mobile app does not support custom gcode.

1. Click “Open in Bambu Studio” or download the .3mf file via the drop-down arrow text to “Download or Print” and select “Download STL”.
2. (Open the .3mf file with Bambu Studio) Click on "slice plate" and then on "print plate".
3. After the print is finished, you can evaluate the temperature tower in terms of stringing, accuracy (e.g. overhangs, cones etc.).
4. It also makes sense to evaluate the temperature tower destructively. For example, you can use pliers to break off individual layers of each temperature range and find the optimum layer strength for your PETG.

------

Info: If you have the problem that only eg. 250 degrees are shown for the whole tower after slicing:

Please click on the drop-down arrow next to the "Download or Print" button here on the website and select "Download STL". Download the file there.

It seems that the "Open in Bambu Studio" option is blocking the gcode right now for some people.

------

My temperature tower tests the Bambu PETG with linear overhang (35° & 45°), radial overhang (4 mm & 6 mm radius), bridging, stringing, cones / circles and simulates "drill holes" and much more.

Hello, neither downloading the .3mf file and importing into Bambu Studios loaded the correct temperature gradient. Slicing the plate and looking at the temperature per layer, everything is set to the default temperature of PETG.

Hi! Please have a look at my discussion with pea_shooter and try the steps I mentioned there. Does it work now?

Replying to @NutellaPizza :

Hello @NutellaPizza , I'm the newest of newbies and have been struggling for days to get your PETG tower to slice into gradient temps. Remains a solid 255. Don't know how to modify G-code yet so I'm bothering you for help. I select A1 mini along with generic PETG. Is this part of the problem Should the profile remain "All" along with Bambu PETG? I have tried slicing with these settings and get the same, solid 255 results.

Replying to @user_2973671300 :

Hi @user_2973671300 I'm sorry to hear that you're having problems with my model. You don't have to adjust the G-code, because that's what my model is for :) The corresponding G-code is already in there. Just to make sure that the download runs correctly for you. Please click on the arrow next to the green download button here on the website and select "Download STL". Then open the file with Bambu Studio and click on "Slice" in the top right-hand corner. Select "Temperature" from the dropdown and see if you can see a color gradient here. I have just tested it with different printer profiles and filament profiles. It worked for me. Does it work?

great test literally no stringing. later adhesion is perfect. overhang shows separation between the layers but that’s to be expected with such an extreme. very happy.

@user_2438317009

after an hour reading comment, googling, redditing, head scratching and changing the whole bunch of settings that i don't know the customs heat gcode finally work. i'm highly advise against just "open in bambu studio" and download the .3mf files, just select "download STL/CAD file", unzip and drop into bambu studio. i don't know that this is a bug by bambu studio or please nutellapizza, review the files, i don't know anythings differ but the test files should not be this confused to make it work :( anyways, thanks a lot for the design.

It was ok.

great! I accidentally broke it before taking a picture. I would give 5 Stars but MakerWorld doesn't allow me to (Error: To To give a 4-5 star rating, at least one successful print record of this print profile is required.)

@Pea_shooter

I printed it but I didn't see many differences between layers.

The designer has replied

@NutellaPizza

Hey Pea_shooter, Can you please double-check that the gcode in the slicer worked? To do this, slice the plate and then click on "Temperature" at the top right drop-down menu under "Color scheme". It should then look like the attached screenshot. If not, please check your settings and read my instructions again. It should also be noted that PETG is a highly hygroscopic material. The humidity should not exceed 20 % and it may need to be dried. If you have opened a new PETG roll, you may see less stringing etc. as it is very dry. NutellaPizza

Replying to @NutellaPizza :

the color looks like that. but how do I change it?

@NutellaPizza

Replying to @Pea_shooter :

Ok, then we've found the problem. Please follow these steps from my instructions and have a look at the attached screenshots. Does it work now? ------ 1. Click “Open in Bambu Studio” or download the .3mf file via the drop-down arrow text to “Download or Print” and select “Download STL”. 2. (Open the .3mf file with Bambu Studio) Click on "slice plate" and then on "print plate".

The G-code for the temperature doesn't seem to work for me. I have to manually change it when reaching certain heights.

The designer has replied

@NutellaPizza

Hi @dnhandy Before you give a 3-star rating next time, please read the instructions carefully from the respective model uploader. I have listed exactly what to do. And above all, what to do if the temperature is not displayed correctly. There are also some comments under this model from people who have also had the temperature displayed incorrectly. So far, following my instructions exactly has helped everyone. My model contains the necessary gcode, please follow the instructions. If it still does not work, you are welcome to contact me again here.

@dnhandy

Replying to @NutellaPizza :

My apologies. I am new to this community and I was not aware that leaving a 3-star review was taboo. I 3-star bad? I thought that 3 was "average", 4 was above average and 5 was exceptional. I was under the impression that giving reviews was incentivized because the community valued honest feedback. In the future, I shall refrain from reviewing models unless I find them to be 5-star. Sorry about that.

@NutellaPizza

Replying to @dnhandy :

No, that's not what I said. I simply asked you to follow the instructions of the respective uploader (in this case that would be me). This is important for models with gcode because it is sometimes blocked by the “Open in Bambu Studio” function. But that is also in my instructions. For other models that are plugged together, for example, there are also detailed instructions on how to set the distances in Bambu Studio depending on the material. I have well over 1.5 k downloads with my Temperature Towers, and about 20 people have reported that the gcode did not work. This has all been solved by people following my instructions under the model and then downloading the .stl directly here. You can also see the comments under this post, where I have provided additional support. That's one of the things my model is there for, so that nobody has to enter the gcode manually. And yes, a 3 star rating is considered a low rating here. In fact, after the latest update from Makerworld, you now have to provide a description of the problem. To be honest, I just think it's a bummer to get a low rating because a simple instruction was not followed. If other problems arise, just write a comment and I'm happy to help where I can.

Only problem is that you must configure manually the temperature for each level but that's the same with all temperature towers.

Hi @adrigarro Can you please double-check that the gcode in the slicer worked? Because my model includes the necessary gcode, you shouldn't have to adjust the temp manually. Just to make sure that the download runs correctly for you. Please click on the arrow next to the green download button here on the website and select "Download STL".

@McRoostr

Can’t get it to work in Bambu handy, but I’ve never found a temp tower that just works, none of the brands have made it easy. I’m sure it’s a good file, I just don’t want to bother with a temp tower. I hate having to get the laptop out.

The designer has replied

@NutellaPizza

Hi @user_2638007025 As written in my instruction in step 0, Bambu Handy does not work because it blocks the necessary gcode. "0. Use a Mac / PC. The mobile app does not support custom gcode." However, this is not due to my model, but to BambuHandy. The gcode modification is important as it is used to set the temperatures. Your only option is to do it via your PC / Mac.
