These in-house developed print profiles are an excellent starting point for printing with our Pro PCTG. If you find a better setting for your 3D printer with our materials, please let us know, and we can look into revising and improving our stock profiles with your feedback.
Bambu Lab 3D Printers - 0.4mm Nozzle
For the best first-layer results, we recommend printing with the Engineering print surface. If you use PEI, the printed parts will stick too well and may damage your print surface.

what print surface do you recommend for this I have 2 beds with missing chunks now I'm printing on painters tape now haha
I am looking for print profiles for the Prusa line of printers, particularly Prusa Slicer.
Jon Fernandez,
I recommend the Bambu Lab Engineering print surface. Or, if you use PEI, make sure to use glue stick as a release agent otherwise it will stick too well.
ConnorB,
Which Prusa printer are you looking for a profile? We may be able to build a profile for a specific printer.
Otherwise, I recommend that you start with a PETG profile and set the hotend temp to 260C and dial it in from there.
I use the satin sheet (https://www.prusa3d.com/en/product/xl-satin-powder-coated-steel-sheet/) for anything not PLA essentially precisely because Prusa says "don't or you can destroy the PEI sheet". I have the MK3S+ and primarily use the Prusa XL (the one with the boogery nozzle: https://www.amazon.com/Diamondback-Nozzles-Compatible-Polycrystalline-Extrusion/dp/B09X61NG5S).
PETG and PCTG stick nicely to the satin sheet while PLA is borderline ("eh it's alright"). The PCTG is the only one offhand I can recall being boogery. The others just get really stringy/hairy.
Are there any 'process profile' tweaks that you would recommend or just stick with the stock settings?
I cant seem to find the Engineering print surface on Bambu Labs Website anymore.
I'm having a pretty frustrating issue with oozing with this PCTG on all of my MK3s+ (stock and Revo6). its to the point where id say 50% of my prints fail either by crashing or just making a huge blob of filament on the hotend. Is there a profile available for the MK3S+?
I have tried a generic PCTG filament preset and modified a PETG preset with no luck. I have adjusted temps, cooling, speeds, and I'm about to start tweaking retraction to see if I can figure something out but would love some advice if you might have something other than what has already been posted.
I would love some print profiles for Prusa Slicer. I'm currently using Prusa XL with various nozzle sizes.
Another for Pruss Slicer and the MK3s+-MK4s printer lineup.
