Applies to all Bambu Lab printers. P1S and P1P owners: this is essential, because those printers can't calibrate automatically.
Steps
- Import and select our Pro PCTG filament and process profiles for your printer. See How to import profiles into Bambu Studio.
- Make sure the nozzle selected in Bambu Studio matches the one installed.
- Clean the nozzle and make sure the filament is dry.
- Open the Calibration tab, choose Flow Dynamics, then Manual Calibration. Select your nozzle, plate, and the Pro PCTG filament.
- Print the test pattern. The pattern test is easier to read than the line test.
- Choose the line with the cleanest corners and most even width, and save the K value to your Pro PCTG preset (and AMS slot).
Common mistakes
- Pressure advance not enabled. We've seen customers calibrate a value that never gets used. Check that it's turned on in the filament profile.
- The value disappears. Bambu Studio sometimes stops showing a saved value. Restart Bambu Studio.
- Running the Flow Rate test instead. Flow rate and flow dynamics are different calibrations. Flow dynamics is the one that sets pressure advance.
- Transparent colors on X1-series printers. The automatic calibration can struggle to read clear filament. Use manual calibration.
