Hi All,

My son is into RC models big time and would like to try an 3D Print an airplane just to see how it all works out and fly’s.

Has anyone have experience with this filament and printing it? If so could you share the settings with us for the Bambu Lab X1-Carbon, please.

Overture Air PLA

3D Lab Print J3 Cub

We have tried all the presets in the X1 and what the model recommends too but its for the A1 printer.

Any help on this would be much appreciated.
Thanks you,
KAP

I just used it on my Bambu X1-Carbon and… oh boy it wasn’t easy. I used brown Air PLA form overture.

After maybe 10 iterations I managed to make it print.

These are the settings I used to make it work:

  • retraction lenght: 5
  • initial speed layer: 10/15 mm/s
  • flow ratio: 1.127

Also used glue stick on a textured PEI sheet (first time ever).

I uploaded a print profile here if you want to test these settings out:

(search for maneki neko by Nico on makerworld)

though I think only the flow ratio will be updated there, the rest you need to update yourself.

Thank you so much for the help. I will give your settings a try.
