I Purchased Polymaker support material and then i contracted Bambu support for setting. Bambu said to tell the printer it was PVA. Now I was using PLA for the actual print and PVA as support material. When i was printing the printer increased the temperature to about 270 i believe. It was high like Nylon. Everything worked but there was a problem. When the printer switched from PLA to PVA i had to wait for the temperature to increase for the PVA and of course from PVA back to PLA which was not a problem. I thought that the Polymaker PVA was really meant for high temperature materials.
Tonight I see a flash sale on Amazon for Tronxy Support material dissolveable like the Polymaker D1. The Tronxy is dissolvable like the Polymaker but at 190 to 210 like PLA LOW TEMPERATURE. The color of the Polymaker D1 is similar to Bambu Support G. The Tronxy is white like Bambu Support W which could just be coincidence.
Question is should i just tell my Bambu X1 Carbon dual AMS that the Polymaker D1 is PLA and will it work at the lower temperatures or set the printer for PVA and change only the temperature setting between 190 and 210?
Hope i was able to articulate my question so some Einstein can answer in simpleton terms.
I think you made a mistake somewhere - the “Generic PVA” profile has a max temperature of 240, same as PLA. Perhaps you selected PA (Nylon) instead?
Help me out here. I went to the printer, and I told it PVA. The temperature range is 190 to 250. The generic PLA is 190 to 230. I was vague when I said 270 “I Believe” before because, at the top of my head, I said 270. I should be more accurate with my numbers since this is a temperature issue I apologize.
So on the printer temperature range is 10 higher than your max temp. If I knew this dissolvable material would work at the same temperature as PLA, that would be great. If this is true, then I would need to set the lower temperature at 220; for example, the PLA and the PVA will work at 220 that should work; what do you think? Also, where would you change the temperature value of the PVA on the printer or software, and can you set up a profile for the Support PVA that could be saved at the lower temp?
YES, it is entirely possible I made a mistake since every day I learn how much I don’t know!
What do you think and what would you suggest
As I wrote, the profile for Generic PVA has the same temperature range as that for Generic PLA. Farther down on the page are the target temps, and it’s 220 for both.
I suggest you try it again and pay attention to the profiles selected. PVA and PLA work well together.
Hello, please tell me, I am looking for a PVA filament with an RFID chip, which brand can you suggest? I can’t find it, I need it with a chip
If Bambu doesn’t offer one, which it doesn’t, nobody does, since Bambu is the only one that knows how to properly encode the RFID tags. Why do you need the tag? The slicer already knows how to deal with soluble filaments.
