Printer & Filament Details:
- Printer Model: Bambu Lab X1C
- Filament Used: Eryone PETG-CF
- Bed Adhesion: PEI Textured Plate, No Brim or Skirt Used
- Additional Hardware: Anti-Vibration Feet installed
The Issue:
I was printing multiple parts on one plate, and at layer 829, one of the pieces detached and fell over. I believe the printer bounced too much, potentially due to:
- High acceleration settings
- Speed settings causing vibrations
- Anti-Vibration Feet making the printer move more
Since I’m printing with PETG-CF, I want to maintain print speed as much as possible without sacrificing stability.

Acceleration Settings:
- Normal Printing: 8000 mm/s²
- Initial Layer: 500 mm/s²
- Outer Wall: 5000 mm/s²
- Inner Wall: 0 mm/s² (Disabled)
- Top Surface: 2000 mm/s²
- Sparse Infill: 100% mm/s²
Bed Adhesion & Support Settings:
- Skirt Loops: 0
- Skirt Height: 1 layer
- Brim: Currently Disabled (Considering Enabling)
- Brim Width (If Used): 5 mm (Might Increase to 8-10mm)
- Brim-Object Gap: 0.1 mm
Changes I’m Considering:
Testing Without Anti-Vibration Feet
I’ve noticed some users say Anti-Vibration Feet can make tall prints less stable by allowing slight movement in the printer itself.
I’m considering removing them to test if print stability improves.
Adjusting Acceleration & Speed
Lower Acceleration (8000 → 5000-6000 mm/s²) to reduce sudden printer movement.
Reduce Inner Wall Speed (300 → 200-250 mm/s) for better adhesion and stability.
Enabling a Brim or Raft
Brim (5-10mm): Helps with adhesion but may not be enough at high layers.
Raft: Might offer more stability but increases print time and material use.
Printing Parts Separately Instead of Multiple on One Plate
Reduces risk of vibration affecting tall parts.
Questions for the Community:
- Would removing Anti-Vibration Feet improve stability for PETG-CF?
- Would a brim (5-10mm) be enough, or should I go straight to a raft?
- Are my speed/acceleration settings too aggressive for PETG-CF?
- Has anyone else experienced detachment at high layers with PETG-CF?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance. I’ll share my results after testing!
