How to edit default Filament Profiles

Hello,

how can I edit the default Bambulab PLA BASIC Profile. I understand how to make a copy and edit the copy. But in this case, I lose all the benefit of the RFID Chip on original Bambu Filament. I have manual assig my copied profile at every Filament Change.
Example: For me I want to print Bambu PLA Basic everytime with Bed Temp 60C.

@Bambu: ist there a way to assign a user filament Profile to the RFID readings? This would be the best solution, I think for all power user.

Thank You.

I started down this rabbit hole today and I havent’ found an easy way of doing this. I have a P1P and P1S that have problems at 55 degrees but print fine at 60 and above for pla basic. I too want to set my p1s to default to 60 degrees for the bed temp for pla basic. On the P1P profile the temp is 65 and everything prints and adheres great, just have the popup of using wrong profile. I’d like to edit the profile lol.

I’ve failed so many prints because PLA doesn’t stick to the bed at 35 degrees. I have profiles with that temp set to 60, but every time it syncs to the printer it reverts to the default settings.

Any updates on this? It is quite annoying to manually select the flow rate calibrated profile every time.

Also running into this… the Bambulab PC filament doesn’t stick to the bed at the default 110C but if I bump it up to 120C it sticks. Can’t find any way to make the change permanent.

Edit: Think I found the location of the default filament profiles. Haven’t tried updating them yet:

C:\Program Files\Bambu Studio\resources\profiles_template\Template\filament

I can confirm that the Bambu Labs templates are at:

C:\Program Files\Bambu Studio\resources\profiles\BBL\filament

The ones @Tailslide mentioned appear to be for the ‘Generic’ profiles. All of the files are .json so in theory can be edited, but I haven’t tested.

You have to change it in %appdata%/Roaming/BambuStudio/System/BBL/filamant.
Then u have to change it sometimes in Bambu xxxx @Base or in the Bambu xxx @BBL.
But bevor update the Bambu Studio, save the settings and paste it after the update. Possible that a update replace it.

This is a fantastic question and a common frustration for many users. The inability to simply duplicate a default profile is a big miss, and your workaround is a smart solution. It’s great to have a discussion about this, as it highlights a much-needed quality-of-life feature for power users. Thanks for bringing it up!

You may want to look into Tiger Tags. From the very little I’ve read it is a RFID system that links RFID chips into slicers, filament inventory and filament profiles.

Depending on your setup, if you’re handling the gcode in a linux environment before it ends up on machines (aka not via bambu cloud) find a way to inject this on the files

sed -i ‘s/M140 S55/M140 S60/g’ your.gcode

gcode is just text and can be postprocessed as such

Hey, did you know, unrelated, that if bambu or an attacker were to be doing that on the cloud-side for their print service, you’d never know? Cool, huh. Less cool when its m140 S999, or g0 z-255
