How to get/ implement Filament settings from other Brand - Filament?

I used my old Anycubic i3 Mega S/ Cura many years and would like change to a P1S . I still have a lot of Anycubic PLA and PETG left. which I would like to use up first with the P1S.

I am wondering if there are is a site / database / user recommendations / whatever with the (Anycubic) Filament settings to migrate into Bambu Studio.

Thx in advance.

PS: I already spent some hours with searching but didn’t find a solution.

In such cases of migrating models or filaments, I proceeded by copying the print settings from the old slicer into Bambustudio and also the filament settings. That takes care of most of the work. You may still need a little fine-tuning here and there.

But basically you can use all filaments on P1S, just PLA and PETG. Use “Generic” if no other profile is available. Simply create a new filament profile and enter the appropriate values for the filament. The printing temperature for the filament is indicated on a label on the spool itself. You should not initially print PETG faster than 90mm/s. You should be able to print PLA up to 150mm/s without any problems. However, you could also print temperature towers to find the best settings. There are numerous calibration tools available.

Thanks, but that’s exactly what I wanted to avoid :slight_smile: Unfortunately, until everything really fits, you have to invest a lot of time.

Thank you anyway

If you stick to the old settings, which usually involve a slower print speed and lower print temperature, you should be successful. Because the Bambulab printers can cope with these settings. At least my X1C did when I came from the Cr20 Pro. I did it there in two cases: once with TPU and once with figures that I could print on the Cr20 but not on the X1C. The migration worked both times.

Perhaps someone will find someone who uses your filament.

The generic profiles almost always work fine for me regardless of filament brand.

From my experience, you can of course invest a lot of time into finr-tuning a filament for a Bambu.
But, as long as the filament is dry, you do not really need to. At worst, you’ll need ti slow down (in particular PETG) to pre-Bambu speeds.
