Introducing the new Bambu Lab PETG HF

I am excited that we now get a PETG that is fast, doesn’t string and doesn’t clump. I find it remarkable that people find the new filament reason to complain.

When sales are so high that the filament can’t be produced fast enough, you know the seller is succeeding and not about to go belly up. Not sure what is happening in the UK, is this about Brexit and tariffs?

Ordered some to compare to the elegoo and see if they are the same. Ill test it on my s1 and see if it can break 100mm3/s with the cht nozzle.

Hi,
Quick question for my clarity, so this filament does not print faster than PLA but can print faster than standard PETG?

Regards

Josh

Based on the chart in the product listing, it will be faster than standard PETG and just as fast as PLA – but you would only get the full speed on large volume print job where all the cooling happened while printing at full speed.

I had PETG that calibrated out faster than the PLA I was using, yet the slicer was showing the PETG print taking longer so I asked on Reddit (and oddly was called a child for not knowing, lol.). Due to the optimal cooling characteristics of each filament PETG you want to cool slower I’m assuming that stays true for this new HF and there are cooling settings for filaments where the printing will slow down if it needs to in order to have proper cooling and PETGs values means this potentially happens more often than PLA and the prints slow down slower than PLA.

I’m guessing you didn’t read what I said and just randomly hit the the keyboard.

Because you think this is true, when…

The very first line states I don’t run a business.

Wow, if you have been following everything I have said since I joined the forum you will know I am very disabled, had to shut my company down because of it and according to doctors have months left to live.

Thanks troll.

Getting back into 3D printing in as limited way as I am physically able has given me a little joy in an otherwise horrible existence.

You would also know I do not get most of my filaments from BL.

It’s almost like you haven’t read the things I said and just made up a load of things to be hurtful.

I was polite in my reply to you, but, you went in a different direction.

Thank you. Very much appreciated

I think you are a child for not knowing you are a child for not knowing.

:rofl:

Yeah, it’s still weird the second time around. :man_shrugging:

When can we choose the PETG-HF as filament in bambu studio

So all you would allow us to do is agree with you and join you in complaining about bad Bambu?!

I have actually tested PETG from several different brands which, according to you is all the same stuff, yet it was drastically different with Bambu performing better than Polymaker while being less expensive. This suggests your knowledge on the subject may not be as solid as you advertise.

You dont have to agree. Supplier(s).

Today, after I went to filament settings,

I was told of a configuration update

which provided a PETG-HF preset.

yes, I got it too. Interesting that they increase speed while lowering nozzle temperature!

But how to get it in Orca? I hoped it would synchronize this magically like filament profiles but it didn’t? It has the same settings for downloading new profiles but I didn’t get that message in Orca… yet…

We have many 3d printers and some of them are BL X1. We have used many different vendors for filament and never had any problems and we use the standard generic profile.

I’m looking forward to hearing about your experience. I’ve been using it now for about two weeks and would love to compare notes.

Good question. I think it will eventually show up in Orca, but for now it is probably best to create a user preset to match the settings shown in Studio for PETG HF.

FWIW, logging out of Orca and back in to force a sync does not work.
Also, trying to copy the appropriate .json files from C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\BambuStudio\system\ to the equivalent Orca folder not only did not work, but made all printers and filaments except Default unavailable in Orca. I had to delete the folder and reinstall.

Elegoo claims up to 600mms, it’s the first filament period i’ve ever gotten to work using Ludicrous mode period. My preset has all 100/200 mms settings set at 300mms for Elegoo Rapid PETG and prints come out fast and flawless, espeically on garolite build plates
