Looking for a comprehensive and professional G-Code Manual for Bambu L

Hi,

Does anyone know where I can find a complete and detailed manual for the G-code used by Bambu Lab?

Thanks.

There are plenty of posts here that have lots of information. You may want to give the search function a try first and see what fits your needs.

I’m looking for a complete and professional programming G-code manual. There is a lot of fantastic information out there, but it’s fragmented across many posts, and in many cases, incomplete. By the way, I appreciate your answer.

OK. Your posted sounded like you were seeking user documentation and quite frankly there is no one compendium.

You’re right in that G-code documentation is very fragmented. Part of the problem is that G-Code was borrowed from 30 year old CNC machine technology back when RepRap printers first came on the seen. It has ben extended quite a but since then into supporting 3D printing. Essentially CNC is removal of material with a cutting head and as you know, 3D printing is an additive technology.

Part of the challenge you will face is that there is no one beginners guide per-se . Although there are may “reference” guides. So unfortunately, no one-stop shop to pick up the tech easily. What I would recommend is simply going to YouTube and searching for 3D Printing Tutorials. That’s where I learned most of my tips.

Check out the two reference links in this post. They are probably a great place to start because at the very least, the reference are for G-Code used in 3D Printing. Also, I know that Wikipedia has a great reference page that has loads more links. But at the end of the day, you will find yourself going down many rabbit holes as some resources will be too fundamental and others too deep or narrow for what your looking for.

List of supported g-code commands

The Marlin Gcode reference is a decent place to start of general 3d printing.

Thanks to both of you. Throughout my professional life, I’ve been working on programming CNC machines, so I need more advanced documentation about the codes used by Bambu Lab. There are slight differences between brands, and in the G-code Marlin references guide I couldn’t find some specific codes for my Bambu Lab machine. By the way, thanks a lot.

This is the most comprehensive list currently.

Bambu Lab X1 Specific G-Code

Right now there’s no documentation from Bambu around what standard and non-standard G-code commands can be used on the X1 series of printers. As for the standard commands, this Marlin cross reference is great but please note that Bambu doesn’t implement all of it, and some things that are implemented behave a bit different than stated there. This will be a constantly evolving thread to document these until Bambu publishes some official documentation. Some things are certain, some things may be…

a complete and detailed manual

Searching for bits and pieces strewn across the forums is sort of the opposite of what they asked for.
