I looked and did not see the answer to my question. I’ve typo’d entering the K value after performing the manual calibration a few times in Bambu Studio. I would like to update that value without printing that chart again. Is there a way to bypass the chart and edit the K value?
You can enter K-value without running calibration first
In bambustudio: connecnt to your printer, just click on the little pencil, a window will open, where can set the K-value

I can’t do that. In the box that pops up, I can’t enter a value in the field for K. The dropdown for “PA Profile” just above is empty, so I suspect that you have to run the calibration to be able to edit the field for K. You can’t just start off from blank and just enter a value, even if you know what it should be.
The same holds true for the “Manage result”, as mentioned by @JayZay. You can’t just add something, you have to run some calibration, and then edit that.
It would have been good if they had allowed for manually entering values without running any of their calibration programs. In Orca it is possible to add the K value in the filament profile, but unfortunately not in Bambu Studio.

That’s another issue.
Just to be safe, are you editing for the correct nozzle size?
If you know the value, you can add it as a calibration result without completing the calibration.
The “cheating” process:
- Select manual calibration;
- Select the filament to calibrate (also check the nozzle diameter and plate type)
- Press calibrate button
You will be forwarded to a new page where the printing process starts.
- Press the stop button (red square at bottom)
- Confirm that the print was cancelled
- Press the next button
You will be forwarded to a new page where you can manually set the k value to a filament name.
- Add the k value and filament name and press finish.
You need to do it one by one, but it works.

I hadn’t tried that. So even if cancelling, you do get to set a value. Could be useful at some point, thanks for the tip!
Yes, you can. That I am aware is the only “manual” method that permits adding the PA advance to the printer memory.
Note that if you want to set the k value for a filament but not store it in the printer, you can:
- set in OrcaSlicer as it is shared with Bambu Studio.
- add it to filament start g-code.

Thank you guys. I’ll give it a try tomorrow.
I do not see Manage Results in the Calibration tab. I am using a P1P, is that why? Can you screenshot where your Manage Results link is at?
