New filament calibration

Bambu Lab A Series Bambu Lab A1 mini
1

Hello,
I have my A1 mini since 3 weeks now. Love it.
I printed original bambu lab PLA and know I have some PETG form Overture, ,cause the bambu lab PETG HF is impossible to buy.

My question is as for all other filaments:
How do I calibarte the filament cause it is not in Bambu Studio?

I saw some videos with flow etc. but will it set also the bed temperature the nozzle temperatur or only flow?

There is a lot missing in the videos and I cant find any good written tutorial how to do it. Even on the wiki there is nothing written about temperature.

I want to try some different brands for PLA; PLA + or high flow PLA and same for PETG.

Sorry for inconvinience but this is my very first contact with 3d printing.
Thank you

For all the other brands you can use the built in “Generic” filament profiles and they work really well. There are also some Polymaker, eSun, Overture and Sunlu profiles built in.

The filament makers will have a suggested nozzle and bed temp for their filament. Traditionally you would print a temp tower if you needed to dial the filament in more.
