I bought a roll of Overture PETG, used the generic settings and got ok results. The Overture website has a profile for the Bambu printers that I downloaded. When I uploaded the profile, all looked good, but then I can’t find a way to select it in Bambu Studios.
Can anyone help provide any guidance?
Best… Richard
In Bambu Studio in the line that says Project Filaments, at the right hand edge is a settings symbol. Click on that. In the pop up window there are two headings; System Filaments and Custom Filaments. Click on the Custom Filaments to set it up.
When selecting the filament for a print it will be in the Custom section in the pull down menu.
Thanks for your thoughts, Ed. What you described is exactly where I looked for the profiles after I imported them from the Overture Website. Unfortunately, they were not there.
The screen shots below show exactly where they showed up. For what its worth, I printed a number of parts with complex geometry with Overture TPU and PETG using these settings. They all printed awsome!
I love the Bambu PETG-HF, but ordering it can be a pain when they always seem to be out of one of the colors I am ordering. From now on, I will be using the Overture PETG. It prints a bit slower but that is not an issue for me.
Thanks again… Richard
I’ve just found that myself
Overture printer profile wiki points you to the download site but when I download and unzip the PLA folder, there’s nothing for the P2S.
I installed the P1S profile thinking it wouldn’t be that different, and it appears to be installed OK
But when I try to select it, Overture appears in the list of unsupported profiles. I couldn’t find a way to persuade Bambu Studio to use it.
Any ideas?
Since the P2S use a different extruder and hotend, the P1 profile will be wrong anyway.
I’ve contacted Polymaker a while back, and they replied the P2S is too recent for them to have dedicated profiles (yet). I guess this will be the case with other filament brands, too.
For the time being, P2S owners have 3 options: use Bambu filament, use the Generic filament settings, or create their own profile.
I’ve had my P2S since October and used a number of brands (Bambu, Polymaker, Smart, BASF, Real,…) in PLA, TPU, PETG and PETG-HF and they all printed fine on the default Bambu Studio settings.
Will someone @ me when there is a public profile or if anyone has any good one they’ve used? I’m really new to printing and wanna make sure I’m not screwing anything up.
I think the advice is to just use the generic filament profile if there isn’t a manufacturer specific one for your printer yet.
You could create a custom profile yourself using the data on the manufacturer website, but there’s lots to fill in and potential to get things wrong.
Guess we’ll just have to wait until the manufacturers catchup
If it helps, Overture is a sub-brand of Polymaker, and it’s possible (but not confirmed) that it’s the same formula.
thanks, unfortunately polymaker don’t have any P2S profiles yet either !
Seems like a good chance to learn how to calibrate a filament the old way!
In all seriousness, it will use less than 100 grams.
I use the PETG HF and change the nozzle temp to 260 and bed to 80 and have great prints consistently
P2S Profiles are now listed on the Overture wiki.
