I just ordered PETG-HF (refill), but where can I get the appropriate print profiles from?

I opened BS yesterday & got a notification to download the profile.
So far I havenāt received a message or an update

What version of Bambu Studio are you using?
Do you have this notice in the bottom right corner of Bambu Studio?

Ah, yes! I completely overlooked this message. 
Thx!

followup question - any have any tried and true settings for SPEED? which arenāt part of the filament profiles?
I have some tuned Elegoo Rapid PETG presets but it took a LOT of trial and error to dial those in, iām surprised that Bambu Lab has left us with the promise that it CAN print faster * asterisk with an appropriate increase in nozzle temp, but doesnāt tell us or give us a preset to use this new filament.
Anyone tested actual high-speeds beyond the āSystem Prestsā for Process?
Thatās a terrible way to add compatibility for a new product line

The vast majority of users seem to have no issue figuring it out. Updating a configuration file on a locally running program seems like the easiest/best way to add a filament type. How would you prefer it to be done?
Donāt think Iāve ever seen a filament that had a pre-configured Process preset, so I donāt know why you are singling out PETG HF for your complaint.
Calibrating any filament with your own printer and your own model nearly always produces a better result than any system preset. System presets are intended only to provide acceptable prints, at mid-range settings. If you want maximum speeds you need to tune the settings yourself, just as tuning would be needed to maximize any other parameter (strength, surface finish, etc.)
Bambuās PETG-HF filament preset should work just fine for most users and provide some speed boost just because it already has a greater maximum volumetric speed.
Note that the Bambu PETG HF filament preset uses a lower nozzle temperature than Generic or the old Basic PETG, so there is plenty of room for temp increase and, presumably, speed increase.

A couple of filament brands like eSun offer filament and process config files, hereās eSunās for their high speed filaments: 3D Printing Settings - eSUN 3D Printing Materials
The end game being that a user can select these profiles and achieve print speeds both due to the volumetric setting and the individual speed settings per-tuned for performance and quality; VS using the system/ generic filament and process profiles - then switching to sport or ludicrous mode and having a massive failed print (YMMV).
That said, this is a hope, not a complaint; and if anything we just need to spread the word that the difference in speed - can be observed - without tuning, simply by slicing using the PETG Basic preset, and then again using the PETG HF preset to see the difference in print time.
Cum bayaaaaaaaa

What bugged me was the AMS detected the color of PETG, then totally bailed and filament type was blank. It wasnāt until I stumbled into the notice to get new profiles in BS that detection worked. Bambu Handy was lost. So I would suggest a pamphlet in the boxes saying to check BS if AMS fails to detect. This filament āfeelsā a lot different coming off the roll than any PETG I have used. Just trying a test print now, and my first layer adhesion is not good.
Curious.
I have rejected bambu petg basic, it just did not do layer adhesion.
Got Black and White Petg-HF. Dried it.
Did test prints with default HF profile.
Had absolutely zero issue.
Though, I have no idea what additives or how this one is made.
Iām pretty pleased with the PETG HFā¦ Iāve been doing back to back tests between elegoo rapid PETG and bbl HF, and once Iām done with all of my elegoo spools Iām switching to bbl hf.
In the prints in need to use it for:
- more of a matte finish (I hate gloss!)
- Much more consistent finish throughout print (my elegoo and bbl PETG basic both go gloss matte gloss matte in different parts of the prints, hf looks the same all over)
- Less zits (both were dried for the appropriate time)
- Less globs
- Less ringing
- Better extruded first layers and brims
- Functional parts with threads are buttery smooth without cracking as I tighten and loosen them
- Functional parts with nubs for friction fit - same as above
- calibration and prime strips are easier to remove on textured build plates
- Self releasing when cooling down seems to happen faster (YMMV)
One of my test prints is vase mode skimmer (foundon makerworld).
PETG Basic was never able to hold water, plus I had similar issues as you.
Another thing I will be testing will be infil patterns.
PETG basic white was essentially useless as there was always some failure.
PETG Basic Black was getting messy even with Gyriod.
If anyone tests this first, share:)
So far, I based on my two samples it is quite a win.

This got me as well. Even though I was checking to make sure I was on the latest version of Studio, I over looked this step and was trying to figure out what was going on. Strange this seems to be tied to the Bambu Handy app as well. Before this config update, the app would allow you to select PETG HF, but then it would revert back to ā?ā after a few seconds
Related: as another user in the thread about āwhy donāt people use bambu handy?ā had mentioned to me - that I had no idea about, if you happen to use alternate build plates like Garolite G10 or dipped plates that need a different bed temp; you can set up your filament profiles in Studio, and they get syncād to handy under the āuse my filament presetsā where I had additional āPETG-HF Lightyear G10ā profiles that had the higher bed temps, which means you can print right from Handy - blew my mind, I thought Iād have to print from my pc for every G10 plate print, nope!
So alot of people are jumping on the band wagon when everything is automatic. No tests on tower, retraction etc. So unfortunately this is going to be a common issue from here forward. Many people now with auto level etc. Wont know common issues. This is why our customer service sucks so much because if something doesnt work right they think its a hardware issues. If your the same as me you started at the bottom and now we are here. Sorry for the corny line but now adays it just supposed to work without due diligence. SMH
Agreed - the eSUN downloadable high-speed filament & process config files are excellent. For me, they have ājust workedā on my X1C & two P1Sās without any tweaking & tuning whatsoever. I struggled to get good results with Bambu Basic PETG for 2 months. I started with Bambuās default filament profile & then went through a methodical process, beginning with constantly drying filaments, then tweaking & tuning everything imaginable - one step at a time. I never got what I considered to be acceptable results. I changed to eSUN PETG a year ago & downloaded their config files for Bambu printers & have had consistently excellent results since. I print functional parts in 95% PETG & have never had to dry a roll of filament (although I always use desiccant in the AMS). Great finish, virtually no stringing & higher volumetric flow rate.
Iām currently testing both Bambu PETG-HF & eSUN PETG+HS. Flow rate for the Bambu is 5% higher than eSUN & their nozzle & bed temps are quite different using their own profiles but, once again, Iām not getting the same quality finish with Bambu. I want the Bambu to be better, as I like the RFID tags - but so far, itās a no.
