We just got a new Bambu P1S printer one of the filaments says support for PLA color white on the package. what is this for? is it regular filament?
No, it is not filament to print with. It is used for support only.

Hi,
The support for PLA filament is specifically designed to be used as support material for PLA.
As support filament, it can only be used to print the support parts and not for regular printing.
To succeed follow BL print recommendation:

If you use it for support, only use it for the support interface, it is a setting in the support section. So the majority of the support will be printed with the same plastic as the model, the support material will only be used for a couple of layers in between the support and where it is supposed to touch the model.

Does someone have working settings for Support for PLA filament?
I have experienced massive spaghetti and adhesion issues with the recommended settings for the filament on the X2D.
I’m only using the Support for PLA filament for the support interfaces but they wont adhere neither to themselves nor to the pla at all and instantly cause spaghetti failures.
I can’t speak to the Support for PLA filament exactly but I have Support for ABS and it has some preconfigured settings built in via the RFID which will identify it as such.
At least for the support for ABS there is a wiki article which will give you some baseline settings. There is also one for PLA/PETG.
I do not know if it is the same product but I just bought a spool of BL Support for PLA/PETG so worth noting that you can use that product with PETG. I would also note that for me, the Support for ABS was a game-changer
Again, not sure about support for PLA
I would look in the wiki. The nozzle selection in the first red square you have to create. The second red squared is accomplished by the RFID
Here is maybe a helpful link. Support for PLA/PETG
Thanks, I’ll give the wiki a look and do some research + trial and error.
What I just saw is using a raft seems to be a problem, as at least for me the slicer adds a support filament raft onto the normal support raft, which is likely what caused the issues I had or at least part of them.
Yeah no raft was not the problem.
I can generate guaranteed spaghetti and total mess in the printer using this filament; but apparently I can neither add links here nor upload images of the settings…
And settings are virtually the same as described in the wiki.
So I’m absolutely lost on what is going on other the filament being trash
