Support for PLA (Bambu Lab)
Bambu's dedicated breakaway support for PLA. Same PLA also works as support but requires cleanup with an xacto knife — may leave marks on contact surfaces.
Filament Drying Guide
50°C for 4-6h
● Low priority — PLA absorbs moisture slowly
Expert Tips
- • PLA prints best with 100% part cooling fan after the first layer.
- • Stock Bambu profiles are well-tuned — minimal tweaking needed.
- • For dimensional accuracy, calibrate flow rate with a single-wall cube.
