Matte Black on Bambu P1P

I have had successful results with the California Filament Matte Black Filament on the Bambu P1P by changing a few settings. Im sure these settings will work for the X1 as well.

Use the Bambu PETg settings profile and change the following:

  • Change the Printing Tempature to 220c (If it is too high, it smokes)

  • Bed Temperature to 80c

  • Outside Wall Speed to 50 (I find the slower it goes, the better the matte texture is)

  • Top Surface Speed to 100

  • Use a brim to prevent warping and lifting off the bed.

It is important to calibrate the Flow Rate & Flow Dynamics with Bambu Studios built-in calibration tools, it makes a huge difference in the aesthetic

I live in a pretty dry climate, so your experience may vary but this stuff needs to be dry (as any PETg.) For me, I just put it in a box with desiccant overnight, you might need to use a proper dryer.

A perfect first layer is critical for the success of the rest of the print. Wash the plate with Dawn and IPA. I use liquid glue and either a Textured PEI Plate or a Bambu Engineering plate.
