Do you have a downloadable .json profile bundle?

No, and deliberately. A slicer profile has far more fields than a settings table can fill, and a half-specified profile you import produces worse prints than cloning a stock profile and changing six numbers. Every value we would put in a file is on this page instead.

What nozzle temperature should I use for Forgely PLA?

215°C with a 60°C bed on a 0.4mm nozzle. That is about 5°C cooler than the stock PLA Basic profile, because the resin blend flows cleanly there without under-extrusion. If you are printing outer walls above 150 mm/s, add 3°C back.

Why is max volumetric speed lower for PETG than the stock profile?

The stock high-flow PETG profile assumes a melt-flow index most third-party PETG does not have. 12 mm³/s is the realistic ceiling; the stock profile pushes 20+ and will under-extrude on anything that is not the blend it was tuned for.

Do these settings work on an A1 or A1 mini?

Yes, with one adjustment: drop max volumetric speed by 15% on the A1 and 25% on the A1 mini. Both are bed-slingers with no enclosure, so also reduce acceleration about 25% on tall PETG or TPU parts to avoid ringing near the top.

Why does my third-party spool show as Unknown filament?

Bambu spools carry an RFID tag the printer reads to auto-select a profile. Third-party spools have none, so the slicer defaults to Generic PLA. Assign your saved profile to the AMS slot manually — one dropdown per spool swap — and skip the printer prompt.

Clone the stock profile and set: PLA 215°C nozzle / 60°C bed / flow 0.98 / pressure advance 0.02 / 18 mm³/s / 0.8mm retraction. PETG 240°C / 70°C / 0.95 / 0.04 / 12 mm³/s / 0.6mm, part fan capped at 40%. TPU 95A 230°C / 45°C / 1.00 / 0.05 / 6 mm³/s / 0.4mm, outer walls 30 mm/s. All for a 0.4mm nozzle on an X1C or P1S; drop max volumetric 15% on the A1 and 25% on the A1 mini.

The_Settings

Profile Values by Material.

Setting	Forgely PLA	PETG (stocked)	TPU 95A (stocked)
Nozzle temp	215°C	240°C	230°C
Bed temp	60°C	70°C	45°C
Part fan	100%	40%	60%
Flow ratio	0.98	0.95	1.00
Pressure advance	0.02	0.04	0.05
Max volumetric	18 mm³/s	12 mm³/s	6 mm³/s
Retraction	0.8 mm	0.6 mm	0.4 mm
Outer wall speed	200 mm/s	120 mm/s	30 mm/s

Verdict: For a 0.4mm nozzle on an X1C or P1S. Drop max volumetric by 15% on the A1 and 25% on the A1 mini. PLA is our own line; the PETG and TPU columns are the spools we stock.

Six_Numbers

The Ones That Actually Matter.

Clone, never edit in place

Right-click the stock profile, Clone, rename, then edit the clone. Slicer updates re-sync stock profiles and overwrite edits made in place. Clones live in your user folder and survive updates.

Flow ratio is per colour

Run the slicer’s Flow Dynamics Calibration once per new spool colour. Pigment loads the resin differently: matte black often wants 0.97, translucent closer to 0.99, standard colours near 0.98.

Pressure advance is per printer

Start at 0.02 and print the K-factor tower. The A1 usually lands at 0.020–0.024; the X1C’s input shaper lets you push to 0.025–0.030 without visible ringing.

PETG fan is a ceiling, not a target

40% is the number people get wrong. PETG wants weak interlayer cooling — crank the fan and you get delamination that only shows up when the part flexes.

Per_Printer

What Changes Between Machines.

Same filament, different constraints. Everything else in the table above stays put.

A1 / A1 mini: Bed-slingers with no enclosure. Drop max volumetric 15% on the A1 and 25% on the A1 mini. On tall PETG or TPU parts, reduce acceleration about 25% to avoid ringing at the top, where the moving bed carries the most inertia. The AMS Lite has no RFID reader, so every spool is manual anyway.
P1P: No aux fan, no chamber temperature control. PETG cooling relies entirely on the part fan, so 40% is a hard ceiling — going higher fixes overhang sag and costs layer adhesion.
P1S: Adds an enclosure but no active chamber heat. Same PLA, PETG and TPU profiles as the P1P; the enclosure helps with drafts and warp, not with anything the slicer needs to know.
X1C: Has both the aux fan and the chamber fan. For TPU, set the chamber fan to 30% — enough to purge ambient moisture on a long print without cooling the chamber enough to warp a large PLA part on the same plate.
0.6mm hardened nozzle: Add about 10 mm³/s to max volumetric and re-run the flow calibration. The larger bore changes the melt geometry more than you would expect.

Calibrate

Three Prints, About 90 Minutes.

The table gets you a working profile. Three calibration prints get you the right one for your specific spool and machine — a one-time cost that pays back on every print for as long as you run that brand.

Print the temperature tower at the speed and layer height you actually use. A tower run at 30 mm/s tells you nothing about behaviour at 200 mm/s. Then fold each result back into the cloned profile and save.

Temperature tower: sweep in 5°C bands, pick the highest with no stringing, then drop 5°C
Flow dynamics: one-click on P1/X1; on the A1, measure a flow cube’s top layer with calipers
Pressure advance: print the K-factor tower, find where corners are sharp but inner walls do not bulge

Sharing

Moving a Profile Between Machines.

Profiles export as .json from the slicer, which is what makes them easy to move between machines or hand to someone else. File → Import → Import Configs, select the files, and they appear under My Filaments.

Bump a version string in the .json header when you revise one. Re-importing then overwrites the old version cleanly without touching your other custom profiles.

We do not publish a bundle to download. A profile file has many more fields than the table above, and a partly-filled one produces worse prints than cloning a stock profile and changing six numbers — which is the whole point of this page.
