Bambu Picker + AMS / Filament Settings Lookup

PLA (Bambu PLA Basic)

Nozzle temperature

190 to 230 °C, typical 220 °C

Bed temperature

35 to 45 °C

Drying

55 °C for 8 h

Hygroscopic

low

AMS safe

Yes

Hardened nozzle required

No

Bed: Textured PEI 55C is fine; cool bed reduces elephant-foot

Enclosure: open frame fine; keep enclosure door open to avoid heat creep

AMS: Ideal AMS material — feeds reliably, no special handling.

PETG (Bambu PETG HF / Basic)

Nozzle temperature

230 to 260 °C, typical 250 °C

Bed temperature

60 to 80 °C

Drying

65 °C for 8 h

Hygroscopic

moderate

AMS safe

Yes

Hardened nozzle required

No

Bed: Use glue stick as release agent on smooth PEI or it bonds too hard

Enclosure: open or enclosed both OK; PETG tolerates drafts well

AMS: AMS-safe but dry it first — wet PETG strings badly and the AMS PTFE path makes it worse.

Wet PETG = stringing and weak layers. Dry before a long multicolor AMS job.

ABS (Bambu ABS)

Nozzle temperature

240 to 280 °C, typical 270 °C

Bed temperature

90 to 100 °C

Drying

80 °C for 8 h

Hygroscopic

moderate

AMS safe

Yes

Hardened nozzle required

No

Bed: 90-100C bed; brim strongly recommended to fight warping

Enclosure: ENCLOSURE REQUIRED. Open-frame A1/A1 mini/P1P (no kit) will warp and split.

AMS: AMS-safe on enclosed machines. Print warping risk is the limiter, not the AMS.

Needs an enclosed printer (X1C/P1S/X1E/H2D, or P1P with enclosure). ABS fumes (styrene) — ventilate.

ASA (Bambu ASA)

Nozzle temperature

240 to 280 °C, typical 260 °C

Bed temperature

90 to 100 °C

Drying

80 °C for 8 h

Hygroscopic

moderate

AMS safe

Yes

Hardened nozzle required

No

Bed: 90-100C bed; enclosure heat retention matters more than bed alone

Enclosure: ENCLOSURE REQUIRED. UV-stable replacement for ABS; same warping behaviour.

AMS: AMS-safe on enclosed machines; keep dry for best layer adhesion.

Enclosed printer required. Better outdoor/UV stability than ABS. Ventilate fumes.

TPU 95A (Bambu TPU for AMS)

Nozzle temperature

220 to 250 °C, typical 235 °C

Bed temperature

30 to 45 °C

Drying

70 °C for 8 h

Hygroscopic

high

AMS safe

No

Hardened nozzle required

No

Bed: Low bed temp; slow first layer for adhesion

Enclosure: open frame fine

AMS: Standard soft TPU is NOT reliable in the regular AMS (the PTFE buffer path jams flexibles). Only Bambu 'TPU for AMS' (higher shore) or external spool feed is safe. Print slow (under ~30 mm/s).

Do NOT load generic soft TPU into the standard AMS — feed from an external spool. Use the AMS-rated TPU only. Very hygroscopic.

PA-CF / PAHT-CF (carbon-fiber nylon)

Nozzle temperature

260 to 300 °C, typical 280 °C

Bed temperature

90 to 110 °C

Drying

80 °C for 12 h

Hygroscopic

very high

AMS safe

No

Hardened nozzle required

Yes

Bed: High bed + enclosure; engineering plate or glue for adhesion

Enclosure: Enclosure strongly recommended; X1C/X1E/H2D class. Open frame will warp.

AMS: Extremely hygroscopic — must run from a dried/sealed source. The standard AMS does not actively dry; use AMS HT or an external dry box. CF is abrasive: hardened nozzle mandatory.

HARDENED nozzle required (CF shreds brass/steel). Dry 80C/12h and keep sealed — absorbs moisture in hours. Standard AMS does not dry it; needs AMS HT or external dry box.

PC (polycarbonate)

Nozzle temperature

260 to 300 °C, typical 280 °C

Bed temperature

90 to 110 °C

Drying

80 °C for 10 h

Hygroscopic

high

AMS safe

Yes

Hardened nozzle required

No

Bed: High bed + glue; warps aggressively without a hot chamber

Enclosure: Active or well-retained enclosure required (X1C borderline; X1E/H2D ideal).

AMS: AMS-safe mechanically but very hygroscopic — dry first and run promptly. High temps need a 300C-capable hotend.

Needs ~300C hotend and a heat-retaining/active chamber. Strong warping. Dry before printing — wet PC degrades and bubbles.
