PLA	Bambu Lab	210-220°C	55-60°C	100-150 mm/s	0.8 mm	100%	0.20 mm	Bambu stock profile works great. Use textured PEI plate.
PLA	Creality	200-215°C	50-60°C	50-80 mm/s	5-6 mm (Bowden)	100%	0.20 mm	Bowden tube needs higher retraction. Use glue stick on glass bed.
PLA	Prusa	210-220°C	55-60°C	60-100 mm/s	0.8-2 mm	100%	0.20 mm	PrusaSlicer defaults are excellent. Direct drive = low retraction.

PETG	Bambu Lab	235-245°C	75-85°C	80-120 mm/s	1.0-1.5 mm	30-50%	0.20 mm	Reduce fan to prevent delamination. Textured PEI prevents over-adhesion.
PETG	Creality	230-245°C	70-80°C	40-60 mm/s	5-7 mm (Bowden)	30-50%	0.24 mm	Strings easily. Increase retraction and lower temp to reduce stringing.
PETG	Prusa	235-245°C	80-90°C	50-80 mm/s	1.0-2.0 mm	30-50%	0.20 mm	Use smooth PEI sheet with glue stick to prevent bonding damage.
PETG	Voron	240-250°C	80-90°C	100-200 mm/s	0.5-1.0 mm	20-40%	0.20 mm	Enclosed chamber helps with layer adhesion. Watch for heat creep.
ABS	Bambu Lab	240-250°C	100-110°C	80-120 mm/s	1.0 mm	0-10%	0.20 mm	X1C enclosed chamber is ideal. Keep door closed during print.
ABS	Creality	230-250°C	100-110°C	40-60 mm/s	5-6 mm (Bowden)	0%	0.20 mm	Enclosure required. Build one from IKEA Lack tables or cardboard.
ABS	Prusa	240-250°C	100-110°C	40-60 mm/s	1.0-2.0 mm	0%	0.20 mm	Prusa Enclosure recommended. Use ABS slurry on smooth PEI.
ABS	Voron	240-255°C	100-110°C	150-250 mm/s	0.4-0.8 mm	0%	0.20 mm	Voron is purpose-built for ABS. Maintain 50-60C chamber temp.
TPU	Bambu Lab	220-235°C	50-60°C	30-50 mm/s	0-0.5 mm	50-80%	0.20 mm	Use AMS bypass for soft TPU. Direct drive handles TPU well.
TPU	Creality	220-240°C	50-60°C	20-30 mm/s	0 mm	50-80%	0.20 mm	Bowden struggles with soft TPU. Upgrade to direct drive if possible.
TPU	Prusa	220-235°C	50-60°C	25-40 mm/s	0-1.0 mm	50-80%	0.20 mm	Direct drive is ideal. Print slow and steady for best results.
TPU	Voron	225-240°C	50-60°C	30-60 mm/s	0-0.5 mm	50-80%	0.20 mm	CW2 extruder handles TPU well. Disable pressure advance.
Nylon	Bambu Lab	250-270°C	80-90°C	50-80 mm/s	1.0-1.5 mm	0-20%	0.20 mm	Must dry before printing. Use X1C enclosed chamber. PEI + glue stick.
Nylon	Creality	250-270°C	80-90°C	30-50 mm/s	5-7 mm (Bowden)	0%	0.20 mm	Very moisture sensitive. All-metal hotend required. Enclosure essential.
Nylon	Prusa	255-275°C	80-90°C	40-60 mm/s	1.0-2.0 mm	0-10%	0.20 mm	Dry filament in oven first (70C, 6-8 hours). Use Garolite build plate.
Nylon	Voron	260-280°C	90-100°C	80-150 mm/s	0.5-1.0 mm	0%	0.20 mm	Enclosed Voron excels at Nylon. Keep chamber at 50C+. Use Garolite.
ASA	Bambu Lab	240-260°C	95-110°C	80-120 mm/s	1.0 mm	0-10%	0.20 mm	X1C is ideal. ASA is UV-resistant ABS alternative. Keep chamber closed.
ASA	Creality	240-260°C	100-110°C	40-60 mm/s	5-6 mm (Bowden)	0%	0.20 mm	Needs full enclosure like ABS. Less fumes than ABS but still ventilate.
ASA	Prusa	240-260°C	100-110°C	40-60 mm/s	1.0-2.0 mm	0%	0.20 mm	PrusaSlicer ASA profile is solid. Enclosure needed for best results.
ASA	Voron	245-265°C	100-110°C	150-250 mm/s	0.4-0.8 mm	0%	0.20 mm	Voron + ASA is a perfect combo for functional parts. Maintain 55C chamber.

Quick Reference Tips

Bowden vs Direct Drive

Bowden extruders (Creality Ender series) need 4-7mm retraction. Direct drive (Bambu Lab, Prusa, most modern printers) need only 0.5-2mm. Using the wrong value causes stringing or jams.

Filament Drying

Nylon, PETG, TPU, and ASA all absorb moisture. If you hear popping or see bubbles while printing, dry your filament at 55-70C for 4-8 hours before use. PLA is less sensitive but benefits from drying too.

Speed vs Quality

Higher speeds work best on rigid-frame printers (Bambu Lab, Voron). Bed-slinger printers (Ender 3, Prusa MK3) should stay under 80mm/s for quality. Always calibrate input shaper before pushing speed.
