What filaments can the Bambu P1S, P1P, and X1C print?

Match the spool to the machine you have, then to the temperatures on that spool. The three printers do not have the same shell or the same nozzle.

PLA, PETG, and TPU

PLA Basic is the uneventful fit. Its sheet lists 190–230 °C (374–446 °F) at the nozzle and 35–45 °C (95–113 °F) on the bed, under every hotend and bed maximum stored for these three machines.

PolyLite PETG stores 220–250 °C (428–482 °F) and a bed of 70–90 °C (158–194 °F). That bed fits the P1S and P1P maximum of 100 °C (212 °F).

TPU is in the consensus. Bambu TPU 90A stores a nozzle of 200–250 °C (392–482 °F) and a bed of 30–35 °C (86–95 °F). Ordinary TPU is a bad AMS load. Read which filaments work in the AMS and flexible filament before you feed it from the hub.

ABS and ASA

The consensus treats ABS and ASA as enclosed prints. The P1S record describes a fully enclosed body. The P1P record says open frame. The X1 Carbon record leaves enclosure empty, so this page does not call that PDF an enclosure claim.

Bambu ASA stores a bed of 90–110 °C (194–230 °F). Only the part of that range at or below 100 °C (212 °F) fits the P1S and P1P. The X1 Carbon stored maximum is 110 °C (230 °F). Bambu ABS stores the same 90–110 °C (194–230 °F) bed pattern and a nozzle of 230–260 °C (446–500 °F). Heat behavior of these materials is on heat resistance.

Fiber grades

PA6-CF stores hardened nozzle as true, a nozzle of 250–290 °C (482–554 °F), and a bed of 80–100 °C (176–212 °F). The X1 Carbon record lists a hardened steel nozzle. The P1S and P1P records list stainless steel. Bambu’s P1S note says fiber-reinforced filament is not recommended until the extruder and hotend are upgraded. A forum line about newer P1S revisions does not overwrite that record. The carbon-fiber guide is the wear warning for brass and stainless.
