FlashForge PLA for the H2DP

with a 0.4 mm nozzle

The five values to type into Bambu Studio for a FlashForge PLA spool — the big one first.

Bambu profiles its own filament, not FlashForge's. These start from Bambu's PLA Basic reference and apply FlashForge's published specs where available.

Is this right for your spool?

Here's how sure we are — and what to watch.

H2DP values are provisional
These envelope/flow values still need verifying against Bambu's shipped profile (SPEC.md §10).

Why these numbers

FlashForge PLA starts from Bambu's PLA Basic reference; FlashForge's published specs are overlaid where available, and everything else stays at Bambu's calibrated default.

Tensile 45–49 MPa; flexural 69–75 MPa; water absorption <0.3%; all nozzle sizes

Treat these as a starting point — run a flow-test cube and Bambu's Flow Dynamics calibration after import for the last few percent.
