Elegoo PLA Silk for the X1

with a 0.4 mm nozzle

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

Why these numbers

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

Hardened steel nozzle, ≥0.4 mm; melt index 28.7 (3× std PLA); tensile X-Y 26 MPa, Z just 5 MPa (anisotropic)

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