New here? Nozzle = printing temperature in your slicer, bed = build plate. Start at the big number.

Nozzle is the hot-end temperature: enter it as the printing temperature in your slicer. Start at the big number; the range is the safe window to tune within.
Bed is the heated build plate: your slicer calls it bed temperature. It helps prints stick.
OFD is the Open Filament Database, the community-maintained database this catalog is built on.

Temperatures from SUNLU (store.sunlu.com), baked into the file with a source note.

Bambu Studio and OrcaSlicer store a separate bed temperature for each build plate. This profile sets the Textured PEI and High Temp plates; on a Cool Plate, Cool Plate SuperTack or Engineering Plate your slicer keeps its own built-in value.

Editorial notesUpdated 2026-07-10

Silk PLA trades strength for shine: layer bonding is weaker than regular PLA, so keep it for display pieces, and print slightly hotter and slower for the best gloss.
