PCTG on the Bambu Lab A1 Mini
Yes, with a couple of cautions. The A1 shrunk to a desk-friendly size. Same brains, smaller bed.
Works with care
PCTG works on the Bambu Lab A1 Mini, mind a couple of things
Use the lower end of the bed rangePrinter
Some PCTG spools ask for up to 95 °C on the bed; the Bambu Lab A1 Mini reaches 80 °C. Set the bed near 80 °C and add a glue stick if corners lift.
Keep the spool dryMaterial
PCTG soaks up moisture from the air, and damp filament prints rough and stringy. If that happens, dry the spool at 60-70 °C for 4-8 h and store it sealed with desiccant.

Safe starting ranges for PCTG as a family, not gospel. Each spool below has its exact manufacturer numbers, the dated source, and one-click slicer settings on its page.
