HIPS settings for the Bambu Lab X1 Carbon
Great match
These are tuned starting settings for printing HIPS on the Bambu Lab X1 Carbon. The Bambu Lab X1 Carbon has a direct-drive extruder and an all-metal hotend in an enclosed chamber, so we set the hotend to 235°C and the bed to 100°C. HIPS is a break-away or limonene-dissolvable support best paired with ABS in an enclosure.

FAQ
- What temperature should I print HIPS on the Bambu Lab X1 Carbon?
- Start at 235°C for the hotend and 100°C for the bed, then run a temperature tower across 225–245°C to dial in your exact filament brand.
- What print speed works for HIPS on this printer?
- Around 63 mm/s is a safe starting point on the Bambu Lab X1 Carbon. This printer can go faster once the profile is tuned, but start conservative for clean walls.
- What retraction should I use?
- Use about 1 mm of retraction (direct drive needs very little). If you see stringing with HIPS, raise retraction speed before distance and dry the filament.
- Do I need an enclosure for HIPS on the Bambu Lab X1 Carbon?
- The Bambu Lab X1 Carbon is enclosed, which is exactly what HIPS needs for warp-free prints.
