As a random test trying to get polypropylene to print on my X1C, I used the Bambu Engineering Plate that had been cleaned with acetone and the default Bambu settings for polycarbonate. It worked like a dream over and over for every print. After around 10 or so prints I would have to re-clean the bed. I was about to give up on printing PP but I figured "why not..." and gave it a shot.
I love that filament. Very durable (great for drones... thx RCLIFEON. Yes a bit tricky but a clean bed at the right temp & right z height with an enclosure at the right temp is the trick. Sound like you nailed it!
So I used to print polypropylene on the X1C its was a huge pain it constantly clogged for me but not actually at the nozzle, if you unload your filament you'll notice the extruder gears chew up the polypropylene hard and will gum up the gears. I believe the issue with the enclosure is that the filament softens in the extruder head before it gets in the nozzle I'm not really sure how to combat this. I printed it pretty huge polypropylene vertical water tower but it was a nightmare.
I did a benchy in clear Bambu PC using the default settings that Bambu Studio recommended. It printed pretty hot - 270 and 110 IIRC but it came out almost flawless (very minor layer sep on the bridge over the front window). I have had pretty consistent good luck with Bambu branded filament and I love the RFID spools with the AMS. It’s like RonCo - “set it and forget it.”
Возможно мне пришла глупая мысль в голову, но что если после печати первого слоя остановить печать и приклеить юбку на обычный скотч к столу, затем продолжить печать? Может быть даже лучше использовать желтый термоскотч:) Сможет ли он решить эту проблему с PP?))
I just printed some test prints with PP and im getting poor adhesion on inside walls. Im printing a circular part and just test printed threads with little bit of the main body and the inner walls just peal apart like sheets of paper. Outer 5 walls seem to have good adhesion. Im going to decrease the line width of the inner walls to see if that helps. Might do the outer wall a smidge aswell. But I'm curious if you came across any of that.
Have you solved it? I had the same experience with flex pla with circular thin walled objects. The slicer used parallel circle walls resulting in poor wall adhesion. What fixed it was stitching the walls together in the slicer either by thickening the walls in cad or changing a setting I don't remember.

what brand fillement did you use?

Thanks for the dope on PP. I like your straightforward style. Subbed!
What was the chamber temperature inside the printer? Is there a suggested temperature for polypro in order to prevent or reduce warping?

Good info. I recently tried to print a benchy on my P1S with PC, using the generic PC settings, I got very bad layering adhesion. Any suggestions?

Which is strong, PP or TPU?
TPU is typically stronger for strength. PP is a bit stiffer

i would enjoy a better microphone. the background noise is pretty loud for me
Yes, I can hear the background noise hiss, too. A noise canceling microphone would most likely solve that situation.
