I accidentally got the PETG filament instead of the PLA which I normally work with. I have an Elegoo Neptune 3 Pro.

Here's what was weird:

  • The test strip went across the bottom of the board instead of the side. It went back to the side when I put the PLA back in.

  • The temperture melting point changed automatically from 200 F to 220 and then back again when I switched back to PLA.

Does the printer know what kind of filament I'm using and if so, how?

ETA: The filaments have all been the Elegoo brand filaments.

I absolutely have no use Bambu's RFID tags. I need to change the settings anyway, so why bother with them at all. Thankfully I doubt there were will be any agreement to any kind of standard to allow such a thing anyway.

Well if you could change the settings once and have it stick this would be a good thing imo. Agree unlikely to standardize but Im not for gate-keeping for 3d printing and think this would help beginners and experts alike
