Additional Filament not listed ?

When loading additional filaments, there is no PBT filament option; therefore how can I add it ?

Caveat: I haven't printed PBT.  Thanks for bringing it to my attention; it has some interesting properties.

I couldn't find a pure PBT filament but there are a lot of blends available - as such the characteristics differ according to the other constituents of the blend.   Because of this there doesn't seem to be a single, generic, loading temperature that could be attached to a PBT label so, for now at least, the 'custom' option will have to be used.

Cheerio,

In slicer, choose a close preset, edit-in any values that differ - save with a suitable name; you probably want to detach it from the parent preset so that any updates to the root don't propagate into your new settings.

Because the internal identifier won't match you will have to use the Custom load setting on your printer to actually load the filament.

Cheerio,
