I searched for information about the Bambu Lab PLA Silk+. I saw this video and was blown away. It's exactly what I'm searching for. The video have the correct length. Thank you!

Wow, I was actually just looking for optimal Silk settings and learned something new (how to set layers).
Thanks a lot & I'm subscribing ;-)

Great video! I watched the whole thing, then found myself trying to scan back to find the optimal settings you found. It would be awesome if you put some sort of chart at the end to remind us which settings you found most beneficial. :) Keep em' coming!

I am still learning as this is really helpful. Including your other videos. I just got my X1C and still figuring out Bambu Studio’s. I thank you for these neat little tricks.

Great video, thanks.
Just about to attempt a 50hour print in Titan Grey and this has really helped with the settings!

a hint about your Process. A quicker way to make the changes to the two parts. Make the changes to one part then duplicate the part and then change the material.
Another hint is to print in vase mode, but to get more than one parameters. make the "wall thickness two lines thick. And split the part with a very small line. .0001 this might make the print faster. Making the test a C shape. Rather than a rectangle. But the two ends are close enough together to connect as a rectangle.
Your conclusions and recommendations are very useful. These Process hints are more for other tests and projects.

I have found one of the big differences with the silk in tuning the settings is.... the more shiney/etc the weaker it gets. I've been using the non-silk/regular PLA settings when I need it a tiny bit stronger but having to use the more silk setting when I need a better finish (or even a non-blemished surface).
