Bambu R1 Material Library

I couldn’t find a material library for the Bambu Lab R1, so I built one for LightBurn from the presets in Bambu Suite and I’m sharing it as a starting point.

Bambu’s LightBurn setup file only has the machine profile, so the settings come from Bambu Suite’s own R1 55W presets. I converted them into a .clb library: 35 materials and 139 entries (basswood, birch, walnut, MDF, clear and colored acrylic, cork, paper, leather, felt, slate). Each material has Cut, Line Engrave, Fill Engrave, and Image Engrave entries, plus a separate Fill Outline entry where Bambu uses one.

A few things to know:

  • My R1 arrives this week, so this is untested on a real machine. I’ve confirmed it imports and assigns the right values in LightBurn. Please run a Material Test before trusting any entry.
  • LightBurn sends air assist at full strength, while Suite varies it by process. Each entry’s description notes the Suite value.
  • Suite also sets acceleration per process, and LightBurn can’t do that per layer.
  • Some Suite wood presets send an M452.1 command with tuning values before the job. LightBurn’s R1 profile doesn’t send it, and I don’t know what it does. If anyone does, I’d like to hear.

The library is attached. I’ll post an update with real test results and a corrected version once I’ve run it on the machine. Feedback is welcome.

Settings come from Bambu Lab’s Bambu Suite presets.

I’m new do doing laser cutting and have a Blaze X M3 Pro. Having heart conditions right now so things aren’t going thought wise too well for me. I’m trying to understand how to get Material added to the library, but not working so easy. Does anyone know of a file out there for the library that I could use? Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
