Impact strength Z

A figure Bambu measures for each filament: how well it takes a knock between layers. It's informational; it doesn't change how it prints.

How it works

Printed parts are weaker between layers (along Z, the height axis) than along them. This number comes from Bambu's profile and helps compare filaments. In the tab it's grayed out: you can't edit it.

When to change it

  • You never need to touch it. Use it to compare materials: higher handles knocks between layers better.

Watch out for

  • To make a part stronger between layers, turn it on the plate or add walls and temperature; this number doesn't change that.

Using another slicer? Look for the idea, not the name: in Orca Slicer almost everything has the same name; in PrusaSlicer or Cura it may be called something else, or not exist.
