How they differ on the data
Bambu Lab PLA Basic runs 5°C hotter on the nozzle (window midpoints 210°C and 205°C), and the two windows share 30°C of range, so one profile can cover both. Bambu Lab PLA Basic lists the wider window (40°C against 30°C). ELEGOO PLA runs 18°C hotter on the bed (window midpoints 40°C and 58°C), and the windows do not overlap, so each needs its own profile. ELEGOO PLA lists the wider window (15°C against 10°C).
