Hi all, I have a new A1 since this weekend. I have the vibration calibration and bed leveling checkboxes unchecked, both on the printer touchscreen and in Bambu Studio. Yet the printer still seems to be doing a vibration calibration and bed leveling before every print, which delays the start of the print and is annoying especially for small prints, Anybody knows why that is happening or how to disable it?

Looks like the preparation time is always around 6 minutes, even with all calibration deselected. It’s super annoying for small prints that would take 5 minutes, it more than doubles the time… I just want the damn thing to heat up, wipe and start printing!

I have the same problem and hope for a solution
I wrote Bambu support and they say it’s unavoidable… I think it could be greatly optimized. First the nozzle heats to about 230C and flushes out some filament. Then it waits to cool down to about 140 and does vibration tests and some bed leveling. Then it heats up again to 220 for PLA, wipes a few times, dumps some more filament and THEN it starts printing. For at least a minute it appears to be just setting still doing nothing i.e. no change in temperature.

i personally havent paid attention to the prep time, im just happy the overall print time is incredible in most cases…
i would think of it as a good thing though all that prep work is probably making sure your print turns out great … just like with painting, prep work is key to good results… the bed leveling is probably due to the fact people like myself, take it off after every print to flex it to remove prints, in that case the bed leveling might fix some minor issues possibly encounterd by putting the plate on the magnetic bed slightly different orientation
