Any Idea, why slicing removes color?

I have an P1S with AMS and different PLA Filaments loaded.
I use the color function in Bambu Studio to paint the models but after slicing the different color is gone and i have no idea, what happened.
Any Idea how to avoid this?


You might’ve forgot to turn on multi color printing or the wipe tower.

If this is still a problem, please supply a screenshot that includes the objects view (so we can see different objects have different colours or have been painted).

Also make sure we can see the top of the slicing information panel. It is possible you are not seeing the filament view and instead seeing one of the many other views designed to help you preview the model. You can change this by selecting the drop down at the top of the window with the filament use breakdown, set it to filament.

Hey guys -

I struggled with this on my P1S and a random model until I read a random comment on reddit about similar issue.

To make the Slice recognise the colours you must uncheck the Flush into this object

Not sure why this happens, I guess trying to saving on fillament waste is a balaning act.

happy printings.

this just happened to me. Everything worked fine, went to slice and it wouldn’t use ams colors. PlasticLabsCreative was spot on. unclicked flush into object and now slices with ams again. apparently my bambu A1 doesn’t like to poop in it’s own house. will have to bring in a different model to flush into.

The idea of flush into object is to send the waste that otherwise of been wasted into a different model not the main one.

bud i cant thank you enough this was driving me crazy i thought something was wrong that last update switch my views and it looked like nothing was staying colored…

You are welcome.

It is one of those “can’t see the wood for the trees” issues.

There are so many things, so many ways, so many to remember, so easy to forget, and I still do.

So i have followed all steps listed above and am still running into this issue. Any next steps?

I had the same problem. Found the answer on a reddit site.

After slicing, when the results box pops up, change the drop down from line type to Filament…

I had the same problem, i solved it paiting the part, hope it helps

Hi, I’m having this problem on X1C with the new release 2.5.0.66 where I can change the colours for different parts of the object; however when slicing only chooses one. It’s like it’s not looking at that section. If I change the main colour to a different colour, no adjustments are made.

Everything above I’ve done - possible release bug?

Any other ideas?

At the very least, please provide screenshots with the line type and filament views being presented from the preview tab.

I noticed that colors show up once sliced when you change the order of the items in the object list. When letters that are a different color from the tool are listed first in the tree, they do not appear after slicing. If I move the tool body up to the top with letters after, it shows up properly.

Just replying, 2 years later, to say this fixed it for me and my X1C as well. Thank you
