Hi, looking at the Bambu P1P, has this printer got automatic bed levelling feature in the software?
I think all Bambu 3D printers have automatic bed levelling.
I don’t have P1P, but I have P1S and A1 and have automatic bed levelling.
Yes.
Succeed with a Perfect First Layer
The automatic bed leveling (ABL) sensor calibrates and levels the bed properly, making you a perfect first layer for every 3D print.
It took a minute to find a good source. Like a power cord, ABL is pretty much considered a standard feature in a modern printer.
Do they all take as long as Bambu’s? ISTM, if the build plate is flat (like held down by magnetic bed) then you wouldn’t need to take as many samples as are taken by the Bambu firmware to get an accurate map.
More points provide a better map.
If you are concerned about the time required, turn off the ABL. It’s not needed for every print. I only allow it occasionally, even less than these AI suggestions, since I don’t find that it is always needed after power cycling:
When to Run Automatic Bed Leveling:
- First print after power cycle:
It’s generally recommended to run ABL after turning the printer on, especially if you’ve changed build plates or disrupted the bed.
- After significant changes:
If you’ve changed the build plate, filament, or if the printer has been moved, it’s a good idea to run ABL.
- If you suspect issues:
If you’re consistently experiencing adhesion problems or uneven first layers, running ABL can help diagnose and resolve these issues.

That’s great. Thank you all for the info 
This is the one that gets me. I flip the build plate after every print and clean it after both sides have been used.
I’ll try turning off ABL next time I have a non-critical print. Thanks.
