Hi all,
i frequently import .obj files from my cad software (exocad) to print dental study models etc.
Problem: i dont need color information. exocad always automatically exports color information - so there is no way to turn that off.
But can bambu studio somehow be configured to automatically ignore color settings completely? i’m never going to print multiple colors.
Thank you very much!
Not sure it works in your case, but I have solved similar problems simply by deleting all filaments but one. You might need to do so after importing the model.
Hi,
When importing the OBJ into Studio, if you’re getting the color mapping dialog popping up, hit Cancel on that. It should then skip assigning any colors.
If you’re getting the colors assigned w/out any prompting, sometimes using “undo” (CTRL+Z) will revert the color assignments This also works if the color mapping dialog was accepted (not cancelled).
OBJ format stores the material/color information in separate .mtl files alongside the actual .obj file. So one way to “brute force” avoid color assignments would be to remove the corresponding .mtl file before import into Studio.
Another option might be to use STL format for export/import, which can’t convey any color/material information in the first place. All else being equal (eg. tessellation parameters), there should be no quality difference in the sliced result (the slicer only works on triangle meshes anyway, converting other shapes and NURBS on import, so in some ways it’s more WYSIWYG to give it a triangle mesh in the first place if your CAD has decent support for that).
There may be some other tricks… but that’s all I got for now! 
HTH,
