Bambu Slicer won't show filament change

Bambu Lab P1 Series Troubleshooting
1

Hi all

I have loaded a design from FUSION 360 into Bambu Slicer. I colour each part as required. I have the design as a .STEP file so that it shows the different parts to colour. In the prepare area it shows each part coloured as it should be, but when I slice it, it changes it to a solid colour. There is no filament change showing either.

The word UNO is on the first layer (base layer) in the file and is laying on the bed. The thickness of the word is 1mm into the lid.

What am I missing? Why is changing to a solid colour when slicing? Please help.

TIA
Amanda

Have you selected all of your parts and “assembled” them (select parts, right click, assemble)

Thanks for the idea. However, when I right click, I don’t have an option to Assemble. I have split them and then re-assembled them, but the same thing happens. The bottom layer is the main colour of the print - not the colour I need.

Looks like the letters are not cut out in the Top.
In this case the slicer does not know which color to use and uses the main color of the assembly.

Seems for me like a generel porblem after the last updates for the H2D. Before Version 2.x it shows the filament change number, but in the 2.x versions of BambuStudio not.

Any updates on this?

On preparation all Options are there, but after slicing, only the botton Filament is used for all af the Mode, if the Model is made of multiple Parts.

Splitting one Model in two using the Studio works fine?

If you change the dropdown on the summary from line type to material, what does it show?

I think I found a solution, it moved from the summary in the right top corner which in your screenshot is set to ‘‘Line type’’. if you change this to ‘Filament’ you can see the number of filament changes in your model.
