I often wonder if calibrating one’s filament all the time is a problem. I noticed that some users are always going on about their filament calibrations. Recently, on another thread, someone posted a picture of a print which displayed the ripples that commonly occur when the auxiliary fan is running at full speed. Yet that poster and other went on and on about calibrating their filaments. It is a rather common thing I see in the forum, someone thinking their printing problem is a filament calibration problem. But then there are the pretended experts that are always telling people to calibrate their filaments.
When I first got a Bambu printer I played with the filament calibration for a minute and quickly decided that it was a waste of time. I have completely discarded the idea and find it odd that others spend so much time and effort on the subject. I have taken certain filaments and printed them with various different filament profiles with little to no effect. It is as if as long as the filament profile is in the ballpark, it will print just fine. Calibrating it to the nth degree seems to change nothing.
So, here we are, with the newly released Bambu Studio and a whole cadre of individuals rolling back their machines, making them less functional, because they can’t perform an unnecessary function. Seems so silly to me.
I DL 2.0.95 & the slicer stayed at 35% for 30 min & pgm not responding = force close. Rolled back to 1.09.04.60. Sliced fine as usual.
Then (definition of insanity) I tried 2.0.95 again . . . same results.
Thought maybe being in strictly LAN mode was the problem. P1S still on 1.0.7 due to the firmware fiasco. Does not seem so.
Loosing faith in BL’s ability to make their own stuff work.
Was this release even beta tested ???
But with fillaments from other brands that might not be the case:
I have some rolls(Geetech warm White PLA) that have properties that vastly differs to that of Bambu fillaments, they have a lot of pigments are extremely opaque, and its fluidity has nothing to do with that of Bambulab ones.
The stock k factor is 0.02 and the one for this fillament in 0.036-0.038, Wich is a masive difernce.
When not calibrated you can clearly see the diference in the z seam and sharp corners.
Its also the diference betwen 2 interconecting parts whit thight tolerances fitting or not.
So not so silly form the pretended experts.
Anyway, it is still a bug of the new version that many people is experiencing and must be solved.
I agree with you on 90% of filament. I too messed with it in Bambu slicer at the beginning, coming from using it on orca. Then I haven’t touched it in a year. Oddly I had a filament acting weird, seemed like over extrusion. I had just updated to the new version and went to use the calibration tool…
It is a bug. It wouldn’t be a bug if they removed it. But it’s still there and doesn’t work.
With new filament types and brands, I always want the option, but I hope not to have to use it.
Sorry this update is great garbage.
I have to choose Printer , PLA , 0,2 ore 0,4 each time . It does not memorise settings.
Also slicing takes lot of time.
Printing by same settings as in old version takes now double time - realy strange - realy garbage.
I’m realy enoyed
