If I missed it please show me where it was, but I haven’t seen an explanation for why one would want to use some of the process profiles in bambu studio. Clearly it goes from low layer heights to large, and the strength profile adds perimeters and infill density.
This is referring to an “unfinished/preliminary” state. If you just want to quickly print a test that doesn’t need a higher quality.
to write something such as a letter, speech, or report in a form that may have changes made to it
The default processes (aka presets or profiles) are just a few combinations of settings provided for your convenience. It is similar to the default themes of a word processor - combinations of paragraph styles and formatting. The names are subjective, you can change the name to anything you like and save them as User presets.
All of the variables contained in a process can be changed and saved as a new User preset. I don’t usually want brims and prefer a gyroid infill, so I change those options before saving as my new “Standard”
Short layer heights can provide greater detail, at the expense of speed and usually less strength. Taller, “Draft” heights will print faster and stronger but may not show small features.
Besides layer heights, there are other differences between the default processes. The easy way to see all the differences is to use the Compare Presets button at the end of the Process line:
This will show you only the settings that are not the same:
Thanks, I hadn’t noticed the preset comparison tool before.
In my every day vernacular, “draft” is the taper you design into parts to be injection molded, hadn’t even considered it meant prototype lol.
I know this is an old thread, but I wanted to thank you regardless. I cannot tell you how much time I’ve spent clicking back and forth and taking screenshots to compare, and the answer was right under my nose the whole time. I’d have never even thought to click/hover over that tiny little image. Although they have changed the icon at this time, it’s still in the same place so this is still relevant today.
