I’ve been printing pretty steadily the last few days and switched to a pla matte and they prints started looking funky. I used the pre loaded benchy to see if I could figure anything out and they came out strange. I’ve loaded some pics of the problem with the original print that failed and the benchys that followed. I’m using an a1 and all colors are Bambu pla matte with their setting.
Commenting to help find this later too see if anyone has an answer. Im new to printing but i havent seen or had to fix this issue yet.
lol I’m new too, it’s been I think a day since I posted, I have a print shop near me and imma see if they can give any advice based on the benchy’s I’ll keep you posted if I hear anything!
The print that failed looks like it needed supports. For the benchy, it looks a little like a temperature or flow problem to me. The pre-loaded files are pre-sliced, with a specific filament type and its loaded settings. I don’t believe these get adjusted to the AMS settings, so if you use the preloaded print with something that isn’t PLA-basic, it’s likely to go badly. PLA-matte is very close to PLA-basic, but not 100% the same.
Try using Bambu Studio to slice the benchy from MakerWorld, or at least use the Handy app. Slice it with the filament type you actually have, and see if that improves things. If it does, then it’s likely the other model was a support issue. Hard to say for sure without seeing the intended model though.
I appreciate the response! So for the part you said needs a support on the print it had one, when I removed it it looked a little strange and I ran my finger over it and that’s the result like the layers didn’t adhere.
As for the benchy I used both the pre-set as card and I sliced it and ran it with very similar results. Which has left me pretty confused with it as these issues kinda just started randomly.
Pre-loaded benchy (aka run on printer screen) is super fast (<20min), with some filaments it works fine. With others it does not.
One filament that didn’t work for me is petg translucent, it just sucks when printed fast. I did like a 44min benchy which looked great, but the canned one on the machine just didn’t work well. Even when setting the filament in the printer manually.
Generally, setting filament in Bambu studio and slicing there seems to improve print quality. Likely they update those settings.
Does it go back to normal if you print in PLA-basic? And are both types of filament Bambu, or some other brand? It looks like overextrusion, and the most likely cause is slicer settings (temp, speed, max flow) not matching what the filament needs.
I haven’t gone back to basic yet I will try that later today, both of the filaments are Bambu and I did use the appropriate filament settings to match
