I want to make a red mask and a blue mask (the Oni mask; one peaceful, one angry).
They both have silver tusks/cheeks.
I clicked one, hit ctrl-k to duplicate it… but if I change the filament… it changes for both.
How can I set “all blue” (Filament #2) for /one/ of the masks to become Red (Filament #3)
Ich gehe mal davon aus das du das im Bambu Studio machst, rechtsklick auf dein Bauteil, ganz unten auf “Filament wechseln” und dann in deine Wunschfarbe ändern.
It sounds like you are changing the filament in the filaments palette in the top left of Bambu Studio.
This is the filament palette.
This is where you select all the filaments your project may use. This is NOT where you change the filament choice for a specific object or individual part.
You should select the object as a whole or choose the part from the object panel to change a specific part.
Right-click the selected element and look down the bottom of the context menu to see Change FIlament.
Select the colour you require.
This is how you change an object/part to a different colour.
Flip the switch to Objects, then click on the model so it highlights under objects.
Than right click change filament to red or blue.
You can also use the number keys on your keyboard as a shortcut to assign the number of a filament out of your current library to the selected part - select your part on the plate, and press 1-9 to assign the desired filament using the numbers shown next to the desired filament.
You can actually type 1-16 on the keyboard to choose a colour.
As long as there isn’t a big delay between the first and second digits for 10-16.
Great hadn’t spotted that they had made that change to allow virtual extruders above 9 to be more easily accessed in release 1.9.1 - so just closed the suggestion I raised for this back in Sept 23 Shortcuts for extruders/ams slots above 9 · Issue #2494 · bambulab/BambuStudio · GitHub
So I’ve tried yours and lion7718… but it doesn’t seem to work for a part (?) that has 2 filaments in it already?
The Filigree Oni Mask by Relicsempire - MakerWorld mask has 2 colors (4 listed, but 2 colors?) – I put one on the plate, hit ctrl-k to duplicate it, and then rotated it 180 and moved the priming tower out of the way (it won’t let me upload the 3mf file)…
But I can’t seem to change the “yellow” filament (in Makerworlds’ pic) to Blue on one (AMS Slot 3) and Red on the other (AMS Slot4)…
If I right click on the object, I see 4 options… but left-click or right click… doesn’t change the color of the object (the color changes in the Process box, but the model on the plate… stays the same)
There is a paint symbol next to each layer in your screenshot.
This means the model was painted rather than a solid colour applied to each part within the model.
Select the part in the objects panel as you have and then select the paint icon in the toolbar (paint can at 45º) and between the text and ruler tools.
In here you can use several painting tools to make the changes you need.
There is a “reset” button to remove all the ‘paint’ already applied. This may only apply to the painting you perform rather than the painting performed before the model is saved.
This is where the confusion is “painting rather than solid colours”.
In an ideal world, the UI would have informed you that as it has been painted, applying a solid colour does nothing.
Ouch! Okay, that makes sense, but I’d like a feature request for Bambu Studio…
– When you flip to object mode, have each object show boxes of each filament used (so, in this case 4 boxes on each line)
– Then you could click on each box and set A1, A2, A3, A4 … etc.
– Then press slice and… let’s roll.
(Which is kind of what I was expecting, but only one color shows up when you flip to “objects” instead of global)
It’s possible because you duplicated model & it’s on the same plate.
If you add a plate & move 1 model to a new plate, it should work.
It would also lower your print time because your not changing colors as often.
I am not exactly sure what you are describing, but I will take a guess.
You wish to quickly change the currently assigned colour choices from what was there to what you prefer.
That is achieved by changing the existing filaments (located in the top left of the Prepare tab).
If you change a red to orange, anything assigned to red or painted red will now be orange. Move to the next filament until you have changed all those you wish to.
He wants 1 mask Red & Silver and the 2nd Blue & Silver
I understood that, but, a different question was posed in the follow-up to my earlier message. That was entirely about the convenience of changing colours.
Nah, that didn’t work either – Both plates’ colors change at one time. Worth a shot…
With a print time of 20 hours, this one falls into “overnight” or “weekender” anyway.
Oh vell… Last night was Blue, tonight is Red…
It won’t work if you have two plates, two models at the same time as changing one colour to another changes all instances of it.
To clarify, there are two main ways to change the colour of one or more parts of a model.
Change the filament colours in the top left corner of the Prepare tab.
This will make the change to anything in the same colour, this is because it is exactly what you told it to do.
Select the filament for each object or part
This will only affect the selected item.
Use the paint tools
You do this to get more control over the model than changing individual parts.
If #3 has been used, you can’t use #1 or #2 until you reset the painting in #3.
If you want to have two versions of something, you can’t change colours hoping only one model is affected.
There are no shortcuts, either set up the colours for the project (this is all plates) and use the colour options as I noted above or create two files, one plate each and change the colours as I mentioned above.
What…??
As long as you can remove the Lock Icon, you can do anything.
This tells me the OP tried my suggestion…
That isn’t what we were talking about.
The OP is trying to change one of the helmets despite them being clones and being painted.
This means both have identical colour choices right now and painted which means you can’t toggle the filament colour.
So, when I said…
This is true because changing the filament colour from the top left (the bit you didn’t include in the quote) will change EVERYTHING red in the project on all plates to that new colour.
Removing a lock icon doesn’t change this.
It is also important to note, the last screenshot shown displays a paint icon and not a lock icon.
There is a much easier way to do this, without messing with filament settings. Say you have a model that uses red but you would rather it be blue. What you do is when you press the print plate tab, a dialog box pops up. In that dialog box one is given the option of mapping colors to filaments loaded in the AMS units. In this case one maps the red from the file to the blue in the AMS. You would have to print the red and blue masks separately.
That is a solution, but, not an ideal one.
You may forget to set the correct colour, I have done this more than once.
All the flushing calculators are now wrong and any attempt to minimise waste will now mean blended colours rather than pure ones as the flushing has no idea about the selected colours.
