Danger! H2S - Slicer allows Collisions, Print Sequence "By object"

Hi, I was printing some test objects on my H2S today and I used Print sequence “By object”. I have arranged the objects in such a way that slicer does not report any collision. However during real print there was a collision and the print head hit one of the objects. This happened twice, on two consecutive print runs. I have run a time lapse on the second print so I am attaching all the screens+3mf. It seems the slicer is not properly calculating the path or size of the H2S print head. This can be very dangerous on large objects and can even damage the printer.

I am using newest firmware and software (2.2.1.60).

From your 3mf:

care to get out the calipers?

And this is the H2S presets from BS 2.2.1.60

Did you use the auto-arrange function or did you manually place them?

I expected to see them offset horizontally if you used the automatic feature.

Try that and report back.

Hi Bullocks, you screen is not what I see. I see the same as at Philch’s screen below. See my photo. These settings resulted in a collision. Auto arrange function is actually arranging items back and front, not left and right. I was also surprised (Other printers are different). But generally I arranged them myself in such a way that I cleared all the Slicer safety buffers and Slicing had no warnings.
Are the preset Extruder Clearance settings for H1S wrong?

It was a combination of the two, but actually for H2S auto arrange arranges them back and front, not left and right. Try playing with the 3mf attached to the main post.

Hm, sorry for the confusion, when I load it up in Orca, thats what it loads as. But in either case, if those numbers are incorrect with reality (aka the machine in front of you and your calipers measuring it) the slicer can create paths that will collide. If you want to keep troubleshooting and maybe arrive at a solution today vs waiting for support robots, I’d get out the calipers to confirm those measurements.

EDIT: Why does bambu studio have yours greyed out? If you save a copy of the machine, are you able to edit it?

Ok, I did what you asked for :slight_smile: From the nozzle to back of the extruder there is 81-82mm just like in the preset, maybe a little more. But if I measure diagonally (from the nozzle to the corner) there is 84mm. Ups. So I already raised a ticket, hope Bambu will correct their preset.

EDIT: I don’t think I am able to edit it myself :rofl:
