I was unaware that the X1C had presets for Overture. I have always been configuring it as Generic. I will look again. Good to know.
On a side note, what was the cause of your rattling nose? I used to hear something that sounded like rattling as well, but not so much any more.
It had to do with the sparse infill type, Grid, as well as the % infill. I had it at 15% and the author suggested 5%, which I did then. Also I lowered the max ‘recommended nozzle temperature’ to 220 deg. Bambu Lab has it at 240 deg in their Overture PLA settings. But that might not have been the main culprit.
btw for the Overture PLA settings to show up you have to check the box in the ‘Filament Selection’ section. To get there under 'Prepare/Filament click on the ‘Filaments to use’ button (Gear-like icon) and the go to the check-box for Overture and click/enable it.
Yes, thanks for the reminder. I am thinking that when I originally setup my machine, the Overture brand settings may not have even been available, but can’t be sure at this point. As “Generic” for Overture, I’ve always used 220 for the nozzle temp. One of my very early prints had some scraping noise when it got well into the print. I either don’t hear it any more or it doesn’t do it any more. I was too inexperienced then to even know what infill was.
Current version 1.7.7.89 of Bambu Studio has it so I don’t know what version they started to include it in. I assume they will include more brands in future upgrades. You can also use Orca slicer that will be probably even more ahead of the curve. Maybe. Coming to think of it ORCA looks very, very similar to B-studio. So it’s studio with feature add-ins and perhaps more filament settings too? Who knows.
Yes I remember the days when I was glad I could get a finished print out of there without it peeling off the plate. I worried more about adhesion and nozzle clogs than noise. Infill, what’s that? Brim, skirt, support? Went with the defaults in Cura. If it didn’t print, forget about it. Next item, next PTFE tubing, next nozzle etc. etc. But I hope this is all over now and I can work on making things look better, Remixes, learning the intricates of 3D printing not printers. Instead of worrying ‘Will it print this time?’
Happy , creative printing.
Yes, I have been an Orca user for some time now. I have, however, had a few STLs that would not open in Orca without errors, but would in Bambu. A new Orca is still in beta, but will hopefully resolve some of these issues. I am a firm believer that one never finishes learning all of the nuances of 3D printing.
I was trying to print a remix that I did of a part taken from each of two downloaded models. Basically a slice, swap and imbed kind of a job. However, when embedding one of the sliced parts from model A, into the base of model B, the hidden internal end of one of the parts was unsupported internally within the other model. Out of sight, out of mind. The print kept failing over and over again. No fiddling that I did accomplished anything. A day and probably 3 more print attempts later, it dawned on me that it kept failing at approximately the same layer each time. I examined the slicing, layer by layer in close proximity to where it kept failing and sure enough, there it was, plain as day, the lack of internal supports, to support what I could not even see. I turned supports on and sure enough, a good print. I have since reengineered it much more efficiently, but that was a good learning experience for me. I never even thought about having to support what I could not see. I won’t let that happen again. But I will definitely do lots of other idiot things as printing continues…
