Throwing my hat into the ring here… I’ve been conducting consecutive test prints and was optimistic about finding a solution on this platform. However, it appears that the feature I was looking for is no longer available. @Tanklet, do you have any thoughts on this matter?
All my filaments are stored within the AMS. Yet, while making iterative adjustments to models for testing purposes, I prefer to avoid the filament being cut and “put away” each time and instead keep it loaded for rerunning test prints.
I have transfered this to the Bambu Studio team.
It would be more effective to post feature request on github, they will handle these tickets periodically. Issues · bambulab/BambuStudio (github.com)
Thank for the response, I had no idea that’s what was recommended but good to know for next time. It would be nice if it saved the Bed Level information and kept the filament loaded, heck even keep the machine hot ready for the next print to be sent through.
But I will look into GitHub for future requests. Thank you again! Glad to see you’re back.
hi tanklet. i would like to add my desire for this feature. it would be a great way to reduce both wasted plastics, print startup time and user experience !
A question regarding this feature - will this allow also to use the full bed size with AMS filament, so no exclusion zone in case of a single color print?
If I understand this correctly, to use the full print need to fold the ‘collapsable stopper’ and use an external filament.
With this feature does mean there’s only need to fold the collapsable stopper and use AMS as usual?
Yes, I think I am. Let me explain.
Bambu has an exclusion zone on the bottom left of the bed preventing using the full 256x256 bed size. This is due to the Stopper there that’s used to push the filament cutter to cut. Bambu offers a solution to fold the stopper and fix it (and some studio settings changes), but they also state that because of that AMS can’t be used, because AMS needs to cut the filament. So they force you to feed the spool externally, which is a bit of a pain.
When printing a single color print the only need for cutting filament is when filament is unloaded at the end of the print.
This is where it connects to this thread. With the feature mentioned here, the filament will not be cut at end of print, so can use the fix but continue using AMS.
Actually, since posting on this thread I’ve already done that, and printed a 243x245 using this method (removing the relevant g-code from above that unload the filament and avoids cutting the filament) which is larger than can normally fit on the bed as default.
Hope this clarifies things now.
Ahh… All clear now. Tbh. I AM especially looking forward to this feature for the time savings it brings in fast protoyping of mostly small prints (lots of time to be saved here… no unloading, no loading, no purge, etc.).
