FIXED: prime line getting pulled into print

Occasionally, my P1S would pull the prime line printed at the front of the plate into the print itself. It was random, and somewhat annoying, and would require me to stay near the printer and grab the line before it got pulled all the way. I want to credit a user on Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/user/ZuperPippo/) for solving this problem.

In Bambu Studio, navigate to the Prepare tab.

Under Printer, select your correct printer/nozzle size. For example, select Bambu Lab P1S 0.4 nozzle. Click the small edit icon next to this.

Select the Machine G-code tab.

Find the line that contains: G0 X18 E15 F{outer_wall_volumetric_speed/(0.3*0.5) * 60}

And replace it with: G0 X50 E15 F{outer_wall_volumetric_speed/(0.3*0.5) * 60}

Use the save icon at the top of the window to save a new printer profile. I called mine: Bambu Lab P1S 0.4 nozzle - Fixed prime line

Repeat for each of your nozzle sizes (0.2, 0.6, etc.)

If you do a test print, you can see how/why this works. I wish I could inform the Bambu Studio team to incorporate this change going forward!

Any value in explaining how and why it works here?

Yes - the prime line makes two passes. On the second (return) pass, this code stops before it gets back to the initial start position. So, the adhesion of the first pass remains intact. If you do a test print, you can see how it works - brilliant!

Thank you for this tip, it’s made a big difference! More often than not my P1S tries to drag the prime line and this fixes that completely. I just ran flow calibration and that doesn’t use the setting, so of course it tried to drag the line (note: I took the photo after pulling the line back)

Yeah - I do wish the Bambu team would just incorporate this fix.

Thanks, I’m new to 3D printing and you made that easy, it also fixed it right up.

Thanks for the fix. Worked for me as well.
My P1S dragged the prime line with it almost every time … pretty annoying, especially for remote printing.
Thanks for sharing.

This seems to work! My P1S didn’t always do this, had it a little over a year and it’s started mostly in the last month I think. But it’s gotten bad enough that this needs to be fixed, so thank you!
