Hi there, something I noticed with Bambu Studio 1.9.1.67 (new stable release) is that the print dialog box when using the Textured PEI Plate, no longer automatically un-checks the Flow Dynamics Calibration checkbox, and no longer shows the warning tooltip when hovering over it.
Previously on all older versions of Bambu Studio, the check-box would be automatically unticked whenever you used the textured plate, and you’d get a warning: “Caution to use! Flow calibration on Textured PEI Plate may fail due to the scattered surface.”
So was this remedied? or is it an oversight and we still shouldn’t use it?
I’m printing something right now and testing using Flow Calibration when printing, and so far nothing bad has happened, but I’m curious to know what is actually happening with this update.
Yes, offical update will be good, during the BETA phase of Latestr studio I moved to primarlly aall pritning on Textured PEI, then I noticed i could even CALIBRATE filaments K value automatically etc (or still manually) - so I redo them all via the automted process, and numbers came out pretty close\good.
I even did some White and partial transulicent\clear - and read the bed \ lidar the auto-k just fine.
I think they may have fixed it for Textured - but again yes Offical update be great?
From the Bambu Store regarding Textured PEI Sheets: The latest firmware brings significant improvements to the Bambu Textured PEI Plate calibration using the Micro Lidar, and it is now fully compatible with the automatic calibration process.
I am a new member. Since I can’t start a new thread yet, I might as well post my question here since it is related to flow calibration.
On X1C, is there a way to completely turn off the Flow Calibration lines at the start of each job? Even with unchecked Flow Dynamic Calibration at the send print job screen, the printer still prints one single calibration line.
I think that’s considered more of a purge. Do you need the space for a print, or are you concerned about that hundredth of a gram of filament? I’ve done big prints that went right over top of the calibration area and just trimmed it off the finished print… no issues.
I need the space for large prints. What you suggested is not a problem if it’s a single-color print, but it is a problem with multi-color prints. So far, my workaround is to pause the print after that “purge/calibration” line so I can remove that line before continuing the printing. I would like to just turn that purge/calibration line off. Or if it’s just a purge line, why not just purge in the purge shute?
Gotcha, that makes sense. I don’t do much multi-color stuff, so that didn’t occur to me. I don’t really know what they consider it, but I don’t think it’s technically part of flow calibration - since unchecking the box doesn’t make it go away. You probably could edit the g-code to get rid of it, but I suspect it’s there because they had better results with it. If it’s just an occasional thing, I think the pause is probably the best solution… but perhaps there’s a way to make a print profile that includes that pause as custom g-code.
I use Orca instead of Bambu Studio and in Orca, you can turn on verbose g-code and dig into the actual commands, line by line. Not sure that’s an option in Bambu. Might be worth a look.
you could look at custom machine start gcode modifications. I got my x1c to start printing in 30 sec instead of usual 6 min at the start of each print. I still have a purge line in the front of the bed that I can easily remove immediately after it is laid down.
problem in that it would crash when opened.
this is such great news
