I was watching a YouTube video on high temp printers and AON3D had a pretty interesting feature in the slicer that made me question if this is something that Bambu or the Slic3r open source community could create.
The feature was an analysis tool that recognized areas of high stress based on the type of polymer being used, the thickness, and slicing geometry/toolpaths. This was all done in slicer, possibly showing you where there might be a problem in the printing process.
I’m not sure if this is calculated using AI tools like finite analysis tools (like how Fusion 360 and other CAD softwares calculate analyses) or if this could be done with simple if/then clauses related to known issues with geometry. But either way, just wanted to throw it out there and see if there was a appetite for it.

I would love to see this done in Bambu studio or at least have Bambu studio facilitate the export of sliced files and settings for another fea analysis program. Its rather tedious to achieve at this moment.

Also, this doesn’t have to use true force analysis tools, but simply adding in warnings that a particular geometry is likely to create warping problems. For example, if a geometry has a 5mm wall of ABS/ASA it would be highlighted in yellow or red, suggesting this is a tough to print feature. I’m sure there are other print concerns that can be added to the analysis, but I can’t think of any.
I do think that the warp management would still be difficult to build in to Bambu Studio and would likely cost a fair bit of money. So… I’d imagine a significant investment on an open source project might not be appealing to a company, but I just thought I’d throw it out there.
