When I add a brim with the brim-object gap set to 0mm, I’m still getting a slight gap as shown below. When I print, the brim is indeed not attached to the model and there’s obviously no aid in bed adhesion. If I slice the same model with a brim in Prusa or Cura, there is no gap and the brim is solidly attached to the object. Is this a bug in the Bambu slicer? Anyone else seeing this?
Thanks,
Randy
I noticed this last week. I was printing something very thin, and a couple of the prints pinged off the plate a few minutes into the print. Cleaning the plate thoroughly enabled me to get a good print in the end. But there is a gap between the brim and part, I couldn’t find a way to fix that in the current Bambu slicer software.
Yeah, I have some prints that have very little contact area with the bed and they print fine with a brim, that is as long as the brim attaches to the model. I checked Orca, since it fixes other glitches that I’ve found in Bambu slicer, but it does the same thing.
I’ve kinda solved the problem by adding the brim in CAD so it’s part of the STL. The only problem with this is that the filament path in the brim is not parallel to the object, like it is with a slicer generated brim, so it’s harder to remove.

I set the brim-object gap to 0mm in both Bambu and Orca. The gap is set to 0mm in the picture I posted above.

Had the same issue since day one the Brim function is null and void and of no use
Still seeing the same in Studio 1.7 Public Beta 2. Has anyone figured out how to resolve this?
Set Elephant foot to 0
That did it! As soon as I read your response it was like, facepalm. Thank you!
Randy
Is this “Elephant Foot” value changed to “0,15” in the last software from “0” in all the earlier versions?!?
I’m not very clear about this, I’m a new user who bought X1C in June, and I haven’t used the earlier version, but you can name and save your own settings permanently without worrying about version changes.
Same here. The gap is there regardless of whether it is set to 0 or 0.1. This issue has always been there.
Thanks, that worked for me. Bambu lab should check on this and compensate for it when the zero brim gap is set.
Followed this entire thread, and nothing worked. Still a huge gap between my first layer and the brim
I tried every combo of brim settings
The elephant foot is set to 0
Still a massive gap and cant solve
Welcome to the forum.
Can you post screenshots of your settings and perhaps a link to the model you are trying to slice?
I tried but sadly the forum tells me I am unable to post the screenshots, I tried uploading 4-5 different file types and gave up.
I did find a solution that made me not require the brim anymore by changing the layer height so I’m set for now, still a strange error
You should be able to post photos now as I upgraded your trust level.
