H2D can't print at .28mm layer height?

Bambu Lab H2D
1

I’m not finding much info on this from searches. With my X1’s and A1, I often print at .28 for functional parts for quicker printing and I’m not as concerned layer lines and stuff. Finally got my H2D and when I load up saved projects from the other printers I noticed quickly that there is no .28 profile. If I try to change the layer height to .28 I get the popup below.

I’ll go ahead and run some test prints but I just find it odd that there isn’t a profile and there appears to be a limit on what the printer “likes”. As I mentioned, I’m not finding any results discussing this when searching so I’m curious if anyone has any info relating to this.

I know .28 is kind of at the limit of a usable layer height but it has worked fine for me on the other printers for what I need.

Also, digging around a little, if I go int othe printer settings, the Max for both Left and Right is set at .28mm

Would you need to create a custom preset first ? ignore i just got same message on save preset , but you can ignore and try a test print / cube ?

Well, I can ignore the warning and I plan to do some test prints. It just seems odd that there isn’t a “Bambu” profile for .28 by default.

It’s also strange that on the X1 .24 is named as “Draft” and .28 is “Extra Draft” but on the H2D .24 is “Standard”

You could change it to 0.32, but they most likely set it to lower spec do to TPU.

I also adjust these settings for variable layer height to ensure the layer height stays within my desired ranges.

Did you get that same error popup when you changed that? That’s what I found to be strange.

Yeah, I’ve changed it and I’m running some prints. Again, I was just more surprised that it wasn’t a profile by default and that it popped up an warning when I did change it to .28 even though the printer settings had the Max at .28.

Bambu prioritize user friendliness and safe conditions in their printers, but they should also offer a professional level in the slicer with more advanced settings for experienced users they do provide additional settings in developer mode.

clearly! like they hardcoded the 40mm3 flow max for standard hotend, and it’s clear it can do more

and they removed the calibration orca slicer menu

Yes, i recieved the same error before i changed the initial layer height from .2 to .28
