How do you adjust Z Offset on the P1S running Bambu Studio 2.1.1.52? Orca allows you to place the desired Z Offset directly in the Printer Settings which is really sweet and easy to adjust. It’s not there in Studio. You must be able to adjust Z Offset if needed, how do you do it on the P1S? Is there…

Yes. There are always reasons to adjust Z Offset when printing with multiple filament types. Bambu doesn’t honor the standard G92 Z Offset command but I believe you can add something like this to the Start G-Code in the Printer Settings: G91 ; relative mode G1 Z-0.04 F300 ; lower by 0.04 mm G90 …

[image] sealyons: Yes. There are always reasons to adjust Z Offset when printing with multiple filament types. Anyone here can tell you I’m one of Bambu Lab’s biggest critics. But in this case, I have to defend what might not be obvious. With older printer technologies, Z-axis adjustments - a…

Automatic bed leveling (ABL) and flow compensation are great…

Hi, I’m also struggling with trying to adjust my Z offset but so far I can only find how to adjust it on textured PEI plates, have you found a way to adjust it for smooth plates aswell?

Apparently you didn’t read the thread. The answer is right there in the second post: [image] How do you ADJUST Z OFFSET on the P1S Troubleshooting There is not. Is there a reason you need to adjust it?

I cannot think of a print parameter on a Bambu printer that is adjustable once the print begins. They are just not designed to work that way. Except for pause, resume and stop, the g-code is in full control. A bed height change due to different plate thickness is irrelevant - the printer locates t…

I recently bought a p1s and I’m having a strange problem. I unpacked it, calibrated it, launched a test print for a few minutes and a clicking noise appeared. I recovered the part, recalibrated it and the breakage is no longer intense and regular. It has been blocked since the sound was under the z …
