How to make raised text to stop interferingwith top layers?

Hey is there a way to make the “top” layer before text smoother, and not take into account the coming layers?

Here are some examples, where I borrowed the pics from FB.

The first one highlights what it does now.

The second one is from Prusa slicer and I’m told uses a setting called interface shell. and that seems to make the top layer as if it were the highest top layer

Can we do this in Bambu Studio, and am I just missing it or is it yet to be a feature?

Are you talking about Ironing…??

Setting

Ironing

No ironing doesn’t change the way the underlying layers are printed, it just adds a super thin top layer.

How ever if you know how to make it iron the full surface (also under where it places raised text) I would be interested in knowing that as well :slight_smile: to get rid of that small edge/border it always leaves

the only way i know of getting what I seek would be some manual editing of the code, like slicing the file with out text and take the top layer gcode from that and then slice it with the text and replace the layer code with the code from one without text. but that’s a lot of work :stuck_out_tongue: with high risk of me fucking something up

Set the One wall threshold to 0 to prevent it from doing this. Setting it to 0 will give you a flat surface under the text.

Seems to do the trick for text nice! thanks

Hi,
I am sorry to post here, but as a new member i don’t seem to be able to raise a new post?

I suspect what I am trying to do is very simple but I can’t work out how to do it.

Basically make a simple rectangular token 3mm high. Within the token a different colour text the same 3mm high so that the top surface is totally flat.

IF I made the text higher than the rectangle I can see how to change the colour (A1 Mini, AMS Lite) of the text layers but not how to change text if it imbedded within the rectangle.

There was a paint option for text in bambu studio but that seems to create new text on top of the rectangle not imbedded within it.

I am familiar with 3d FDM and resin printers generally, and normally use Tinkercad for design, but am new to Bambu and multi colour printing.

Is there a simple guide somewhere for how to paint the different colours, especially text which is my main need.

You need to spend time forum and engaging before you are allowed to post.

Check out all the wiki articles as they generally provide the answers you need.

A quick answer.

Thank you, wish I knew this ahead before I printed a bunch of card with text ends up bad 2nd last layer surface. Didn’t even know how is that “One Wall Threshold” changes how the text ends up on 2nd last layer.

Where is this setting?

I have enabled “Developer mode” but I can’t find “One Wall Threshold” in Bambu Studio 1.9.3.50.

I dont think its in Bambu slicer, its one of many many settings we cant touch.

Orca slicer got it.

Hi, this is my very first post on here and ive found the answer for you. Its under Quality (Advanced) “Only one wall on top surfaces” set it to “Not Applied”. Worked perfectly for me, this thread must be the older version of BB Studio.

I agree, this is such an ANNOYING feature of Bambu Lab software. Why in the world can’t it just print a flat top layer and then print the text on top of that? Will have to try researching the one wall threshold setting and what it even controls. But it’s a pain when you have to find the one setting out of 50 that changes this. I think this should be done by default. It’s not like it saves any appreciable filament with the default behavior.

In some cases though it is better.
I see where you’re coming from and why you disagree with the defaults though.
Ideally we would have a clickable hover info when checking those boxes and values.
Doing so should give a few nice pics with explanation on how the setting affects things here and there.
Could even be made a community project …

i did not want to waste time on the % setting for top layer 1 wall I have had it set to 0% ever since this post and all I have seen is that it looks better.

its hard to have that as i did not know what setting was controlling it.

if you hover over most settings and even click the text it will open bambu wiki on the page and more often than not have a some what detailed explanation and some pictures, some better than others :stuck_out_tongue:

My point exactly LOL
I love it when I check something and the Wiki totally fails to impress because it is a few version numbers behind…

Where should it be in the wiki then? How would you search for it when you have no idea what it was called or have an idea of what it could be?

This specific use case cannot be listed. What should have been done, perhaps, is to not use one wall top as the default, so one would only encounter this problem when diving into advanced settings.

I cannot find the One Wall Threshold setting. It is not where pictured in the screenshots above. Where is this setting?

yes get orca slicer :slight_smile:

its the same slicer but with more control over setting :slight_smile:

Bambu seems to only have 1 wall of/off now
