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
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 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 with high risk of me fucking something up
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.
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.
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
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.
