Hey all, so when I’m doing my multicolour prints it’s usually a base with another colour on top. When I import into Flashprint the software remembers the location co-ordinates on both parts in the 3D space so they are automatically aligned properly. When I try the same in Bambu Studio it puts both parts on the bed in a seemingly random location. Currently I’m using the centre option to align the 2 parts in the middle of the bed, then manually adjusting the Z height to put the second part on top of the first (based on the physical measurements of the parts)
The problem I’m finding with this is the printer is printing a tiny imprint of the top part into the base part, which is interfering with ironing. Is there a way of ‘snapping’ the part to the top of the base in Studio so the software knows what’s going on?
Did you ever figure this out? we need an option to align them together so the print embeds at the same height as the top layer/bottom layer, it is really frustrating.
I’m probably misunderstanding what your are trying to do, but…
It sounds like you could combine the two parts into a single model and just change change colors at the appropriate layer height. No need to align or join two individual parts.
load the first part, right click and add modifier, load the next part. check the height of the first part and amend the height of the second to match that. Then move it above the first part and amend x and y to 0 to align the part and change type to “part”.
Kind of looks like ‘eyeballing it’ is the only effective way, but it is by no means a good way. Bambu should have a function that drops parts on top of each other the same way that it will snap to the build plate. Bambu: please fix this and make it happen!!!
Yeah they really should. Flashforge have done this for YEARS with FlashPrint. I can load another part on top of the other and it will snap to the mm. If I choose to iron the lower part it will do this before starting the next part.
In Studio it tries to build the top part INTO the bottom part and iron around it.
