Issues with Bambu Translucent PLA

Hi all,

Just loaded a spool of Bambu translucent pla in an AMS 2 and the AMS reads it correctly but it won’t show up in studio. Any ideas as to the issue?

I am running the latest version of studio and I have selected the filament to show.

Any help appreciated.

I looked in Bambu Studio 2.2.2.56 and it shows up in the filament drop down in prepare for both P1S and H2D. My setup does NOT have an AMS connected.
Edit: and it does appear that filament is defined for all nozzle sizes.

Maybe if all else fails restart everything if you haven’t already.

So what does show up in that slot when you sync?

Thank all.

I have restarted the x1c. The ams and studio.

What is showing up is pla matte. Could this be caused by the fact I have the obsidian HF flow nozzle installed?

Thanks again

This list of options scrolls side to side and up and down on many computers.

I have missed some filament selections because they were in the bottom rows of tick boxes not visible until you scroll them into view.

Give than a try.

It shouldn’t be.

There are issues where the list excludes filaments that are blocked from us with some nozzle sizes.

The TPU 85A filament is one, you need to select a 0.6mm nozzle before it will appear.

BL PLA Translucent works fine with the standard 0.4mm nozzle so it is likely that is the size you have enabled.

If you wish to check, tell the print you have a standard BL 0.4mm nozzle, check the list again and see if it appears.

Remember to swap back.

There is a chance that you will need to create a custom profile based on the Bambu one for that nozzle.

Don’t use the nozzle so just making a WAG here.
It may not be part of the problem but the only PLA presets I am seeing for that nozzle are:

    PLA Basic
PLA Matte
PLA Metal
PLA Marble
PLA Silk
PLA Silk+
PLA Sparkle
PLA Glow
PLA Dynamic
PLA Galaxy
PLA Wood
PLA Lite

Added X1C to my test bed. Imported CFG file for that nozzle (0.4) and that limits the filament choices to the presets for that nozzle.

Edit: and unfortunetly since the nozzle type is custom I can’t seem to create a custom profile for that nozzle. I might be missing something here so maybe someone with some actual experience can provide a solution.

Edit: you may have to just choose X1c plain and create a custom with the nozzle and the filament tweaks?

I suppose you could always try contacting e3d support and see if a preset is in the works. They have a bunch of 0.6 posted at link below, I guess there was a tech issue on bridging or something with the Bambu ones that slowed printing down but that was 3 or 4 months ago so may be fixed now.

Thanks all, You are correct it is the HF nozzle that is the issue. I just moved the translucent PLA to the H2S with the standard nozzle and it is recognised in both the AMS and studio.
thanks for the help.
