I make badges for a club. I just had to switch to PETG because the PLA badges were warping in the sun and heat. I had to lower the layer height to .08(.4 nozzle) to improve the quality of the text. However, there is no need to do that for the backing plate of the badge. I thought it was possible but I cannot find in Bambu Studio anywhere to control the layer height by object. I only see the Global setting. Is that correct?
Adaptive Layer lets you select an individual object and turn on Adaptive Layering. But it then applies it to all the objects in the project as far as I can tell. It’s like it’s an unfinished feature.
I think its quite difficult to print different Layer heigths to different objects on the same plate. They need to be aligned.
On a badge they are. There’s only 2 finished heights. The baseplate face and the text faces. But I agree, I’m sure it’s complicated.
The I don’t get your point. Select all Badges on the plate and activate the adaptive layer height. All other objects on other plates are not effected,.
I’m only working on a single plate. To make it simple, say I have 2 objects. I select the 1st object from the list and I click on the Adaptive Layer icon. I move the Quality/Speed slider all the way to the right and the value goes to 1.0. I click on the Adaptive Layer icon again and it closes the panel. If I select the 2nd object from the object list, click on the Adaptive Layer icon, the panel shows me the slider all the way to the right and the value at 1.0. Maybe I’m missing something but that to me means changing Adapter Layer for one object changes them for all. And you therefore can’t control Adaptive layer on a per object basis.
Edit: I found an old thread here and there used to be a feature that let you set the layer height for a range height of values. That would work good for my situation. Maybe it will return at some point. It said the Prusa slicer still has that.
I am not sure if a printer can handle two objects on one bed with different layer heights.
Just change the one, go the slicer and when the studio is done, change the view to layer heigth, and not line type.
You see, I added only to the right element the adaptive heigth. The other height is constant.
The selected heigth is the one you choosed. So, it seems that the slicer is only enlarging the layerheigth.
I think it makes sense to print on a second bed if needed. Otherwise your second item will be printed only in the thinnes heigth.
Thanks for doing that. I will play around with it later. I honestly didn’t know that Adaptive showed on the part. I missed that.
I just applied the variable layer height to a single item on the plate. What it shows in preview is the one with the .13 layer height will, every 3 layers or so, print an extra layer. While the other one with the .20 layer height will sometimes just print its own level if it doesn’t line up with the .13 layer. But the layers are interleaved so that they are for the most part tracking each other. I’ll print it and see how it turns out.
