With innovative Aftermarket Build Plates, It would be nice to add the functionality to create your build plate with its settings for temperature, etc.
similar to creating your filaments. right now we are limited to modifying g codes making the process cumbersome.
Love the printer!
Thanks
I would hardly call adding a texture to a build plate innovative.
Why are you having to modify Gcode to use third party plates? You could just change the settings in the slicer. Temperature settings and other settings are stored in the filament profile, not the bed type, so just make a filament profile with your settings for that bed, just treat it as a high temp plate for example but change the temperatures.
You can also disable checking for the bed type before a print, that way it won’t look for the marker on the bed.
So, does the Plate type setting in Bambu Studio make no difference to the slicer at all? If so, why bother having it there, and as such a prominent parameter? Is that just so that the recommended plate type can be stored as part of the 3MF file? @conor.stewart18
No it does make a difference, different bed temperatures are set for different bed types but the bed temperatures are stored in the filament settings not the bed settings.
Also bambu studio will warn you when using a filament with a plate that isn’t compatible.
To use a third party plate you do not need to alter gcode or anything like that, if it is a PEI bed then just select the high temperature plate and change the bed temperature setting in the filament settings.
Also the printer, maybe X series only, will scan the bed at the start of a print to make sure the correct bed is in the printer.
ridiculous reply, your way means there is no reason for build plate profiles at all, your replies here are totally un-helpful, if you are happy constantly changing temperatures on plate profiles then go ahead, if you have nothing helpful to reply, then i suggest you do not bother.
