Managment of filament without AMS

Bambu Lab X Series General discussions
1

Hello to all X1C experts.

I have 2 questions, please. Important point, I don’t have an AMS, so I manage the filaments “by hand”.

  Question 1: On the printer itself, is it possible to configure with precision which type of filament is installed. The only choices offered are Bambu filaments or generic filaments. Is there a way to download filament profiles that we have defined ourselves in the slicer Bambu Studio specialy adapted to the filaments we use?
  Question 2: For example, I sliced a project with a PLA filament profile and saved it on the SD card in .3mf file. I install now on my printer another type of filament, ASA for example, and I select it throught the printer menu. Now if I ask to printer to print  the saved project, will the printing be done with the profile of the filament saved in the project, therefore PLA, or will the printer automatically overides the printing parameters with the ones of the filament that I have configured locally, therefore ASA ?

Thank you for your contribution

Bonjour Alan,

As far as I know neither is possible.

The filament type offered on the printer screen is embedded in firmware, the printer uses that info to determine the nozzle temperature for load and unload. Detailed processing for a particular filament is handled in the slicer.

3MF file is stl file with embedded settings plus an image. Printer by itself cannot process it. This again is done on the slicer.
