So I have a rectangular bucket with an embossed name on one side. The bucket is supposed to be red, the embossed letters are filled with white.
Because they are aligned in the exported stls (and because it would be difficult to align them if imported separately ), I imported both stls at the same time as one model.
In Bambu studio I see a main model with two sub- models. I pick red for the bucket and white for the embossed letter fill.
The parent model has a filament color assigned, which I do not understand as it is composed of the two subparts, so there is nothing left to color. I cannot uncheck the parent model without losing the two separate parts.
So for the parent object I picked red.
The preview looks great. Bucket red infilled letters, white. The colors loaded in the Carbon X1c were sync’d from the printer and are also correct.
I started the print, and the bottom of the bucket print in white… so I aborted.
This is a new printer and software, so I apologize if I missed something easy. Anyone have experience with workflow for coloring multiple stl files imported as one ?
Can you post a screenshot of this? The gear icons I see are for printer and filament, and the compare settings icon for the process. None of those have a first layer filament sequence option. Thanks!
Related: can either of you help me understand why there is a second color filament on my second plate here? Both plate settings are set to all defaults in terms of filament order, and as you can see every object on both plates is set to the same filament.
Why is there a prime tower that includes a filament I’m not using in the model, and on one plate only?
Here is some more context: the support for this object is being printed in the right color, but the object itself is being printed in a color I haven’t selected anywhere, why? I can hack my way through this by changing the assignment of the 2nd filament slot, but it’s still going to print a useless prime tower and I’d really like to understand what’s wrong with the settings.
