I’d like to run calibrations on various filaments I have that aren’t Bambu. How do others do this in Studio? I also run Orca for other printers and have a reasonable understanding of their calibration procedures. Does Studio have this same calibration process? If I select Calibration, all I see is Flow Dynamics & Flow Rate. Are there other areas that have other calibrations? If not, is it possible to use the Orca calibrations and transfer the info to Studio (since Studio is a fork of Orca)? Appreciate any guidance on all this.
OrcaSlicer and Studio profiles can be kept in sync through the Bambu cloud if your Preferences allow.
With one exception, making a change to a profile in either slicer will result in a profile change in the other slicer. The exception is pressure advance (aka flow dynamics or K value). Studio does not acknowledge PA in the filament profile, only on the Device tab. OrcaSlicer gives highest priority to the PA value stored in the filament profile, overriding any value that might be on the Device tab.
Keep in mind that filament profiles are linked to a particular printer/nozzle. So your A1 will not be able to use a profile from your other printers.
I suggest you use OrcaSlicer for all of your filament calibrations and most printing. Use Studio only when you need one of its unique features, like MakerWorld uploads. Then use “Manage Result” on the Studio flow dynamics calibration page to manually enter the K value from the OrcaSlicer profile.
