New to AMS. Need Advice: Purge optimization

G’day. Zulkir here. I’m new to the Bambu AMS Lite for the Bambu A1/mini. I’m currently seeing that there is a lot of filament changes and printing inadequacies, and I’m wondering if there’s a way to optimize the amount of filament purges this thing does?

I’m also wondering if there are ways where i can tell Bambu Studio to print specific parts on the same layer into their entirety before changing filament colors / types? it tends to do part of the same layer, shift to a new color, complete that color, then go back to the previous color and finish off the rest of it… seems… suboptimal…

Also, Just as a heads up: I AM NEW to 3d printing as a whole. Any links or resources, or anything that you can send to me would be appreciated. I’m not afraid to do some reading, but i figured I’d ask here to get the advice and knowledge from the community :slight_smile:

You cannot print one color fully and then switch to another, the nozzle wouldn’t be able to reach the plate whithout hitting the other part already printed which is high a few millimiters already.

But I’m also no expert here, and I’m also having issues with a multicolor print which I can’t for the life of me resolve

btw, a way to save filament for example in the model I posted in my thread is to cut the whole thing in half horizontally and make the “front” multicolor and the whole back one single color, if you know what I mean…?
but that would only work on simple flat shapes
