I changed from a roll of ABS to PLA, but when I go to print I says I need to use ABS. I can’t print unless I choose ABS in the Prepare screen. How do I get past this?
You likely need to change the filament type from the printer control panel to PLA.
Where do I do that on a P1P. I’m new to this.
Did you try to go to the device tab and change the filament type there by clicking on the icon with the picture of the external spool?
If you mean from the picture above, that’s ABS grayed out, no select.
That page just had a single roll of ABS shown and load/unload was grayed out. I went thru a few loads and unloads from the printer UI and finally a factory reset. It never asked what was on the spool post, but it did let me edit it from ABS to PLA. Printing now. Thanks for the help.
This window tells you that you have set the model to use PLA in the Prepare tab of Bambu Studio. This is why it can’t find a match, as you have set the external spool to ABS.
You need to go to the Prepare tab and set one of the filaments in your filament pool to be ABS. Use the drop-down menu on any existing filament listed, or press the plus button “+” and change that one.
Make sure your model has that filament selected, right-click the model and use the “change filament” menu or select the model and press the number that corresponds to the one you set to ABS.
Reslice, select print, and your window should now show ABS in the swatch.
The factory resets are all unnecessary, as are any unloads/loads.
