Hey group!
I have added a pause in my bambu studio slicer, however when I am printing there is no indication of the upcomming pause or a timer to say xxxx mins until pause…?
how do I know the pause is in the actual printing model?
i would of thought the controller would of shown time to pause?
Although I no longer use Bambu Studio, I’m sure this feature exists in BS. However, if not, here’s where you find it in Orca Slicer. Use the slider on the right hand side and hover over it and it will tell you a lot of information including the time into the print where they print head will be. If there is a pause, it will tell you what that time is. In this example at layer 100, it’s 8.12mm tall and it’s 10m 5s into the print.
If you’re not using Orca Slicer, there is no harm in loading both on your machine. Orca is based on the Bambu Source Code so its essentially the same interface just many more quality of life features that make life a lot easier.
Hi Olias
thankyou for your reply, I am able to add it and view it in bamboo studio ok, but the printer is not showing any sign of it during the actual print?
I guess I will have to wait and see in a few hours if it will pause or not.
On my mark forge printer it shows a timer of the overall print and time to next pause, so you know there is definitely a pause and when it will happen…
If the pause is in your last slice, it will work. I am using this feature quite often. However, I agree, it would be awesome to see a timer at least in Bambu studio.
Yes, this is one of the many shortcomings of the Bambu firmware that one only encounters when exploring the more advanced printing features.
It’s clear that Bambu is pretty much done with any significant improvements to the display interface for the X1 and P1. This ties directly into the controversy over Bambu blocking access to Panda Touch, which at the very least would allow for third-party extensions to compensate for their feature gaps. Nobody expects a device of this class to have everything, but Bambu is now openly blocking the community from enhancing the product through their recent actions.
Truth be told, this is a real bone of contention for many of us, because the maker community generally holds the view that if a platform lacks a feature, that’s an opportunity for creative innovation. However, Bambu Lab’s recent stance seems clear: “If we didn’t think of it, you don’t need it—and we won’t allow it.” That’s a far cry from when they first introduced the P1P and actively encouraged users to mod their cases by providing template designs.
It’s also a big reason why so many makers feel this has become an act of betrayal bordering on an openly hostile relationship, with the user community portrayed as the bad guys simply for not being satisfied with their supposed genius.
