Thank you, this is very helpful!
When I get home from work, I am going to try this. I am suspecting that this is the real issue.
Wow, they aren’t a little different, they are VERY different!
How can I change the profile to say it is only for X1C when I print by object? Or do I have to check all the printers that it includes?
You had my experience when I realised it.
Currently, you cannot exclude printers from your profile, it is coming though.
You can create a workaround. Create an A1 and/or A1 mini specific print profile and label it as A1/A1 mini specific. Users will see it labelled as such in the list.
Include information in your description that tells people which profiles to use depending on their printer.
Your print profile name prefixes could say:
- P & X series…
- A series…
If required
- A1 mini…
- A1 (full size)…

Whenever I use Print by Object on my A1 Mini, I try to put the bigger items in the back & the smallest in the front. You can still have some issues & will have to add another plate or two.
I have updated all my “Print by Object” profiles. Thanks so much for helping me figure this out.
Happy to.
The use of the faux printers is a tip most don’t use.
We are told one does the same as the other, but, in reality, it isn’t that easy.
As I say, I only experienced it when I moved through the A1 mini, A1 (now recalled) to the P1S (and its twin that arrived today).
The excluding printer type feature will be in the next update.

You can now exclude printers from your profile updates.
I have just spotted the change as I am uploading a few models.
Awesome! I will check it out! Thanks!
Knowing what I know now, I have also started adjusting my profiles so actually will work for the printers included.
I will update the profiles with similar issues though.

I’ve recently received a review that I find quite puzzling. Unfortunately, I rarely get responses when I follow up on negative reviews. Even so, I’ve asked the reviewer to specify the problem, and what printer they used. I suspect that an unsuitable printer might have been used. The profile is older, and I think they might have tried printing on an A1 or A1 Mini. Since I don’t own an A1, I can’t say for sure whether a profile created for the X1C would work on it.
Given the current seasonal transition, I suspect they might have encountered adhesion issues on an open-frame printer. Additionally, the acceleration values come to mind. I doubt that an A1 would handle values around 10000 (which is a standard value for X1) very well. How am I supposed to know which printers to exclude because the results are likely to be subpar?
It would be incredibly helpful if (@Tanklet) could provide some additional data when submitting reviews, such as whether the print was a direct print via the app (yes/no) and which printer was used. If it was a direct print via the app, I can assume that the print profile remained unchanged.
Unfortunately, I can open 3MF files in Bambu Studio, make changes to the print profile, and send the model to the printer. However, when I’m asked to rate the designer’s print profile, it still refers to the original profile, not my modified one that i have send to print. This means that an inaccurate or irrelevant rating can be submitted.
There needs to be more clarity. Perhaps only direct prints via the app should be eligible for ratings if there’s no other way to resolve this issue.
Ok …
I’m currently finalizing a profile for a large object and am preparing to release it. I’m concerned about potential warping and other issues common to open-frame printers. As I only have an X1C, I understand that if users experience failed prints with large filament amounts, they’ll be frustrated and likely leave negative reviews. Should I completely exclude open-frame printers from the recommended printer list for large prints?
It’s also counterproductive when new printers are simply added for older profiles that were never intended for them. This forces us to review all our profiles whenever new printers are released to exclude incompatible models. Users may get the impression that they can print a profile on an A1 or A1 Mini, even if it was never designed for it.
Thank you and best regards!
You can always turn off support for the A1 and A1 mini and in your description tell people not to print on the A series printers.
@MalcTheOracle: Yes, probably a solution. I have at least removed the A1 and A1 Mini from one profile. I will probably have to look through the other profiles as well.
I simply loaded the standard profiles of the A1 printers and compared them. I realised that I had already changed the X1C to values that deliver a better print result. In some situations, certain lower print speed values simply make more sense. And the acceleration doesn’t have to be 10000 either, I’ve already reduced it in the current project and have just seen that I’m still below the values or exactly at the values of the A1 printers. This means that these settings should also work on an A1, but not on the A1 Mini if the parts on the print bed are too high for the printer or too wide for the print bed.
What I am concerned about is that when I change the printer in Bambu Studio, the print profile is changed to the default profile for that printer.
At the moment it seems to be a mess that a layman can’t cope with. Change the print profile from the designer’s customised print settings to the default profile settings and the print has a good chance of failing. However, the bad rating will be assigned to the designer’s original profile.
The trouble is that we get bad reviews as a result and can’t explain why this is the case.
I still don’t know what to make of it. Because the failure of a print is not attributed to Makerworld or Bambulab, but the designer of the model is held liable. Although the designer is not responsible for the circumstances, as just described.
I don’t yet know what will happen if someone replaces my painstakingly created profiles for the individual parts of a larger model with a standard profile. Details on the model in particular suffer and prints on some of the plates can tend to warp more.
Can we upload print profiles for individual printer models? I’ll have a look around here. Then we can preset the print profile: A1 or A1 Mini and use the customised print profile.
I always thought this was nuts.
We are rated on the print profile we create and share.
Someone changes it, it isn’t what we created anymore.
We are held responsible for their potential issues!
Yes, select the print in the slicer, export it, then upload it and turn off the other printers. You MUST target each printer in the slider individually or you will have the one you wish PKLUS the one you left as the target.
It is a pain, but, they are still one per printer.

If you have a link to the print, I can load it in BS for my A1 Mini.
I don’t have an A1 or an A1 mini, but I was able to look at the profile as if I had one in BS. @MalcTheOracle pointed it out to me. It is easy to see if the designs work for those printers or not on your own computer.
