Is this a bug? There is plenty of spacing and they are within the max height. The error message goes away when the left object moved out of plate.
The slicer thinks that the left model will hit the x-axis gantry when itâs printing the two on the right, thatâs why you are getting the error that itâs too high.

If you press âCtrlâ + âEâ it will show you the sequence the parts will print in. This can help when laying out parts that are taller. You can reorder the print sequence by dragging them around in the object tab.
The wiki has a good page about using this feature that explains it well.
Depending on how large of diameter your parts are if you put them in the extreme corners you can get them to work.

Ctrl E is a cool tip, thanks, but it didnât solve the issue. Doesnât the outer gray line represent extruder_clearance_max_radius? I forgot to mention itâs vase mode, maybe it has something to do with the error.
You have to get the outer circles onto the build plate completely & so they donât touch.
Sometimes itâs a PITA.
I scaled the cylinders to the same size as your parts and I couldnât get them situated any way that worked for 3 parts. I think you are limited to 2 parts in this situation.
Iâve been able to successfully slice/print parts with the out circles outside of the build plate.

I donât know about that, I have printed objects max radius clearance outside of build plate.
Removing the left one resolves the issue.
Thank you for confirming it. It would be nice to be able to get more prints on the plate.
Iâm calling this a bug, hopefully the dev team will get to it eventually.
Iâve only tried it twice with the A1 Mini & itâs the only way I could get it to sliceâŚdunno
Optimally position objects can be quite complicated. bbl does not have software guys who are capable, or interested enough to solve the problem. They have taken a simple, safe approach that works good enough for most users. A smaller print head would allow more objects, so items on plates would need to be arranged for different printers, as an example.
I am struggling with this as well. I would really like to upload my Single Extruder - TRIPLE Color - Sleepy Cat model to MakerWorld as well but I am struggling to create a convenient print profile. For now I just printed one after the other but that will create 5 print plates! But with AMS you should be able to fit it on two. Especially for the cat (3 pieces) I want it on just one plate, printing in sequence. It gives me a height error (see screenshot), but as far as I can tell the gantry only moves backwards relative to the print plate and should cause NO collisions. Has anybody found a fix for this? On my other printers I can just ignore these warnings because Iâm smarter than the software, is there a fix for this bug or a setting that basically tells BBL to âhave a go at it anywayâ?
Thanks in advance!
Try rotating the objects so the fat side points down on 1 & 2.
I have tried every possible rotation and configuration and as long as one model is higher than the gantry BS just wonât have it while it is perfectly possible to print it. Your suggestion makes them overlap even more in the gantry direction but the error remains the same:
It is a shame that the software is incapable of simulating the gantry movement since some very funky print plates could be possible. For instance my chess set (here printed on a printer that accepts user freedom to do whatever they want):
I hope BBL will update the software to make sequence printing a lot better or at least an override warning option (or did I miss that one?). If anyone is able to create a plate or solution for the sleepy cat model it would be very much appreciated!
Thatâs fat side up, I posted fat side down.
But you said you already tried everything, so I guess it doesnât matter.
I assume you have the tallest piece in the back�?

Can you upload the .3mf you are working with for this model?
Here it is! I have tried twisting it around in all directions but I think it is just too conservative. The grey area is also the room needed for the print head, which is taken into account twice in-between models. And the settings (non adjustable for BambuLab printers) use the ârod heightâ as a plane instead of the actual rod. These settings are greyed out, so even being able to adjust these will solve my problem.
Hope the 3mf helps

The .3mf is helpful.
The issue is that all 3 items are above the cutoff. With the size of each item, they canât be positioned without interference.
Your option is to either shrink the models so that at least one is below the height limit or print with only 2 on the plate.
I would agree that this is the order I would print them as well but with each item over the height limit it just isnât possible.
Moving the Black part to the rear so the white part doesnât interfere doesnât clear this issue.
This is the viable option.

Thanks for reviewing the 3mf!
âWith the size of each item, they canât be positioned without interference.â
The issue is that there is âslicer interferenceâ, but there wouldnât be any interference in the real world. So the issue is not that it wouldnât fit or wouldnât work, but that Bambu Studio just doesnât want to. It works with extreme global safety margins that are not adjustable or ignorable. Iâm new to the Bambu ecosystem, are there other slicers that give you more freedom but are still able to work with A1 and AMS and create MakerWorld compatible/sharable 3mf files?
And @lion7718 that would indeed work with the right spacing on the A1, but Bambu Studio just wonât let me⌠
