I’m pretty new to the 3d printing world (got my P1s earlier this month).
For some reason when I print from the Bambu Handy the estimated print times are between 50% to 100% longer than when I start the same model and the same profile from the Bambu Studio. I found an older topic about this and checked all the settings (Print speed is on 100% standard in both BH and BS). I also have a feeling, and this is not something I recorded, is that even the same prints that were started from BH in the beginning show higher estimates.
I haven’t really tested out the actual print times if they are different, because I also notice that the estimated printing times (those in the slicer and on the printer itself) are usually way off and the prints usually take much longer. Is the time on the printer the estimate from the software? (so from either the BH or BS) Or does it calculate it’s own time?
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards,
Eef

An example model link or two would help confirm my theory, but until then you get the theory only.
When designers (like me) create the models, we upload them with one or more print profiles.
It is the print profile which dictates the type of printer and all related settings required to achieve the end result.
Until a few months ago, a lot of print profiles were created for the A1 mini as the base as it was the only printer profile that also worked on every other printer.
However, the A1 mini is slow per than all other printers except for a few scenarios it can beat its bigger brothers. That is a discussion for a diff day (I have written about it often, not looking for a link right now).
If you use Bambu Handy, it would use the profile information given, that may be A1 mini based and as such, slower. Not as slow as you indicated, but, slower.
If you download it and open in Bambu Studio, you would immediately select the printer you own, the P1S which would then resource using those parameters which are faster.
Newer print profiles automatically slice base on a suggestion I made a few months ago and generate the correct targeted profile. This would normally mean using Bambu Handy vs Bambu Slicer would result in similar durations.
Again, this is a theory (read guess) as no links have been supplied to determine any other causes.
Hi Malc,
Thank you for your reply. For example https://makerworld.com/en/models/850870?from=search#profileId-798812
The pink one is started from the Bambu Handy, by selecting the P1S as print profile (but I believe it’s just one profile for all the printers), the yellow one is started from the Bambu Studio, also by selecting the P1S as print profile. Don’t know why it says Gcode with that one, maybe that has something to do with it? I don’t know, if I changed anything about that without knowing about it, don’t think I have.
The only differences between those 2 prints is the starting application (BH and BS) and the filament, red is basic PLA, yellow is Silk, which prints at a slower speed even. But even if I change it to red in BS it still shows these absurd time differences.
Hope this helps? If you need anymore info, I’m happy to supply it
Hi, I’m the same as you. Before, everything was almost accurate to the times marked on the profiles, and now everything increases in time by 50% or more.
