I’m trying to do something pretty simple. Have a small object and I just want to place some text along 1 side of the surface using the same color filament (I have an A1 with AMS Lite). See image showing what it looks like in the Prepare tab.
This looks Ok. I don’t want to embed this into the surface, I just want the text to sit on top of it with 3 layers (0.6 mm Thickness with 0.2 Layer Height = 3 Layers). Am I not setting this up right?
When I slice it, the Preview tab doesn’t show my text.
Don’t know if the text will print or not. Is this the way it’s supposed to work and even though I have to get to near horizontal view to see any of the text will it actually print?
That text is tiny, you should turn on Quality>Wall generator>arachne if it isn’t on and ‘Strength>detect thin wall’ will likely need to be on. Because otherwise if its not ~0.8mm thick (x/y) it wont print.
The most common cause of “disappearing” text is that it is too small and the lines have become too thin to print. The Classic wall generator tries to print at least two line widths. Arachne can put down one line, of variable width, but even that has a limit, which can leave gaps.
Thanks for the info. Certainly would be nicer if they gave you a warning message if they detected the text was too small and give you some options to resolve. I guess they did something like that since the Preview window didn’t show any text except if you slide over to the side and looked at it basically horizontally. But then you could still see the text but it wouldn’t print (the text looks transparent). Again, they detected the problem, just display a message on screen indicating the problem (like they do for 100’s of other issues) so you were directly aware of the problem. Would also be nice if they opened a Bambu Wiki page on this issue with written descriptions of the problem and ways to resolve.
