Hello all, I’ve had a look and I can’t find anyone talk about an issue I have.
I recently had someone print part of my silhouette lamp that is quite tall with delicate legs. They had the part snap and commented about the issue (very politely) however it seems they used a A1 whereas I tested and printed on my P1S. I think the legs snapped because the bed slinger is putting more stress on the legs/ wobbling them while printing. (Also they used silk pla that I think it’s also brittle so doesn’t help thing)
I assume if you slice something in Bambu studio for a P1S it’s automatically marks it as ok for the A1 when uploaded to maker world due to the same bed size?
So my question is, is there a way to remove the A1 tag on the print profile I created? Or make as no compatible?
I don’t want others to waste filament if it doesn’t work for the A1.
Create a separate profile named ‘for A1’ (and possibly ‘A1 Mini’ if it fits). Adjust settings to reduce print speed, add brims, include custom supports, etc.
Add a prominent red warning at the top of your description to discourage printing this on a bed slinger.
I printed a model from a well know designer that was more delicate than their normal designs.
It worked perfectly for him on his X1C and his profile automatically included the A1. I tried to print it on my A1 and A1 mini and nothing worked.
I reached out to him and we tried multiple ways to find a solution, we were unsuccessful. The way the bed-slinger works meant the constant shaking lifted the design from the build-plate during the print.
It works fine on my P1S.
You cannot remove the A1 as the slicing software only considers outer volume as the compatibility factor.
If your model would work better with additional support on the bed slingers, you could add one with a more robust set of supports and promote it towards A1 users specifically. It will also work on the P & X series printers.
Some designers do this as a matter of course with their more delicate models, not just because of the bed slinger related factor, but, for some less well-tuned printers.
I think there should be a better way to handle these cases in MW directly. I mean would be great to have a selection (on print profile setup) where author can select/deselect printers model compatibile (or even really tested).
Something like a list of printer models with three checkbox: Compatible / Tested / Not sure.
Then you can mark Compatible the printers you think could handle the print, Tested those you really tried, Not sure those you have some concerns the print could fail.
Thanks @Uhl@michelem@MalcTheOracle for your thoughts! good to see I didn’t miss anything. I will try to do some of the work arounds but as @michelem seems like it would be a good thing to implement when setting up the profiles.
@Foxwood@MalcTheOracle
A way to solve the problem for this kind of models is lower the acceleration.
Such as descreasing it from 6000mm/s2 to 2000mm/s2.
Foxwood Lamp@Tanklet Here is my model. I assumed slowing it down to work not the A1 would also slow the print for people using P1 / XC printers? I appreciate your feedback but seems like bit of a work around still. Is it not possible in the future to have separate print profiles or the A1 if the model maker wants to ? Then we can optimise the profile for each ? I know in 90% of models the same profile will work for both but that 10% can still be a lot of failed prints.
