Hello, new user here… I just created an account to say ALL of this is sooooo confusing to me! !
I expected the whole filament ‘management’ to be explained at for example wiki.bambulab. com/en/bambu-studio/create-filament (I’m not allowed to post links) but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Please, please, please update it to show how we are expected to manage our collection of filament rolls.
If I have, for example, 20 rolls of filaments from non-standard brands in different colours, do I need to create 20 different user profiles? For every nozzle size? For different temperatures/speeds? And again after every calibration? I don’t understand.
I just managed to create a “Giantarm PLA Silk” custom filament, based on a ‘Generic’ filament, but now it shows up multiple times with the printer name and different nozzle sizes attached to the name? Under this custom filament I now have to create various ‘user profiles’ that then appear as well? After I (re)calibrate the filament to add a ‘Factor K’ and then a ‘Flow ratio’ it again asks to create new profiles? I can edit (but not rename?) some profiles, can delete some profiles, but other profiles seem so be ‘master’ profiles on which others depend so they can’t be deleted?
And then there is the ‘Device’ tab under which, I assume, the AMS is linked, which is different from the AMS settings under the ‘Prepare tab’? I have to sync them? Or resync them? Why is there a difference between sync and resync? Under the Device-AMS settings I can select ‘Factors of Flow Dynamics Calibration PA Profiles’ (but not edit the Factor K manually, it’s greyed out)… But settings don’t save, and/or don’t sync, or they simply change with those under the ‘Prepare’ tab.
It’s obvious that I’m very confused and frustrated, and can’t even clearly explain the many many questions I have about all of this, and I’m sorry to say, but all this is a confusing mess in Bambu Studio.
Maybe it’s best if I keep a record of all my filaments and settings in a Word document, and only buy filaments from brands that Bambu Studio knows?
Please update the wiki with the workflow (new) users should follow to manage their (dozens of) filaments…
