I have read everything I can find and I have tried over and over again but I am still having issues getting presets to stay. I use a variety of brands of filaments. Sunlu, Elegoo, Overture, etc. etc. I can create them and they show up. I recently started to print things to sell so I would like the price if my filament to be set in my presets so I know how much each print costs to print. My issue is that each one tries to change the price of the next one. I can set one to a certain price, but then when I open another filament, it automatically changes the price of that one to the previously made one. Does anyone have a simple way to create and save multiple custom presets? And maybe explain it so a carpenter can understand it instead of an attorney.
You dont create presets, you create custom filaments.
Click the gear cog on the filament menu and on the filament pop-up you to to CUSTOM FILAMENTS
From there you will have the ability to set prices for each and every one of them and they wont change
Hi, that is where I go. I can set the price and change anything I want and it seems to work. I had 5 or 6 complete, or so I thought. I started to notice my cost after slicing seemed higher. When I went back in, the price had changed. I know its not the software, its something I’m doing wrong.
I don’t have an AMS, don’t print from Handy, never found a reason why Custom Filaments even exist.
I set the cost of filament by editing my User filament preset:
I have 3 AMS’s so far. I like the custom presets because I can have the brand and color as the preset. Especially when I change out a filament in one of the AMS’s.
So, you can choose something descriptive, like PLA Sunlu White HiSpd?
Apparently you can
Ha, point taken. So you change PLA Generic to PLA Sunlu White HiSpd? But once you change that basic user presets, is it now just called that and not available anymore? Another way to put it is, say you want to add a PLA Sunlu Green HiSpd. Is another PLA Generic there or is it gone now because you changed it once already?
The Bambu and Generic filaments remain as System presets. When you edit them you are required to save them with a new name, and they become User Presets.
That is really good to know, thank you for that. I now see your other point about why customs exist. Seems like the same thing to me.
I think Custom presets may be useful for printing from MakerWorld via Handy. Bambu never really explained why they introduced them, but Custom presets did appear at the same time as MakerWorld.
I just don’t understand why such a complex system is needed. If Bambu was trying to let use our own settings for models sliced in the MakerWorld cloud, why not employ the User settings we already sync through that cloud?
