Quick background. I’ve been printing for a couple years, have two other printers and helped many people tune theirs. I’ve used Cura, PrusaSlicer and SuperSlicer.
1st. I have a model I’m trying to print that has a separate model available that is a premade support. In PS I can right click on the main part, select add modifier and select the file that is the support. PS automatically aligns the two parts and then all I have to do is select supports:”modifiers only” and it prints that premade support. I cannot figure this out in BS for the life of me.
2nd. I have a different model that I am printing in a generic PLA pro(plus/tough) and it has two thin towers on each side, at about the same place the printer ends up snapping off the tower and I have a failed print. I’ve tried it twice and it’s broken it off in two different places. I would like to add a brim to just these towers as the rest of the model doesn’t require them but there is no way to, once I add a modifier, add a brim for only the towers, or remove it for the main part.
There is also not an option to add a tab to the corners of square models to prevent warping without doing a whole brim.
How would I go about requesting that Babmbu add these features?
I’m using the cold plate as the printer/slicer keeps telling I can’t use the engineering plate for PLA even if I use glue stick.
You can post new feature requests here.
Bambu Studio is based on PrusaSlicer. As Prusa adds features, Bambu will pick them up. I too would like what you’re asking for, but in the meantime, check out Stop Using Brims, Do This Instead - YouTube
PS already has the support modifier feature and it works great. In BS I can add a modifier but it still tried to support the supports instead of recognizing the supports are already doing their job.
Yes, there is a “Disc” primitive that you can scale to however wide you want it, and then set its height to the layer height you’re using. I.E. 0.2 for a standard print. I find it best to create a PacMan disc in a modeling program (A disc with a square taken out of it) and “merge” (Used to be assembly) it into your model. All assume you have 90° corners. Set the top and bottom fill to these as concentric, and in essence you have "Tabs.
