Hi there,
I have a small problem while printing that pretty often appears while printing parts where you shift from a bigger surface/partnof the print to smaller poles and things like this.
It looks like something between an layer shift and elephant foot for a specific area and layers.
Next strange thing is that it tend being only in one area of the prints
Maybe someone had that problem and know about a solution.

Are you getting that on another model of the same height (i.e. tall cylinder?) If so, there’s something fouling the z-axis. If not, then it’s likely the bulge one gets when a top-surface meets a vertical wall. Take a gander in preview mode at that layer and see if the top layer surface is extending all the way out to the outer wall somehow.
edit: funny enough, one of my prints this afternoon just had the same issue. Anyways, it’s very likely the infamous wall bulge (https://forum.prusa3d.com/forum/prusaslicer/mitigate-wall-bulge/) Of which there doesn’t seem to be a single solution other than use Cura or try things like slowing down the outer perimeter.
It isn’t fixed to a specific height. If the smaller part would start 20mm higher it would be at the same section.
But yeah it looks line „wall bulge“ exactly the term I was looking for.
As I see this is a problem on many slicers.
At least a good sign that it isn’t something mechanical (not that this would be a problem… I like problems I can fix with a hammer…).
Looks like I have to play with my settings
Yes I notice the same issue and have been thinking about it too - wondering if there’s a solution to this. Feels like the slicer should have a compensation setting to counter this.
Annoyingly this is a problem that seems to have carried over from Prusa slicer.
Just had this issue today on a similar print. I then proceeded to spend the next 3-4 hours researching only to find no universal solution or guaranteed solution. It’s dead end!
Looking at the history it seems be a largely acknowledge problem by the community, but completely ignored by the Devs.
I’m new to Bambu studio, but does Bambu studio usually look to address printing flaws? Or do they just like creating new features? I’m not sure what their development philosophy is like.

The current version of prusa slicer has fixed this issue, Hoping Bambu syncs code base to pass that along. Prusa solved it over a year ago.
