Like I said before, it’s not because you put 0.16mm first layer height that it won’t work at all, I said it will cause MORE problems with bed adhesion.
Yes and i said fow me it caused less problems. Before switching to 0.16 i needed to use glue on my bed since switching i no longer need glue.
I just let you read this again. For information, 0.16mm doesn’t work well on PEI bed, and now most BBL printers use PEI bed.
Oh my goy yes i know but as I’ve said im only capable of testing what works for me what should i do higher a 1000 people to help me test my prints?
0.16 works perfectly well on my PEI plates, thats what i have on both my printers and as say for the 3rd time i am only capable of test what works for me.
If there is a issue with my profile im ok with a bad review and will always ask for a reason and try to help fix it but im talking about bad reviews on models that have plenty of good reviews (with photos) then one person giving a 1 star because they cant get it to stick

“Nip round” - now that would be very kind of you, we’ll get the tea and cakes out for you.
Unlikely to happen though, given that I live in Scotland. I think you protest too much anyway. I doubt that I’m alone in appreciating the variety of files found on the likes of MakerWorld, but it is frustrating when they don’t work. Especially so after printing for maybe 12 hours before a part falls off the plate and wastes the whole lot. Surely it’s not asking too much for you to consider the implications of widely distributing a file and adding a few safeguards to address some of the potential pitfalls others may encounter. Whether that be down to their ignorance or machine variables etc.
I fully accept that you may well know your own machine(s) and have been able to tweak them using your vast experience, but just maybe those tweaks cause problems elsewhere.

Normally i would agree with you but these printers have had zero “tweaks” thats the beauty of bambu i have done literally nothing to the actual machines and very little to the profiles.
Also my files are really quite simple so dont really need any “safeguards”.
And again i have no issues with working with people if they have a issue (quite often i will end up uploading another profile with the print re orientated or flipped just to help people out) its when everyone else can print it fine and then one person can’t and suddenly its my fault their bed isn’t cleaned properly or they haven’t made sure the correct plate is selected before sending it to the printer.
OK that’ll do for me. I take your point(s) and hopefully I’ll learn really quick.

What firmware issue?
Theres a issue on some of the printers with the newest firmware 01.07.01.00 some are having issues like me lidar and z-offset, some aren’t having issues. The reason some have the issues and some do not is there are different components in the printers dending on when and where it was manufactured requiring diffrenting programming but has the same firmware version “name/number”.
I had someone rate a model at 3 stars because his AMS failed to pull filament after the print completed. None of my models use AMS, because I don’t have one. How is that the fault of the model or profile?
I really don’t care, because I share models to help the community, not to get ratings. It’s just crazy that some people always have to blame someone else for any issues they have

I had a 2 star rating taken down because after a short back/forth with the person rating, he agreed that it was an adhesion issue and the design of the model was fine. I asked him to change his rating, he said he would, but then never did.

Can you be more specific about what parts that are causing trouble? And how many different locations of manufacturing plants there is for making Bambu lab products and parts.

No not at all.
Well that is just unrealistic. 3D printing is a technical hobby and you will always have to do at least some work on the printer, regardless of how good or easy to use the printer is.
That says more about you than the printer or files. I have had very few failures and it is rare if a print fails at all, both technical parts I have designed and decorative pieces found online or on makerworld.
Depending on the plate you may have to do more than just clean it. All of the BL plates other than the textured plate are recommended to use either the glue stick or liquid glue, if you aren’t using those then you really can’t complain.
The only obligation from the designer is to provide the files, it is not their job to teach you how to use your printer, there is a full wiki and loads of information online and on YouTube about how to 3D print or use your printer. Most people who design models don’t want to babysit beginners who are having trouble. You bought the printer, it is up to you to learn how to use it. You expect the designers to take time to teach or help you, yet you won’t spend the time yourself to learn how to use it, why?
It’s just another online repository, the quality will vary but if multiple parts fail first time or don’t stick to the bed then the issue is unlikely to be the model. The only times it would be the models fault is if the geometry is impossible to print.
A lot of the issues you are complaining about don’t seem to be due to the model (especially if it is happening on most models) and are more likely to do with your use of the printer. The only one responsible for teaching you how to use the printer is you, all the information is there provided in the wiki and there is lots more on YouTube and online and there are forums incase you are really stuck, although you should avoid them if possible because they get spammed with simple beginner issues.

That is just false. There is no reason that having a first layer height of 0.16 mm would inherently cause issues.

This is true, you can check other forum for more information.
This is also why BBL changed the default settings in BambuSlicer, now all default settings use 0.2mm as the first layer line.
But maybe all BBL engineer and other 3d printer maker are wrong and you are right, I still waiting for your explanation and proof.
*Same for Orca slicer and Prusa slicer
what about the people that have been printing with a first layer height of 0.16 for years now, either on a Bambu or not. Just because Bambu says to do it doesn’t make it so. So, where’s your proof that it’s any better other than the opinions of a engineering department that can’t even get a firmware release out correctly. I bet this is your first printer.

It’s not true at all, stop telling fairy tales.
The reason for the problems is that the Z-offset changed for many people with the latest firmware update.

I never said that 0.16mm does not work at all, I said that 0.2mm is more reliable for bed adhesion than 0.16mm, especially for textured PEI.
It’s not only BBL, but also Prusa and Creality that changed their first layer to 0.2mm.
If big tech company did it, it’s for a reason, and I’m still waiting for an argument/proof about 0.16mm is better than 0.2mm for first layer. At this time, all experience indicates that 0.2mm is better than 0.16mm for bed adhesion.

I just got my X1C a few weeks ago. The Bambu PLA default filament temp for the cool plate is 35c…if I leave it at that, the prints will fail almost every time with adhesion issues even with a fresh clean and glue. I raise it to 50, Ive never had a failure. I wish they’d up the default slightly, and that would help them maintain their ‘beginner friendly’ image.
