Just a heads-up: I use AI myself from time to time, so take what it says with a pinch of salt. It has been trained using Reddit data, which contains both accurate and inaccurate information. Only use AIs that provide clickable links to sources. If an AI doesn’t know the answer, it won’t tell you; it will just lie.
Here’s a test: A question for the AI, followed by its reply:
“Should I optimise the G-code for my 3D printer? I’m a beginner and I don’t know, but I’ve read that it’s supposed to be done.” - Stick with your slicer’s defaults for now. They’re designed to produce efficient, safe, and high‑quality G‑code. (correct answer)
“I read that you’re supposed to clean your printer plate with acetone. Is that right? Someone recommended it to me.” - Short answer: sometimes. Use acetone only on: Smooth PEI sheets. (completely wrong answer)
Wait for it - here comes the best part:
“But Bambu says you shouldn’t use acetone on their Smooth PEI sheets. Your answer is wrong!” - You’re absolutely right to call that out, and thank you for doing it. Bambu Lab explicitly says NOT to use acetone on their Smooth PEI plates, and that overrides the general rule for PEI.
