However, this is not updating the selection on the printer itself when changing the filament in the AMS.
The presets there are still saved under Generic → PLA.
How can I update/move thos in my printer?
Do I need to re-do calibration to store them there?
How do I clean up the old ones in Generic → PLA?
I am not getting this to work either. Release notes mentions this… “Also, custom filaments could be chosen on X1 and X1C printers, and start printing as system filaments. The functionality will be available after the firmware update to version 1.6.6 (public beta version, will come out soon)”
But I am already on 01.07.01.00 on my X1C. Formatting on firmware version is not matching, so I am confused.
Quick note - I had the same issue. I can create custom filaments and they exist in Studio but not on the printer.
From all the research - the situation is as follows:
You must be in Cloud mode. Not LAN mode.
Auto-Sync User Presets must be enabled in Studio preferences
Studio sync’s filament presets with the Cloud.
The printer is supposed to sync filament presets with the Cloud as well - but IT DOESN’T
Solution (that worked for me):
Disconnect the printer from your user-account
(a) on the printer console, go to settings (hexagon “nut” icon)
(b) click on account
(c) click on log-out (select YES when prompted, to confirm the action)
(d) check on bambu-handy app, under devices, that your printer is no longer there
Reconnect the printer to your user-account
(a) on the printer console, after you log-out, a QR code will pop up automatically
(b) on the bambu-handy app, under devices, you will see a button “+ Bind Printer”: select it
(c) scan the QR code on the printer display
(d) printer will appear, and a button “Confirm To Bind”
You’re done!
if binding was not successful, repeat steps 2 (a)-(d)
Let me know if this doesn’t work. It solved the problem for me, and now I can see all my custom filament profiles on the printer display, as well as select them from the Device tab in Studio.
I did this yesterday, and today it’s still working fine!
This worked for me, once. The fix lasted until I had to power down the printer to change hotends. When it came back online the custom filament settings were no longer available and repeating this process didn’t help.
I have the same problem on my P1P, does anyone know, how this bug can be fixed? The solution above worked one time, now the custom filamtents are gone again and the workaround doesn’t work anymore.
i know that this comment isn’t going to be helpful but fwiw my custom filaments mysteriously started showing up again a couple days ago. not sure why. i didn’t update anything (unless the firmware autoupdated?) or restart the printer.
actually, one thing that does correlate: i swapped out some of the spools in my ams, including one that had a custom filament associated with it. a bambu spool took its place. once the ams finished detecting the new spools, i noticed that i was able to select my custom filament settings again.
If you changed hot-ends, to a different size orifice - for example from .4 to .6, and you reconfigured your printer accordingly, the filament data is not “gone”. it is still there, but it’s not applicable to the 0.6mm nozzle.
the way the printer stores filament data is in a kind of a heirarchial order to this:
Filament Brand #1
—> Filament Type A
--------->Printer Configuration 0.2mm Nozzle
---------------> Filament Brand/Type/Profile/Settings for 0.2mm nozzle
—> Filament Type B
--------->Printer Configuration 0.4mm Nozzle
---------------> Filament Brand/Type/Profile/Settings for 0.4mm nozzle
…etc
If you created a profile for 0.4mm, and then swap to 0.6mm nozzle, and there is no profile for that filament yet for that nozzle, then you will “not see the filament”. You have to create a profile for each nozzle size/type - and of course it is recommended to run through calibration for each nozzle size/type - because calibration settings would not be the same between different size nozzles…
when you create the new profile for a new nozzle, in the creation process you have the option to “re-use” the profile settings from the other size that you already may have - which speeds up the process…
Here is an example in my profiles for:
3dPRINTING brand → PETG → Different settings
For Orcaslicer users, check your Network preferences (Ctrl+P) and make sure Stealth Mode is not selected.
With Stealth Mode on, the filaments will never sync to your AMS.
How can I clone filament profiles to a custom printer configuration? Because I am using the Biqu Panda Revo hotend and some tweaked Z offsets and purge lines, I never use any of the default printer configs. The menu only seems to show system defaults, with the exception of one profile I’m not sure the origin of.
