VOTE: Feature Request (Suggestions for Improvement)

Folder support on the SD card. The lack of this feature drives me nuts.

I have a couple of suggestions
1 editable folders and support for filament types with sub folders
example: PLA, Generic, Silk, Hyper, Carbon Fiber etc.
Then be able to create multiple variations within said folders for Brand, Temperature, Speed etc. This would help with creating the ability to load only the filament you want per project, filament even within a brand can have different temp requirements, so being able to fine tune individual profiles might help.

Fix the annoying problem that if you download a model and project from MarkersMarket when you go to send said file to the printer and your in LAN only that you get a error message and it fails to upload . So far the only way I’ve found to fix this is taking the printer out of LAN only and connecting your phone. Very Annoying because the error message gives you no clue as to what the problem is. I really don’t want my machine hooked to the cloud.

Add a support that Will put a single layer at the top of supports that is a different material than the rest of the support example: I am printing in PLA and I want support in PLA except for the top layer of the support I want to be in PETG. The benefit is that the print will be faster and less waste.

You can already do that. It’s called interface layer.

But I don’t think the 2 materials will stick together so it might cause an issue with that single layer not adhering to the support.
Thanks for the tip on the interface layer though

Send print to ALL printers…

The latest Beta has Send to Multiple Devices.

Oh… that looks really interesting!
I dont have that beta tho…

Will this feature be included in the next BS update? :space_invader:

Yes, that’s generally how beta’s work.

I would like the printer to verify which build plate is installed before heating the bed

I think it would be best if that was the very first thing the printer does before anything else in the print cycle. Reason: I’ve lost count how many times I’ve sent a print and I had the wrong build plate installed, then I have to change it out and wait for the bed to cool down or re-heat.

I’ve not had this problem myself, but it seems like a good suggestion. If nothing else, maybe it could check after it starts heating up the plate, since it’s doing nothing but wait around then anyway.

It might be that it simply doesn’t know where the top of the build plate is until it does the original homing. If you watch to see the height from which it approaches the z-axis homing, this indeed seems to be the case. And it doesn’t want to do that homing until after the build plate heats up to whatever temperature it’s going to, because it wants the most accurate height of the plate possible while in actual use. That might make it less obvious how to do it then without introducing delays into what is already a long process.

That said, sure go ahead and ask for it.

I’d say that a heated chamber or better air filtration would be nice

Definitely home printhead first.

But the print bed type needs to be checked before heating the bed.

I use the PLA cool plate, but if I download a file, a lot of times it’s already configured as a “Textured PEI Plate” and I forget to change it to the “Cool Plate / PLA Plate”. So, my cool plate gets heated up, I get the notice that plates don’t match, change the plate in the slicer, resend, then have to wait for the plate to cool down before it prints.

I’ve been wondering, what’s the best way to submit something like this?

Ikraus’s advice is usually right.

I solved the issue on the X1 Carbon, in the Nozzle “Machine Start G-code”
Cut:

G28 ;Home
;===== check scanner clarity ===========================
G1 X128 Y128 F24000
G28 Z P0
M972 S5 P0
G1 X230 Y15 F24000
;===== check scanner clarity end =======================

And paste it below:
M204 S10000 ; init ACC set to 10m/s^2

So now the Lidar, plate alignment, plate type are checked and verified before anything else.

Edit: playing around more, you do need a G28 right before the check scanner section. Reason, when the steppers power down, or you power cycle, the system loses track of the print head position.

I want the remote-view functionality in the Bambu Handy iOS app to work with LAN mode. There’s no need for a cloud connection.

I want the LAN mode connection in Bambu Studio to allow things like timelapse video which apparently is only viewable if the printer is in cloud mode.

I want to be able to access and manage the files on the printer’s SD card from within Bambu Studio, rather than with ftp or by removing the SD card from the printer and mounting it on the computer.

I want hardwire gigabit Ethernet, and I realize this is a controller-board swap.

Multi-material printing, instead of multicolour printing.
It would be a game-changing feature, as current hobby-grade tech requires user control.
