What happened?

Bambu Lab Software Bambu Studio
1

Still somewhat a newbie and have never seen this before.

I saw a spool tag in Maker World I liked and loaded it into Bambu Studio. I thought I’d add text to identify the filament type. The tag’s out facing surface was face down and where I wanted the text. I imported my text SVG and reversed it to be printed face down on the first layer. When the tag was spliced it looked good but what happened was the P1S printed two layers of text before the P1S changed filament to white and began printing it’s first layer without encircling walls around the text. The hotend collided with the text and made a mess. I don’t understand how it printed the first two text layers before printing any white. I assumed it would print one layer of text, then print one layer of white but encircling each text before going on the the next layer and repeating.

Without pictures, this is a guess.

It sounds like you added the SVG as a separate object to the main model.

If you do this and then place them together, you will likely get GCODE path conflicts.

This means the head will impact material already laid down because the slicer doesn’t know to only print one thing in one place.

  • Select both models
  • Right-click
  • Select merge
  • Move the text element below the other part in the object panel (left-side of prepare tab)

Try again.

When you merge models, path conflicts disappear as it knows it should use the order of priority set in the object panel.

The items in the object panel gain priority, with those on the bottom having the greatest priority.

Anything on the bottom entry overrides the layer above, all the way back up.

I’m working on a project that requires 6 colors but I can only do 4 and the software doesn’t allow me to use the external along with the AMS Lite. I was able to slice the image I wanted but I could only do it into parts. I wanted to put select parts back but I don’t know how to do that.
