I’ve made a somewhat large project, and is divided e 4 categories, each one of them has their own profile. 
in other words, I have 4 3mf files.
Which profile should I choose? That “project” tab on bambu studio should help… Just check the project I’ve made and you will understand:

Thanks, and BTW very nice forum, like it a lot!
You can have different settings for each part.
I do not know if it works to automatically set the different settings while importing multiple 3mf files. Worst case, you have to change if by hand.
As far as I know there might be a problem with the wipe tower, so if you use multiple materials, if you use different layer heights. But other than that it works quite well.
Sadly, you only get to specify one profile for the project. You can individually change settings for objects which is a pain. I submitted a request months ago to allow setting profiles per plate. To use the project as a true project file, I believe that it is essential to set printer, filament and process profiles per plate. Imagine a project that uses one set of profiles for the structural parts and different profiles and filament types for non-structural detailed parts. It feels like the had the idea for multiple plates, but never finished implementing it.
This falls into the same category as the “print all” choice under the print button. Again, not implemented.
Just chiming in while searching for this. Looks like I’ll have to maintain multiple “project” files for my project. I’m at 7 plates and counting. Different materials per plate, with different settings. Setting a profile for the plate (or a logical group of parts?) makes sense. Some should start with the strength profile, others just need draft and some tweaks, etc. Settings speeds per-object is NOT a good time.
What’s more, I plan on picking up a second printer before the year is up. It seems to make the most sense to put out a job by plate. Since even the print dialog could show printers which aren’t busy and have the materials necessary. Separate project files also make the “assembly view” a bit useless.
If not implementing this, maybe allow the plate “lock” to lock the settings of the part, as well. Then I could change the global profile and simply “drill down” to unlock what I need to edit.
@zarthcode You just hit my problem. I have a project with over 20 plates.
I think the implementation of a project is incomplete unless each plate can have its own profiles set.
That’s it
I will ask bambu labs.
I have already submitted a pretty detailed feature request at Add better support for managing settings applied by scope · Issue #1838 · bambulab/BambuStudio · GitHub. Please add your thoughts. I am tired of creating multiple projects for what is really a single project.
Another problem with having more than a few plates is that they are all visible in prepare. Prepare needs to have a plate list and let you hide most of the plates similar to preview.
Ich habe einen Projekt mit 6 Platten. Auf manchen Platten gibt es mehrere Druckteile. Jedes Druckteil kann seine eigenen Einstellungen haben, wie: Druckgeschwindigkeit, Schichthöhe, verwendetes Filament, Einstellungend der Modifizierer usw. Die Ausgangswerte für die Einstellungen jedes einzelnen Teils sind die globalen Projekteinstellungen. Die hirarchische Darstellung des Projekts hilft hier, jedes einzelne Teil zu selektieren und einzustellen.
Es werden alle 6 Platten auf einmal angezeigt, wobei ich zu jeder Platte springen und zoomen kann.
Alles in einer 3mf-Datei. Ich finde das ziemlich perfekt.
For parts that are the same material, with somewhat similar settings, Yes, it works especially if the main variation is for the sake of color printing.
But I’m working with engineering parts within a complex mechanical design. That means parts of different size, material, and required. Huge enclosures that consume an entire plateb only need to be printed at draft quality, parts with extremely fine details and features need extra fine quality, while others benefit most starting from a strength profile. Altering the individual setting of many, many parts is prone to mistakes at best and impossibly tedious at its worst. Being able to create a logical group of objects and assign profile will clear that gap.
The beauty of using a profile is that once it is verified working and correct, I can save it and reapply it when I need. But they aren’t useful if I can’t apply them exactly where I need them.
Es muss nicht jedes Objekt mühselig einzeln eingestellt werden. Machen Sie es sich einfacher:
Verwenden Sie ein Objekt als Beispielobjekt. Stellen Sie dieses Objekt im Detail ein, wie Sie es für den Druck benötigen.
Wenn Sie nun ein Objekt haben, dass diese Einstellungen erhalten soll, “vererben” Sie diese einfach:
Kopieren Sie das Objekt, indem Sie es vervielfachen. Wählen Sie dazu das Objekt mit der linken Maustaste aus, das es das aktive Objekt ist. Gehen Sie mit der rechten Maustaste auf das Objekt und wählen Sie im Kontextmenü “duplizieren”. Stellen Sie die gwünschte Anzahl Kopien ein.
Wählen Sie eine Kopie des Objekts und öffnen Sie mit der rechten Maustaste wieder das Kontextmenü. Wählen Sie daraus aus: durch STL ersetzen.
Das STL-File wird geladen und erbt alle Einstellungen.
Obwohl man sicher auch mit Gruppen arbeiten könnte, ist dies jedoch eine Lösung, die ohne Änderung der Software auskommt und schon zur Verfügung steht. Auf diese Weise Sparen Sie Arbeit.
Freut mich, wenn ich helfen konnte.
Viel Spaß beim Drucken!
That’s the issue. I can’t. If I choose one of my presets, such “0.24mm draft @BBL X1C”, or my own “0.20mm XY-complaint mechanism” profile, other settings on other objects will be affected. Profiles aren’t available anywhere but globally.
Many options, like “first layer line width”, aren’t available per-object at all - only globally. Once I need to tweak a global-only variable, I have no choice but to start a new project file, even if I were willing to manually adjust one object and clone and switch the STL. Global-only settings apply to ALL plates.
Ja, nicht 100% aller Einstellungen sind für jedes Objekt einzeln verfügbar. Manche sind nur global verfügbar. Weiß jemand warum? Ich leider auch nicht. Obwohl mir das auch aufgefallen ist, so betrifft das doch Einstellungen, die ich nicht unbedingt pro Objekt ändern muss. Globale Einstellungen pro Druckbett gibt es leider nicht. Vielleicht wird das noch in der Software geändert.
Viele Grüße!
I presume that you could create each profile and export the g-code and then merge the various profiles together to make an all embracing g-code file. You would insert pauses between each plate to remove and clean the plate as necessary. I don’t see why that wouldn’t work, unless there is a maximum file size and you exceed it. I do like your request for a profile per plate.
As this topic is 7 months old, I don’t know how it was back then. But as of now, you can have multiple print profiles for your models. I actually just uploaded a new one last night with 5 profiles to keep everything organized and easy to find for people.
