it seems to be messing with my z-offset and I would like to analyze it. thank you
yes for a normal file that would be correct but I’m wanting to know how to view the g-code for the ‘flow rate calibration’
The automatic Studio calibration sends an archived file to the printer. On my X1C, I can find it in the SDcard root directory as flow_rate_coarse_calib_mode.gcode.3mf. You can start the calibration and immediately cancel the print once it has been sent.
This archive can be opened with any archive utility (Winrar, Winzip, 7Zip, etc.). The actual g-code file is flow_rate_coarse_calib_mode.gcode.3mf\Metadata\plate_1.gcode
If you want to fine tune your flow rate, a better option is to do it manually. Enable Develop mode in Preferences, and run the flow test from the top line Calibration menu, then save the result in the filament preset.
Z-offset is pretty much automatic with the Bambu printers. It is compensated a bit (automatically) for a textured plate, but generally there is no need to mess with the default setting. If you think it is wrong, you probably need to adjust some other factor.

that’s in orca… bambu isn’t set up like that unfortunately
Hmm ok maybe the two softwares have finally diverged enough that I need to stop giving software advice, lol. If the new bambu machines/software have some sort of 1-touch calibrate, you may need to dig it out like what Ikraus said.

ok I found the file on the USB stick after running it on the printer… then I was able to move it over to my computer where I moved it over to the ‘downloads’ folder and tried to open with winrar but can’t seem to get it working. can you give more instructions on what I need to do here?
