Where is the Draft setting?

Apologies if this is a really stupid Q, but I am making something that requires many real-life adjustments. I therefore don’t want to waste too much time/filament on prototypes and wanted to use what I’m SURE I had on the P2S but which I can’t find on the X2D - Draft mode.

X2D with either any plate (standard PEI textured / Cool Tack / Enginering) using the hardened 0.4mm nozzles (& standard BL PLA as filament).

I have a range of 0.08mm/0.12/0.16/0.22/0.24 but all either “standard” or “high quality” dropdowns, no other options.

No draft mode anywhere. Did BL remove it in an update?

I can probably reduce time by waiting for it to complete the first 2 layers and then going into “ludicrous speed” but this will still use the same amount of filament.

The second option is better which is to find the parameters for 0.24mm Draft Quality and manually inputting them, then saving it as my own preset. Problem is I can’t find those listed anywhere.

Is there a simple setting I’m missing or is it no longer available?

(P.S - also can’t access the object config as it says it’s not available (immediate right of the advanced toggle))

I just checked GitHub: The “Draft profile” and “Exta Draft profile” option is no longer available for new printers. It was only available on older models like the P1, X1 and A1.

In case you need the profiles again for comparison:

On the X2, the standard profile is almost identical to the draft profile. You’d probably be surprised at how little the profiles differ - I just did the comparison:

  • Some values are even faster in: “0.24mm Standard X2D”

You’re right. It seems they tweaked the standard settings but they ended up close enough to draft that they just removed it.

What I’m currently doing is printing using the 0.24mm setting and reducing it to 2 walls and 5% infill for a quicker print whilst retaining it’s shape. If it’s a bigger model I cut-out what I need (using BambuStudio cut tool) and print that alone. Was hoping I could just click a button instead but fair enough…
