Bambu Studio | Print More Efficiently Using Print Sequencing

[@thegrumpygamer3081]

Already knew about the print sequence, but that merge tip was a great one, thank you.

[@abandonedbrain]

Yup, totally learned a new trick tonight! I was all, "I know this already, it's 'By Object'" but I'm glad I finished the video!

[@dimitarborisov]

I had to pause this video because my A1 mini just arrived ... Now I cant take the smile off my face because of this and because I found this channel!

[@-_-._.-.]

Congrats! Happy printing!

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

That's Awesome. I hope my vids help out. Best of luck with your new printer!

[@dimitarborisov]

@@ItsMeaDMaDe Bambu Slicer is a very confusing for me right now, but ill start with your tutorials playlist and hope for the best :)

[@NormanRea]

I am brand new to everything. I am unboxing my first Bambu printer this weekend. These tutorials are amazing....thank you so much. It gives me more confidence in what I will be learning, doing and getting addicted to....lol.

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

Welcome to the hobby. Im glad im able to help! Addiction in inevitable. 🤣

[@seanobrien7169]

At a point where I am seriously considering jumping into the Bambu ecosystem this video was an eye opener. I'm sitting here drifting off thinking of the possibilities. Thank you. Though my wife may end up cursing you! 😂

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

Ha ha. Well I know I have made many spouses annoyed with me convincing their significant other to get a printer or get another 🤣

Years ago when 3D printing was newer and much more hands-on I was going to go with creality like most everyone else but my last trip to micro center I discovered the bamboo A1 and I fell in love with it and I'll be picking it up next week and more and more I look into it more more I think it's the absolute right twist especially for a beginner I mean I don't think you're a beginner I'm just saying in my in my case just because everything is so streamlined and easy to use

[@jibb8545]

I'm a few months into A1 ownership and I don't regret it. Followed the space for years but was always worried about the amount of tinkering required. I didn't have the time for it. I wanted printing to be the hobby, not printers. The A1 has completely solved the problem for me.

[@brianwgDK]

I have been 3dprinting for over 15 years now. And one thing I can say is Bambulab lab have don what Prusa ore Crealety should have done many years ago. Prusa was kinda there, but all other Chinese manufacturers just kept making cheeper and cheeper mashines, and took advantage of thair customers, and the inovation have stood almost still the last 10 years. I got me a Bambulab X1C and that rekindle my love for 3dprinting, and it's a tool now, not only something a am trying to make better myself.. But they are on thair way with a new one a larger printer and it looks promising if the rumors are correct it's going to have atlesste 350mm3 and a dual print head that tilts. Can't wait 😊😊😊

[@Toysojah671]

@ItsMeaDMaDe could do a video on why under nozzle settings and filament settings both have retraction settings

[@fang-penlin4482]

The tip is so good and useful! Can't wait to try out for my next print. Thank you for sharing.

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

Awesome happy to share it!

[@stephengrattage5219]

I have also found when printing by object if you change the object sequence in the box on the left to print the tallest object last it can also help getting more on each build plate. Hope that makes sense.

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

Yeah totally does. I didn't cover that and I probably should of mentioned it. Thanks!

[@seanobrien7169]

Yes to more Bambu content. Your model comparison video was extremely helpful.

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

I am happy you enjoyed the video. There will be plenty more Bambu content coming your way!

[@robk4396]

It is helpful to note that OrcaSlicer has these same features, and the same layout for the most part, so you should be able to do this on most 3D printers, not just Bambu ones.

[@FounderOf4]

I was not aware of these features in Orca, but it is my preferred slicer. Thank you for the info

[@JamesWardGodsMagicGuy]

I can not begin to tell you how much this video means to me. It's like I just asked this question of my favorite 3D printing supply place and BAM! You have this video that shows on my KZbin feed.

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

HA HA! Thats awesome I'm glad i could help you out!

[@MiteshParmar]

Prefect video for me. I know exactly what you mean; set a print this morning which will only take 1hr, but will be in the office all day, to only get home and do the next 1hr print. Now I can try and get more on the plate. As you said, not about the time, since I'm not next to the machine all day. Nice tips!

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

Yeah I think thats the case for most people. I feel better when my printer is just working and not setting there.

[@MiteshParmar]

@ItsMeaDMaDe p.s. I subbed from just watching one of your vids. Straight to point on stuff others seem to miss. Been watching your bambu studio vids. 👌🏾

[@xkernalsandersx]

The first day I got my A1 Mini (2 weeks ago) I was poking around and started learning some of this - but I didn't know about the front to back making it efficient and avoiding collisions so that will help me reduce my plate usage even more! Thanks!!

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

Yeah its just an extra thing to help reduce issues.

[@xkernalsandersx]

@@ItsMeaDMaDe I've had a couple prints I've separated out into 2 or 3 plates but probably could've saved some time by organizing them front to back - going to give that a try on the next multi sized print

[@davidmedina4661]

This was a great video and something I was trying to figure out. Great timing!

[@Jcs2023]

I am new to 3D printing. So new, that I am still waiting for my printer to be delivered. Your videos have been so well created and have helped answer so many questions while preparing me for this new hobby. Keep your videos coming!😊

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

Thats great! Smart move to prepare and learn before you even get your printer. I wish you luck and welcome to the hobby!

[@MarinusMakesStuff]

I've already been doing most of this but I think it's really great that you shared this. I had not imagined that so many people would print with so many filament changes and I bet that your video has a cumulative effect on filament waste. I wonder how big the effect of your video is on the carbon footprint of 3D printing. If enough people see it and start doing this, the effects could be huge. I also feel that this is the responsibility of 3D printer manufacturers to educate people about printing in ways that create the least amount of waste as that's where it starts. Thanks for being an inspiration to many, you have my sub!

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

Yeah I agree is really important to be thinking about the waste. Multicolor printing has opened up so much to people but it also opened up issues around waste. I’ve been working on some videos focusing on this that are coming. But I’m also excited for next year since there are some new technologies coming to recycle your filament back into spools.

[@JonneytheKidd]

Absolutely brilliant. I never would have caught onto this. I have been doing single color stuff because printing by object was a waist of time because i couldn't figure out how to put more than 3 objects on a build plate.

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

Yeah depending on what your printing it can be a huge game changer to get more out of your printer when your not by it all the time to keep restarting prints.

[@NkySpike65]

As a brand new user of a Bambu P1S & AMS printer setup (just got today). Moving from Creality CR-10S Pro V2 using Simplify3D software, everything you can show on how to use the Bambu studio software is a blessing to me! So glad I found your YT channle, been watching and leaning so much. Keep up the great work! Have a Great Holiday, and Happy Printing!

[@S.A.S.H.]

And Orcs which is based on a fork of Bambu has very good support for Creality printers, so you can still have one slicer to rule them all, at least for FDM.

[@JoeyTerrifying69]

I got my X1C a week ago and was literally fighting this last-night, I couldn’t find an option to merge to diminish the exclusion zones for same colours…. Super helpful video and once my current print finishes I will be trying this again. Subscribed!

[@calletey]

Perfecto vídeo y aprendí algunas de tus ideas Gracias

[@S.A.S.H.]

I've been wondering about this process for a while now, but hadn't gotten around to do the testing you've done. So, not being too proud to "borrow" someone else's test results, you've saved me a week's worth of tinkering and a roll or two of filament, I'm sure. So now I'm going to test this on a combo of black and gray Gundam 1/144th scale stands. Thanks! PS: And YES, YES, YES to more Bambu Studio tutorials. It would also be nice to know where they are the same and different in Orca. Since many of us that have multiple brands of FDM use Orca instead of Bambu.

[@MrRanDag]

I learn something new with every one of your videos. Print sequence will be a real time saver. Thank you!

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

Wow thanks so much. I do put a lot into each video to make sure they have value. I really appreciate the comment thank you.

[@RodgerLyle]

This is awesome!! I had no idea that you could merge prints like that. I use this at work, not as a "side hustle" or hobby, so I'm constantly thinking about how much time and material I waste when I'm running prints. Keep up the great work!!

[@MoMarinePrepper]

A huge THANK YOU for making and posting this video! Timely too I plan to give this a shot this afternoon Thanks again!

[@OntheHookGames]

The front back arrangement was new to me. Makes a lot of sense. Well done! 👍🏻

[@Neomaster67]

I already knew about Print Sequence but I would have previously just printed separate plates by color. Your reasoning regarding combining the two colors on the one plate makes sense. As you are not only saving the time to cool and remove, but also the time the printer takes to resume printing waiting on the pre print routines. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

Yeah that’s where the real savings is. Cause using sequence settings it’s faster and saves filament if you noticed in the chart at the end.

[@ThePCPitChannel]

So useful, I had no idea this could be done, thank you

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

Fair point. You’re right I misspoke on that. I’m with you I have a full time job and my printers love to finished once I’m at work. That’s why print sequencing is something I do often

Great content. How does printing them in sequence use less filament than printing separately? ( 15:56 image ) I've use sequence printing regularly for the same reasons you mention but can't say I've ever noticed a filament savings verses doing the jobs the default way of multi-plate. As many have mentioned, your style of info sharing promotes easy learning and / or remembering, great job.

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

You save doing them at the same time in a sequence because each time there is the calibration areas and purges at the start. So cutting one out saves more filament.

[@TitaniumGnome]

[@kennethoros4043]

What a game changer. Can you have this option with same filament but complete each model on build plate separately. So if you run out at least one model is done and one not both incomplete

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

Yes you can.

[@rsilva281]

This is awesome! So it will only work for a single objects with single colors but do you have a way for a single object with mulitple colors?? For example say an object with 4 colors, I'm pretty new at this also so I'm just trying to figure it out. I notice if I print something with more than 3 colors the filament changes are ridiculous. It will print like a little spot and switch etc..... 😞

[@DennisCrawfordJr]

I always changed the print sequence in the special mode area. Never really paid no attention to the icons on the build plate.

[@harmony643]

Would you recommend the bambu a1 or flashfoge 5m or 5m pro ? Its going to be my first printer

[@cube1us]

At least with PLA on the texture build plate,, I don’t take the build plate out of the printer when the print is done. I let it cool down and then the print just slides right off of the plate. And getting the flow testing portions off the plate is easily done with either a fingernail or a very simple scraper.

Interesting, I started with Simplify3D and Cura in 2017 and have had just the opposite reaction to Bambu. Just goes to show why there's room for more than one slicer in our toolkit I guess. I often use Orca instead of Bambu, I have to admit.
