General Slicing Settings

Settings to adjust for higher quality prints:

Detailed models.
Architectural models.
Complex geometry

Layer Height

The thickness of each layer in the print.
The lower the layer height, the higher the vertical resolution.

Min: 0.15mm | Slower printing, weaker, but higher Z-resolution. Max: 0.3mm | Faster, stronger, but lower Z-resolution.

Seam Position

The 'Seam' is the gap in between starting and finishing point of printing each layer.

An aligned seam arranges all the starting points of each printing layer at the same position across the vertical axis.

This may be unfavourable in some cases where it might cause a visible gap along a smooth print surface

A random seam allocates the starting and finishing points to different positions on each layer and could minimise the visibility of the gap.

Wall Loops

This is the number of outer shells to be printed for the object.
The greater the wall loops, the stronger the prints will be, the longer the time it is going to take to print.

Min: 2 | Weaker, lower quality surfaces, but faster and cheaper. Max: 5 | Stronger, higher quality surfaces, but slower printing and more material ($).

Sparse Infill

Infill could be another useful way to compensate the strength of the print.
Different infill patterns respond to different compressive behaviour.

Min: 7% | Weaker, but faster and less material used. MAx: 100% | Stronger, but better strength achieved with more Wall Loops (above).

Top / Bottom Shells

You can customise the different surface patterns on both top and bottom shells, which will affect the appearance of the print.
We recommend printing with a higher number of top surface (min. 5) if you have a model with a large top surface area.

Min: 2 | Weaker, lower quality surfaces, but faster print. Max: 5 | Stronger, higher surfaces, but slower print.

Support Types

Bambu Studio generates two types of supports

Normal Supports work best for large and flat overhangs. It maximises the surface of the underside of an overhang to be supported by a material.

Tree Supports work best for complex geometries. It optimises support efficiency and reaches undersides without colliding with the

object.

Support Angle

Smaller Angle

Larger Angle

Decrease the angle (Min 30°) to save on material/time, but too little means the print may not print at all! If your print looks like below, increase the support angle!

Increase the angle Max 90°) to capture more unsupported areas, more supports may be necessary to ensure the part even prints
