Bambu Studio 3D Printing Procedure
This procedure details the steps for preparing and printing a part on the Bamboo 3D printer, including verifying settings, importing and orienting STL files, and arranging objects on the baseplate.
The 4mm nozzle and textured PEI plate are typically used with this printer. However, always double-check the physical printer and the software settings before starting to ensure the correct nozzle and plate are selected.
To add a SolidWorks file to your project, navigate to File > Import > Import STL
To correctly orient the part, you can either: - Click the Auto Orient button on the top toolbar for automatic alignment. - Use the Lay on Face button to select the desired print face manually. Reminder: Parts printed at a 45-degree angle or greater will be self-supporting. The software automatically generates support if the angle between your part and the baseplate is less than 45 degrees.
If necessary, arrange the objects for optimal placement. You can either: - Click the Arrange All Objects button on the top toolbar to automatically position the parts. - Manually drag the models in the 3D preview using your mouse for custom arrangement.
Once everything is set, click the Print button located in the top right corner to begin the printing process.
