Commissioning
We have finished setting up the hardware for the time being and can now continue with the setup on the side touchscreen. After switching on for the first time, we are immediately greeted by the wizard. Unfortunately, there is no way around taking a photo of the small screen, so please excuse the sometimes not-so-pretty pictures.
First of all, the language is selected. I opted for English, but a complete translation into German is also available.
The region and the server used for the online functions are also specified.
Theoretically, the connection to the Internet can also be skipped. However, it is essential in order to obtain the full range of functions and updates.
The app can also be linked using QR codes.
The 3D printer then wants to calibrate everything first.
First up is the “Motor Noise Cancellation” feature introduced a while ago, which can noticeably dampen the noise typical of stepper motors.
An acceleration sensor is then used to detect the very individual vibration during movements. At best, the printer is already in its final position at this point, otherwise this step can also be triggered manually later.
Slicer
I used Bambu Studio version 1.9.2 for the majority of my tests and most recently used version 1.9.3.50. As there are always new functions in the world of modern slicers, which are often based on developments by the community, I will only give a brief snapshot here.
The source code of this software is open-source and available on Github, in large parts it is based on PrusaSlicer and Slic3r. The release notes go into more detail about the latest innovations.
Working in several steps or “tabs” is somewhat reminiscent of the workflow from the video editing program DaVinci Resolve 18 from Blackmagic Design. It’s a little unusual at first, as the printer interface is also called up in the slicer and not via a website, but you get used to it.
The side-mounted camera can be accessed either via Bambu Studio or the app for mobile devices, even outside your own network.
Here are the permissions requested by the app on an Android smartphone.
You then link the printer to your account, which is mandatory for remote access outside the home network, for example.
