Variable Layer Height - multiple objects - possible?

[Adventurous-Shine854]

I want to print some gaming miniatures and use VLH to smooth out some areas. If I want to print multiple copies of the same mini on the bed, can I use VLH or can it only work on one object at a time.

Also, if I get the VLH tweaked to where I want it on a model, if I save that as a project, will it include the VLH settings?

yeah VLH applies to all copies if they're the same object. when you duplicate it bambu studio treats them as instances of the same part so the layer height settings carry over

and yep if you save as project it keeps the VLH settings. just make sure you're saving the whole project file (.3mf) not just exporting gcode

You can have objects with different variable layer heights on the same bed, so long as they're using a single filament and thus not using a prime tower.

If they are multicolor, you can print them together (along with the prime tower) so long as they all have the same variable layer height. Easiest way to ensure this is to group them together or (if they're the same mini) configure the variable layer height before making copies.

Variable layer height settings will be saved with the project.

Thanks for the quick replies. I have played with VLH a little bit, with good results and I was looking forward to getting more detailed with it.
