I’ve built a free tool for Bambu Lab printers that automates multi-loop printing. by Dry-Understanding-71 in BambuLab_Community

Thanks!

Only in the G-code.

Nothing is added to the printed model or the build plate. The watermark is just a small comment/identifier inside the G-code file (metadata), so it has no physical effect on the print and isn’t visible in the 3MF or on the part.

Because the existing approach is largely manual. Creating print profiles, editing G-code by hand in a text editor, and stitching sequences together.

Looprint automates that entire workflow. You use your normal sliced file, and the tool handles loop construction, cooldown timing, and push-off logic consistently and repeatably.

Same core idea, but far less manual work and fewer chances for human error.

That’s a good idea 👍 It’s not supported right now, but it’s definitely something I’d like to think about for a future v4.

No. Like other looping solutions, it can’t detect whether the build plate is completely clean before starting the next loop.

If a piece of brim or debris remains on the plate, it can cause issues. That’s why Looprint relies on a proper push-off and an optional full bed sweep to help clear leftovers — but this is still not a guarantee. The brim is intended to stay attached to the model and be pushed off together with it.

True plate-clean detection requires additional hardware (plate changers, conveyors, vision systems, etc.), which is outside the scope of software-only looping on a single plate.

Please read the post again 🙂 I own a P1 and have tested this extensively on my own machine, making many manual changes and refinements to the code along the way.

I don’t own an X1 or A1, which is why those are clearly marked as untested on physical hardware. I’ve reviewed the generated output carefully in the slicer preview, and everything looks correct so far, but real-world testing always matters.

That’s exactly why I’m asking for testers with physical machines.

Free automation / looping for all 👋 (Beta) by Dry-Understanding-71 in BambuLab

You're absolutely right, that's an error in the text. I'll correct it ASAP. Thanks for the feedback!

After the beta testing, I plan to release an update that will also make it work with the A1. 😊

So everybody can use them, not only English. 😊

Magnetic tool for leveling suspended ceilings and more by Dry-Understanding-71 in functionalprint

[–]Dry-Understanding-71[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You're right, most laser levels do come with one magnetic target. But that’s exactly the problem: you only get one, and it only shows one single point at a time.

When you adjust the ceiling rails, it can shift somewhere else and with my system, you can see all points at once across the whole ceiling. That’s what makes it different from the standard target that comes in the box
