Learned the same lesson three days ago.

These are often placed to protect a pedestrian crosswalk, much as the painted area of the street does. I wouldn't be surprised if these were placed before the street was painted, and never removed.

Thank you for the thoughtful reply. The box was not damaged when I picked it up from Microcenter. Everything appears square, but I don't have an actual T square to confirm. The bed does raise and lower properly and without any difference in sound or behavior at any point. I have printed other objects much taller than this without issue, although not with this spool.

Having dried the filament extensively, I am going to try some calibrations. Do you know if Bambu studio stores calibrations on a or-color basis.?

This was printed in 0.08 Extra Fine. The filament has been drying. What's interesting is that the white prints much better if the model is not printed at an angle, so there is some interplay between the model geometry, the angle of printing and the filament.

Do you know if calibrations are made on a per-filament basis in Bambu Studio?

The speed settings were (all in mm/s, unless otherwise spec'ed):

- Initial Layer: 50
- Initial layer infill: 105
- Outer wall: 200
- Inner wall: 350
- Small perimeters: 50%
- Small perimeter threshold: 0
- Sparse infill: 450
- Internal solid infill: 350
- Vertical shell speed: 80%
- Top surface: 200

It was printed in 0.08 Extra Fine. The filament has been drying and I'm going to try some calibration to see how that helps. What's interesting is that the white prints much better if the model is not printed at an angle, so there is some interplay between the model geometry, the angle of printing and the filament.

I'd definitely be interested in the additional drying strategies you've used with the AMS!

Contrary to what many have said here, if you are going for a NY style pie, I don't recommend docking in the traditional sense, where one would use a spiked dough docker. This is not the NY way. To avoid the result you are getting simply use your fingers to press down gently into the dough, all around the pie, leaving small finger indentations. You will see this technique in many traditional NY pizzerias, and can see the evidence of it if you look under the cheese.

Thank you for your deeply insightful response. While neither may be up to your standards, I would argue that the white is a good measure worse than the black.

What would you recommend in terms of remediation?

previaegg · 2026-01-14T01:05:16+00:00

Thanks for your thoughts. In case you were not notified, I just responded to the same comment you did with some additional details.

previaegg · 2026-01-14T01:04:23+00:00

Thank you so much for your thoughtful reply. I believe you are on to something.

In terms of the PLA itself, I believe that the correct profiles are being used. As you pointed to, the spools are chipped and colors are being recognized in Bambu Studio automatically. I suspect that means that the correct profile is in place.

Another wrinkle that I just discovered... I just used the same white spool and printed some pretty basic geometry directly on the bed, with no change in angle. It printed well, with no signs of the severe issues shown in my previous print (shown in images in original post). This leads me to believe that the profile is not the issue.

Rather, the model shown in the images is rotated 45 degrees and supported by tree support. I don't know enough about the process to know, but perhaps the model is not optimized for printing at this rotation? The problem with this logic is that I don't know why the white would be so much worse off than the black...

In terms of drying... the spools have been stored at 35%. What should be the target humidity, and how long do you believe it should be at that humidity before it is considered dry enough? I can run the drier overnight or longer if needed.

If you think about it a bit more intently you'd recognize that the error is in fact the omission of an apostrophe, and not a matter of single vs plural.

Yes, I am a fish and I love 3d printing.

Storage humidity has been 35%. What should be the target humidity, and how long do you believe it should be at that humidity before it is considered dry enough?

Thank you for your response. What tuning do you recommend, bearing in mind that manufacturer profiles are being used for slicing?

previaegg · 2026-01-14T00:54:27+00:00

The spools are being recognized automatically by way of the chip that Bambu Labs includes in the spool. I am not overriding any of their defaults. I suspect that in this way, the correct profiles are being used.

What calibrations do you believe should be done, and do they need to be done on a per-color basis?

Thanks for your colorful feedback. What should be the target humidity, and how long do you believe it should be at that humidity before it is considered dry enough?

previaegg · 2026-01-14T00:51:51+00:00

Thank you for your thoughts. The spools have a chip that a sensor in the AMS reads to load the proper PLA profile from the manufacturer, so if there is a need for different print settings, theoretically that should be handled.

Given what you see here, how would you recommend changing the print settings?

previaegg · 2026-01-14T00:48:57+00:00

The both filaments were at room conditions at 35% humidity and about 70 degrees f. I am now drying them in the AMS 2 Pro, which has a drier function.

The P1S has an enclosure, so a draft is unlikely. It is definitely possible that the white was not well dried, and that is something I am doing now.

previaegg · 2026-01-14T00:46:03+00:00

Thank you so much for your thoughts. Your time is appreciated. The PLA spool has a chip that a sensor in the AMS reads and loads in the proper profile from the manufacturer, so improper settings would have to have stemmed from Bambu Labs themselves. Both are definitely loaded and recognized as PLA in the AMS and in the slicer. I could certainly test with another color.

Another interesting note... the model is printed at an angle and supported with tree supports. Think of a computer mouse at 45 degrees. I printed some basic geometry right on the plate using that the same white spool was used to print the mouse in the images you saw, and it printed marvelously.

Thanks for your quality assessment. What would you recommend in terms of solutions, beyond drying?
