That would be cool. lol (Bambu Lab if you are watching...🤣) I try to make stuff I would like to see in videos. Mistakes and all. Thank you for the continued support and comments.

Very good catch. I typically do these videos in one take and miss some things. That's why our community is best I learn alongside everyone else.😁Thank you for watching and commenting.

Lol, that was my "go to" technique in the beginning. Simple but effective. 😁 I am elated it is helpful.

Thank you very much for watching. 😁

Thank you very much. looking back at earlier videos and interacting with everyone certainly helps. I may borrow your saying. 😁

I was hoping I didnt send out to many redundant videos and there were some new things to show. l lol about the gloves. 😆 Thanks again for watching and commenting. Everything helps.

Thank you very much. I have been using the slicer for 95% of my projects and it's a great tool.

Thank you very much for you support, comments and advice. This slicer has a lot of options that I'm still trying to parse out.

Thank you very much. 😊😁👍

I truly appreciate the kindness. Thank you.

You're welcome! Thank you very much for watching and the positive feedback. I hope the project goes well

Great to hear!

Thanks for watching and commenting.

No worries. the video is longer than what I typically put out. The longer video poll won this week. lol

Thank you very much. I am honored. 🙂

Glad it helped! 😁

Thank you very much. I appreciate that. 😁

I meant deboss

I hope the project goes well. Thank you for watching and commenting.

@@nakleh 😀Thank you very much for watching and commenting.

@@ashleys3dprintshop thank you more! Can I guess where you're from? I detect a Pennsylvania accent? (I'm from NYC)

actually you don't have to answer that, for privacy reasons..

Glad I could help! Thank you very much for watching and commenting.

I'm glad it helped.😊This has been learning journey as I am still getting a grasp of all the tools at our disposal. Thank you for watching and commenting.

Thank you so much!! I seriously could not do this without everyone's support and guidance.

Hello. Thank you very much for watching and your kind comment. I appreciate it. I always wonder if my pacing is correct for most folks. 😄

I agree - this was super helpful. I am still having trouble getting the text to print when I also add a logo though. Any help would be appreciated @ashleys3dprintshop

@@kendimerlo3402 Thank you. If you are mixing logos/text the same rules apply,as the order of operations. You would want the text and logo below the main model. 6:17 Also you want to make sure the text and logo are are at least 2 layers, in the z axis. for for a .2mm layer height make sure the text/logo is .4mm or higher.

Thank you very much.😁

So nice of you. Thank you

Thank you very much. 😀

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much. 😁

Hello, thanks for watching and reaching out. Great question. The *Assemble* function just joins 2 or more items into a *model* with those parts. That's why I can manipulate those parts even after an assemble. 4:42 Also if separate models/parts are touching/overlapping without assemble/mesh you will get an error when slicing. *Mesh Boolean* can combine 2 or more items in a single part. It's locking in the combination but it wipes out the manipulating individual pieces. 16:50 So I would not be able to change those individual letters when they are meshed together.

@@ashleys3dprintshop thank you for that explanation. I understand now.

Hey hey thank you very much for watching and asking. I am trying to see how much we can accomplish with in the slicer and there are far more tools at our disposal. after doing the steps. here 18:30 or 24:33 So you can rotate text with the rotate tool. (R key) then use the Z arrows to rotate. It will rotate from a central point. So wherever you place it the "center" is the pivot/rotate point. So think of the center as the center of the sphere or torus.

Thank you again. I have been working through your channel and the information is so very useful and it's helping me have a better understanding of what is possible within the slicer and what you can expect from the printer.

So I, incorrectly, assumed ALL installed fonts work in studio. I haven't found an easy answer on why some fonts show up and others do not. There are some fonts I found online that work fine and others that dont. Some will show in studio as selectable, but not reflect the correct font. It didnt matter if it were ttf or otf, installed in windows or placed in the bambu program font folder. I gave up on a solution months ago when even fonts from the same source(website) worked while others did not. I know it's not a great answer *BUT* there is a solution. *Orca Slicer* seems to use all of the fonts I have tested that bambu studio could not. It's close enough in functionality to Bambu studio,with some added features, to where there isnt a learning curve. I hope that helps. Thanks for the question and postivie feedback.

@@ashleys3dprintshop That is a helpful answer. I wondered what happened to all the other installed Windows fonts that were not showing up either. It looks I’ll have to install the Orca Slicer and give it a try. Up to this point Bambu Studio has met all my needs. Thanks for the prompt response!

Hello. Orca has a bunch more tools for text, as you know. Orca actually pulls more from Prusa slicer than Bambu studio for text so how the curved text on surface changed up a bit. The "horizontal" option is nonexistent All is not lost if you don't mind using another way. Obviously this way that is shown with Bambu studio. You can export it out as an STL. Place them individually (not ideal) Roll back to an earlier version of Orca Slicer. You can use maker world, with limited font types. and export it and import into Orca. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o7SRebOnnpmWh3U.html

Hello, that is an amazing gift. Welcome to the community. Typically if I see abnormal filament extruding I check for clogs which it appears you have already done. You will always get the same advice for filament(dry it out, check for filament crimps, clean the nozzle, make sure the silicone sock on there properly) To fully test that theory I would run a different filament to see if it continues to clump. The A1 printer have a quick swap nozzle so you could put in a new nozzle to test. Also with that nozzle removed you can warm it up with a hair dryer and shove in a bit of filament. Be careful as it will be hot. (use oven mitts or bbq gloves) let it cool down and yank it with the strength of Hercules to see if there is anything in there. Alternatively you can get acupuncture needles and to push through or catch any globs. Can I ask what kind of filament brand/type you have been using?

I am currently using the latest bambu studio 1.8.4 but I have been using the same settings since Aug 2022. Orca slicer has forked a bit with its settings adopting more prusa like naming convention. In Orca slicer the latest version is 1.9 where it is just called depth now. You may need to use the move tool specifically on the text to embed it.

Orca Slicer is a little different. Thank you sir!

Thank you very much. I have dabbled in tinkercad for a little bit. No were near an expert though.

So sorry about the late reply. Line width should be what you are looking for. I actually tested exactly what you were looking for. 24x24x2 with 4mm text using a .4mm nozzle. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gZxdpMuJl7mYeY0.html I would use .3 line width for the text/top surface. Or you can make the entire thing .3mm. I did not have it print on edge as it would make for many filament changes and take more time.

@@ashleys3dprintshop nice. I'm going to try this tomorrow

Thank you. No major reason for the gloves. Some parts stand out more or reduces fingerprints on models.

Hello. I haven't don't a full video on this (just a partial one) but I recommend making the curved text on maker world's maker lab. m.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oJZjpcZ7t8q6nYU.html makerworld.com/en/makerlab/makeMySign/edit/261579 The you can export out the curved text and fit it to your model. The biggest downside are the font limitations.

Hello. The most common issue with text not showing up can be found at 6:35 The model has to be a the top and the text at the bottom in the "object process" section. If the model is below the text it "overwrites" the text. I hope that helps.

Hello, great question. So it has an odd answer. Bambu studio will pull most(not all) installed fonts into the slicer. But it does not display that font at all. It defaults to a generic font when selected. Orca slicer can see and use more fonts but that Absalom typeface does not show up in that one either. 😕

Hello. You can kinda center things. but it is mostly manual positioning. If you right click on the model and "center" YOu can right click the text(in object process) and center. From there you can use the move tool(m key) to take it the rest of the way for fine tuning.

You know if i have white cap and green text, there is one or two white spot inside every letter.

@@NikkiSebastian Hello, There could be a few reasons. But before I go into potential troubleshooting are you seeing "seams"in the slice section? Go to slice, uncheck seams. They dont affect the model on or off but it makes it look like the model has white spots in areas where the print head stops to go to the next layer. If you are running into actual parts of the curve missing 1 the text may need to penetrate more into the model. Alternatively you can create curved text and export it out from makerworld's maker lab. the biggest issue there is a limited number of fonts available but it is very simple to create curved text there and export it as an STL. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o7SRebOnnpmWh3U.html If you are running into any issues feel free to message.

Thanks i will check those soon. Just had a thought it can also be that my text is too small or the 0.4 is too big for that.

When i uncheck seams those white spots disappear.
