Max flow test for bambulab slicer

WARNING speeds at the top of the tower set up to 476mms (slower then bambu x1c normal travel speed) so use at your own risk but you have normally stopped the print well before this. if you change it to 0.3 layer height, it won't need to print as fast but calculations will require the slicer to check.

the tower increases perimeter print speed by 14mms every 1mm of z height causing an increase of 1mm3 of flow starting from 11mm3 for the first 1mm

How to set it up

setup for x1c generic abs 0.4mm nozzle (change to match your printer and nozzle)

set what filament you would like to print in and adjust max volumetric to something high like 50mm3 and turn off slow printer down for better layer cooling in the cooling tab

slice and print to model and stop the print when you see it starting to undextrude or have inconsistencies in the layers.

mesure from the bottom to where the last layer that looks perfect.

the measurement in mm + 10 is what your max volumetric flow is

so for my test Esun ABS+ @270c is 19mm + 10 = 29mm3 max flow

set it slightly lower then this by about 10% in your filament settings for safety

you can also check this in the slicer by going to that layer in the preview tab and setting view to flow and will show you the value at the bottom.

you can also use the seam to check where flow and acceleration is becoming an issue

just checked it and it's setup correctly. when you slice it in bambu studio, can you switch the view to "speed" and see if you see different colors on it (from bottom to top)? are you by any chance changing the filament from the default one that is setup? if you do so, make sure you transfer the changes (there are 2 parameters that have been modified, without these changes, it won't work).

5 of 5 stars. but i had to use my pc to slice it since sending it from bambu handy results in speed not working. wouldn't let me rate 5 stars since i cancelled Print. now to compare with a cht nozzle. i was able to complete the print using a cht high flow nozzle, but the heater had trouble keeping up. regardless, im amazed by the improvement of melt volume!

Hey have you tried reapplying thermal grease to the hotend element and in the nozzle threads? The bambu stuff should work fine but you can hit up the boron nitride grease from slice engineering. Worked wonders with my cht nozzle :)

good tip, but that slice engineering stuff is what i'm using, it's a couple years old however, not sure if it starts to go bad with time (it was opened a couple years ago)

I think the heater not keeping up is actually an indication of the thermal compound working as intended, quickly wicking heat from the heater to the nozzle. It’s more just the heater struggling to keep up with heating up that massive amount of plastic flow in a CHT-style nozzle :)

E3D's new high flow nozzle smashed this test. I need a taller one to print now 😀

Got 26mm³/s for Elegoo Rapid PETG at 255°C. Prints came out much nicer than default Generic PETG settings.

Anyone else getting the error "The spiral vase mode does not work when an object contains more than one materials"? I am definitely only trying to run one material, and I went through object by object, making sure there was only one wall loop, no support,etc. I'm thinking this is a bug. Let me also mention I have downloaded several versions of this print, and always get that error so I don't think the problem is with the prints.

Profile was very good, thank you. Ran it completely stock with the PLA profile on my P1S. FILAMENT: Bambu PLA Matte - Black MODS: Full metal gears and a CHT Nozzle.
