Bambu Slicer file issues

dconnell

When I open any of the orca main parts, upper, lower etc. Then import the supports of modifiers the parts do not line up. I have to manual move the supports and modifiers to match up with the lower and upper parts. This is not as much of an issue with the modifiers since they have some room to move, but the supports are more tricky to get just right. Is there a file that imports the parts and the supports together so I know they are not going to get messed up?

Thanks

dconnell Bambu is a bit odd, check out Sean's video on this: https://odysee.com/@hoffmantactical:3/Slicing-3D-Printed-Guns-on-Bambu-Studio-Slicer---Odysee:6

when you add in the supports and modifiers make sure you have the actual part selected and right click on the part. Always make sure you add the modifier under the modifier tab and same same for the enforcer. Another thing to try is to center the model and then click on the modifiers and center those.

Thank you both, great advice I will try this out and see what I get.

These suggestions and video were super helpful, but I am running into an issue with the imported supports printing like Swiss cheese and falling apart, The actual model prints great, but some areas where the support fails the model does not print as well. It is happening even if I slice the file with different filaments. The models that have support enforcers are working well.

The files I used are from the Orca V5.3 download.

Any suggestions?
Thanks

dconnell Can you share your settings, and maybe a pic of your failed prints.

Also right away I'm almost thinking your nozzle needs to be cleaned.

Second retraction settings can cause supports not to form properly.

All my files are to large to upload, I will try to compress them. I doubt it is the nozzel since the actual part printed nearly perfect, only a little bit of the support under the trigger guard stuck a little to well and needs to be filed down. In the slicer I can see the errors in the imported supports.

When I printed the handguard with the support enforcers and the Bambu generated support it was great.

dconnell I personally just recommend tree supports I use them for everything.

dconnell Also I see now that has to do with your printing line thickness being larger than the support model's wall thickness.
if you can just list the settings in text that helps.

I originally used the Orca V5.3 files, The V5.3.B and V5.3.D files sliced great, I will print the next set with these files.

The printing is done, Now the build. Thanks to everyone that offered help along the way.
