¶ Layer Shifts
In the example below, the cube model suffers from a few layer shifts
¶ Potential causes and solutions
¶ 1. Print speed is too fast
One of the main reasons why layer shifts can occur is due to the print speed being too fast.
For example, if you start a model with the Normal print speed, then change the speed to Ludicrous mode using the on-screen buttons, the printer movements could be too fast and lead to a layer shift.
Bambu Lab printers have a Step Loss Recovery option which can be enabled in the printer menu.
Enabling this feature allows the printer to detect when there is a layer shift, to try and re-home the printer before continuing to print the rest of the model.
¶ 2. Model is not cooled fast enough
If you print a model with customer print settings, the part cooling requirements might be altered.
In such situations, if the model is not cooled fast enough, parts of the model could curl upwards which can get caught on the nozzle.
This leads to a layer shift and can also lead to a complete print failure if the model gets detached from the heatbed.
To avoid such issues, we recommend using the stock filament profiles configured in Bambu Studio while ensuring the right printer and filament profile is selected, according to your setup.
