Now put the printer in a pop up enclosure and it's definitely better again for the ASA keeping the ambient up. I found doing flat stuff the heat from the bed is enough but the velocity stacks were cooling too fast. Enjoying the learning curve.
One of the reasons I haven't played with materials like ASA/ABS is the styrene outgassing as I don't have anywhere ventilated I can put the printer at the moment. Are you doing anything to deal with this?
k what do you think this is a professional operation?It might be worth thinking about if you are regularly using it as the accessibility of these machines isn't backed up with much in the way of safety warnings. When I move house I am planning to get a proper setup sorted with some form of extraction. I have a resin printer too and that gives me headaches for a day or two if I can't open a window.
I'll probably investigate replacing a small window with a panel with bathroom extraction fan mounted in it or something like that
Does anyone know what setting might resolve this... I can't see anything in bambu studio that makes a difference.
When I slice in Bambu lab studio it's creating this top surface pattern:
When I do it in Cura it does this which I prefer... But I don't want to use the cura file because it doesn't list bambu lab printers and therefore doesn't have all the right speed settings etc:
I'm a little underwhelmed by the bambu studio to be honest. It's very easy to use but the more I've read into it there are various settings discussed online to improve/tweak quality and unless I'm being stupid I can't find them in bambu studio.
If Cura had the bambu printers in the drop down menu I would probably use that instead.

There is a forked version of Bambu Studio.
https://github.com/SoftFever/BambuStudio-SoftFever
Not sure what the differences are, but it does have built in profiles for other manufactures.

I was being stupid, did find a load more settings to play with, however I have just downloaded the forked version and there's more still.. will provide an update when I've played with it a bit.
To be honest the quality of the prints are fantastic with the base settings the only thing I wanted to try was getting rid of the z seam as much as possible and the forked version has more adjustability in that regard. Some of the pieces I'm making don't have a corner or an obvious place to align the seam to, so I've been randomising it but then obviously you get the odd dots (not blobs to be fair).

Sure vase mode is a continuous print, it shouldn't have a seam unless I am missing something? (it is very possible I am missing something)
Possibly, I've never used it before! I will have to have a closer look at the print. I guess there is no need to full stop like a normal print, but there is still the position you switch layers.I will try another normal print in a bit with random seam position to compare

Been printing some TPU this weekend and whilst at one point I was ready to throw in the towel I seem to have hit a sweet spot and got some nice prints out of it. The downside is it's slow, but it is incredible stuff. Mega strong and vibration resistant which makes it perfect for what I'm making

I am waiting on the rebuilt AppImage for this. Currently using the normal Bambu Studio in a VM, but once the rebuilt AppImage comes out, it should work nicely on my laptop(s).https://github.com/SoftFever/BambuStudio-SoftFever

What sort of things did you need to tweak for the TPU?
Lower print speed as well as making all print speeds equal, fast travel speed to combat stringing, turn retraction off, lower/fine tune volumetric flow rate, and a Biggie for me was resetting the extruder tension as if setup for hard filaments the tpu can easily get deformed when being pulled through and lead to jamming.
