3D printer testing:

I went on to Thingiverse choose the All in ONe 3D test as a print test.

Slicing Software: Bambu Studio and Creality Print; supports other slicers capable of exporting standard G-code like SuperSlicer, PrusaSlicer, and Cura, though some smart features may not be supported.

Supported Operating Systems for Slicing Software: MacOS, Windows.

We first download the file from it, and then upload stl file to the Bambu corresponding software Bambu Studio.

We set up with these parameters with out adding supporting material:

Slicer parameters 1

Slicer parameters 2

Here is the result of the print:

Print result — blue

Print result — green

Print result — grey

Print result — yellow

Note: When the same model is imported into slicing software, some fine text is automatically cropped in Bamboo Studio, while Creality preserves portions of it.
