On a Bambu Lab printer, use the 3MF from the Builder: it opens in Bambu Studio ready to print. On any other printer, use the STL files.

Turn off compensation

The Builder already puts your coupon’s corrections into every part. Set these to 0 so the slicer doesn’t correct twice. The Bambu 3MF has them at 0 already.

After printing

  • Spin the wheel. It should turn with almost no effort. Pick off any first-layer bulge.
  • Clear stringing from holes with a knife. Don’t drill them.
  • Leave the outside alone. If it doesn’t fit, change the Builder, not the print.
