Workflow for printing a FFF 3D printing
(source: https://www.researchgate.net/figure/FFF-3D-printing-process_fig1_355853683)
- Prepare 3D model using a CAD software (Tinkercad, Blender, Fusion360, Rhino3D, SolidWorks, ....). Make sure the 3D model is "water-tight".
- Export 3D model as STL (or STEP in case of Bambu Lab Studio)
- Use a slicer software to convert the STL file into G-code file (or .gcode.3mf in case of Bambu Lab Studio). G-code is the language for describing instructions to control operations of a FFF 3D printer while 3D printing.
- Send the G-code file to the 3D printer, and execute instructions in the G-code file on the 3D printer
- 3D printer operates according to the G-code to complete the printing.
Slicer Software
To slice your 3D model into layers, and convert those layers into print sequence, and generate the G-code file or send it directly to your 3d printer.

The seam is a kind of gap between the start and end points of each perimeter of the layer( Unless you enable the Spiral Vase mode, refer to Spiral Vase | Bambu Lab Wiki). It leaves vertical seams on the surface of the model, which is unavoidable in FDM 3D printing. Seams can be well hidden on irregular surfaces such as those with concave and convex vertices. On the other hand, some models with circular surfaces (such as cylinders) will not be able to hide the seams, which will be very obvious.
Print by object
Print-by-object | Bambu Lab Wiki
When there are multiple print objects in one plate, you can choose to print multiple models at the same time (by layer, the default print sequence), or you can choose to print them one by one. Print-by-object can reduce stringing and oozing caused by traveling between models. And if one model fails, it usually does not affect the printing of the other models when using this mode.
