Mixed color sublayer
In Bambu Studio, the profile 0.20mm Standard @BBL A1 sets it toNo
For mixed-color filament: it splits each layer into thinner sublayers that alternate colors, so the blend looks more even. If you don't use that feature, it does nothing.
How it works
Bambu Studio has a “mixed color filament” feature that combines two filaments in the same area to create an in-between color. Without this option, each full layer is printed in one color or the other, and the change shows up as stripes.
With sublayers turned on, the layers that use mixed filament are split into thinner bands that alternate. Up close they're still two colors; from a distance your eye blends them into one. The trade-off is more filament changes and a longer print.
When to change it
- A figure where you combine red and yellow to get orange: turn it on so the orange looks even instead of striped.
- Any print that doesn't use mixed color filament: leave it off; it has no effect.
Typical values
| Value | What for |
|---|---|
| No | Default; each layer in a single colordefault |
| Yes | Alternating sublayers; more even blend |
Watch out for
- Every filament change uses up plastic on the purge (what the printer pushes out to clear the previous color): expect more waste.
- It only matters if you have several filaments loaded in the printer; with just one, nothing changes.

What Bambu Studio says
Enable mixed color sublayer splitting. When enabled, layers containing mixed color filaments will be split into sub-layers to achieve color mixing effects.
