Avoid interface filament for base
In Bambu Studio, the profile 0.20mm Standard @BBL A1 sets it toYes
Keeps the special interface filament from also being used in the support body, even when the slicer would like to use it to save a filament change.
How it works
When the interface uses a different filament, on some layers it would be handier for the slicer to print the support body with that filament too (it's already loaded) and skip a spool change.
With this box checked, that doesn't happen: the interface filament is used only for the interface and the body always uses the regular filament. Unchecked, the slicer can use the interface filament in the body whenever it suits it.
When to change it
- If the interface filament is expensive or delicate, like Support for PLA or PVA: leave it on (the default).
- A batch of figures with lots of support, when you have a nearly full spool of Support for PLA and would rather have fewer spool changes and less purging: turn it off.
Typical values
| Value | What for |
|---|---|
| On | Interface filament only in the interface; defaultdefault |
| Off | Fewer changes, more support filament |
Watch out for
- It does nothing if “Support/raft interface” is set to “Default”.
- A support body made entirely of support filament can end up soft and warp on tall supports.

Avoid using support interface filament to print support base if possible.
