What you get
Try now
  • Run a free Printability Report before you press Print (seconds, not hours).
  • Spot overheating vs overcooling risk so you know what to change—without guesswork.
  • Compare “what‑ifs” (fan, speed, temps) with clearer go/no‑go confidence.
Helps you achieve
Proof
  • Fewer failed prints (especially long jobs)
  • Less warping & distortion
  • Stronger layer bonding (avoid brittle/cold layers)
  • Cleaner bridges & overhangs
How it works (fast)
Try now How it works
  1. Step 1
    Slice as usual in Bambu Studio
  2. Step 2
    Then run Assess (make it a habit) → get a Printability Report + risk map
  3. Step 3
    Apply one targeted change, then re‑run Assess to confirm the fix
Tip: Treat it like a checklist—Slice → Assess → fix the top risk → re-run Assess to confirm.

Clear Assess Reports With Pass / Risk Verdicts

Every Assess now delivers a simple, actionable report that tells you if a print will succeed — and how to improve it if not.

Know if it will work — before you hit print.

Workflow

Diagnose faster with a guided checklist

When Assess flags thermal risk, you usually need just a few targeted tweaks. Use this wizard to decide what to try next based on whether you’re overheating (red) or overcooling (blue).

How to use it
  • Run Assess and note the TQI color (red vs blue).
  • Answer the quick questions (fan limits, speed limits, where the issue is).
  • Apply one change at a time, then re-run Assess to confirm improvement.
Assess decision wizard
Red = overheatingBlue = overcooling
Start with your Assess result
Assess summarizes thermal risk with TQI. If TQI is red, you’re trending too hot. If it’s blue, you’re trending too cold. Pick what you’re seeing to get a recommended next move.
This is a guided checklist based on common thermal failure patterns. Always stay within material and printer safety limits.
