Have you tried color printing while also embossing? I did and it turns out that it wasn't working! I figured I'd share it with everyone to see if it could help any of you to have better success.
I had been asked recently to print a Nintendo Logo Plaque for a Friend, and he asked if I could also emboss it. I thought that it might not look great, but I said I'd give it a try. At the time I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I could have just printed it flat and have been done with it, but no, I was over-confident and had to find a way to make it work. This video goes through a whole bunch of options for getting this look, some are good options, some are not.
I hope some of these ideas are helpful, I would also hope that Bambu Studio continues to add features to make bridging better, at the moment we can only control a few settings, but having control over the layers above would also be super handy.

![Let Your Creality K1 MAX and K1 Printers Soak for the Best First Layers
This is really easy to do, and now you dont need to think to get better results.
Help support this channel! https://www.patreon.com/Needitmakeit
Youre not along if youre having trouble getting a good first layer on your K1 or K1 Max printer. With the Max, we found out that with such a fast heating cycle, and the larger and thin bed were getting a lot of warpage, but we also found that the warpage didnt stop right away, the bed changed shape and then began to change back. Most of the settling back happened within 10 minutes but it continued for as long as 20 minutes.
In this video I wanted to show you a way to pre-heat automatically so that you dont need to think about it.
**Special note: The Max takes only 5 minutes to reach 100C, its far faster than most other printers, adding a bit of time back to this heating cycle is a good idea and will give you the best results with the thickness of aluminum plate were dealing with.
Another way to support this channel indirectly is through my Amazon affiliate links (where I receive a small commission). It helps me to continue to provide high-quality content videos. Thank you for your support!
