Here is an expanded, step-by-step description of every setting and detail visible in your 2026 Bambu Studio screenshots.
Printer and Material Setup
The top left corner of both screens shows the hardware setup. This tells the computer exactly what kind of machine and plastic you are using.
Printer:Bambu Lab P1S is selected. This is the machine that will melt the plastic to build the toy.
Build Plate: The Texture... (Textured PEI Plate) is selected. This is the removable gold bed inside the printer that the toy sticks to while printing.
Nozzle: The nozzle diameter is set to 0.4mm. The nozzle is the tiny metal tip that squirts out the hot plastic.
Filament: The printer is loaded with PLA Basic in slot number 1. PLA is a safe, plant-based plastic made for beginners.
Advanced Quality Settings (Image 1)
The left sidebar in the first image shows the "Quality" menu. These settings change how the printer moves to make the outside walls look neat.
Wall Generator: Set to Classic. This means the printer will use standard, even paths to draw the outlines of the toy.
Order of Walls: Set to Inner wall/Outer wall. The printer will draw the hidden inside lines of the wall first, then draw the outside line so it looks perfectly smooth.
Avoid Crossing Wall: This green switch is turned On. It tells the printer nozzle to stay inside the toy's shape while moving around so it doesn't leave accidental plastic strings on the outside.

On the left side of the second image, the Support menu is open. Supports are temporary plastic columns that hold up parts of the toy that float in mid-air.
Enable Support: The box is checked On.
Type: Set to Tree(auto). This means the printer will automatically grow branch-like structures to hold up the slider button without wasting too much plastic.

Total Time:22 minutes, 48 seconds.
Total Estimated Cost:$0.10. The plastic used to make this toy costs only ten cents!
