v1.6.0 Public Beta

Summary

This is a major release (V1.6.0 Public Beta) mainly adds some features, improvements, and fixes based on user feedback.

Add gcode path conflict check

Printing often fails due to unexpected path conflict. Unexpected crossing gcodes increase the risk of print failures and issues such as supports merging onto other objects, sometimes even resulting in nozzle clogging. However, manually checking for these conflicts can be challenging for users, given the complexity and volume of G-codes.
This feature identifies conflicts between G-code paths of different objects and their supports. Upon detection, an error message will appear at the bottom right of the windows, requiring users to adjust the positions of the conflicting objects before printing can proceed. Besides adjusting the position, you may also assemble conflict objects together if they are printed in the same setting.

Support ext spool for X1C/X1

In line with the latest firmware update for the X1 series, the filaments in spool holders and AMS are now consistently managed. You could configure filament properties (including type, color, and printing temperature) on the external spool holder via Studio or the printer. This setting allows the printer to perform some automations which were only available with AMS like loading/unloading filaments, etc. Please refer to the X1 series firmware release history for details.

We want to thank PrusaSlicer for their contributions to the 3D printing community, particularly their implementation of these handfuls of features such as Height Range Modifier, Cut with Connector, Sinking, and G-code sequential view. These features have been successfully enhanced and integrated into Bambu Studio to improve user experience.

Support height range modifier, users can add several height range modifiers to apply different settings #258 #476

Height Range Modifier allows users to apply specific settings to certain height ranges within a 3D object. This feature enables fine-tuning of print settings for different sections of a model. By utilizing this feature, users could paint different colors based on height, or achieve better print quality, efficiency, and customization for their prints.

Advanced cut with connectors #1033 #1057

This feature enables users to print large or intricate models on smaller build plates or with reduced support structures. Users can create and customize connectors that perfectly fit the separated parts, ensuring precise alignment and enhanced structural integrity.

Support gcode sequential view, it will display when moving a single step #15

Support sinking and only slice model part above hot bed #585 #973

V1.4.2

Summary

This minor release (V1.4.2) provides a simple manual method for P1P's extrusion compensation calibration and provides a way to input the printer's IP when the printer can not be found on the same local network. It also improves security for network transfer operations and adds some small features.

Extrusion Compensation Calibration for P1P

Our in-house extrusion compensation calibration procedure for the P1P is still in development, but we understand that users are keen to have this function, so as a temporary solution, we have derived the manual flow calibration developed by SoftFever through his fork of BambuStudio. Thanks for making this possible!

Calibration Cube by Voron Design team

Note that P1P firmware needs to be updated to v01.01.01.00.
For the details of calibration, please refer to wiki page

Improvements

1. Network transfer security improvement，Support encryption of data and control command between Printer and Bambu Studio in LAN(needs future Printer firmware version).

2. Added support to input the printer's IP and Access Code when a network error is found.

V1.4.1

Summary

This is a minor release(V1.4.1 Beta), mainly for some important bug fixes of V1.4.0; also we add some small features, such as new tree support style, new P1P process presets, new filament presets, disable some functions when connecting to old printer firmware.

Improvements

1. New Tree Support style.
   We have added a new style of tree support called "Tree Slim", which features an aggressive branch-merging strategy. As a result, a much smaller support volume is generated without sacrificing strength (by automatically increasing the wall count and using smoother branches). Besides, the slicing time is greatly reduced thanks to a new support layer height schedule module, especially with small layer height profiles (try the "0.08mm Extra Fine" profile!).
   
   PS: we learned the initial idea and code of tree support came from Cura a few months ago and we are grateful for that.
2. Disable the unsupported functions when connecting to a Printer with old firmware.
3. Add the process presets of P1P(0.08/0.12/0.16/0.24/0.28...)
4. Add new filaments presets(metal PLA-CF & PAHT-CF)
5. Add logic to prompt upgrading of network plugin
6. Disable smooth timelapse in vase mode

Bug fixes

1. Fix the Print_options/slice_options can not be selected issue on Macos 13.x, #842
2. Network plugins downloading issue on windows 7/8, #852
3. shader load failed on Macos 11.x with m1 processor, #881
4. Change Filaments at Layer no longer functions #843
5. the color picker button display wrong color #849
6. Fix some linux compiling&&startup issues on different kinds of platform, thanks @zhaofengli
7. the selected preset lost issue when re-launch application, #896
8. the filament can not change in object table, #876

v1.4

Summary

Bambu Studio has reached version 1.4 where cool new features like Dark Mode, SVG to Mesh, and OBS live streaming have been added. We have also added full Arachne Algorithm support with a very useful feature that allows support painting only for overhangs. Check out the full list of new fixes and improvements below.

Bambu Christmas Cabin

Merry Christmas from Bambu Lab Team!
Our very talented colleagues designed this beautiful Christmas cabin model, and we pre-loaded the .3mf model in Studio v1.4 as a Christmas gift from Bambu Lab.
The model is pre-sliced for immediate print. Additionally, we provide a tag board print file to personalize your cabin. May your holiday be filled with great prints!
We wish you and your loved ones the happiest of holidays!

Dark Mode #21 #436

By popular demand, Dark Mode for Bambu Studio is here! This mode is turned on based on the settings of your operating system, and darkens the entire interface of Bambu Studio to help release the strain on your eyes.
It's one of our favorite updates, and we hope you enjoy it too.

Support to send a print job to SD card #115 #590 #651 #658

Past versions of Bambu Studio saved the sliced file on the printer's internal storage temporarily. Our customers wanted the possibility of saving the print files on the SD card, so we are happy to announce this option in Bambu Studio V1.4.

After updating Bambu Slicer, you will be able to choose the location of the files to be saved on the internal SD card.

Note: This feature requires printer to be updated to v01.03.00.00, which is coming soon.

SVG to Mesh

In Bambu Studio V1.4 we also introduced support for importing SVG files as a model object. This means that you can take any SVG vector file and load it into Bambu Studio to prepare it for printing without needing to convert it to .STL using other tools.

Support OBS live video

Yes, we know. You want to share a live stream of your webcam and the process of doing that was not very friendly. But in our latest version of Bambu Studio, you can now stream the webcam from your printer directly with OBS. It's available under Device Page > Camera setting > Go Live and the documentation for how to use it is available on our wiki.

We chose OBS because it's a popular streaming service that provides fine control over the stream, meaning that at the same time, you get compatibility with the most popular streaming services. We hope you like it :)

Support Bambu Lab P1P

Bambu Studio v1.4 introduces slicing profiles for the Bambu Lab P1P, so the slicer is now ready to go with your new P1P which should be arriving soon.

Support for slicing all plates at once

One of the attractive features of Bambu Studio is the possibility of splitting your prints into multiple plates for easy management. In Bambu Studio V1.4 we improved this feature and added the capability of slicing all plates at the same time.

Besides that, you can also send all the plates at once to the printer, and save them to the SD card, making things much easier!

Note: Sending all plates requires the printer to be updated to v01.03.00.00, which is coming soon.

Full Arachne support #54 #466

Previous versions of Bambu Studio needed some extra work to ensure that the perimeter generation was correctly working with Arachne, and we are happy to be able to finalize the work on this by adding full Arachne support in V1.4.
This means that the external walls are also sliced with the Arachne Slicing Algorithm in Bambu Studio V1.4.
Added in Process > Quality > Wall Generator

Support painting only for overhangs #401 #431

The support material is used in FDM 3D printing to support the overhanging structures that would not be printable without adding the support material.
In version 1.4 for Bambu Studio, we introduced the option of using the paint tool for support, but paint only the overhanging section of the model. This means that after you enable the "On overhangs only" option, the brush will paint supports only on the sections that actually need it simplifying the process.

This option works in conjunction with the "Highlight overhangs" option where the angle of the overhangs is set.
