I created a simple cylinder and selected the Cut tool. From there I selected Add Connectors and added a threaded connector. It worked fine the first time. However, now I cannot get the Add Connector functionality to work at all. I am using the same settings/sizes I used the first time, but now it does not add the connector. When I look at the object list I can see no thread is created. I tried using different connectors/dropping and recreating the cylinder/opening and closing Bambu studio. Nothing seems to work. Any ideas?
Steps to reproduce:
Add Cylinder primitive.
Select Scale and set x, y, z to 90mm.
Select Cut.
From Cut tool select Add Connectors.
In Add Connectors set Depth Ratio to 10MM and Size to 87mm. Make sure the “Middle of Geometry” box is selected. You should see the threads on the cylinder at this point.
Click the Confirm Connectors button.
Click the Perform Cut button. You cylinder should now be cut in half with threads visible on the bottom half. Under objects in the left hand pain you should also see “Cut connectors” under each cylinder half.
As I mentioned above this worked fine the first time I did it. However, I can no longer get Bambu Studio to add connectors to any primitive. Seems like a bug. Would be curious if this works for anyone else after their first attempt.
Same here! It was great to discover the Thread socket facility, but then disappointing to find you can only ever use it once and then it won’t work after that. I even tried uninstalling Bambu Studio and installing the Windows Beta. Still no luck - it won’t let me create a thread socket. It goes through the steps fine, but on the final cut nothing shows (or prints).
After many attempts, I was finally able to add a thread connector! I moved it around a bit and flipped it from one part to the other. At some point, it stopped being transparent, and when I confirmed it then, the connector was added correctly.
So, it might not actually be a bug, but rather a not very intuitive flow for adding thread connectors.
This was confusing me too. You must first click and select the transparent connector on the part till it becomes solid, then click confirm connector, it should now show when you cut the part. Most of us just selected middle of geometry expecting it to be there, but you must still click on the connector on the part to place it.
Okay, figured out a work around for this bug. Turn off “Middle of Geometry” Try again. This fixed for me. Same thing for me worked fine in previous versions but version 2.8.2.61 is giving me this bug. Works fine the first time and then never again. Connectors are transparent and after clicking confirm there is no connectors present. You won’t be able to perfectly center your connectors.
