Well it looks like those of us who do not want to upgrade to the (dumb) authorization control will lose use of bamby handy anyway…

So they are locking everyone out or rather, it’s only a matter of time until the 3mf’s on the app will no longer work.

Before anyone comments it, yes I know they can do this, it is their company, the criticism is and always has been that this is a just lock in, and that is a crappy thing to do to your customers. If it was really about security there are many ways to do this without a cloud-based server check.

3MF files generated by version 2.0 can only load geometry data in older versions of Bambu Studio.

Isn’t it just saying that it can only load geometry data?

As in if your new BS2.0 3mf contains new settings, it’ll only load the models etc?

That Note says nothing about Handy.

I expect that old (<2.0) and new (>2.0) .3mf files selected on MakerWorld and printed from Handy will continue to be cloud-sliced by the Bambu servers and sent directly to the printer - Studio is not involved.

Old Bambu project files loaded in new versions of Studio show all the project settings, just as they do in old versions of Studio.

New Bambu project files loaded in old versions of Studio will only show the geometry data, as the note says.

I model in Shapr3D and export the file as a 3MF and then load into Bambu Studio. I did the latest update and suddenly I am getting this error

“the 3mf was generated by an old version of Bambu studio, loading geometry data only”

the file didnt come from Bambu in the first place so I am not sure why I am seeing this. any thoughts???

3MF is a very general format to which Studio adds its own project data, mainly to facilitate Makerworld.

It’s unlikely that your 3MF file from Shapr3D contains anything but geometric data, so just ignore the warning.

Or export in .step or .stl format, which will not generate a warning.
