I got my P1S yesterday and wasted the entire evening trying to get Bambu Studio the let me log in.
Searched far and wide but none of the ‘solutions’ like fixing the Windows Media Player worked,
In case other new users struggle, here is what finally worked for me:
YOU NEED Microsoft Edge and the corresponding Webview installed and able to get through the firewall!
Bambu Studio conveniently ignores whatever you have as the default browser and ONLY accepts Edge for the web related content.
The issue will be obvious if you check the online models in the app and get no preview either, just a white space.
The old trick of changing languages was fixed with a new version of the software.
For the 1.8 it is the Egde/Webview issue…
It would be nice if Bambu Lab would specify all the hidden requirements to get going, preferably in the form of a printed manual coming with the machine.
Cloud services are great - for some, for the rest it means having to be online and never really knowing what happens to your data.
Yes, you can go without cloud but why not have this option from the start ?
It seems Bambu goes the same direction as Meta with their VR headset - no chance without account AND verification.
YES, it makes sense to check for firmware updates…
But something like a 3D printer SHOULD work OUT OF THE BOX.
Can’t setup the machine without a phone that has QR capabilities and an internet connection.
Can’t use the desktop software without first having an account.
And if you then finally get to the point and the software only give you a white page…
Having to use Windows does not mean EVERY user agrees to have Edge installed on their system…
Thanks for your help.
I did not have any issues with day one setup but after about a week I could no longer access the online models page in the desktop app and after about another week I had some issues connecting to my printer (just a bad wifi connection) I tried logging out and then back in to see if it could reconnect but I just got a blank white screen. WebView was blocked in my firewall so this was very helpful. Bambu’s wiki says to make sure that the Bambi Studio is allowed network access… which wasn’t even what was causing the issue.
Just like you said it would be better is they actually said all the requirements.
It would actually be sufficient if Bambu would just list the environmental requirements for Studio.
Even if it just a pop up during the installation telling you that vital things Studio needs don’t work - like a blocked Edge or Webview.
Studio is like a modular box.
For many things ‘plugins’ are used while almost all of it is web based.
HTML and JSON files do the configuration.
It is very common these days for programmers to include very little in their apps while relying on what is a standard installation by MS terms.
In the old days we had programs like ‘dependency walker’.
A bit like the process explorer only that you can click on a program and got to see what it needs.
DLL files, libraries and all.
Let’s hope Bambu provides a meaningful pop up or message one day when things don’t work for the user.
I had the same problem, and I solved it by going to: Arow down upper left corner, preference (ctrl+P), then choose language. Chose English. Mine where empty.
Then I was able to log in.
could someone please describe how to be to login to bambu studio?
In a very simple maner, when pressing login buiton within the app, a blank screen just pop up
it´s very frustatiting spending time with this instead of printing…
Open Bamboo Studio, then press Ctrl+P to open Preferences and choose your language. Wait a few seconds for the language to reload. After that, the issue with the blank page should be resolved. You can then try logging in.
