Bug with Profiles

Bambu Lab Software
1

I have been dealing with alot of issues that turned out to be hardware related, how ever while dealing with this, i got to play around more with profiles, and this made me question my sanity.

Within Prepare, in the Filament section, I have a drop down menu of pre-made, and when done, home made profiles for PLA. I can scroll to the bottom and pick “Add/Remove Filaments” or simply click the Cog on the right. This least me to a sub menu presenting me with System Filaments and then a host of Filament Types from a tick/untick system, with a similar system for Vendors below, then the section is split by a greenline showing all the “selected” profiles.

So the issue here is, i dont, and i will never in my life us 80 to 90% of these profiles, and i would like to not see them in the drop down menu.

Then i proceed to press confirm, and this is where all the magic happens.
By magic i mean nothing, this does nothing.

After pressing confirm, i can check the drop down menu and it will still have all the profiles listed.

By going back into the Filaments Cog menu, i can indeed confirm, not a single change has happend. Everything is back to where it was.

My friend has confirmed that his BambuStudio indeed behaves in the same way.

This is of course thing but an annoying bug or feature, depending how you look at it, but i wanted to point it out, as being a person that likes to minimize and organize, the is annoying, when it seems this was not how it was intended.

Have fun out there, enjoy printing!

You have remove some filaments from the filter section aplied to display the different available filaments, those are not really the filaments loaded.

You have to click on the CLEAR ALL button and then select, in the lower part of the dialog, only the filaments you want to be displayed/used in Bambu Studio.

So let me repeat back to you that scenario from a different angle.

  1. You have a free piece of software from a company that has already pushed their “lock-you-into-my-ecosystem” agenda with comparisons that they draw themselves to wanting to be like Apple.

  2. You go into said software and uncheck all of the competitors filaments.

  3. You then go back to the live version and low and behold, said company who is engaging in such proprietary practices won’t let you delete their products from the default menu.

Huh??? Who woulda thought??? :laughing:

Amazing, that actually worked, giving it no logical sense once again.
Thank you.
