Did something change in Bambu Studio regarding type recently?

I made a golf trophy with customizable text about a year ago and uploaded it to MakerWorld Golf Trophy with Crown - add your own text!

I have printed dozens of them myself, and hundreds of others have printed it successfully as well.

Recently I’ve been getting reports of problems adjusting the text, which I have confirmed- as soon as any part of the text is modified, it no longer sits flush on the surface, and starts warping randomly around the different surfaces.

Previously the text would stay in the same place, the words could be replaced, and at most you’d have to adjust character spacing to make everything fit. Now, it seems like all heck has broken loose and I CANNOT for the life of me figure out what the problem is!

Attached are screenshots of how it normally looks plus what it often looks like once something is adjusted. Can someone please take a look and see if they can help me with this? I tried deleting the text entirely and adding new text, the same thing happens. I tried it in Orca Slicer as well, that won’t even let me edit the text at all since it was created in Bambu Studio.

I’m pulling my hair out here! Someone please rescue me! :heart:



Check ‘horizontal text’ as well and it should come out as you expect.

The UI changed here and also the defaults changed so that is likely what is giving you issues.

Thanks- I had tried that, but it doesn’t work. You can’t have ‘horizontal surface’ and ‘surface’ checked at the same time, and it does this:

That’s weird, perhaps it has to do with a newer version (I haven’t updated in a few months since I can’t tolerate things breaking).

But on 1.9.7.52 I was able to select both:

YES!! THAT’S IT! It is a bug in 10.1.50!:
[Can no longer select both Surface and Horizontal text in the edit text menu · Issue #5308 · bambulab/BambuStudio · GitHub]

As you said it still worked in 1.9.7.52 so something broke along the way. The new 1.10.2 public beta has sort of fixed this, it allows for surface and horizontal text to be selected at the same time, but if the previous text used both, new text has to be generated to replace the old text. Not ideal, but maybe it will just work work in the official release.

THANK YOU! You really made my day. I’m going to update my MakerWorld post to let people know they can use an older version or the new beta as w workaround.

Glad I could help and of course it was a team effort, good job finding the root cause!
