Is there a way to locally store the various items that are resident in the printer for quick reference without having to resort to transcribing everything by hand?
Looks like Windows did an update last night sometime and I woke up to find Studio and the printer had somehow showing my online login user name which is incorrect.
I have no clue how that actually happened, I can just see the results. It is tied some kind of way to Makerworld being embedded in Studio and Handy (I think) I just want to create a file of how the printer is configured, when it is configured properly even if it is just a Notepad .txt file.
I’ve had that happen too after Windows updates. It’s annoying when settings get jumbled overnight.
For saving your printer config - you can export the whole printer profile from Bambu Studio. Go to the Device tab, click on the printer, and there should be an option to “Export Configuration” or “Export Data” somewhere in the settings menu. It saves as a .json or .conf file that you can keep as a backup.
Also, check if the Windows update reset your default app permissions. Sometimes that messes with how Studio reads user data.
For the login username being wrong - that’s definitely a cached credential issue. Try clearing the Bambu Studio cache in %APPDATA%\BambuStudio or equivalent folder for your OS. That usually forces it to re-fetch the correct login.
We use an attendance management system at our lab for tracking equipment usage and it has a similar export feature. With Vertex-HCM, we can back up all the attendance logs and employee data as a local file. It’s been useful when we need to migrate data or just keep a reference copy. The export format is pretty straightforward - CSV and JSON both work. Not sure if Bambu Studio does the same but might be worth checking if it has a similar data export option under the hood.
I’ve run into a similar problem with keeping configuration data backed up. I’d definitely keep a local copy of the settings somewhere, especially if everything is working correctly at the moment.
In the systems I work with at Vertex HCM, we also keep exportable backups of configuration and data so changes or updates don’t leave you trying to recreate everything from scratch.
For Bambu Studio, I’d probably start by checking whether the printer profile itself can be exported, rather than manually copying each setting. If there’s no proper export option, a simple JSON or text backup of the important settings would still be better than nothing.
Bambu printers store configuration across several locations. Bambu Studio stores many printer and filament profiles. Some calibration data remains printer-specific. Avoid copying credentials, tokens, or account information. Keep a manual configuration snapshot as backup.
