The Project menu in Bambu Studio shows Model name as first line of Model information for my project. The wrong name is entered there, but I don’t know where the application keeps it and how I can correct it. It also appears for the print listing on the X1C’s file menu when I send it from Bambu Studio. Please tell me how to edit the Model Name in Bambu Studio. I haven’t been able to find it by searching the Wiki, and that usually means it’s obvious, but it’s not obvious to me. I’m using the latest Mac version of Bambu Studio. I find that help with printing is usually easy to find, but help with parts of the app that aren’t intuitive to me is not. Thanks.
Is it in the list of objects in object view? You can click these (slow double click) to edit them:
Thanks for your reply.
Sorry, that should probably do it, but it doesn’t. In the Mac version you’ll see an item in the Project menu (between Device and Calibration), which is unpopulated unless you open a model from an application such as Fusion, which provides that information. I think the problem is related to the fact that Bambu Studio for Mac has a characteristic that flies in the face of tradition for Mac document based apps, which is that if you close the app’s last window, the app quits. That has always been the default behavior in Windows (AFAIK), but not for Mac. So for an old (literally) Mac user such as myself, there’s a tendency to open an existing document that has typical settings, then make necessary changes. My suspicion is that there is no way to change that information in the interface, so hacking (although quite mild, probably) may be useful.
Because I rarely use files from a modeler that provides this information, I suspect that this issue will need to be submitted as a wish list item. It’s not a major issue, the Bambu Studio app still provides a huge number of features considering that it is provided free of charge. I’ve been trying Shapr3D lately, and because it’s relatively new, I wouldn’t be surprise to see a request to implement the feature for exported files gain quick attention. Thanks again.
Bah, I should have realized when you said project, the project tab. Yeah I’m sure there is a way to manage that in the .3mf file but I don’t think Bambu studio offers it.
However, if you upload your project to the makerworld site the subsequent download will fill in the project section fully, from there one could inspect the xml or whatever markup they use to figure it out I suppose.
Thanks. To clarify, I often start with a project that I’ve downloaded, then customize it. So what I expect to accomplish is to clear away the existing models and other personalization, then replace them with my own without changing certain other various details such as the filament list, print settings, etc. For those reasons, I can’t see a way to accomplish what you have suggested. I can upload to a draft, but I don’t see a way to download what I uploaded in an attempt to change the Project’s model information. I certainly don’t want to change from draft to published at this stage. Am I missing some of the actions I need to perform in order to accomplish that?
However, my greatest grievance with the entire Bambu Lab ecosystem at this moment is how to search for help about details for using the Bambu Studio application. For example, I’d like to know more about the Profile Information feature, but I can’t find anything directly related if I search the Wiki for “Bambu Studio Profile Information”. As a matter of fact, I find better results if I simply use a Google search. But an app should provide better access to information about its use than a Google search can reveal, shouldn’t it (because the results of the Google search are far from robust)? I should create a separate topic for that, I know (and hope to, once I have a better grasp of the issue), but in the mean time it’s a real source of frustration.
I see. I think you just want to forget about the project tab, other than to check a published models instructions / photos / other details. That is what that tab is for and is only useful as such (outside of doing custom editing of the file).
All other settings, from the Prepare and Preview tab that is the ‘bambu studio profile’ I suppose. It is made up of a number of components that will take some time to get used to, I did it rather quickly by simply scouring these forums, reading everything that seemed interesting in that it related to common printing issues, this allowed me to understand the slicer program rather quickly.
To give you a simple breakdown I would say to understand the sections of settings first “Printer | Filament | Process” Each one is its own modular section as laid out in the program, seems like you have started to understand this.
From what I understand the printer settings stay with you, they will never change with a profile download (though the actual printer type may change, the settings therein will not, they relate to YOUR hot-end and other hardware specifics).
I’m not sure on filament settings, I believe they can be exported with a profile if not using a default filament profile. Anyhow that is something to investigate further possibly.
The process settings are the big one that relate to commonly changed print settings.
Anyhow now I think back and you are talking about a specific section of the PROJECT tab. Its for the print profile section of the uploaded project. You upload a model and then a print profile which can have differing descriptions and pictures, that is all there is to it really.
Oh and also, you can upload as private instead of public, that will hide it from everyone else and you can experiment with the project tab that way I believe.
OK. Thanks. I have a few projects uploaded already, but they are pretty much “What you see is what you get”. What I’m working on now is more of a solution which involves mold making, so the instructions and related information are just as important as the files included for printing. I will use your suggestions.
Hi. Just found this because I am using a downloaded profile with my model subbed in and noticed the name displayed on the printer was the original project name then the best I could find to change it was the project tab which appears to be read only. Absolutely not an issue for the print, of course.
The good news is that the 3mf file is a completely open format and the Bambu specific stuff is pretty easy to tease out. I’m already working on some 3mf stuff on a low heat so I’ll see how easy this is to shoehorn in (unless somebody else gets there first). I don’t know why this isn’t easily done in the studio.
