I also cannot change the Text itself, but i can delete (right click) and then apply a new Text to main Object. i I can manipulate the existing Text, change Position, Orientation, Size and many more.

I just downloaded the new Public Beta 1.5 with the hopes that this editing issue had been addressed, especially since the new version added new TEXT wrap-around features. I found that there IS now a new “Edit Text” menu choice but it is DISABLED. I was very disappointed that this issue doesn’t seem to work in the new Beta version. I’ve also been working with the SoftFever forked version. Now that there is an “Edit Text” button available, does anyone think the “forked” version could “Enable” this Button/Feature?
Well, I’m still trying to get the hang of the new “Text” feature in the new beta version, but I have now figured out that even though I can’t “Edit Text” of a previously created model in the Studio Production version 1.45, if I delete the text box and recreated it again in the new 1.5 Beta version, the new “Edit Text” button is then enabled and works with the newly created text. I wish it could “Edit” previously created text models but, at least, I now see that if I add any new text using the new Beta version, I can later EDIT that text without having to delete it and start over! THANK YOU, BAMBU LABS STUDIO programming team!
This is sad. I searched for a method to edit text, but found nothing. Now I use the last beta.
software project description
Well, unfortunately, after I wrote the above comments stating that I COULD re-edit a “Text” phrase, I found out that the re-edit ONLY worked as long as I had not “SAVED” the project and exited. Once I exited and reloaded the project, the “edit text” button is disabled again. I had hopes that this might be fixed in the new version 1.5.0.60 but, alas, it is still not working. Bambu programmers, PLEASE fix this in the next version!

I change its Type to a Negative Part to get embedded. Not sure that is the right way but it works for me.
Can you explain to me how to do this? sorry i’m prety new with this

Not a problem. I consider myself pretty new to all of this as well.
Set the “Thickness” slightly above the embedded depth you eventually want to set your text. Place on the object as you normally do…
Then on the left side of the window, click on “Objects”.
Find your “text shape” and right click it for the menu and then select “Change Filament” and select a contrasting color for the text. (This is done to make it easier to place it in the next step. The color will go away once we change its Type.)
(Shortcut: To change the color of an object, simply click on the colored rectangle to the right of it and a menu of the current color filament will appear for you to select.)
Now that you have changed its color. Right click on your “text shape” again and select “Change Type”…
Now select “Negative Part” from the menu and hit “OK”.
Your text will now turn semi-transparent which denotes it is a Negative Part…
Now select the text so only it is highlighted and not the part.
Now you can move it around and embed it into your part. If the text completely disappears, that means its inside the part which is not what you want.
Once you have it embedded, click on “Slice Plate” to see the results. If you don’t like it, go back to “Prepare” and keep working at it.
That’s all there is to it. Let me know if that works for you or if you have any other questions.

This is a great write up!
One suggestion to maybe make things a little easier – while using the surface checkbox, use the “embedded depth” to set how “deep” the text is on the surface.
In this case, the thickness doesn’t matter.
When you then change the type to negative part, the embedded depth will be taken into account to cut into the surface. This way you can position the text on the surface, but then not bother “moving it” into the surface, but relying on the embedded depth instead.
hello. Is there a way to place precisely a text on an object ? Like with object coordonates ?
THANK YOU!!! Just learnt this now made a big difference!
Nice work, but just a tiny correction in your ritual there.
“Change type” is already available in the right-clicked menu in the objects tab. No need to change filament first. It’s even there in your screenshot
I don’t know if anything changed in an update that the OP didn’t get to respond to yet, but you can also see in your screenshot that “edit text” is available.
What I tend to do to edit text is select the object in the objects tab as shown above and then just click the text option like you were making a new text in the top menu here:
However, there is another problem that happens when you change a text input or font or size. It reverts back to wherever the first position you originally clicked and loses all changes made to position and orientation.I reported on it in a reply to this post:
Unfortunately I am finding this editing not capable with the bambu slicer. There’s a wonderful fun I got to search for another project I don’t know what this one’s called. I do a lot of my lettering and prusa slicer. Save the file is PR and then resave it as BL or bambu lab so I can always get back to it in the proof of slicer and edit the text. I know it’s not a fix for your question but it’s a get around that I use
Are you folks still not able to edit text?
Why not? I’m doing it right now.
Version 1.8.4.51
Add text - do the setting thing and place it.
change it’s colour etc.
save the file.
open the file
in object mode select the text.
select the T from the toolbar and the text box comes up allowing you to edit it.
The text tool desperately requires left & right justifying options in addition to the default centre justified option.
Without those, the real advantages for this tool are limited to basic ‘place it and hope’, no real layout of multiple text fields is achievable as everything being centred isn’t common.
Thanks! Saved me the hassle of redoing the text from scratch.
