Help transferring user presets to new machine

Bambu Lab P1 Series Troubleshooting
1

Hello all, I’m having an issue I’m hoping someone can help me with.

Today I installed the P1 enclosure kit on my P1P. I checked the box in the app and on the machine for the kit so that’s fine.

Now when I go to slice, I get a warning “The printer type selected when generating G-Code is not consistent with the currently selected printer”. So, I created a new printer in the system as a P1S. The warning goes away but now I have lost all my print and filament user presets. I have over a dozen print profiles and over 60 tuned filament ones. It seems they are tied to the machine itself and not the user.

Is there any way to transfer them to the new P1S profile? It would be a crazy amount of work to have to re-enter all that info.

I tried the export/import option but its only for the standard profiles, not user ones.

thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

I am a new P1S user. Idk the correct solution. After seeing your post i made a search in user folders (windows 10). It looks like They are stored in this folders.
C:\Users\YOUR USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\BambuStudio\user\A NUMBER

That number is probably ID assigned to my printer. Under that folder there are 3 more folders. Filaments, Machine, Process. My preset are stored in those accordingly. I do not know what “machine” folder for. It was empty.

You might have more than folders with different numbers. The numbered folder which has no files in it should be your new printer (P1S). Try copying the three folders in to this one. The name of the profiles are like this Microzey PLA Pro @Bambu Lab P1S 0.4 nozzle. Probably yours have P1P that you may need to rename all.

If you do not have any other numbered folder then BS might be ignoring your profiles as they contain P1P in their names. Make a back up of all your profiles in to a new safe folder and rename your old profiles in the numbered folder by replacing P1P with P1S.

Like i said, I am new to BL and as you ask for any help. This is my shot at it. Until someone replies this will be something you can try.

PS:If you use Mac, you need to make a search yourself. Idk Mac folder structure, but it should be similar.

You can add your new printer directly in to the files. It’s isn’t pretty and it isn’t an elegant solution but it should save you a lot of time.

Sorry, I was hoping if it worked in Orca it would work in Studio too. I wish they would change the way filament and process settings are handled in both.
