To add to this, the file MUST be an STL for this to work. With a 3mf file it will never ever ever ask you to combine them. Good lord this was so frustrating to figure out. Had to go old school back to the STL to make this finally work in Bambu Studio.
Right, so I imported two stl models for miniature figures, one with a base one without. I sliced the base off of one, and want to set the figure on the base. Doesnāt seem like I can.
- When I try āassembleā it puts the base halfway up the figure. Canāt move things in assemble view.
- When I position the figure over the base itās feet are buried. Moving the figure up in the z-axis, only works for a moment, then it drops back down to the plate.
- Saving the base as a separate .stl, then āadd partā ā āloadā brings in the base, but for some crazy reason it is positioned off the plate (under the plate!)
I gave up and āadd partā ā ādiscā and just made a generic looking disk, FTW.
Adding my question here to avoid staring a new thread and this somewhat similar.
Once importing 2 STLs and assembling, is there a way to āsnapā two objects together?
So I want to stack 2 STLs perfectly on top of each other. The issue is that when I use this method, I can drag the second STL to the position, but I canāt get it perfectly flush. So it creates the below line since there is a difference in layer height at that point.
The actual print also shows this line.
The newest 1.9.1 Beta 4 version of Bambu studio has added an assembly tool.
- Added an assembly tool for creating assembly relationships between objects. Currently, face-to-face and point-to-point assemblies have been achieved.

The current beta holds a lot of promise with all the new features seemingly heavily requested and/or useful ones.
Looking forward to its final release.
Itās just a shame they canāt be run side by side. I think itās a Windows limitation with the software that means the same limitation is one the Mac version (I understand).
Iām guessing you mean run the beta and the release version?
You could perhaps run the release version in āPortableā mode?

Sorry, yes, I wasnāt clear, but, your guess was correct.
Iāll take a look.
It takes less than 30 seconds to merge the parts in Microsoft 3D builder, not sure why it is over complicated in BSā¦
When you take 2 parts, place them how you want, select them all and export as STL. The exported part is a merged version.
Thatās a good tip, may come in handy. Cheers.
Just wanted to say with the latest release at least, I am able to import 2 stls, and right click on them in the object tab, and click merge, which adds them to a single assembly, and the slicing does what you would expect.
