Might be a nice printer; I'll never know

I also have the same problems with my Amstrad 464. I have even tried banging the top of the monitor and it still does not work. Come on Bambulab get your act together.

Well, aren’t we “Mr. Cutting Edge”. :wink: You should probably look into upgrading to a Commodore 64. :upside_down_face:

What’s sad is that I remember the Amstrad’s when they came out. I’m pretty sure their keyboards were considered a deadly weapon. :confounded:

Same here, I remember thinking what great technology it was :older_man:

You haven’t tried to be reasonable for a single moment. Especially as a software engineer…

Mainstream support for Windows 7 ended on January 13, 2015 . Extended support for Windows 7 ended on January 14, 2020. In August 2019, Microsoft announced it will be offering a ‘free’ extended security updates to some business users.

Based on your windows attempts I’m assuming that linux slicer issue has nothing to do with OS/software.

People suggested options here as such as running VM or Orca if you refuse to run native software according to vendor requirements (and still complaining about it).

Surprised you haven’t asked for windows nt4 on arm support.

Dear Not Happy,

I’ll buy that boat anchor off of you so you don’t have to look at it any more.

Really wondering what Linux your running to not have the required glibc . Its same one required for prusa slicer and SL3R. Little baffled here as app works great on Linux and on variety of Linux distros. I am in IT and install and support Linux for many of my clients. While I agree ticket wait can be a bit long on somethings. In this case a common lib like glibc I don’t feel is something that is on there end but your OS end personally hate to say it.

Sadly I am experiencing a similar issue, but I am running windows 11
i follewed the instruction to install bambu studio. it gets to the end and says ‘correctly installed’ but the software will not start up. double click on the icon does absolutely nothing. run as administrator does nothing. searched the web and found i need ‘windows media’ installed, however the instruction are for windows 10 and i am on windows 11. I found a ‘windows media legacy’ in the optional windows app and installed, reboot. still nothing happens when i launch the software. Uninstalled ‘windows media legacy’, rebooted, still not working. I am using windows11 Home - version 22H2 - OS build 22621.1778 on a DELL PC with i7 Core - 72 GB RAM.
I contacted the support team, and their answer was “please provide us with a copy of the studio logs. You can find instructions on how to retrieve the logs here: Export the Bambu Studio log | Bambu Lab Wiki” … the instructions at that link says ‘1. Run Bambu Studio, click the “∨” icon, then click “Help” – “Show configuration folder”, you can see the log folder in the pop-up window.’ Now I CANNOT run bambu studio, so no chance to get the log, hence no chance to get help from support. I hope someone else ran into the same problem and can offer some advice. (as a side note, I installed bambu studio on my computer at work, which also run on windows 11 and all is working there, so I have no idea what is wrong)
thanks to anyone who took the time to read this

Check the Windows Event Viewer. An error is typically logged there when an application crashes on startup.

Then your issue is not the same. FWIW, you’d probably get a better response if you create a new thread instead of veering off the original thread topic.

I wondered the same thing as you wootsuit as I happen to do IT and work a lot with Linux. While I had no issues running it from the start. I did long time ago with prusa slicer or was the slr3r (cant recall which) where I needed to install at time a newer glibc which is not a big deal.

I personnaly installed and run Bambu Studio on two of my computer that are on Windows 7 pro 64.
For 3 month I did many prints with many materials without any issue at all.
Only down was my old Thinkpad with only 4gig of ram that was ultra slow! But it’s way under the Bambu recommended specs! However, my 15+ years old gaming rig was ultra fluid and really fast.

Now I’ve just received my new computer that run Win 10 Pro and Bambu Studio still run no flaws exactly like on my old Win 7 rig.

Hi @user_641396999
First thing I’d try is Orca Slicer instead of Bambu Studio. It’s better as a slicer anyway and though unlikely, it might work for you?
In addition, I found this post by another user describing an issue that seems exactly the same as yours. Apparently, repairing the install called “vcredist2019_x64.exe” C++ Runtime fixed it for them.

I’m using Orca now, with no problems. I’d take down my original post if I could, but I can’t and the mods didn’t. It attracted way too much attention.

Price depends on which country you are in.
My X1C with AMS cost $2200 aud.
