I thinking about purchasing another A1 printer. Are any items to look out for when using Bambu Studio to control both printers at the same time?
Thank You
It is very easy. You simpily just switch back and forth using the dropdown in the top left.
You can only manipulate one printer at a time.
Just like @CincinnatiDesigns said, it is extremely simple. You just have to make sure that your 2+ printers are paired with the device you’re using. I would recommend that you don’t number your printers; it gets annoying and can be downright confusing. (I’ve learned this from experience.) Name them or something, just don’t number them.
Hope you enjoy having more than one printer!
Um no. Numbering is the most straight forward.

Sorry, I just meant in my experience, thanks for calling me out. If numbering them works for you that’s fine, I just don’t have a setup that works numerically.
Sorry for not explaining myself better,
As everyone else has said, it is trivial.
I had one A1 mini, one A1, and four P1S printers. The A1 was returned due to the recall.
So, I have five.
For me, I have then as follows, as the naming of the printers helps you identify which is which.
- A1 mini = Little printer
- P1S = Red
- P1S = Green
- P1S = Blue
- P1S = Green
The ones named after colours are physically located in the standard colour order of red, green, blue and yellow and each has accessories printed in the associated colour.
I may get another A1 mini, if I do, I will likely rename the existing one to give each new colours, or based on physical location, left & right fir example p, as one would be on the left of the other which is one the right.
The point being, name them so you know which is which.
You then relate to them in anything Bambu related based on your naming choices.

Here is a question, Bambu Studio is not seeing the second A1 printer and yes it is on the Wifi. Any ideas
For LAN mode:
On the device
go to settings, network, find the IP address
the same screen will have an “Access code”, find that too - this is functionally the SFTP password to this device
On your computer
bonus points if you know how to ping on your OS, try it out. It shoudl succeed. If not, you are likely experiencing Different Networking Problems©
In the slicer, go to devices, add new, VIA ACCESSCODE (not pin not qr)
Should show up just fine.
For cloud mode:
Someone else will have to fill in, or check out the bambu docs, idk
