I think the script is pretty neat and easy to use once set up. I’ve been using it for the past weeks without issues.

I’ve just created an initial setup script, to streamline everything and hopefully make it easier to understand what to do.

@echo off
setlocal

cd /d %APPDATA%

echo      Bambu Studio Profile Switcher - Setup
echo ==================================================
echo.
echo This setup will create two separate profiles:
echo.
echo   BambuStudioPriv
echo   BambuStudioWork
echo.
echo Your current Bambu Studio profile will be preserved.
echo.
echo IMPORTANT:
echo - Close Bambu Studio before continuing
echo - Do not manually rename any folders during setup
echo.

I’ve tested everything and seem to work fine. :wink:

How to Create an .bat file:

  1. Open Notepad.

  2. Copy the script code and paste it into the empty document.

  3. Click File → Save As…

  4. Change Save as type to All Files (.).

  5. Enter a filename ending in .bat, for example:

    InitialSetup.bat

  6. Save the file to a convenient location such as your Desktop.

  7. Double-click to start the .bat file

Hey, thanks for the reply. I got it to work. I removed the BambuStudioWork folder and used your modified script.

This is probably obvious, this is how it’s working for me but just to confirm I’m doing this right, I close Bambu studios down, run the profile switcher .bat file, enter y to confirm switching profile, then open Bambu Studios again.

I have an A1 at home under my personal account and an H2C at work under a company account. Please allow Bambu Studio and Bambu Handy to securely retain multiple accounts and provide an account switcher without requiring logout and reauthentication. Combining these printers under one account is not appropriate because company and personal ownership must remain separate.

I recently bought my 10 year old son a P1S and It’s such a headache swapping accounts that I’ve ended up just connecting his Printer to mine on mine so he can use it from his PC & I can help him setting up slicing etc, this really needs to be a thing. Even if that means having 2FA enabled for extra security before allowing it.
