One issue is that only 1 account can exist on the printer at a time. As a result, my partner cannot print a project remotely which is a huge shame. That’s fine if you’re one person but very inconvenient because the file needs to be sent to me to manually load under my account. This would be a very easy fix and a great sale feature.

+1 single user only is the single biggest limitation we still have with this otherwise amazing printer

So I have access to a printer at home and a printer at work.
Obviously the printer at work has its own user different than mine, so… Is there a way to use works printer without logging out of my home printer?

I would like to have this ability as well. I would like to have a setting to be able to approve prints that are sent to the printer before they start. Something though the handy app that I would need to click. This would be a huge help for school settings and having some ability to keep an eye on what is being printed as well as allowing the full use of the printer through student accounts and printing via cloud with Studio

Adding to this, I’d love to share my home printer with my wife so that we each have our own account, since I used Google login to log into BambuLab, so she can use her own Google account. Is this possible somehow?

I guess, the ability to share a printer with another Bambu account would be the way to go. Should be easy to implement. Countless devices and ecosystems do it that way, particularly in the smart home sector.

Yep, I do this with my Glowforge, it’s very convenient. For example, I have access to my GF at home and at a local maker space, lots of other people can access the maker space glowforge, and my wife can also access the home GF. So we each have our own files, history, etc. Of course, for the GF to start a “print” you have to press a big button on the laser cutter to start the laser, you can’t just start a print job remotely, so there’s no danger of different people’s prints colliding. Bambu would need to work out a mechanism for coordinating between people…
Let’s hope Bambu implements this soon…

+1 here too. I bought this for our lab at work. I was a bit surprised by the limitation of single user on a printer.

It is not only the limitations to only one user, but also the absolute ridiculous limitation on naming filament brands and types of filaments and syncing them the the AMS.
We should be able to print multimaterial - ie. ex a PLA body with bearing material. Parts like these should be possible to print in Bambulab, and we should be able to print override things

Both I and my son uses the X1C, and I really wish we could without logging in and out all the time

It should really be implemented quite quickly. It’s absolutely weird that you can’t have multiple users using one printer I can’t really see myself ordering another one just so my partner can use the printer. Software and Hardware wise this should be a simple solution and fits with the -it just works- philosophy of Bambu Labs.

I do not think enabling multiple accounts on a 3D printer is a good or even feasible approach to those needs.
I would suggest a sharing model: the „owner“ of the printer (i.e. the account to which the printer is linked) should be able to grant access to his printer to other Bambu accounts. What works for Teslas or Apple Homes should work for printers as well.

Given the release of the X1E as an enterprise targeted system. This feature will certainly need to be released alongside it. No company wants to share login credentials or have to relink their printer to different accounts 10 times a day.

need multiple accounts on one printer too… using three Bambus in a design college lab with multiple Students… the printers are free to use for a bigger group (20+ people) …
