ditto here,
To remove the additional printers, I selected —Select/Remove printers (system presets) ---- from the printer drop down, select All of the Bambu Printers, Save it.
Go back in again, Clear All and then just select the one you want, click Save.
So far its worked me.
This does not work on my side when switching from a A1 to the P1S and back. With every switch I again have to select my custom print settings and each filament type again and again. I would really love Bambu Lab to fix this.
I’m having this issue too. IMHO “open in bambu studio” should just open the model, include the makers recommended settings and that’s it.
It should not be adding printer profiles to my list, especially for printers I don’t even own.
Can we please get an option added to prevent adding printers to bambu studio when using the “open in Bambu studio” option please?
Maybe its somehow different between downloading and opening the file manually and using open in bambu studio but I always simply download the profile and open it manually.
The result is that whatever printer the .3mf was setup for is ADDED to my list of printers and selected to be used.
This is an obvious bug. I don’t own that printer, it should not be in my list! And unless I only own a ‘small’ printer and I have downloaded a profile for a large printer would there be an issue.
So, that is how it needs to be addressed.
Adding a printer the user doesn’t own leaves the users with a minor annoyance when they setup all the print settings and press print ‘you don’t have that printer’, I guess based on other users comment this is minor when you only own one printer but gets more complicated when you have multiple.
I can see why this is confusing, it was for me when I started this whole thing.
You are downloading the 3MF which contains all the settings set by the creator including the printer it was originally configured for.
Temporary Printer entry
The associated printer is added temporarily, it is not added permanently and it does not change any information related to your account. It goes away when you swap to a different model.
It is included as it is part of the settings that make up the model, it gives you information that will allow you to modify it for your printer.
I imagine you expected to receive the download pre-sliced to your printer and inside Bambu Studio.
Bambu Handy vs Bambu Studio
I do not believe this is the intent as Bambu Studio is considered the pro experience of the basic one from Bambu Handy.
Bambu Handy will take models with appropriate profiles and when you choose your printer, it will simply print to your chosen printer.
Bambu Studio assumes you are capable of making some changes yourself.
Opinion
I can’t speak to which approach is better than the other.
This isn’t my experience at all. If I close Bambu studio and open it again, the printer it added from the 3mf file is still there, regardless of what model is selected.
I did this, but there was unfortunately no change in Bambu Lab’s behaviour. Th next model I spend from Makerworld opened as a Bambu Lab A1 mini 0.4 nozzle, and no the X1 Carbon 0.4 nozzle that I actually have.
just tried this, worked for me thank you
This issue has been driving me nuts as a new user of Bambu Studio after recently buying a A1 printer. I was totally expecting Bambu Studio to open the project file with the A1 profile selected on the site. When manually changing to the correct printer I always get confused about the prompt im given about changing settings. Should I keep them or discard them? As a new user with very little knowledge this is a huge flaw in the “beginner friendly” ecosystem for bambu lab. And why even give the option to provide/choose printer profiles on makerworld if Bambu Studio doesnt open the file with the selected profile choosen that matches your printer? Bambu Handy does this the correct way as stated before in this thread, but i prefer to use the Studio app and it should be the same for both
This forced me to spend more time learning slicer settings so I could make adjustments myself easier. Which is a good thing I guess. But im more of a advanced user in the learning process which doesnt bother investing time in learning more. For a user who only wants to print and dont learn more about the slicing process its a very frustrating issue
I seem to have the exact same issue:
I click A1 then click “Open in bambu Studio”
But when it opens - it always picks P1S:
So then I change it to my only printer… the A1
But when I pick the A1 it gives me this menu about changed settings and I have no idea what to pick… I normally just Discard Modified Value becuase I don’t want to overwrite anything - but I think that just defaults all my settings and changes it from printing as the designer intended.
How on earth do I fix this???
There is nothing to fix, this is not a bug.
When a designer creates a profile they have to select a printer, say P1S, and then make all the tweaks to settings and then upload it, MW will then mark this profile as compatible with X1C, A1 etc
In MakerWorld you come along and select A1 compatible profiles. The P1S profile is listed which you download. That is the P1S profile the designer created so obviously opens as a P1S profile in Bambu Studio, this has nothing to do with what printers you have, it is merely a profile as uploaded by the designer.
All you need to do is switch the profile to A1 and then click “transfer settings” which will copy all the customisations made by the designer into the A1 profile which you can then print in your A1 which you select in the print dialog.
If you print directly from Bambu Handy, it will do the transfer automatically.
There is no “transfer settings” button.
There is Save Modified Value, Discard Modified Value, and Use Modified Value
Sorry, I believe they changed the terminology at some point.
“Use Modified Value” is the option you want.
Appreciated - I will test that out!
Also worked for me, thanks you very much.
In the end it is a mess, a giant mess adding new printer profiles for printers you do not have etc…
Also “open in Bambu studio” - this option should take stl or 3mf or step and open it - not loading print profiles published there no additions in it - would be nice to get. but it doesn’t
I rarely download something on MW just because of that. It always overrides my settings adding new print profiles & printers. When I do not check them and set them back as I want have need result is a shitty print.
So if you need something from MW be sure to use option “download stl cad files” all the time. anything else most probably will make a mess of your settings.
This view is incorrect. As described by @nadnerb33 in 'Open in Bambu Studio' Opens in the Wrong Printer - #32 by nadnerb33 you simply need to switch to your printer and transfer settings.
Your settings and customizations aren’t overridden - the settings and customizations are ones the designer made. There’s nothing preventing you from applying your customizations (or switching to non-modified settings) back.
Yes that is the problem instead of getting the file and keep our preferences and printer setting we do not - we need to select those again after the file is loaded.
I argue that’s not a problem - that’s by design, so that the creator’s settings are prioritized.
The way around that would be a setting that would enable a dialog window BEFORE applying the settings so advanced users could compare creator’s profile with their own and only apply the settings that make sense (i for one always change grid infill to something else)
That I believe could be a feature request (here or on github) to BambuSlicer and OrcaSlicer.
