'Open in Bambu Studio' Opens in the Wrong Printer

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.

  1. Which printers will this print fit on?
  2. Which printers does user own?
  3. Select appropriate EXISTING printer and never add a printer the user doesn’t own to his/her list of printers.

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.
