I have a suggestion for switching printers in Bambu Studio. I have two printers and I want to buy another one in the future. I design a lot and I often switch between printers to print several parts of the same model at the same time. Currently, to switch the printer I have to make 8 clicks, which takes way too much time.
While on the prepare tab, I click: Device tab - my device - select printer - Prepare tab - synchronize filament - overwriting - synchronize now - OK.
It could be done more simply. After clicking on printer on icon on this image,
I just open multiple processes of Bambu Studio. thy don’t really take up that much resources if they aren’t the active process. I associate each instance with a different printer.
IMO this isn’t a viable workaround unless you leave a computer on 24/7 and keep 3 instances open; even then, you need to click through your instances to know which one is connected to the right printer.
+1 OP, I print enough on different machines for this to be frustrating enough to come out here and find a post about this. It seems arbitrary to have to switch printers on two different pages, but even more so, having to overwrite the filament every time for each machine. It makes way more sense (in my mind) to have the filament config tied to the printer. I shouldn’t have to “resync” the filaments when I switch between printers when the filament that’s physically in the printers hasn’t changed.
Amen to that. I have 3 printers going most of the time and every time I sync/overwrite I scream in my head there has to be a better way. I support making the filament auto sync to the selected printer in the PREPARE tab. It makes so much sense.
