azCub76,
As it turns out. That process does not appear to be working well for me. Which is the reason for me attempting brain surgery on the JSON files directly. So I went down a rabbit hole to try to find out why each time I make a change, my changes would not persist between sessions. I finally stumbled upon one item worth discussing here if anyone has any insights.
As it turns out, I completely forgot the little question that pops up “Do you want to sync your personal dat from the Bambu Cloud”.
That only comes up the first time you log in so I long forgot about it. At any rate, I kept a window open with the USER setting folder on another monitor. I had already deleted all the files only to see them magically reappear in what was an empty folder. This was reproducible 100% of the time. After logging out and severing my connection with the internet and then restarting Bambu Studio. The folder remained empty. Once I logged in, it repopulated the settings from the cloud. So the work around was to log log out and then log in and say no to syncing the settings. However, this is annoying since it prompts me each time I start up to initialize Bambu Studio asking for me to go through the setup process. This is more of an annoyance than anything else because I prefer Orca Slicer over Bambu Studio anyway. Although I may end up switching back to Studio based on some of the things I’m seeing in the beta version of Studio 1.7.
This weekend when I have more time I will try to completely uninstall Bambu Studio and reinstall it on another machine just to see if the setting persist. But if anyone has any theories as to why I cannot get settings to persist between sessions, I’d love to hear it. In my experience, they keep switching back to the defaults which is why I stated that I went down this rabbit hole to begin with. I’d love to just have the software work as one would expect it to.
