Summary

This is a major release (V1.7.0 Public Beta) mainly adds some features, improvements, and fixes based on user feedback.
This version has incorporated many features from OrcaSlicer and the community. We try to annotate each item as much as possible. If anything is missed, everyone is welcome to point it out. Once again, thank you for the outstanding contributions from the community.

Add Flow Dynamic calibration and Flow rate calibration for BambuLab Printers.

Usually these calibrations are unnecessary, the normal print will have a good result in most cases by using the default parameters which were pre-calibrated and fine tuned. Please refer to the wiki or video1 and video2 for detailed introduction and steps.

Support skipping some models during printing. #788 #1244 #1283 #1485 #1489 #1541

3mf/.gcode.3mf files generated from this version, can be used for parts selectable skipping on the printer side. Single-material printing is required and less than 64 objects per plate. Please update the printer firmware to V01.06 as well.

Device model file browsing and printing

Manage model files on printers through Studio and initiate printing. Please update the printer firmware to X1 V01.06 as well.

Mesh boolean #993 #1156

Boolean operations are now supported in Bambu Studio. With the latest Mesh Boolean tool, you can either make Union, Difference (Subtraction) or Intersection between 2 parts. However, please be noted that mesh boolean itself is a complicated topic, even for profesional CAD softwares. It may fail on some meshes, including the builtin "Cone" model. We are working to enhance the stability of these operations.

this function is based on mcut, thanks to all the contributors of mcut

Supports more third-party printers profiles #730 #227 #628 #738

Supports more third-party printers profiles, including Anker, Anycubic, Creality, Elegoo, Prusa, Qidi, Voxelab;also support third-party printer's preview/calibration and a lot of slicing settings.

This function is ported from OrcaSlicer, thanks to @SoftFever and all the contributors from the community.

Improvements

  1. Liveview Enhancement for P1P.
    This version of Bambu Studio implements support for the new firmware feature we previously introduced with the P1P, where liveview is now supported from outside the local network. This means that you can now access the camera from anywhere in the world, directly from Bambu Studio.
    Please update the printer firmware to V01.04 as well.

  2. Liveview in LAN only mode (X1) #1372
    We have received multiple requests from our customers in regard to having liveview available in LAN only mode. The latest firmware for X1 series combined with the latest version of Bambu Studio introduces support for accessing the video from the printer locally, without requiring an internet connection.
    Please note that when the printer is set in LAN only mode, you will not have access to the liveview stream from Bambu Handy.
    Please update the printer firmware to V01.06 as well.

  3. Support Dark Mode for Linux systems.
    We know a lot of our customers love Dark Mode. To ensure Bambu Studio has the same features on all platforms, this version introduces support for Dark mode for Linux systems.

  4. Add developer mode to view and edit more parameters. A lot of parameters is ported from OrcaSlicer or ported from PrusaSlicer. Thanks!

  1. Support coloring under the Assembled view Tab
  1. Support to display the "Filament Auto refill information" of Printer from "Device" or "Sent to Print".
  1. Support Bambu transparent Filament
    Transparent materials can be viewed in 3D view and at the beginning of slicing in preview
  1. Improved the rotation angle experience in the coloring tool.
    Select the object and enter the coloring tool, then rotate the camera. If the camera is rotated horizontally, the model will rotate horizontally; If the camera is rotated vertically, the model will rotate vertically.
9. Optimize the travel paths of printing artifacts with multiple colors to reduce the printing time.

  1. Optimize the performance of the top one wall function to reduce slicing time

  2. Add concentric ironing pattern

  3. Add setting to change internal solid infill pattern

  4. Add only one wall function for the first layer

  1. Switch the default z hop type in printer preset from spiral to auto lift to save printing time

  2. Change the default wall generator to be arachne, and change the wall default wall loop to be 3.
    Attention: only one wall on top surface has conflicts with arachne, so it's disabled when enable arachne. It will be fixed in the future.

  3. Show Overhang area in "3D Prepare Tab" #1616
    Support displaying the overhang area of a model directly in the "3D Prepare Tab" by Menu->View->Show Overhang

  1. Support naming the plate #618
    You can customize the name of a plate by clicking the "Edit Plate Name" button on the top side of the plate, or by right-clicking on the selected plate and select "Edit Plate Name", or by clicking on the right-click menu of the left plate and select "Edit Plate Name".
    This function is ported from OrcaSlicer, thanks to @SoftFever for the initial implementation.
  1. Display the number of selected parts when multiple objects selected

  2. Enhances print stability by alternating the direction of grid infill paths between layers.

  1. Re-add the function "Fill bed with instances"

  2. Add 3 benchmark models by right click menu. Thanks @thrutheframe, @ Creative Tools, @kickstarter-autodesk-3d. Idea to add these benchmark and function is from OrcaSlicer. Thanks!

  1. Mesh boolean from right-click menu
    Thanks to @PrusaSlicer for developing the function "Export to STL to subtract negative meshes". We have further improved its stability and functions. You could now perform this by right-clicking the part and select "Mesh boolean" from the menu. A segment of a part can be carved out through intersections with negative parts. On the other hand multiple positive parts can be merged into single part. In addition, we disabled the implicit boolean operation in the "Export as STL" to avoid confusion. "Exporting as STL" now exports the model as it is.
  1. Allow to disable "small overhang removal"

  2. Allow to set tree support brim width
    Previously, the tree support brim width is automatically calculated, and there is no way to manually set it. Now we open the setting, with the value 0 meaning the auto calculated brim width.

  3. Optimized the file size when saving 3MF.
    When there are multiple copies of model objects and parts, only one set of model data is saved in the 3MF file.

  4. Display various network error messages #1571
    More detailed error description will be displayed when binding the printer/sending printing fails

  1. Change the style of the calibration line. Idea of showing calibration pattern on prepare page directly is from OrcaSlicer. Thanks!
