v1.7.3 (v1.7 Hotfix 2)

This is a hotfix version based on 1.7.2.51

Bug fix

1. In the previous hotfix v1.7.2.51 and v1.7.1.62, the default wall generator had been switched to Arachne. However, due to certain issues, we've chosen to return to Classic and roll back the overhang detection optimization in this hotfix

   After releasing version 1.7.1.62, users reported slow slicing times during overhang calculations in Arachne mode. We attempted to address this in hotfix 1.7.2.51 using a method that unfortunately led to some overhang detection errors. Specific cases include:
   

   It seems our recent overhang detection method wasn't as polished as we hoped. To ensure reliability and speed, we've returned to the Classic wall generator. We're diligently working on refining Arachne and will reintroduce it once we're confident in its performance.

   We apologize for any issues you encountered with our latest updates. Your feedback is invaluable, and we genuinely appreciate your patience and insights.

2. Fix the issue that wall order wasn't functioning correctly with the Arachne wall generator, #2195

3. Fix the issue that the UI response is stuck sometime due to the playback stop operation

4. Updata Bambu Cube V2R1 #2193

5. Fix: tree support's enforcers inside a hole were wrongly generated
   

6. Fix: Crashing when saving auto flow rate calibration with Chinese characters.

v1.7.2 (v1.7 Hotfix)

This is a hotfix version based on 1.7.1

Improvements

Improve the slicing speed at 15% stage

Starting from version 1.7.1, the default wall generator has been switched to Arachne with variable line width enabled by default.
Arachne, compared to the classic wall generator, is more complex. Many users have reported a significant increase in processing time - up to 15% - when slicing complex models.
Therefore, we have prioritized optimizing the slicing speed when both the Arachne and overhang slowdown features are enabled.
Below, you can see a 3mf test and the slicing time comparison:

However, if the model is extremely complex (for instance, when slicing a lithophane.) and continues to be sliced slowly in the hotfix version, we recommend switching to the classic wall generator or disabling the overhang slowdown feature as a workaround.
Please refer to the following example below:

Performance issues are not always quick to resolve, but we will continue to optimize, as always.
Please don't hesitate to report any issues you encounter.
We greatly appreciate all constructive feedback and suggestions from our users!

Support one wall one top surface or topmost surface with Arachne

One wall on the top surface option is important to improve the top surface quality.
After switching the default wall generator to Arachne from V1.7.0 public beta, users reported that the top surface is bad, because Arachne couldn't be used with one wall on the top surface together at the same time.

We have tested this option before and found that this was causing the slicing process to be too slow. However, we found a solution and this option is now available in release.

You can now use the Arachne wall generator with “one wall on top surface” option for both “all top surfaces” and “only topmost surface”. The “only topmost surface” option can only make the topmost layer be one wall, but it can slice much faster than “all top surfaces” when model is very complex.

Please check the comparison below for details.

1. Fix some Flow Dynamics Calibration issues caused by the calibration result not correctly synchronized between Bambu Studio and Printer.
2. Display a failed result when found an abnormal value in Flow rate calibration.
3. Fix the crash issue when saving calibration result by the Chinese name.

v1.7.0 Public Beta

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!

5. Support coloring under the Assembled view Tab

6. Support to display the "Filament Auto refill information" of Printer from "Device" or "Sent to Print".

7. Support Bambu transparent Filament
   Transparent materials can be viewed in 3D view and at the beginning of slicing in preview

8. 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.

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

11. Add concentric ironing pattern

12. Add setting to change internal solid infill pattern

13. Add only one wall function for the first layer

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

15. 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.

16. 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

17. 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.

18. Display the number of selected parts when multiple objects selected

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

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

21. 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!

22. 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 merg...

v1.6.0 Public Beta

Summary

This is a major release (V1.6.0 Public Beta) mainly adds some features, improvements, and fixes based on user feedback.

Add gcode path conflict check

Printing often fails due to unexpected path conflict. Unexpected crossing gcodes increase the risk of print failures and issues such as supports merging onto other objects, sometimes even resulting in nozzle clogging. However, manually checking for these conflicts can be challenging for users, given the complexity and volume of G-codes.
This feature identifies conflicts between G-code paths of different objects and their supports. Upon detection, an error message will appear at the bottom right of the windows, requiring users to adjust the positions of the conflicting objects before printing can proceed. Besides adjusting the position, you may also assemble conflict objects together if they are printed in the same setting.

Support ext spool for X1C/X1

In line with the latest firmware update for the X1 series, the filaments in spool holders and AMS are now consistently managed. You could configure filament properties (including type, color, and printing temperature) on the external spool holder via Studio or the printer. This setting allows the printer to perform some automations which were only available with AMS like loading/unloading filaments, etc. Please refer to the X1 series firmware release history for details.

We want to thank PrusaSlicer for their contributions to the 3D printing community, particularly their implementation of these handfuls of features such as Height Range Modifier, Cut with Connector, Sinking, and G-code sequential view. These features have been successfully enhanced and integrated into Bambu Studio to improve user experience.

Support height range modifier, users can add several height range modifiers to apply different settings #258 #476

Height Range Modifier allows users to apply specific settings to certain height ranges within a 3D object. This feature enables fine-tuning of print settings for different sections of a model. By utilizing this feature, users could paint different colors based on height, or achieve better print quality, efficiency, and customization for their prints.

Advanced cut with connectors #1033 #1057

This feature enables users to print large or intricate models on smaller build plates or with reduced support structures. Users can create and customize connectors that perfectly fit the separated parts, ensuring precise alignment and enhanced structural integrity.

Support gcode sequential view, it will display when moving a single step #15

Support sinking and only slice model part above hot bed #585 #973

5. Add back the customized post-processing scripts #1098

6. Improve the smoothness of tree supports

7. Add two support interface patterns (grid & rectilinear interlaced). Both patterns are stronger than the others and support large overhangs better #1018 #1221

8. Retain the most recent print settings for bed leveling, flow calibration, and timelapse to streamline the user experience #487 #1035 #1081

9. Popup a warning when attempting to send a print job to a printer with a mismatched printer model

10. Update the default style of tree support to "Tree Hybrid". This is to ensure a high success rate for printing ordinary models

11. Improve support necessity check. Warnings will now only be issued for floating parts or long floating cantilevers #1519

12. Reduce possible toolhead shake in smooth timelapse video
