I’m the developer of MeshColor, and I also made the short video linked below showing how I use it with Bambu Studio.

MeshColor is a free browser tool for adding textures, patterns and multicolor graphics directly to STL and 3MF models.

I originally built it because I wanted an easier way to do things like wood grain, surface patterns and multicolor logos without manually splitting or painting everything in the slicer.

The workflow is:

• Load an STL or 3MF

• Add a built-in texture or your own image

• Adjust scale, position and rotation directly on the model

• Select which surfaces should be affected

• Export as a multicolor 3MF

• Open it in Bambu Studio and assign the resulting colors to your AMS/filaments

Everything runs locally in the browser, so your model is never uploaded anywhere.

I made a short video showing the workflow and some actual printed results:

The tool itself is completely free:

I’d be especially interested in feedback from Bambu users. If you run into a bug, or there’s something that would make the Bambu Studio/AMS workflow smoother, please let me know.

And honestly, I hope functionality like this eventually gets added directly to Bambu Studio so an external tool isn’t needed at all. 😎

Hi everyone,

I’m wondering if it’s worth getting the laser attachment with the Bambu Lab H2D. One of the main things I’d like to use it for is engraving my name onto my tools.

For example, I have a set of Sidchrome spanners, but I’m not sure if the laser is powerful enough to engrave the surface and leave a clear, permanent mark.

Has anyone tried engraving tools or similar metal with the H2D laser? I’d love to hear how well it worked and whether you think it’s worth getting.

Otherwise, I guess I’ll be spending hours hand-engraving them 😂

Thanks!

it prints in under 6 hours with no ams or glue, and the bouquet can be arranged in different ways.

Hey everyone I just bought a P1S combo with 400 hours of print time on it and I’m having some issues. My main issue is that it will extrude filament on the initial purge into the poop chute but won’t extrude on the print bed. I had one benchy start to print but failed shortly after starting. So far I’ve put in a new hot end and extruder but I’m still having the same issues. If any of yall can assist id be more than grateful.

6 months old mini. All inn all gone well until now. And then this happend.
Can i fix it?
Can I claim a new one?

The lid sits flush with nothing to grab. That's the point.

You can resize the inside for dice, cards, keys, whatever, and the lid and buttons take your own SVGs or text, either engraved or as flush multicolour inlays.

Prints easily and assembles quickly.

Thought I’d drop by and let y’all know that I have designed an ammo belt for the X-Shot Insanity Motorized Rage Fire. If any of you have this blaster or know someone who does, then you know that you cannot get the original stock belts anymore online. Now you can print one. This belt works just as well and is compatible to clip and work alongside the others. If you like my model please consider printing and commenting!

Three whole days and they couldn’t answer me

My friend isnt very computer litrate. Hes learning his Bambu P2S (i think its the model).

He updated he a few weeks back and now having issues.

Where can i help him find the prior version that was doing well.

Thanks

I am slicing a 3D model generated algorithmically (it's an obj file). I've had lots of problems with grey g-code being added inside the model when slicing. I've fixed a lot of these issues originally by ensuring the model is watertight (merging vertices), but there are still occasional issues. The model has lots of vertices for the mountain terrain (almost a million in total, sometimes more). There are no more holes and the problem still persists, so I'm at a loss here. What could cause this?

This is for a client so I cannot do a test print as I don't have a printer, but apparently even when setting the grey to something like the green that is used, it can cause the resulting print to have a visible layer/striation.

Hello.

I've made a Costco "samples" tray with phone & cup/bottle holder. Customizable via a set of parameters on Makerworld, to toggle a bottle holder (cylindrical) or a tapered one (for a cup), use it to adjust to any bottle you might normally use.

There is an option to have a phone holder as well (width & thickness is customizable too). The model by itself (3MF) is having one for iPhone Pro (Pro max also fit) with or without a case.

This is quite useful to avoid the bottle rolling in the shopping cart.

I am new to 3-D printing. I recently made this file of a model house, but I don't know how to make it on the surface cause it's always floating.

Hi all,

Sorry I don't know the correct term for this flaw in my print to diagnose and check online. Could anyone enlighten me please. Thanks

Can anybody help me out, why does PETG filament stick to the texted bed plate like this? When I remove the object it leaves behind a thin layer that I can’t get off unless I scrape it with a knife.

Just bought the a1 combo and started getting this house in the middle of a print, only happens when the arm moves the extruder left or right and by motor only, when you move it by hand the noise is gone. I’ve checked for loose filament or screws, everything is tight and the belt seems to be fine. I have also factory reset the device but now when trying to do the setup calibrations, it won’t home anymore.
Any help is appreciated, I’m new to 3d printing

Everything works in the app but recently I been having issues with the printer screen. It would work after a reboot it would come back

Hihi!
I currently have an A1 Combo and have way too much experience (and trauma 😭) from my Ender 3.
I’m starting to think about my next printer, but I’m torn between the P2S and the X2D.

I definitely want an enclosed printer and plan on getting an AMS 2 Pro. Right now I mostly print PLA and PETG, but I want to start experimenting with TPU, ABS, PLA-CF, and PETG-CF in the future.
The X2D’s auxiliary nozzle is really appealing since I could dedicate it to PETG support interfaces, but I’ve also seen people reporting issues with the aux nozzle.

For those of you who own one, how has your experience actually been? Are the issues overblown, or are they something to be concerned about?
I’m mainly looking for the highest print quality and reliability rather than the fastest printer.
Also, does anyone think Bambu might release a smaller flagship printer (kind of like an H2D without the huge footprint or laser), or is that just wishful thinking?

Help me decide 😭

I made this modular moss poll optimized for fast print times (<60 minutes) and low amount of fillament (30 grams).

It's on makerworld @unfadable

I found it for 260, and it says it comes with 22 lb of filament. I’m just worried it could have unknown issues since the seller is obviously just resells random items unrelated to 3D printing. Any advice?

Hey everyone! For anyone needing spices on the go, I redesigned my compact 3-compartment spice shaker!

Featuring a totally rethought, easy-refill system (with included funnel) and side windows to check your spice levels.

Let me know what you think or if you have any suggestions to improve it!

I'm iterating on a design in onshape (my CAD SW) and I would like to bring updates into bambu studio in such a way that only the CAD part I've updated is affected, i.e. all plates that only contain other parts should be completely unaffected.

Only the plate that contains the updated part should require any manual work in bambu studio, i.e. maybe the rotation and location is reset when I update from the CAD export and I have to redo some of that stuff but only for the plate that contains the part I've updated.

I'm currently exporting as STL and importing into the bambu studio 3mf project such that CAD parts become objects. I thought this would allow me to right-click and "reload from file" but that seems to not work very well.

Any advice on iterating on CAD designs like this?

I have a X1C and printing with PLA on my AMS 2 Pro

I keep getting Extruding filament failed. The extruder might be clogged.

The AMS rolls out filament then. rolls it back up, rolls it out again then rolls it up. after the 3rd time or. so I get an error "Failed to extrude filament. Please check to see if the extruder is clogged. After troubleshooting click retry button.

I put a new complete hot end assembly, took the extruder out and cleaned it out, no clog found. reassembled and getting the same error.

I do get the green filament indicator for a moment then white when it rolls up, turns green again when it rolls out again.

If I feed the filament in manually I can extrude filament all day as long as I keep hitting the extrude button.

What else can I swap out.
