Bambu Studio is already one of the fastest and most user-friendly slicers available, but when you’re running multiple projects (or even a print farm), every minute counts. Small workflow tweaks can save hours over time, especially when prepping complex jobs. Here are some tried-and-true workflow hacks to make slicing and print setup more efficient. 1.
Halloween is one of the best times of year to flex your 3D printing creativity. From eerie props to glowing decorations, your Bambu Lab printer can turn ordinary filament into something truly spooky. With the speed and reliability of Bambu machines, you can even produce last-minute Halloween projects that look like they came straight from
Even though Bambu Lab printers deliver some of the cleanest, sharpest FDM prints on the market, raw parts still look like… 3D prints. Layer lines, seam marks, or surface textures may be fine for prototypes, but for client work, display models, or consumer-ready parts, post-processing can transform prints from “good” to “polished.” This post explores
Even with highly automated printers like the Bambu Lab series, failures can and do happen. The difference is that Bambu’s smart sensors, closed-loop control, and slicer integration often prevent small issues from turning into catastrophic failures. Still, every user eventually faces a spaghetti monster, layer shift, or adhesion problem. This post breaks down the most
The idea of a print farm—multiple 3D printers working in parallel—used to mean rows of Ender 3s or Prusas, each needing constant attention, mods, and maintenance. Scaling was possible, but not painless. Bambu Lab has shifted the equation. With CoreXY speed, automated calibration, AMS multi-material capability, and strong ecosystem integration, Bambu machines are increasingly being
What Makes a Model “Multi-Material Ready”? Multi-material printing requires one of two things: STLs are the most common file type, but Bambu Studio also accepts 3MF files, which preserve color, material, and structural data more cleanly. Step-by-Step: Preparing a Multi-Material Print 1. Create the Model in a CAD Tool Use software like Fusion 360, Blender,
Common Advanced Materials and Their Challenges Carbon Fiber and Glass-Filled Filaments PETG and PETG Blends Flexible Filaments (TPU, TPE) Nylon and High-Temperature Engineering Plastics Tips for Success with Specialty Filaments on Bambu Printers Using the AMS with Advanced Materials While the AMS system offers automation and multi-material printing, it is best suited for standard filaments.

When you buy a Bambu Lab printer, you’re not just getting hardware — you’re entering an ecosystem, and at its core is Bambu Studio, the custom slicer that powers every print. Unlike many other desktop 3D printers that rely on third-party slicers like Cura or PrusaSlicer, Bambu Lab built their own slicer from the ground
What Is Input Shaping? When a 3D printer’s moving parts accelerate and decelerate quickly, the frame and gantry experience vibrations. These vibrations cause ringing or ghosting artifacts in prints—those subtle ripples or ripples you see around corners and details. Traditionally, the faster you try to print, the worse these vibrations become. Printers either slow down
