What it does: • You drop a 3D model (STL/OBJ/3MF) • It analyzes the actual geometry (overhangs, solidity, number of parts, etc.) • It classifies the part (mechanical, decorative, hollow, etc.) • It generates optimized settings for your printer and filament • Then it opens the slicer (Bambu Studio / Flash Studio / Orca) with everything already configured Supported printers right now: • Most Bambu Lab machines (A1, P1, X1, H2 series, etc.) • FlashForge (Creator 5, Adventurer 5M, AD5X, Guider 3 Ultra…) The app is native (not Electron), very lightweight, and runs a small local AI only for classification. Settings are decided deterministically with safety guardrails so it can’t produce dangerous profiles. It’s currently free and available here: https://github.com/alexmark53343-byte/FlashFit-AI Important note about SmartScreen: The Windows build is not signed yet, so you’ll see the usual “Unknown publisher” warning. I’m fixing the code signing today, so future builds will no longer show that. I’m just one person working on this in my free time. Feedback (especially from people with Bambu or FlashForge printers) is very welcome. Thanks for reading.

Special thanks to **The Community**, whose testing and suggestions directly inspired many of the improvements in this update. # New in v1.2.0 • 💾 Automatic slicer profile backups before any calibration changes, with one-click restore. • 🎯 New **Flow Ratio Re-check** after Pressure Advance to help produce more accurate final profiles. • 📏 New **Shrinkage / Dimensional Accuracy** calibration supporting ap.engineering's free Printables plate, CaliFlower MK2, or your own measured calibration object. • 💧 More realistic drying guidance. "Fresh from a sealed bag" doesn't always mean dry, especially for PETG, TPU, and PCTG. • 🛠 Better Bambu Studio guidance with corrected menu locations, Develop Mode instructions, and profile detection. Existing projects are automatically updated with the new calibration steps while preserving your progress. The project is completely **free and open source**, and every release is being shaped by community feedback. If you give it a try, I'd love to hear what works, what doesn't, and what you'd like to see next. **GitHub:** [https://github.com/tayloraaron078-tech/Filament\_Calibration\_Wizard]() **Download v1.2.0:** [https://github.com/tayloraaron078-tech/Filament\_Calibration\_Wizard/releases#release-v1.2.0](https://github.com/tayloraaron078-tech/Filament_Calibration_Wizard/releases#release-v1.2.0)

Even in 2026, with slicers having AI generated infills, crosshatch is really good, but I feel like the print quality suffers a bit. What do you guys use?

From Reddit saved post — r/BambuLab, u/Impossible_Active508, Jul 06 2026 https://www.reddit.com/r/BambuLab/comments/1up8myn/reverseengineered_bambus_perface_paint_color/ Long-time lurker. I built something I wanted for myself and figured people here would find it useful. Bambu Studio's multi-color paint tool writes per-face color assignments in an undocumented binary format, and I could not find a single converter, online or otherwise, that preserved it when exporting to GLB. They all export flat gray mesh. So I reverse-engineered the format and built a browser tool: upload a multi-color .3mf, every painted zone shows up correctly, you can recolor them live, preview in AR on your phone at true size, and export GLB or USDZ, or a re-tinted .3mf that opens back in Studio or Orca and slices fine. Nothing uploaded, runs entirely client-side. Demo: https://samisalah221.github.io/3mf-to-glb/ (MIT licensed, source linked there too). Would love bug reports if you throw a weird multi-color file at it and it chokes. The offending file is the most useful thing you can send me.

Since Apple only supports STL files I decided to build a Quick Look app for 3MF files. My main goal was to keep the UI/UX as close to as possible to Apple. \## Features: \- Instant 3MF previews in Finder \- High-quality thumbnails \- Browse all build plates \- Interactive 3D preview \- Rotate, pan and zoom \- Fast loading performance \- Native macOS integration \- No slicer required \- Privacy-friendly (files stay on your Mac) \- Clean, lightweight interface I’d love to hear some feedback! \- What do you think? \- Is something missing? \- Would you pay for the app and if so, what is a fair price? I am not looking to get rich of it, but it would be nice if the (Apple related) costs are covered.

From Reddit saved post — r/BambuLab, u/Direct_Effort_4892, Jul 02 2026 https://www.reddit.com/r/BambuLab/comments/1ulsoai/turning_the_a1_mini_into_a_2d_pen_plotter_without/ Hey everyone! I love my A1 mini and wanted to use it as a high-speed 2D pen plotter as soon as I got it (to write my assignments and stuff). That, as I soon came to find out, requires fighting with slicer software, dealing with the hotend heating up, extruder gears grinding unnecessarily, or buying paid software which still doesn't natively support what I want to do. To fix this, I built an open-source tool called BambuScribe (Yeah, I know, real creative). Instead of using a slicer, it connects directly to the printer via LAN Only Mode using the internal MQTT broker. **How it works:** It bypasses the Bambu cloud entirely. The web UI calculates the toolpath in the browser, sends it to a Python backend, and streams raw G-code chunks directly to the printer. Because of this, it has some specific safety benefits: * **Cold Plotting:** The hotend never heats up (no fire hazard against paper). * **Extruder Off:** The extruder gears never turn, preventing unnecessary hardware wear. * **Virtual Bounding Boxes:** You jog the toolhead to your paper's corners to set a custom drawing plane, meaning the nozzle never strikes the bed or whatever you use to hold down the paper. * **Writing & Image Support:** You can natively write on lined pages or draw custom uploaded images. I also built in an OpenCV engine for image processing (stippling/crosshatching) and a native Hershey vector font engine for standard and cursive text. I’m a high school student and this is my first dive into hardware orchestration and network protocols, so it's very much a work in progress (print times are currently a bit slow as it validates every MQTT packet to prevent buffer overflow). If you want to try it out or look at the code, I’ve open-sourced the whole suite on GitHub here: [https://github.com/Animesh-Varma/BambuScribe](https://github.com/Animesh-Varma/BambuScribe). Though it is not as easy to set up for newcomers as I want it to be, I am actively working on making the setup simpler! I'm currently using TeQiller's A1 Plotter mount from MakerWorld, but if anyone here is good at CAD and wants to help me design a custom pen mount with zero nozzle-offset, I'd love to collaborate :) \[BTW I am also going to add support for auto page alignment for text pages and potentially a custom image model for handwriting mimicry, so stay tuned for that!\]

From Reddit saved post — r/BambuLab, u/DayGeckoArt, Jul 02 2026 https://www.reddit.com/r/BambuLab/comments/1ulla7e/retraction_is_the_magic_setting_for_tpu/ I only rarely print with TPU and have been struggling with stringing (P1S and A1 Mini). Pretty much everything I found on forums was about wet filament or nozzle temp too high. Whenever I posted pics of stuff I designed and printed in TPU, people would tell me to dry my filament. But drying for 24+ hours and trying lower nozzle temperatures didn't make any difference. Lower nozzle temperatures seemed to just increase stringing and below 210 the lines didn't even stick to each other. I finally just Googled it and the AI bot said to use 1.5mm retraction. I looked through some of the results to confirm and that seems to be the consensus for these printers. The default Bambu setting is only 0.4mm retraction. Now I'm printing Overture 95A (non high speed) TPU at **230C** nozzle temperature for the layer adhesion with **1.5mm retraction** and **retraction on layer change**. There's **zero stringing!** The thing in the pictures is a low profile roof rack pad for stand up paddle boards, surfboards, etc. I designed it to be printed in 50mm segments.

I call it [Forgeo](https://forgeo.onemayk.com/). You can drop in a monochrome SVG or a supported image file and get ready‑to‑print 3D models out, either as flat tiles or shallow molds you can cast into. It’s highly customizable: you can tweak tile size, chamfer and fillet, and you can even generate a mold version that you might want to print in TPU for casting. There’s no signup, no tracking, no cookies, and **no paid plans**. Remember: this is under active development and in beta, so things are expected to change quickly and errors are possible. I’ve printed a bunch of test pieces on my BambuLab X1C and I’ve attached a photo of the results. I’d love to hear what you think, what works well, and what doesn’t. If you try it, I’d love to see what you make. If you hit any bugs or weird behavior, feel free to leave feedback using the website’s feedback option.

From Reddit saved post — r/BambuLab, u/MaestroDeAero, May 21 2026 https://www.reddit.com/r/BambuLab/comments/1tjku6z/the_software_freedom_conservancy_sfc_just/ Hey everyone, If you’ve been following the recent drama between Bambu Lab and the open-source community, things just escalated from a heated debate to an all-out, structured counter-offensive. Following Bambu Lab's aggressive Cease-and-Desist letter to developer Paweł Jarczak for his OrcaSlicer mod, the **Software Freedom Conservancy (SFC)** has officially stepped into the ring. They just released a massive statement confirming that Bambu Lab is in direct violation of the **AGPLv3 license** regarding their proprietary network plugin. But instead of just waiting around for a years-long lawsuit, the SFC is taking immediate, community-driven action by launching **Project "baltobu"**: * **Reverse-Engineering the Plugin:** The SFC is calling for volunteers to completely reverse-engineer Bambu’s closed-source network plugin (`libbambu_networking`) and replace it with a fully compliant, open-source alternative. * **Reviving the Blocked Code:** The SFC is officially hosting and continuing Jarczak’s work under their own umbrella. * **A New Fork ("Viscose"):** They are launching a direct fork of Bambu Studio that is 100% free of proprietary "black-box" code. * **Legal Protection:** Most importantly, the SFC is acting as a legal shield. They’ve stated they are "not afraid of Bambu's aggression" and will legally and financially protect any volunteer contributing to this project. Paweł Jarczak has also officially joined them. This is a massive moment for Open Source and the Right to Repair in the 3D printing industry. Check out the SFC's full, official response and see how you can get involved or support the fund: 👉[https://sfconservancy.org/news/2026/may/18/bambu-studio-3d-printer-agpl-violation-response/](https://sfconservancy.org/news/2026/may/18/bambu-studio-3d-printer-agpl-violation-response/) What are your thoughts on this?

From Reddit saved post — r/BambuLab, u/Makarov87, May 13 2026 https://www.reddit.com/r/BambuLab/comments/1tcdozp/i_made_a_tiny_3dprintable_keychain_camera_you_can/ I’m the person behind this, and I’m really excited to finally show it properly. This is **Keymera** — a tiny working camera you can 3D print, build at your desk, and clip to your keys. The idea is simple: a real little camera that feels like a maker object again. Not an app. Not a phone accessory. Not a smart device. Just a small thing you print, assemble, carry, and press when you want to keep a tiny moment. What it does: * takes real 3 MP photos * saves them to microSD * opens a Wi-Fi photo gallery in your phone browser * needs no app, no account, no cloud * sleeps quietly on your keys until you press the button Short press: wake → shoot → save → blink → sleep again. Long press: open the Wi-Fi gallery. The build is intentionally small: * about **1 hour to print** * about **1 hour to assemble** * **5 printed parts** * **4 electronic components** * 4 solder joints * no screws * no glue * Arduino IDE firmware There are **3 exterior designs** at launch: Rangefinder, SLR, and Instant. They all share the same inner frame and electronics, so the outside changes the whole personality without changing the build. And because the visible shell pieces are separate, your slicer basically becomes the paint shop: mix colors, do retro camera combinations, go bright and weird, keep it monochrome, use translucent parts, or turn on fuzzy skin to get a faux leatherette camera texture. There’s also a 4th TLR-style shell planned as a stretch goal.
