Bambu Studio 2.7.0 MUST WATCH For Multi-Color 3D Printing In Bambu Studio! THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING!

本站添加: 2026-06-02

[00:00:00]Bamboo Lab just dropped the two best new features since sliced, maybe not sliced bread, but sliced 3D models in Bamboo Studio 2.7.0.

[00:00:11]The headline feature in the latest Bamboo Studio beta, which if you have not updated already, I highly recommend that you do, is called texture to color painting, which if I'm going to be completely honest, sounded a little bit confusing at first. And since I don't personally add textures to my 3D prints, it just didn't feel like something I needed to know about. But I have to admit when I'm wrong, because this first feature is kind of huge and has solved so many problems that I've previously experienced and hopefully will save you a lot of time as well, depending on how you're getting or I should say making your 3D prints. Now, full disclaimer. If you're ever only downloading 3MF files from Maker World, then honestly, nothing in this feature really affects you and you can just skip to the next update if you prefer because Maker World's 3MF files already come like preset with the color information baked in. But if you are using some OBJ or GITF especially from all of these image to 3D services like for example Messi or Hidem 3D not sponsored but these are the two platforms that I have used before and also still 100% recommend although they sadly do not sponsor this video. Then you're going to love this update. Or if you're just getting started designing your own models with, for example, Tinkercad, then instead of using the STL export option, all you have to do is to swap to OBJ and those 3D models will now keep the color and I guess technically also the texture information when you do get into Bamboo Studio. And once inside Bamboo Studio, you can select the number of colors you want to use and Bamboo Studio will do an automatic color mapping for you. very similar to the mesh graffiti workflow I already talked about here on the channel. This means no repainting by hand or I guess no manual coloring in Bamboo Studio. At least not as much coloring in Bamboo Studio that we had to do before. Just import and it's done. But if you are importing like straight from for example height 3D that I took this little design from, you will quickly realize that uh height 3D is not necessarily optimized for a limited number of colors 3D printing. But this is where that color matching comes into bamboo studio. Uh but if you are for example limiting to I guess four colors which is like the most common setup with just one AMS then the original color that you have had from for example hidem 3D in this case uh may look like a little bit weird. And in addition to this if you would go ahead and print this uh 16 color print in this case h you would spend literally days trying to get this one single print created which is only like 100 mm tall. So, it's not like a massive print to begin with. Uh, but something that I think is going to be huge is this color mixing function that we now have natively in Bamboo Studio as well. The one thing I do feel like this entire workflow is missing though is that there should be a function where bamboo studio with like the color mixing function automatically would calculate for example okay you don't have like four different types of brownish filaments but I know because now we also have this filament manager straight into bamboo studio as well so bamboo studio already knows basically every single one of the filaments that we already have. I would like to see an upgrade to this where Bamboo Studio tells you, oh, you don't have brown or the three different versions of brown, but you do have this type of brown and black or you have this type of brown and white and Bamboo Studio could then automatically color mix it for you or like make some suggestions with some algorithms or whatnot. Uh, and it could just give you a alternative color matching if that makes sense. I just feel like that is where the future is heading and downloading the Bamboo Studio beta is your next step towards this super amazing ultimate color mixing workflow. Now the next update is not really a new function as much is a nice to have update. So we will cover this a little bit faster. Bamboo Studio has had a mesh defect detector for a while which scans the model for issues before you're slicing it so you know if you will have any issues or not. Again, this is more relevant if you're printing your own 3D models that you have designed yourself or maybe importing something from outside of MakerWorld since most of the Maker World designs have already gone through this process within Bamboo Studio when the designer created and uploaded the design. So, as end users or I guess end printers shouldn't have any issues like this if the original designer has done their job. But with that said, in Bamboo Studio 2.7.0, zero.

[00:05:03]This detector got even smarter with two main updates. First one is improved detection accuracy for non-manifold edges, which I'm going to be completely honest again and I tell you that I have no idea what that means, but I think that is when three or more faces of your 3D model meet at the same edge, which is something that 3D printing slicers really don't like. But the 2.7 detector is now more accurate at finding them, which I guess means fewer print failures. Um, honestly not sure. Future will tell, but hopefully we will have even fewer issues moving forward. The second update is that open edges are not counted as their own separate category.

[00:05:43]And an open edge is just a hole in your mesh or in your design that are less serious issues than the non-manifold edges. And now with the 2.7 update, these are being treated as different items as well in the slicer. Okay, that is enough with the boring updates. Let's go back to the big features. If you somehow has missed the entire color mixing update in Bamboo Studio, then first go back and watch my previous video, especially the part where I talk about the gradient feature because now in 2.7.0, we're getting a I guess pretty nice per part gradient feature addition to the color mixer. Up until now, if you put multiple parts on the same plate and use the gradient mode, they all share one single gradient across the entire plates said height. So, a small object would only show a thin slice of the gradient and a tall object would show the entire gradient, which sometimes might be exactly what you want, but most of the time I think that would just look a little bit weird. But now we do have a new option called enable per part gradient effect inside the mixed filament gradient settings, which gives each part on the plate its own complete gradient. Every part transitions within itself from its own bottom to its own top. To me, this just feels like this should have been the default setting all along since the main feature of a gradient setting is to have an actual gradient. But this new setting is still off by default. So, if you do want to use it, you do need to go into the mix filament gradient settings and turn it on. And speaking about turning on, something that turns me on is my absolute favorite feature in this entire update, and that is that painted colors are now preserved after plain cut. I cannot tell you how many times I have almost used the plain cut feature to, for example, split apart in two so I can make an even larger, twice as big as my build plate print. But then realizing that as soon as I cut an object in Bamboo Studio somehow and for some reason I still don't really understand the color information has just disappeared until now because now in 2.7 the painted color information is still there even after a plain cut. And I don't know about you, but for me, this is literally the difference between I'm never going to use this function again.

[00:08:02]And now this function is finally useful, and I cannot wait until making massive, enormous cut up prints. One thing to keep in mind, though, is that minor alignment differences may appear on painted facets near the cut surface.

[00:08:17]Now, I have not actually had time to try out this function myself because we're in the middle of tax season here in Taiwan and actually all my printers have been running 247 to prepare for my first weekend 3D market. Uh, which actually was not a 3D market. It was a Sweden day celebration here in Taiwan. So, uh me and my lovely wife spent the entire weekend of just uh talking 3D printing.

[00:08:45]Actually, the main purpose was to actually sell some prints at this little uh Sweden day trade show/fair, but uh we did the maybe mistake or maybe just brilliant decision to bring one of our 3D printers there to show how the process actually looks like. And so many people who had ne they had heard about 3D printing, but they had never seen an actual 3D printer or like a 3D print being made. So many people, anyone from like the tiniest kid to like like 87 year old like grandparents, they were so fascinated and it just made me so happy to just talk about like 3D printing all the time. It was just so nice to talk to like normal people about 3D printing and just see how excited they were when they understood the process for the first time. and and I just got so many flashbacks to like, wow, that's how cool I thought it was the first time I saw this. Anyway, this might be a topic for a future video. So, if that is something that you want to see or if you want to see some more Bamboo Studio update videos, please remember to subscribe to this channel if you haven't already. But in the rest of this video, we're going to continue talking about the brand new 2.7.0 Bamboo Studio update and the additions to the filament manager within Bamboo Studio. If you do have a spool of a bamboo PLA in a matte sunset orange, the filament manager actually shows you that exact color and not just a generic gray placeholder. It now also supports multicolor and gradient filaments, although I don't actually have any gradient filaments from Bamboo Lab. So, I also cannot confirm this specific update. But last but not least, the filament manager now also supports cloud sync through bamboo cloud, which is a topic I will not talk about in this video and most likely not on this channel as well because it seems like every other 3D printing YouTuber and basically any other YouTuber these days have a lot of things to say regarding the famous Bamboo Lab Cloud and the things that are related to that topic.

[00:10:58]Uh, instead I want to continue talking about uh, not necessarily Bamboo Studio 2.7.0, but we do have together with this update, we do have some new filament presets for the brand new Bamboo Lab filament PLA Pure. So far, I haven't been able to find any information or even a purchase link to this PLA Pure other than this Chinese page on the Bamboo Vicki. Now, some good and bad news. A good news is that I live in Taiwan, so I can actually read Chinese.

[00:11:31]Bad news is that I live in Taiwan, so I can only read traditional Chinese and not simplified Chinese. But basically, from what I understanding, this is pure PLA without any extra additives, meaning that the material is considered food safe, at least according to several different EU and international regulations. But the Bamboo Lab themselves include a pretty big disclaimer at the end of the page saying that although this product has passed relevant food contact compliance tests at the raw material and printed part levels, the quality and safety of the finished products are highly dependent on the users equipment conditions, printing environment, operating methods, and post-processing techniques. So, please do take this news with a grain of salt that you may or may not have spooned up with a 3D printed salt spoon made of PLA pure depending on your own preference or I guess trust in the 3D printing process. For more information regarding food safe 3D printing, you might want to check out the product page of PLA Pure when or if this gets released internationally. And with that, we are done with all or at least the main updates for this Bamboo Studio 2.7 beta update. And I personally think that only the plain cut feature itself is worth the beta risk if there is such a thing uh just to get access to all these features as soon as possible. And speaking about as soon as possible, I will of course release my next couple of videos as soon as possible as well. I have been falling behind a little bit this past week or month, which I I do apologize for. But now we are back here in the studio and ready to create tons of different videos about anything 3D printing related with the next thing coming up might be a Flash Forge Creator 5 review. And if you have any specific questions regarding Creator 5 or Flash Forge or tool changers versus like bamboo lab printers, please do let me know and I will make sure to include those either in the review or get back to your specific question personally as well. With that said, thank you all so much for watching. My name is Lucas.

[00:13:36]Start with L as in like, ends with S as in subscribe. Please do both. And see you all in the next one.
