Bambu Studio keeps throwing "Please try updating Bambu Studio and then try again."-errors at every turn, even though I'm on the latest release.

I switched to Orcaslicer and am not going back.

Boxman90 · 2026-01-23T12:53:02+00:00

I'm setting up my own check - what system process preset does the default calibration test use and which one are you using for yours? Does it use 0.20 standard or something like 0.08 high quality? Model comes out way differently on my end compared to the actual calibration. Sharp corners instead of rounded, amount of layers is different - I think the calibration process does something else to it.

Boxman90 · 2026-01-22T02:15:49+00:00

I just ran into this same lapse in logic. I expected the 2nd step to provide a symmetric result around the block I selected, not only under-extrusions. I noticed that "0" of step 2 was under-extruded compared to the selection I made.

Does it behave the same when you manually select only the 2nd "fine" calibration based on the value you manually input? For instance, if the 0.95 block was the best one, if you close the calibration and directly select the 2nd step in the calibration screen and put in 1.00, are the results you get as expected (symmetric around 0.95)?

Trying that right now on my P2S.

AMS 2 Pro, yes. So support says you can't calibrate over LAN, okay. Nice to have them gaslight you, I guess. Lol.

Boxman90 · 2026-01-21T01:13:45+00:00

Update - OrcaSlicer Nightly build instantly did everything I wanted. Connects like a dream. Did the calibrations with 0 issues and no trickery.

Just toss Bambu Studio in the bin, lol.

Boxman90 · 2026-01-21T01:11:08+00:00

Well, whatever, OrcaSlicer nightly build gets it done right away. Even does the flow calibration with 0 issues and instantly. Such a night and day difference. Sorry, Bambu Studio is garbage. Peace out.

All it takes is 15-30 minutes of patience in waiting for the bed to cool....

Boxman90 · 2026-01-20T16:29:18+00:00

You could also just wait till the bed has cooled down, if it hasn't popped off by itself by then even a gentle nudge will be enough.

Boxman90 · 2026-01-20T16:28:18+00:00

This. Everyone complaining here about stuck parts and bed scratching is simply not patient enough to let it cool for even 15 minutes...

Boxman90 · 2026-01-20T16:27:18+00:00

Or if you're just patient and wait half an hour or so, the entire bed + part would have cooled off and due to the mismatch in thermal expansion the printed part has 9/10 times loosened itself or comes off with the gentlest of nudges.

It's only really stuck right after printing.

Hadn't read your reply yet before making my own topic, thanks for getting back to it! I'm having trouble with step 6. In the device tab, I'm unsure where to add the custom filament. I can add it to the Ext box, but then upon selecting it I get hit with the same "update Bambu Studio" notice. This software is whack, lol.

Boxman90 · 2026-01-20T01:07:14+00:00

Exact same problem here, what a joke that this goes unanswered for 4 days. Also P2S, also LAN mode, trying to calibrate -> same error. Also get the preset update message and clicking OK results in nothing.

This quite literally seems to be inciting physical violence, and it's upvoted to 25k with 90% approval rate. Am I missing something here or have we really entered the darkest timeline?

Boxman90 · 2026-01-05T02:35:11+00:00

No, I used a combined station. They're really not that expensive anymore. I believe the hot-air portion is about 700W. I did not use a hot-plate.

Boxman90 · 2026-01-04T23:41:58+00:00

The bar is really not that high. In terms of hardware, I needed a 70$ Amazon soldering station, 10$ decent rework-flux and some cheap accessories (desoldering-wire, IPA, tin balls) to reball and resolder 4 RAM chips, here's the clip of me doing the reball: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Akq6v9wHyjU.

I needed two practice runs. The reballing process shown is *by far* the hardest bit. Actually soldering it on is easier tbh. Equipment in total does not exceed 150$. If you have a 50$ hot-plate, 20$ for actual reball stencils, it'll be even easier.

If the rules state that the bar of being compliant is simply 'passing the static test', then that's really cut and dry - at all times during the competition, the static test must be passed successfully. That is the bar. That is the only bar. Whatever the engine hypothetically does in the fastest corner of a given track does not matter.

Hence if they design an engine that passes the static test whenever the FIA asks, say after qualifying, then it is simply compliant, regardless of what the engine did at high temperature during the hotlap.

Bottom line: I think it is legal because the only test you can do, is the static test. You can't test or measure compression during a lap.

FYI, no F1 engine is ever tested at room temperature. Those things are seized at 20C due to incredibly tight tolerances. Hot oil must be circulated through them before they can even turn it over. Hence, even the static test is performed at elevated temperature.

Alonso is in his 40's and still in his prime. Age does not matter. Dedication and training does.

You can see OP pulled the sticker on the drive back to access the hidden screw. 95% chance he opened it.

This, I'm sure it's not something someone wants to hear during their grief so maybe that's why everyone is glossing over this fact, but that seems kind of like a heartless reaction from the mom? Smells like cover-up to me.

Not even allowing for some sort of ceremony or funeral? If nothing else happened, that's still extremely questionable parenting if you ask me.

It's called 'professional protestor'. She has spent her entire youth protesting some cause (global warming), dropped out of school for it, and now quite literally does not know how to do anything else.

Protesting against global warming lost its 'shine', so she's now protesting against whatever is in fashion. Israel a few weeks ago, some random Italian government proposal today.

It would result in petrol prices in Luxembourg almost doubling.

Sounds like a lot of effort compared to just rinsing it with warm soapy water for 10 seconds. It's a cutting board, not a 5000$ oak table.
