Nice tutorial . Thank you. Huges Informations
Thank you very much. You are awesome. 😁
Your videos have helped me learn Studio better than all others. Thank you for posting them.
Great to hear! Comments such as these are powerful motivators to keep things moving. Thank you very much.
You keep these videos up and Bambu is going to be sending you free printers to test soon. 😁
You make it look easy to give clear and complete technical information. Many others struggle with this.
That would be cool. lol (Bambu Lab if you are watching...🤣)
I try to make stuff I would like to see in videos. Mistakes and all. Thank you for the continued support and comments.
Great video. On the vertical Text you can split the individual letters into Objects first, then assemble the 2 parts of the i and rotate it as a single object, then either rotate each remaining letter individually or re-assemble the remaining letters and split them back to parts and then rotate them as a group. Would have been easier if parts could be assembled like objects.
Very good catch. I typically do these videos in one take and miss some things. That's why our community is best I learn alongside everyone else.😁Thank you for watching and commenting.
My dude, you a beast. Thank you so much for the insight.
😁 Thank you. It's the positive feedback like yours that makes this worthwhile.
Thanks again. I feel like this topic is highly under-rated. I wouldn't consider myself advanced at 3D printing, I don't really want to be honestly, but I do generate tons of gifts, and putting my recipients'' names on the prints is sooo important. I bet there are tons of ppl like me that just want to do this.
Thank you very much. I have been using the slicer for 95% of my projects and it's a great tool.
"Split this, it will fall to the bottom" Whoa. That one bit solved my "how to get things flush with the build plate" problems after so many other not so helpful results elsewhere. And I have finally managed to print multicolor objects flush without weird slicer errors, without having to use another program! THANK YOU!!!
Lol, that was my "go to" technique in the beginning. Simple but effective. 😁 I am elated it is helpful.
Great video - running through all options of text added in the slicer.
Again there were small tips that I did not know or tested, so learned again something (like that you can move up the cube above the text).
And I love that you at the end print all parts and show them to showcase how they look in real. (This time blue gloves ;-) - I was fine with the white one ... )
Thank you for sharing.
I was hoping I didnt send out to many redundant videos and there were some new things to show. l
lol about the gloves. 😆 Thanks again for watching and commenting. Everything helps.
Learned a ton about text manipulation in the slicer - thanks!
Thank you very much for you support, comments and advice.
This slicer has a lot of options that I'm still trying to parse out.
Nice video. Very helpful instruction on the curved text. I was also able to get use this method to get a reverse curve by subtracting the bottom of a sphere from a cylinder.
Excellent use case. Thank you for sharing that. 😁
Thanks! Found your earlier video for flush text, was sad it didn't work anymore, but this did the trick!
Very helpful video.
Great to hear!
Great TEXT video. I have an upcoming print that I'll try the embossing technique. Thanks.
I meant deboss
I hope the project goes well. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Excellent tutorial! I'm book marking this one.. Your videos are great! I have already learned so much from them and look forward to what you produce next!
Thank you very much. I am honored. 🙂
Thank you for explaining the many possibilities for text editing!
It was so helpful again!
A saying in Europe: many roads lead to Rome 👍
Thank you very much. looking back at earlier videos and interacting with everyone certainly helps. I may borrow your saying. 😁
Great video....my first comment was made without finishing the whole video.....thanks....have to go try the curved text....again thanks
No worries. the video is longer than what I typically put out. The longer video poll won this week. lol
Legend for making this consolodated tutorial, the narration helps so much too. Many thanks brother
I truly appreciate the kindness. Thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video! I have been trying to figure out how to print text flush on the bottom. 🎉
Glad I could help! Thank you very much for watching and commenting.
I have been trying to do many of these things with very little success. Your tutorial is awesome and tells me exactly what to do. Making text or an object "a modifier" is exactly what I was looking for.
Hello. Thank you very much for watching and your kind comment. I appreciate it. I always wonder if my pacing is correct for most folks. 😄
I agree - this was super helpful. I am still having trouble getting the text to print when I also add a logo though. Any help would be appreciated @ashleys3dprintshop
@@kendimerlo3402 Thank you. If you are mixing logos/text the same rules apply,as the order of operations.
You would want the text and logo below the main model.
6:17
Also you want to make sure the text and logo are are at least 2 layers, in the z axis.
for for a .2mm layer height make sure the text/logo is .4mm or higher.
I had to watch a few times to get this right for color debossing. Finally got it. Thanks so much. Great video.
Glad it helped! 😁
Great video! 👍
Really learning a lot from you! THX! 🤓
Thank you very much. 😊😁👍
Awesome work, thank you!
Thank you very much. I appreciate that. 😁
love your videos so much ❤
Thank you so much!! I seriously could not do this without everyone's support and guidance.
This was helpful. Thanks!
@@nakleh 😀Thank you very much for watching and commenting.
@@ashleys3dprintshop thank you more!
Can I guess where you're from? I detect a Pennsylvania accent? (I'm from NYC)
actually you don't have to answer that, for privacy reasons..
As a noob this is very helpful - thanks for a great vid
I'm glad it helped.😊This has been learning journey as I am still getting a grasp of all the tools at our disposal.
Thank you for watching and commenting.
Thank you!
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Your videos are great. Thank you!
So nice of you. Thank you
Another great, informative video. I’m not sure I completely understand what “assemble” does. I think I understand that mesh boolean takes several parts and makes them one single part…but I don’t completely understand what assemble does. Thanks!
Hello, thanks for watching and reaching out. Great question.
The *Assemble* function just joins 2 or more items into a *model* with those parts. That's why I can manipulate those parts even after an assemble. 4:42 Also if separate models/parts are touching/overlapping without assemble/mesh you will get an error when slicing.
*Mesh Boolean* can combine 2 or more items in a single part. It's locking in the combination but it wipes out the manipulating individual pieces. 16:50 So I would not be able to change those individual letters when they are meshed together.
@@ashleys3dprintshop thank you for that explanation. I understand now.
This was amazingly helpful. Thank you so much
Thank you very much. 😀
That was very helpful, thanks for doing this video!
Thank you very much.
Amazing tutorial, thank you
Thank you very much. 😁
Super helpful, thanks so much

Love your vidoes!
Thank you very much.😁
Thanks just what I needed
Thank you very much for watching. 😁
Thank You helped me create a project for work :)
You're welcome! Thank you very much for watching and the positive feedback. I hope the project goes well
Outstanding video! I appreciate the tutorials on using text in Bambu Studio. Thanks for taking the time to show us what is possible and how to do it.
Do you have any idea why some fonts show up in the font list and others don’t? Wingdings and other dingbat fonts don’t show up on my Windows version of Bambu Studio and I would really like to be able to use them as design elements.
So I, incorrectly, assumed ALL installed fonts work in studio. I haven't found an easy answer on why some fonts show up and others do not. There are some fonts I found online that work fine and others that dont.
Some will show in studio as selectable, but not reflect the correct font.
It didnt matter if it were ttf or otf, installed in windows or placed in the bambu program font folder.
I gave up on a solution months ago when even fonts from the same source(website) worked while others did not.
I know it's not a great answer *BUT* there is a solution.
*Orca Slicer* seems to use all of the fonts I have tested that bambu studio could not.
It's close enough in functionality to Bambu studio,with some added features, to where there isnt a learning curve.
I hope that helps. Thanks for the question and postivie feedback.
@@ashleys3dprintshop That is a helpful answer. I wondered what happened to all the other installed Windows fonts that were not showing up either. It looks I’ll have to install the Orca Slicer and give it a try. Up to this point Bambu Studio has met all my needs. Thanks for the prompt response!
Hi Ashley, really useful video - been trying to do the circular (flat) text for ages. Since i updated my slicer (i'm using Orca slicer) the text tool _seems_ a bit more advanced but its lost the horizontal option - is there a way to recreate the flat circular text post update?
Hello. Orca has a bunch more tools for text, as you know. Orca actually pulls more from Prusa slicer than Bambu studio for text so how the curved text on surface changed up a bit. The "horizontal" option is nonexistent
All is not lost if you don't mind using another way.
Obviously this way that is shown with Bambu studio. You can export it out as an STL.
Place them individually (not ideal)
Roll back to an earlier version of Orca Slicer.
You can use maker world, with limited font types. and export it and import into Orca.

Great video and channel. I'm new to using my Bambu X1C and Bambu studio so this was very informative! So happy to find out I don't have to incorporate other software like Tinkercad to create text and such. One question, can you rotate text around a point on a flat surface - like on a poker chip?
Hey hey thank you very much for watching and asking. I am trying to see how much we can accomplish with in the slicer and there are far more tools at our disposal.
after doing the steps. here 18:30 or 24:33
So you can rotate text with the rotate tool. (R key)
then use the Z arrows to rotate. It will rotate from a central point. So wherever you place it the "center" is the pivot/rotate point.
So think of the center as the center of the sphere or torus.
Thank you again. I have been working through your channel and the information is so very useful and it's helping me have a better understanding of what is possible within the slicer and what you can expect from the printer.
For some reason I have a different text menu. Nowhere to set embed depth.
I am currently using the latest bambu studio 1.8.4 but I have been using the same settings since Aug 2022.
Orca slicer has forked a bit with its settings adopting more prusa like naming convention.
In Orca slicer the latest version is 1.9 where it is just called depth now.
You may need to use the move tool specifically on the text to embed it.
Orca Slicer is a little different. Thank you sir!
Why are none of the flush text methodes working for me? Text keeps disapering after slicing.
Hello. The most common issue with text not showing up can be found at 6:35
The model has to be a the top and the text at the bottom in the "object process" section.
If the model is below the text it "overwrites" the text. I hope that helps.
Hey! I love your videos! My husband recently bought me the Bambu Lab A1 and I’m having so much from with it. However, the past few prints the filament it coming out extremely clumpy. I’ve made sure there is no filament stuck but I’m still getting this issue. Any suggestion to fix it or idea as to what’s going on?? Thank you for your content!
Hello, that is an amazing gift. Welcome to the community. Typically if I see abnormal filament extruding I check for clogs which it appears you have already done. You will always get the same advice for filament(dry it out, check for filament crimps, clean the nozzle, make sure the silicone sock on there properly)
To fully test that theory I would run a different filament to see if it continues to clump.
The A1 printer have a quick swap nozzle so you could put in a new nozzle to test.
Also with that nozzle removed you can warm it up with a hair dryer and shove in a bit of filament. Be careful as it will be hot. (use oven mitts or bbq gloves) let it cool down and yank it with the strength of Hercules to see if there is anything in there.
Alternatively you can get acupuncture needles and to push through or catch any globs.
Can I ask what kind of filament brand/type you have been using?
Great video as always. Not sure if you know Tinkercad. I'm trying to do arched letters/words on the top of a 45 mm coin. Is there a simple way of achieving this ? Thanks
Thank you very much. I have dabbled in tinkercad for a little bit. No were near an expert though.
How do you center the text with the rectangle shape?
Hello. You can kinda center things. but it is mostly manual positioning.
If you right click on the model and "center"
YOu can right click the text(in object process) and center.
From there you can use the move tool(m key) to take it the rest of the way for fine tuning.
I've been trying to do curve text on the top of the bottle cap by JK Designs, I can't get it to work. I used the torus demonstration
Hello. I haven't don't a full video on this (just a partial one) but I recommend making the curved text on maker world's maker lab.
m.ruclips.net/video/j03rcJRdVmQ/видео.html
makerworld.com/en/makerlab/makeMySign/edit/261579
The you can export out the curved text and fit it to your model. The biggest downside are the font limitations.
Say I have a cylinder, IE koozie, and I want to add the company logo to it and have it wrap around the koozie how do I do that? I've done it in prusa slicer but it doesn't bring it over to bambu labs
Hello thank you for the question. There are a couple of ways to do it and it does depend on if you are using an stl or svg but this should help when using mesh boolean. I highly recommend using an SVG file.

Now keep in mind this isnt a complete (360)wrap around.
Nice job! Why the gloves?
Thank you. No major reason for the gloves. Some parts stand out more or reduces fingerprints on models.
Any suggestions on good font choices for smaller text? I'm trying to add small text to the Bambu color swatches that are 24x24mm with 4mm text and its very challenging to get legible flush text with a 0.4 nozzle. I'm trying to avoid a 0.2mm nozzle as it can't print some filaments.
Here's a challenge for a video. Add 4 lines of text to a standard size Bambu A1 color swatch (24x24x2mm). Either colored flush or debossed. I'm thinking of trying to print it standing on edge, with brim if needed to see if quality improves.
So sorry about the late reply. Line width should be what you are looking for. I actually tested exactly what you were looking for. 24x24x2 with 4mm text using a .4mm nozzle.
ruclips.net/video/K6-qhX2S4IY/видео.html
I would use .3 line width for the text/top surface. Or you can make the entire thing .3mm.
I did not have it print on edge as it would make for many filament changes and take more time.
@@ashleys3dprintshop nice. I'm going to try this tomorrow
Hiya, Sorry if dumb question but can I ask how you imported Absalom font into your slicer please?
Hello, great question. So it has an odd answer.
Bambu studio will pull most(not all) installed fonts into the slicer. But it does not display that font at all. It defaults to a generic font when selected.
Orca slicer can see and use more fonts but that Absalom typeface does not show up in that one either.
😕
No matter how i move the curved text up or down there is always small spots on the text which comes from the item i try to add it.
You know if i have white cap and green text, there is one or two white spot inside every letter.
@@NikkiSebastian Hello, There could be a few reasons. But before I go into potential troubleshooting are you seeing "seams"in the slice section?
Go to slice, uncheck seams. They dont affect the model on or off but it makes it look like the model has white spots in areas where the print head stops to go to the next layer.
If you are running into actual parts of the curve missing
1 the text may need to penetrate more into the model.
Alternatively you can create curved text and export it out from makerworld's maker lab. the biggest issue there is a limited number of fonts available but it is very simple to create curved text there and export it as an STL.
ruclips.net/video/mNaFPv932WA/видео.html
If you are running into any issues feel free to message.
Thanks i will check those soon. Just had a thought it can also be that my text is too small or the 0.4 is too big for that.
When i uncheck seams those white spots disappear.
