Bambu Studio Flush Curved Text

We are using the modifier feature to flatten and curve letters around a model. This feature will work on flat and non uniform surfaces. There is more than one way to do this but this way is by far simpler and more straight forward. A special thanks to the commenter who directed me to this technique.

WOW that turned out great! Big success!😊 I have only played with the slicer.. still waiting for the printer, so never actually tried printing it. Thanks a lot for reference in intro. I am honored 🙏☺️

[@ashleys3dprintshop]

You my friend are awesome! Cut down a lot of manual futzing around in slicer. This opens up a ton of other options now. Thank you. 😄

Based on your intro, I say you are my hero. Thank you for your excellent explanation, the work and effort behind these great vid‘s.

[@ashleys3dprintshop]

The intro was a fun one. But that real thanks is due in the (pinned)comments. I just made a video. lol. Thank you.

[@rache5399]

Wow the more I watch your vids more ecomplex I realize Bambu Studio is and how much more I need to learn to get the most out of it! I created a piece for work and have thought about selling them but have wondered how I could possibly customize them bc they are curved, think you helped me solve that! (If bambu has cute fonts anyway lol)

[@ashleys3dprintshop]

With every question I am learning a bit more and more and with an answer in the comments it shows I have a LONG way to go. lol. If you saw what I was doing before this....*shudder*, it worked, but was a mess. You should be able to install most fonts and it should import into Studio.(with some exceptions) Are you uploading vids too? Time lapse / designs?

[@rache5399]

@ashleys3dprintshop I've thought it about uploading timelapses since I find them mesmerizing but haven't yet. If I do I'd want a diff camera angle for sure!

[@rache5399]

@oljobo yeah I'll have to download some and try it bc I checked & the default fonts are kinda meh

[@noxin75]

Exactly the video I was looking for! Thank you

[@ashleys3dprintshop]

Thank you. 🙂Glad the video was helpful.

[@robbrown6667]

Another good video! Now how do you have text wrap on the top of the cylinder near the edge?

[@CharlesDearingScroller]

Another easy to follow tutorial my friend. I have yet another request. Please do one on adaptive layering. I've seen multiple videos on it, but the way it is explained confused me :/ I know it's purpose is to lessen the jagged layer lines, but how to do it, step by step, confuses me. I hope you can help.

[@ashleys3dprintshop]

Thank you for the kind words. I can certainly take a crack at adaptive layering, uses and steps.

[@CharlesDearingScroller]

@ashleys3dprintshop I knew I could count on you lol. Side note, are you on Facebook?

[@ashleys3dprintshop]

@@CharlesDearingScroller Not at the moment. I have a barely used instagram though. 😂

[@rache5399]

Also, hope you are able to monetize soon!

[@ashleys3dprintshop]

I think the partner application just showed up. I have mostly ignored it so far. Since this channel is a niche(3d printing) inside of a niche(bambu studio) I dont know how much reach I would get. lol. 😂 Maybe I'll drop some video essays or news drops to vary things up.

[@nealwitt]

Wow! Thank you so much!

[@ashleys3dprintshop]

Thanks again. I also released a newer video showing other text options.

[@That_Ultra_Guy]

Text modifier doesn't work like this anymore and I'm struggling to get it to work like this at all

[@ashleys3dprintshop]

Which version of studio are you using? I tried this again with the latest version and it still works. But if you are trying to do it with parts it may crash studio or have unintended consequences.

[@michaelstaples7828]

My text doesn't show up as a different color when I change it, even after I slice it

[@ashleys3dprintshop]

Hello. There is typically 2 steps. 1 change the type to modifier. 2.Then change the color to the corresponding number on your AMS.

[@leonardostreit3527]

Hello, I did everything like you said, but it’s not printing the words in different color

[@ashleys3dprintshop]

Hello. is your text printing the same as your model? Without seeing your specific use case I can offer some recommendations. You should use the modify tool first Then color the text last. If you do the reverse, color, then modify it will not work. So in my example you can click the text on the left, then press the corresponding key on the AMS. (1,2,3,4...)

[@leonardostreit3527]

@@ashleys3dprintshop I don’t know why, but it’s mixing filaments colors

[@ashleys3dprintshop]

@@leonardostreit3527 Are you getting color bleed/blending or discoloration? Are you using colors with a big contrast? Like black and white/ light/dark? If so you may need to increase the purge/flushing amount. Open flushing volumes and adjust multiplier wiki.bambulab.com/en/software/bambu-studio/reduce-wasting-during-filament-change Turn off purge to infill if it is on. There is a technique to reduce purge on butter pocket prints channel as well. So there are a few other things. 1. is this tiny text? 2. What is the layer height? .2, lower?

[@kevinroach9380]

Great videos. How about adding circular text to the top surface of a round object, like the cylinder/rod?

[@ashleys3dprintshop]

Haven't forgotten about you. Working on something that I was unsure would work but it is showing promising results.

[@williamramsay2069]

Does this work with company Logo?

[@ashleys3dprintshop]

In theory yes. I haven't tried it yet but seems like it would be a perfect experiment. Thank you for the question

[@ROCKYPOINT3D]

How about a way to curve text on a flat surface in an arc? Like the text on a coin or bordering a logo?

[@ashleys3dprintshop]

Hello. I think I have just what you're looking for. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqmpgpmPn5KVl68si=Ur0WC4NSMxOAz2wM Go about 18 minutes and 30 seconds there are two options

@@ashleys3dprintshop wow that seems way over complicated. Might have to do my build in Blender...

[@ashleys3dprintshop]

@@ROCKYPOINT3D Yeah. Truly for those who NEVER want to leave the slicer to do things. 🤣

[@Meowinater3000]

Yah, butttt how do you curve the text on a flat surface 🤔

[@ashleys3dprintshop]

Hello, thank you for the question. There are a couple of ways to do it. the long way found here doing everything in slicer kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqmpgpmPn5KVl68 And a newer way using maker world's maker lab, you just have to export out the stl. The biggest downside is the small font selection. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3_Ed4OsbphljaM
