Good stuff, keep up the good work!
Appreciate it!
Im brand new to the 3d printing world. This video helped a tons. Thanks.
Thank you. Welcome to the 3d printing community.
Thank you. Just learning all things related to 3D printing. Yours is one of my "go to" channels for Bambu Slicer. Usually have to watch a few times for things to click in. Like that the videos are short and generally one topic at a time. At this stage of the game I find I get overwhelmed if the lessons are too lengthy. Subscribed
Wow, thanks! I am honored. I like making videos I personally watch. Step by step or at least condensed into the important things.
You are awesome. 😀
Thanks! I was trying to figure out how to recess letters earlier without a lot of help from my limited searching, this was on point.
Thank you. I have to update this video as a bunch more techniques have become know to me.

If you have the AMS and want to paint the text. Select both objects in the object tab. right click and hit Mesh boolean. They now become one model and you can use the paint tool to paint just the top layer of the bottom of the text. Doesn't take much more time to print and do not use much material at all.
Yes indeed. Looking back at this video I realized mesh boolean wasn't even a option. Assembly and mesh can help with coloring.
Good call out. 😁
So 1st Thank You!!🎩🪄👍 for your help.
I am far from knowing what I’m doing. I was able to put on. Rich The Magic Man but now I want to put another line that says happy birthdays, but I am having the darndest time. Could you please give me some advice.
I feel like that little pink doctor goes on there doesn’t look like the text and I can’t see anything through the print. Hope that makes sense. Look forward to hearing from you again.

Thank you for watching and commenting.
Thanks a ton, I am a small train parts shop and I have wanted to put our name on the parts we have designed and printed to discourage copy right theft. It may help but in Cura or S3D is was so hard, I stopped doing it. I just upgraded to Klipper and now to Orca and wow so much capability is realy exciting, Great tuorial, the process looks simple and straight forward. Thanks for a great effort. Dennis aka Frankentrain Laboratories.
Hello, I am glad I could be of help. There are a few other techniques too. Like flush text and embedded logos in my other video. I am going to sneak over to your channel. 😁
thnx man! at first I wanted letters in a different color but I gues you shouldnt print them sideways but rather from top to buttom and also my letters were really small so they became really ulgy. Now i tried again with the 0.10 thickness setting you showed on the video because i can only print this text sideways because the modle is not able to print in the other direction. Also I just did 1 color now. Hopefully this time the letters will be better. Thanks for the information man!
Hello. I tend to print horizontally as I am impatient but you can definitely try vertically. Not show here but you can print the part with a deboss(negative part) and print the letters separately with another color and assemble it after printing.

I have a x1-Carbon Bambu Lab
How do I change text color and see text in preview
You will not be small long, keep ths up.
Thank you I appreciate that.
If U wanna put text on front and back side of the object. How can U put both of them in exact postion. Tried mulitple times but text on one side is always little off (lower/higher) than text on other side. Thanks in advance for help
Liked text video on Bambu . Can you change text to a different colour on model . New to all this ,have Bambu p1s
Hello, welcome to the channel and Thank you for the question.
Yes you can change the color of the model inside of bambu studio.
There could be 2 parts to this answer
*part 1*
If you have an AMS typically the Bambu studio will show which colors you have or you can select your own.
by
going the left you will see the colors and numbering. If you only see one color click the + button near "flushing volumes" (you can add up to 16 colors even if you dont have 4 AMS units).
and you will add a filament. You can change the color by clicking the color with the number inside.
*****************
*Part 2*
One the colors/filaments are added you can either right-click on the model, on the build plate, go to "select filament", then chose the color.
or *go to the left side*
find the model you want to change color
click the number on the model or text shape in this case my models were pink(1). when you click it you will see the other colors you selected in part one.
Lastly (but not necessary you can paint each letter manually)
***********************
Side note This only changes the colors in the slicer. You will of course need to match the colors in the AMS unit when you print.
If you don't have an AMS it gets a little more advanced to change colors manually but it can be done.
Some of my other videos kinda shows this.

Hello Ashley, Great instruction. I am a newbie and am loving learning all the features of my Bambu printer. I do have a question. What is the reason that the printer prints a small rectangular strip in the back of the build plate when you print multiple colors.
Hello there and welcome.
The small rectangular strip, when printing multi color, is called a "prime tower".
When your printer changers colors it will eject filament out the back(poop chute) then purge more into that rectangular block. There is a way to disable it but you may get color bleeding of one filament to another of it is off. Some colors require more purging over others think black/white but that block is generally a good thing to keep your colors nice and separated.
The prime tower will also show up of you use the "smooth" time lapse feature. The print head parks over the chute before a picture is taken. In that case if cannot be disabled.
If you have any questions I will try my best to answer. I'll try to keep my videos and answers "bite size" so it's easier to digest.😁
Super helpful! Is there a way to center text on the surface/ align?
Currently the placement of text is manual so there isn't a alignment tool or centering option.
Hey, great video thanks for the help. How do you have the letters on the bottom of a print? Say like a coaster?
Great question. I have a video up which should be helpful for making coasters or flush text for the bottom of a print.
th-cam.com/video/JLolrSFryyA/w-d-xo.html
nice !!! youRock ... I need to print just letter standing up,, like name to be on top of a desk,.. thank you
Great idea! I have you started it yet
Good work! i=Is there a way to add an Arc to the letters inside bambu labs? say we wanted to put a name around a flat oval xmas ornament?
Thank you. There isnt a direct way to have them arc in the slicer.
***************************
You can sorta do it by placing letters one by one and rotate them with the "angle" function.
*******************
I have been playing around with creating a sphere or cylinder, wrapping the text with "surface" checked. then remove the object and keeping the text. There is a lot of manual adjustments. partial steps here th-cam.com/video/UekEbg_ZkgI/w-d-xo.html
***************
BUt the simplest way may be just creating the circular ornament and importing it. It does not have to be in a CAD program. Just any program that can export a SVG file. If you have a all purpose photo editor without a SVG export you can create a PNG/jpeg upload it to vector.ai and use that. I would recommend keeping the item simple. To many edges/colors cause errors.
Very nice tutorial, thanks a lot!
I have the following question:
Instead of adding the text like that:
„Test“
is there a way to add it so:
„T
E
S
T“
But without adding every letter as a new text object cuz then I was not able to automatically align them..
Thanks and keep up the good work! 🙏
Thank you. So... The short answer is yes you can... The longer answer it requires some steps and manually adjustments. 😢
Hello Ivans, yes you can ... just try the '' ANGLE '' ... when you enter a text .....
How about how to use a different filament color to fill in an embedded text object? So, surface flush with the rest of the part, but a different color?
Hello.😁 There are a few options found in this video. So you can color text, deboss, color deboss etc.
th-cam.com/video/DxFQfYj-baM/w-d-xo.html
Great video, is there a way for it to be flush...like painting writing on something?
Thank you for the kind words. There are several ways to create flush text and paint them.
I've compiled a list of videos that go over common topics here
th-cam.com/video/lPwMEcPkfqc/w-d-xo.html
Great video on several aspects of text. I've only had my A1 mini for a week but I'm having a blast. This video got me over the hump of working with text. Your tip of going from Global to Objects also showed me how to solve printing the text in a different color at the group level. Maybe I missed it but is there a way to center text on the object? I did right click the object text and saw there was a CENTER option. I clicked that but my text went away. Perhaps it moved it to the center of my entire model instead of just centering it on the front of the object where I dragged it.
Than you very much. Unfortunately the center object moves it to the center of the plate. So there are some manual adjustments needed.
For sure. I have had many of the chinese 3D printers but this is the first one that actually print without all kinds of tweaking, adjusting and swearing. I am have a blast as well, wish I had know about the A1 before got my A1 mini 2 weeks ago, just ordered an A1.
@@sundance2005 That A1 mini to A1 was kinda a rug pull. lol. Both seem very capable but the price difference wasnt too crazy, so I could see the A1 being more popular than the A1 mini if size was an issue.
It's a breath of fresh air focusing more on my prints than the printer. Started with an ender 3 pro...The things I learned were valuable but if I had to do it again....😧
Great vid. Where did you get the file from so I can follow along?
Thank you. You can actually make those in the slicer. If you "right click"
add primitive
Select cube, sphere cylinder etc.
Does the embedded depth allow you to make the text flush with the rest of the model? For example, if I want to print white letters flush on a cube, can I set thickness to, say 1mm, and embedded depth to 1mm?
That was one of my first videos so it did not go over flush but here is a quick video that shows you how to do it. Its rough on though without edits as someone else had a similar question.
th-cam.com/video/7lHRFkmK9cc/w-d-xo.html
Hey there... Just found your channel. How would you put text or a shape into a part so that it is actually blank space, or open space?
Hello, welcome to the channel. Thank you for the question.
As I understand the question you wish to potentially cut text or a shape into a part?
There are 3 ways to do it
I can refer you to a few videos that may be helpful. Modifier, Negative parts ,mesh boolean.
Mesh boolean (this will be good if you need to make the cavity permanent then add the text after)
th-cam.com/video/z4l75T6jliA/w-d-xo.html
Text More text options
th-cam.com/video/DxFQfYj-baM/w-d-xo.html
Negative Creating holes or filling them

Hello, great video. Im new to 3d printing. Im making keychains for my business. Ive figured out how to fill the bed with the item. My question is, is there a way to stack print with supports to get multiple layers as well? I have the bambu a1 mini using the bambu slicer program.
Hello👋. That is a very interesting idea. It is theoretically possible to stack multiple layers but I forsee some quality issues on the layer touching the supports.
So thinking about it
~~~Print
****support layer(petg)
~~~Print (pla)
___Base plate
Pla/petg don't bond so it's possible to do. 🙂I haven't tried it personally but would make for in interesting topic.
@@ashleys3dprintshop I agree, I just got my printer so I'm not familiar with the detailed functions. But would like to see that in a future topic. 👍🏾
Can you create the objects in BBS? If not where did you make them, Tinkercad or similar and import them?
If you are creative you could make objects in Studio but it may take some skill with cutting, assembling, negative parts, mesh boolean. ideally you would import an existing model/stl from tinkercad, blender etc. The only "creation items" are simple primitives' like cube, sphere, cone, cylinder but it is theoretically possible to build something. .(right click, add primitives)
Studio can be good with simple modifications like adding text. combining items, cutting, resizing in fill, walls and so on.
From one of my later videos I showed how to make a light box 95% within slicer with a single SVG image file. The other 5% was getting the svg file. lol.
I think with my "Bambu studio for beginners" playlist it is geared towards getting everyone comfortable using the slicer to get good results without switching to other programs but for truly custom jobs it may require another program.
Thank you for sharing your content. Quick question. When I print raised text on the side of my part it doesnt look good at all. Looks very choppy (if that makes sense). Do you know why this would be happening? Thank you.
A lot of it would depend on the size of the text and the orientation. Printing text on the side of an item has to put the letters together line by line which won't look as good as making it print face up, or flat.
If you have to print with the letters on the side you can try lowering the layer height from 0.2 to something lower. Just keep in mind when you make the layer height it will increase the print time
@@ashleys3dprintshop Thank you so much!
Great instructional - Thank you.
Can you tell me how to add multiple lines of text? That is where I am struggling.....
Thank you. the text field only allows one line at a time. You can
place text down(T shortcut)
"click out the model"
Click onto the model again
place text down(T shortcut) again
@@ashleys3dprintshop Thank you again! That worked. I was doing everything but clicking out of the model! Once I did that, BOOM. Done.
@@TheSwordRules that's great to hear. 😁
Great tutorial, just one thing I’m confused about. Should the thickness be set to zero whenever you embed the text? What if you imbed the text say to 3.00 and set the thickness to 3.00 while having it set to negative part. Does it cancel itself out and then its flush with its surroundings?
Great question. When you set the part to negative it changes it's characteristics. It doesn't matter what the thickness is just the embedded matters.
I made the reference in video so you can see it go into the model when you embed but unless you make it a negative part embedding alone doesn't do much.
The last embed to negative example, with the cylinder, shows that I didn't shrink the thickness at all. Just changed the embed and made it negative.
Of course there is one example where you would want to shrink the thickness if the letters touch the model in multiple places.
Thank you! I’m a subscriber now!
@@Landonomous Thank you, I appreciate the support.
Hw do you make it in colour ?
Looking at the left side of the screen 3:28
Each model or text object gets a number. Click on the number to change the color to the correct AMS slot.
anyway to easily color the text differently from the object.? If i split into objects i can't put it back together. and split into parts is not visible.
You shouldnt need to split into objects to color. There are a few ways but the simplest ison the left. Right click the text entry and select the color. Conversely you can press the number key ams slot. 1 for first l
Slot for 4 for fourth slot.
Some of my later videos do it within the workflow
Is there anyway to add text, but make it a separate layer for coloring it different?
Hello. Yes there are ways to add color to your text. Here is an updated video that goes over adding text and simple coloring.

I could not get the text to transfer over to the frit on the plate
It would not transfer and I’m not sure how you do it I’m following your tutorial any help would be appreciated
Hello, Are you adding text to the plate directly or onto a model?
Adding text to the model should be
click the model
press the "T" key or click the text key
Create your text in the "input text" field
then move the mouse cursor over to the model and left click on it,
You can't create text directly on the plate but there is still a way to create it and disconnect it from the part.
th-cam.com/video/xUVy83HoYgM/w-d-xo.html
I hope this answers your question.
Can it do a stroke outline model like a Marshall amp logo without a base shape ? Black stroke White letters for example.
You cannot do it within Bambu Studio without major headaches but there is a way to do it with other programs. I will upload a video with instructions soon.
Great question.

Is there a way to color the recessed letters? I have an AMD.
Hello, Yes there is a way to color the recessed letters.
There are other techniques as well but here is the direct video and time marker.
th-cam.com/video/DxFQfYj-baM/w-d-xo.html
I just want to add text in a different color on a surface, I don't want it to stand out or cut into the object, is there a way to do it easily? thanks.
Yes. During my time using the slicer there is a very simple way to do it. So some of the info here is a little out of date.
1. Add your text. Change the color on the left. you can just press the number corresponding to your number slot.
2. Set your layer height *thickness* for the text to at least 1-2 layers. For instance at .2mm layer height it would be .2mm thickness .4mm for 2 layers etc
3. This is a little trickier at first but you can use the move tool to lower the text into the model so the text is flush.
Here is an example
th-cam.com/video/F7L2_R4zEXI/w-d-xo.html
If you run into any issues let me know.
How do you then export as an STL with the sunken text? I tried and it doesn't save any of the text when exportin STL.
Hello. Thank you for the question. While not covered in this video you can do it with mesh boolean.
th-cam.com/video/z4l75T6jliA/w-d-xo.html
This will make a permanent change to the model and you can export it out as an stl.
have you ever tried new font installed? I installed new font and install it to my windows, I already can use it in another app, but in Orcaslicer my new font is not appearing.
Sorry about the delay. I have been investigating the font issue. Some fonts show up fine and others do not. I checked to see if it was due to digital signing, ttf(True Type Font) otf(open type font) or PostScript fonts and so far I havent found the direct link yet I will still investigate but it seems hit or miss which fonts are showing when I installed a bunch.
What if you want the text on the BASE of the model, on the bed in 1st layer?? I can drag everywhere except under the model. Liked and subbed! thanks!
Thank you very much. I just dropped a video addressing just that.

When I change the filament color on the text.. a separate box pops up with both the filament colors I used.. it's weird.. then when I print.. that box is also printed? How to delete that box?
That little block is called a "prime tower.
It equalizes the pressure in the nozzle,cleans residue from the nozzle so your multicolor prints wont have blobs, stringing or defects. I would run a test print to see if your parts are acceptable with and without the prime tower.
You can turn it off under the
global process
Others tab
Uncheck prime tower.
Also the prime tower will show up if you do a "smooth timelapse".
How do I change the color of the prepare so I can see the text I have a bamboo one - carbon would love to show you some pictures just because it’s so frustrating but I’m not giving up
Hello, you can add your colors in the prepare tab a few different ways.
If you already have the colors set in your AMS you can press the sync button
If you look at the section next to filament
*Filament* < *flushing volumes* < *+* *-* Sync* icon
Press the sync icon and sync or resync the AMS colors.
Or
If you just want to add filaments manually press the + button on that section from there you can change colors in the prepare section manually.
Press the color on the 1 -16 and manually change them here.
Will try. Also had trouble dragging the text over.
Only get a pink box.
The text is there but not real visible it’s kind of weird. It like shows up behind the object. I’m a magician and I’m putting something on our card case. Thank you for your help. I really appreciate it and your time.
So I thought I was able to change the text color but then when it printed, it took forever and it did not print print. I think maybe I didn’t sync it but I don’t think so. I’m not sure. Your help is appreciated.
I just feel like my diagram is black and it’s hard to see the text when you’re setting it up. If you have time, let me know your thoughts. Love this re-printing, but I’m not good at it lol
Can you add color inside of the letters?

When you change TYPE to NEGATIVE PART, how can you color the letters?
When you make a part negative you can't paint it. Its like a hole.
Hi, thanks for the video. Just purchased a P1P and had a bit of time on Bambu labs. I've vectorised a png file and loaded into Bambu labs, the file is my business name with the slogan underneath all to scale etc. Its looking great but I'd like to increase the height of the text only and not the background so it pops out. Trouble is Bambu labs doesn't see it as text, just as one complete model so I can only increase the height of the full model (text and background). Any ideas how I can get around this or is it a case of designing again in Bambu labs?
Hello. Bambu printers are pretty neat. I can definitely help.
I have a question did you vectorize it with the vectorizer.Ai website or did you create it yourself? If you used the website there is a very simple fix for just the letters.

I’m trying to embed text on orca slicer 1.9 but the embedded text slider isn’t there
Orca has made some big changes since this video came out, leaning more into Prusa slicer settings than Bambu Studio.
Use the depth tool, to set the penetration
Click "Use surface"
So let's say you want to go 5mm embedded into the model
1.select text tool(t key)
2. Click surface.
3 Create text/place text
4 set depth to 5mm
Set to negative if you wanted to deboss or color it with your chosen filament.
You can also use the move tool (m key) to sink it into the model.
Thank you for the question.
@@ashleys3dprintshop wow thanks for the response! I actually played around with some settings and found my own method.
Steps
-Create text as normal on your part
- go to global objects and select the text
-right click on the text and change from object from a “part” to a “negative” in the drop down menu.
- change hieght along z axis to get the desired embedded depth or to cut fully through your part.

How can I change color of text after adding it
Hello. There are a few ways to change color.
At the top of the slicer there is a paint tool or you can press the "N" key.
From there you can use the paint bucket tool to color in your letters. There are other ways to change colors as well.
You can go to objects process, click the text. Then press the number of the color in your AMS.
Can you "bend" text?
Sorta but the true answer is no.
I didnt mention it but on some curved surfaces you can select the "horizontal text" and it will bend slightly conforming to the model, but you will not have any real control over it.
So even with "Angle" (tilt) or horizontal text your options are limited.
The only real solution right now is to make multiple text entries and place the letters manually.
do you receommend a next level software for noobs to jump into after mastering Bambu Labs?@@ashleys3dprintshop
I’ve tried to edit text on an existing model. There must be a trick. I change the text but the edit doesn’t seem to take.
To be most specific I downloaded an stl file. It has a text object. I want to change the text. I select the object, say edit text. Type in new text. Hit return. I go back to the object and the text has not changed?
Thankl you for reaching out. Editing text on an existing model can be extremely difficult. Since the text was not created in studio you wouldn't be able to edit it. All is not lost though.
Is the text flat on a surface? If it is you can "fill in" the text with a part..or wipe it with a negative

and use "mesh boolean" to make it permanent.

From there you can make your own text.
If it is curved text it can be done with combination of these steps but I would need to see the model to give you better advice.
It is a stl from makers world (Screw Organizer for Bambu Tidy). I’m new to the 3D printing world and struggling to get up to speed . Edit text does bring up the text object with all its attributes. Unfortunately the model has several text objects so complicate solutions are painful.
thank you for your response
@@steveray8186 OK, just took a look at it. No wonder you ran into issues, the moment you edit the text it goes completely wonky.
I think I have a solution though.
Right click the model, split into objects
(all the the text falls to the bottom) so move the main part and delete the text at the bottom.
Then you can add text normally. It will require manual positioning though.
Hope this helps

hmn, I'm still looking for a way to ad text to my model on the bottom, completly flush and just use my ams
Without seeing your model I can offer a general idea of how to make it flush.
Let's say your model is a coin 5mm.
1.Flip the coin so writing side is face up.
(this is optional but could help)
Make your model 1mm taller in Z, turn off "uniform scaling"
2.Add your text. Set an embed depth to 2mm. The thickness wont matter in this scenario
3.Select the cut tool
cut the first 5 mm. you will only need the bottom part.
Flip the coin so the writing is face down.
Slice then print.
Just made a quick video about making flush text. You can print it flush to the plate or flush in general.

I can’t put 2 lines of text & see it.
Like print preview
Perhaps I can make a video showing the steps. 😁 Luckily it's not overly difficult but there are some steps that make it easier to do.
There is an order of operations when placing text. th-cam.com/video/mNaFPv932WA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=s82TydeNjgmkiEVm
Go about 15:25 on that video above.
can you do a video on how to erase text from 3d print files
Sure I can take a look. Do you have a model in mind? Some of the steps may vary depending on how the text is on the model.
@@ashleys3dprintshop yes i printed a rc car stand from thingverse and it had the maker name on it . i couldn't remove it in bambu studio
@@damaylaphoenix1155 I made a video that touched on this a short time ago.
th-cam.com/video/e146NGNfhr0/w-d-xo.html
I could revisit it since I have gone over mesh boolean which is a more advanced version of the technique shown.
But the general idea is there.
@@ashleys3dprintshop thank you !😀
Good grief... I just sent you a reply on another video that you couldn't "place" the text! Hahaha. This is great! Thank you!
HA HA. I just saw that. I'm glad this video could help.
On the cylinder text, is it possible to have it on different color than the body? Can the AMS print this?
Yes. Thank you for the question. You can create text and color it with the AMS.
Here is an updated video for other text techniques.

I cannot get my Bambu lab X1-Carving to bring print over from Bambu studio?
It did now it will not
Can you help please:)
Thank You!!🎩🪄👍
