Bambu Studio 2.2.0 Beta brings significant accessibility and usability upgrades to 3D printing management. This open-source slicing software from Bambu Lab, built on PrusaSlicer, offers a range of new features currently available for testing on GitHub.
One standout addition is “Fuzzy Skin Painting,” which lets users selectively apply the fuzzy surface effect on parts of a print, instead of toggling it on or off for the entire model. This feature enhances surface customization like never before.
The “Remote Part Skipping” feature is a game changer for multi-part jobs: if one piece fails, operators can now skip it remotely, continuing the print on surviving parts without being physically present at the printer, saving time and filament.
The updated color selector integrates Bambu Lab’s official filament colors, designed with colorblind users in mind, improving accuracy and ease of use. For H2D machines without an AMS, manual filament changes during prints enable multicolor 3D printing through pauses.
Additionally, a new height-based acceleration control automatically slows print speed on taller objects, reducing wobble and improving quality.
Many of these features stem from collaboration with the OrcaSlicer open-source community, highlighting a spirit of shared innovation between the two popular tools.
