¶ Summary
Bambu Studio has reached version 1.4 where cool new features like Dark Mode, SVG to Mesh, and OBS live streaming have been added. We have also added full Arachne Algorithm support with a very useful feature that allows support painting only for overhangs. Check out the full list of new fixes and improvements below.
¶ Bambu Christmas Cabin
Merry Christmas from Bambu Lab Team!
Our very talented colleagues designed this beautiful Christmas cabin model, and we pre-loaded the .3mf model in Studio v1.4 as a Christmas gift from Bambu Lab.
The model is pre-sliced for immediate print. Additionally, we provide a tag board print file to personalize your cabin. May your holiday be filled with great prints!
We wish you and your loved ones the happiest of holidays!
¶ Dark Mode #21 #436
By popular demand, Dark Mode for Bambu Studio is here! This mode is turned on based on the settings of your operating system, and darkens the entire interface of Bambu Studio to help release the strain on your eyes.
It's one of our favorite updates, and we hope you enjoy it too.
¶ Support to send a print job to SD card #115 #590 #651 #658
Past versions of Bambu Studio saved the sliced file on the printer's internal storage temporarily. Our customers wanted the possibility of saving the print files on the SD card, so we are happy to announce this option in Bambu Studio V1.4.
After updating Bambu Slicer, you will be able to choose the location of the files to be saved on the internal SD card.
¶ SVG to Mesh
In Bambu Studio V1.4 we also introduced support for importing SVG files as a model object. This means that you can take any SVG vector file and load it into Bambu Studio to prepare it for printing without needing to convert it to .STL using other tools.
¶ Support OBS live video
Yes, we know. You want to share a live stream of your webcam and the process of doing that was not very friendly. But in our latest version of Bambu Studio, you can now stream the webcam from your printer directly with OBS. It's available under Device Page > Camera setting > Go Live and the documentation for how to use it is available on our wiki.
We chose OBS because it's a popular streaming service that provides fine control over the stream, meaning that at the same time, you get compatibility with the most popular streaming services. We hope you like it 
¶ Support Bambu Lab P1P
Bambu Studio v1.4 introduces slicing profiles for the Bambu Lab P1P, so the slicer is now ready to go with your new P1P which should be arriving soon.
¶ Support for slicing all plates at once
One of the attractive features of Bambu Studio is the possibility of splitting your prints into multiple plates for easy management. In Bambu Studio V1.4 we improved this feature and added the capability of slicing all plates at the same time.
Besides that, you can also send all the plates at once to the printer, and save them to the SD card, making things much easier!
¶ Full Arachne support
Previous versions of Bambu Studio needed some extra work to ensure that the perimeter generation was correctly working with Arachne, and we are happy to be able to finalize the work on this by adding full Arachne support in V1.4.
This means that the external walls are also sliced with the Arachne Slicing Algorithm in Bambu Studio V1.4.
¶ Support painting only for overhangs #401 #431
The support material is used in FDM 3D printing to support the overhanging structures that would not be printable without adding the support material.
In version 1.4 for Bambu Studio, we introduced the option of using the paint tool for support, but paint only the overhanging section of the model. This means that after you enable the "On overhangs only" option, the brush will paint supports only on the sections that actually need it simplifying the process.
This option works in conjunction with the "Highlight overhangs" option where the angle of the overhangs is set.
