You can download the Flathub version for Linux from [Bambu Studio on Flathub](https://flathub.org/en/apps/com.bambulab.BambuStudio) The Flathub version is maintained by @hadess ; thanks to him for his outstanding work. ##### Known Issue: Startup lag on macOS 26.5 and later Some users running macOS 26.5 or 26.5.1 may experience UI lag and steadily increasing memory usage after launching Bambu Studio. In some cases, this can lead to application crashes. The issue appears to be related to the initialization of the built-in WebView and is currently under investigation. See [#11004](https://github.com/bambulab/BambuStudio/issues/11004) / [#10968](https://github.com/bambulab/BambuStudio/issues/10968) for details. ###### Temporary workarounds - Use the [pre-release version](https://github.com/bambulab/BambuStudio/releases/download/v02.07.01.57/Bambu_Studio_mac-v02.07.01.57-pre_release.dmg). - Minimize and then restore/maximize the Bambu Studio window after launch using the window buttons in the top left. - Open any subpage, such as Preferences. - Roll back to [Bambu Studio 2.6.0 Public Release](https://github.com/bambulab/BambuStudio/releases/download/v02.06.00.51/Bambu_Studio_mac-v02.06.00.51-20260417160415.dmg) . We are actively working on a fix and will release it as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience. > ⚠️ Notice for V2.7.0 Public Beta Users: Due to the addition of new machine preset configurations and related placeholders in this release, slicing with V2.7.0 may result in errors in certain scenarios. Please upgrade to V2.7.1 Public Release as soon as possible to avoid these issues. ##### Features ###### Gradient Color Curve Control for Multi-Color Printing Gradient effects now support more flexible layer height control. A Color Curve Panel has been added for gradient colors, allowing users to freely add anchor points (left-click to add, right-click to remove) and drag the color curve to customize the blending ratio of two colors at different Z heights, enabling richer gradient effects.
image image
###### Liveview Full-Screen Support Liveview now supports full-screen display and playback. Thanks to @bdpdx for the contribution, we optimized some frontend interaction features based on his work. > 💡 Tip: Press **ESC** to exit full-screen mode.
image
###### Alternate Extra Wall When enabled, an extra wall is added to alternating layers while other layers retain the original wall count. This option is suitable for improving model structural strength without needing to add extra walls on every layer. Thanks to contributions from @igiannakas and @jomixlaf. > ⚠️ Note: This option is mutually exclusive with Spiral Vase Mode (or 0% infill).
image image > ⚠️ Notes: > - Single-textured models are recommended for now: conversion quality for multi-texture models will be improved in upcoming versions. > - Loading multiple textured models for conversion at the same time is not yet supported. Please import them one at a time. > - Draco-compressed glTF / GLB is not yet supported: support will be added in a future release. > - For models with significant mesh defects, we recommend repairing them before import. This feature provides limited mesh auto-repair, but cannot guarantee a watertight result. > - Due to a third-party library depended on, import errors may occur in some scenarios on macOS and Linux. We will continue to improve this in upcoming versions. ##### Improvements ###### Mesh Defect Diagnostics Improvements Refined parts of the mesh defect detection algorithm: - Improved detection accuracy for non-manifold edges. - Open edges are now counted as a separate category. > ℹ️ Note: Non-manifold edges are reported as Error, and open edges are reported as Info. image ###### Gradient Effect Supported Per-Part Gradient A new "Enable per-part gradient effect" option has been added to the Mixed Filament gradient settings: - On: each part within a combined object receives its own gradient, transitioning smoothly from its own bottom layer to its own top layer. - Off (default): preserves the existing behavior, applying a single gradient across the entire object's Z range. Particularly useful when printing combined objects made up of parts with different heights — each small part can now show a complete, self-contained gradient. image image ###### Painted Color Information Preserved After Plane Cut Painted color information is now preserved after a Plane Cut, so there's no need to repaint the model after cutting. Special thanks to @solidblu for the contribution. (#[10613](https://github.com/bambulab/BambuStudio/pull/10613)) > ⚠️ Note: Minor alignment differences may appear on painted facets near the cut surface. 20260514180630_rec_ ##### Other Improvements 1. Migrated to WebKitGTK 4.1 for better compatibility with modern Linux distributions. Thanks to @jijinbei for the contribution. 2. 3D view preset shortcuts (Ctrl + [0–7]) now work even when the canvas doesn't have focus. Thanks to @mpaperno for the contribution. 3. Traditional Chinese language entry added: Traditional Chinese option is now available under Preferences → Language, allowing Traditional Chinese users to use Bambu Studio in their preferred language.

The shortcut for 'Show labels by Object' has also been updated from Ctrl+E to **Ctrl/Command+Shift+E**. 3. Added an import warning for non-closed STP models. 4. Fixed an issue where the print bed was abnormally filled with model copies in certain scenarios. ([#8841](https://github.com/bambulab/BambuStudio/issues/8841)) 5. Fixed an issue where the 0.6 mm nozzle could not be selected by scrolling on H2C when sync printer.([#10059](https://github.com/bambulab/BambuStudio/issues/10059)) ### v02.06.00.51 — 2.6.0 Public Release(Hotfix) - Date: 2026-04-17 - Version: v02.06.00.51 - Original notes: https://github.com/bambulab/BambuStudio/releases/tag/v02.06.00.51 - Permalink: https://whatsnew.fyi/product/bambu-studio/releases/v02.06.00.51 - Labels: Platforms: Desktop - **fixed** — Fixed an issue where an incorrect End G-code caused the P2S nozzle temperature to not cool down properly after printing - **fixed** — Fixed an issue where A1 sliced files could not start printing in some scenarios - **fixed** — Fixed an issue where H2C slices always assigned to the left nozzle in filament-saving mode - **changed** — Clarified that the current code repository contains Full Spectrum color prediction code This release is a hotfix based on the V2.5.3 Public Release, primarily addressing an issue in which the **P2S nozzle temperature would not cool down properly after printing**. Since delivering this fix through a preset update could affect existing presets for some users on **V2.5.0**, it is instead released as **V2.6.0** to minimize the impact on existing users. If you are using a **P2S** and your current Studio version is **V2.5.3**, we recommend upgrading to this version as soon as possible to avoid this issue. You can download the flathub version for linux from [bambustudio on flathub](https://flathub.org/apps/com.bambulab.BambuStudio) The Flathub version is maintained by @hadess and thanks to him for his outstanding work. ##### Statement on the Color Mixing Feature After receiving feedback from the community, we re-examined the implementation and code paths of the current version. During development of this feature, we evaluated multiple color-mixing prediction approaches, including the **RGB mixing approach** and **Full Spectrum’s prediction implementation**. Under the validation conditions at the time, we chose the **RGB mixing approach that is currently used in v2.5.3**. During development, to facilitate side-by-side evaluation of different approaches, we retained implementation code under evaluation. However, we did not clearly indicate its runtime status in our previous notes. This omission caused confusion for users and the community, and we sincerely apologize. Next, we will do two things: 1. Correct the relevant wording in this release and clearly state that the **current code repository contains Full Spectrum color prediction code.** 2. Based on further validation and more real-world feedback, move forward with formally integrating Full Spectrum’s color prediction implementation. We thank @justinh-rahb and @ratdoux for their contributions in this area, and we also appreciate the open-source community for identifying and monitoring this issue. ##### Bug Fixes 1. Fixed an issue where an incorrect End G-code caused the P2S nozzle temperature to not cool down properly after printing. 2. Fixed an issue where A1 sliced files could not start printing in some scenarios. 3. Removed several unnecessary prompts. 4. Fixed an issue where H2C slices always assigned to the left nozzle in filament-saving mode. ### v02.05.03.62 — 2.5.3 Public Release - Date: 2026-04-14 - Version: v02.05.03.62 - Original notes: https://github.com/bambulab/BambuStudio/releases/tag/v02.05.03.62 - Permalink: https://whatsnew.fyi/product/bambu-studio/releases/v02.05.03.62 - Labels: Platforms: Desktop - **added** — Support for the Bambu Lab X2D printer - **added** — Color Mixing experimental feature allowing mixing of 2 or 3 filaments of the same type with Normal and Gradient modes - **added** — Filament Track Switch support enabling filament from the AMS to be fed into both left and right nozzles of multi-extruder printers - **added** — Linear Fan Speed Transition for part cooling and auxiliary fans with layer-by-layer control V2.5.3 adds support for the [Bambu Lab X2D](https://bambulab.com/en-us), along with new features, improvements, and bug fixes. Please see the release logs of [v2.5.1 Beta](https://github.com/bambulab/BambuStudio/releases/tag/v02.05.01.52) and [v2.5.2 Beta](https://github.com/bambulab/BambuStudio/releases/tag/v02.05.02.51) for the complete list of changes with respect to v2.5.3.The full release notes of v2.5.3 can be found on the Bambu Lab Wiki under the [Bambu Studio Changelog](https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/software/bambu-studio/release/release-note-2-5-3) page. You can download the flathub version for linux from [bambustudio on flathub](https://flathub.org/apps/com.bambulab.BambuStudio) The Flathub version is maintained by @hadess and thanks to him for his outstanding work. ##### Features ###### Color Mixing (Experimental feature) The Color Mixing feature allows you to mix multiple filaments in the same print to create new colors by adjusting the ratio. To use it, click "Add Mixed Filament" at the bottom of the filament list to configure them in the pop-up dialog. - Supports mixing **2** or **3** filaments of the same type. - Mixing modes: - **Normal mode**: Adjust the ratio of two or three colors using the color bar or color triangle in the ratio panel, or select directly from the recommended colors below. With the Bambu Lab CMYK filament kit, a wide range of colors can be achieved — for example, all the boats shown in the left image were printed using the CMYK filament kit on a single plate. - **Gradient mode**: Create gradient color transitions between two colors for rich transitional effects, as shown in the right image. The color prediction part was based on @ratdoux’s approach in OrcaSlicer-FullSpectrum. We thank him for his outstanding work. All other parts were independently developed by the Bambu Studio team. > ⚠ Note: > 1. This feature is experimental. Uploading 3MF files that include mixed filaments to MakerWorld is not currently supported. > 2. This feature is only suitable for near-vertical walls. It is not recommended for sloped surfaces or top/bottom surface color layering. > 3. Single-nozzle printers are not recommended for this feature due to frequent color changes and increased filament consumption. A multi-nozzle printer is recommended for better results. > 4. With a 0.4mm nozzle, a base layer height of 0.12mm and a mixed layer height of 0.2mm are recommended for more uniform color mixing results. Avoid extreme layer height ratios, as excessively small layer heights may trigger melt fracture and degrade print quality. > 5. The color preview model for layered colors is not yet fully accurate. Users with high color requirements are advised to print a small test piece first and fine-tune the settings based on the observed results.

###### Filament Track Switch Support The Filament Track Switch enables filament from the AMS to be fed into both the left and right nozzles of multi-extruder printers (H2C/X2D). Slicing allows a single filament to be printed using different nozzles in this mode, which effectively reduces unnecessary flushing and significantly improves multi-color _[Truncated at 4000 characters — full notes: https://github.com/bambulab/BambuStudio/releases/tag/v02.05.03.62]_ ### v02.05.02.51 — 2.5.2 Public Beta - Date: 2026-03-27 - Version: v02.05.02.51 - Original notes: https://github.com/bambulab/BambuStudio/releases/tag/v02.05.02.51 - Permalink: https://whatsnew.fyi/product/bambu-studio/releases/v02.05.02.51 - Labels: Pre-release; Platforms: Desktop - **added** — Added model/step to the supported MIME type list on Unix systems for improved STEP model integration - **added** — Added support for localized cuts - **changed** — Improved the user experience of Change Type by turning it into a submenu with checkmarks for quicker and clearer selection - **changed** — Refactored GUI parameter input validation to support floating-point minimum and maximum values instead of only integers - **changed** — Updated the macOS CI environment from macos-13 to macos-15-intel for continued build reliability - **fixed** — Fixed unreadable overlay elements in the 3D view on XWayland/Intel platforms - **fixed** — Fixed an issue where the SwitchBoard control could not correctly register left-side mouse clicks when shown on a secondary monitor positioned to the left - **fixed** — Fixed a divide-by-zero exception - **fixed** — Fixed a CLI segmentation fault which could make command-line model workflows unusable - **fixed** — Fixed a crash that could occur when slicing with Fuzzy Skin point distance set to 0 mm - **fixed** — Fixed a memory leak caused by an allocated but uncleared object instance - **fixed** — Fixed window drag lag on Windows - **fixed** — Fixed an issue where acceleration settings on P2S could affect travel moves This is a beta version based on V2.5.1 Public Beta.

The quota/token system has been deprecated. - 2-week free trial with full access for new users. - Product naming is now clearer: - **Assess** (formerly Simulation): predict where a print may fail before you print. - **Enhance** (formerly Optimization): autofix with new speeds; automatically optimizes for speed/strength/reliability/surface gloss. - Improved activation flow. - **Performance Improvements**: Helio now runs with GPU acceleration for both Assess and Enhance, runtimes are reduced compared to previous versions (up to ~5× faster in supported scenarios). - **Compatibility Handling & Safeguards**: - **Multi-material detection**: Jobs containing multiple materials are now explicitly detected, with guidance provided to help users proceed safely. - **Unsupported material handling**: When an unsupported material is detected, users are prompted to: - Select reference material for simulation, or - Switch to a supported material profile. Silent mismatches are no longer allowed. - **Improved matching for custom materials and printers**: - Token-based fuzzy matching is used to identify the closest supported profiles. - Material-type fallbacks and confirmation prompts have been added.
