I’m using the image to keychain tool from bambu which is awesome, however I’ve added some text to the model via Bambu studio but when I slice the model it doesn’t show the text at all and won’t print it. Do I have to assemble/combine the text with the keychain model?

    When you slice the keychain, have you painted in the letters with the chosen colors? Does it show the purge tower after slicing? And when you click to send it to the printer, does the popup screen show 2 spool images and colors? If it does, then the text is there and just embedded below the surface. and you need to raise it up to be flush with the surface.

    Bambu Studio is ass for embedding text and some others things as well. Orca Slicer and Prusa Slicer a lot better with adding text.

      I figured this out. My depth of the text was wrong and I was able tofiguree out how to embed the text into the project so we are good! I’ve tried orcaslicer but it won’t open on my fedora setup for some reason and I’m also running Bambi studio in docker which is nice.

        Yeah, Orca has issues with Fedora. The appImages often fail in particular. But I do have it running on Fedora Cinnamon 42 and Aurora 42, (spin off of Kinninite 42) with the flatpack from the GitHub.
