Install Bambu Studio on Linux
Bambu Studio, released back in 2022 alongside the Bambu Labs X1 3D printer, is an open sourced slicer software based on PrusaSlicer (which in turn, was based on Slic3r).
It is naturally, the weapon of choice for Bambu Labs 3D printers all around the world, due to its seamless integration with the entire range of Bambu Labs machines.
Back when it was released, it was exclusively available for computers running mac OS and Windows operating systems. If you wanted to run it on Linux, you were pretty much stuck with trying to get it to run on a compatibility layer (such as WINE), or on a virtual machine (think VMWare or VirtualBox).
The good news for certain Linux users is that since March 2023, Bambu Studio has been available explicitly for Ubuntu and Fedora. So if you are indeed a Fedora or Ubuntu user, looking to get Bambu Studio installed on your Linux-based system, then read on for information on where to obtain it from, and how to install it.
There are two ways you can install Bambu Studio on Linux:
- Installing Bambu Studio with Flatpak
- Installing Bambu Studio on Ubuntu / Fedora from an AppImage
