Install Bambu Studio on Raspberry Pi #

Bambu Studio #

Optimized 3D slicing software for BambuLab and other printers
This is based on PrusaSlicer, but brings project-based workflows, more features, and better default presets.
This will not render the 3D models as smoothly as Cura will, as it is a flatpak running under xwayland.

To run: Menu -> Graphics -> BambuStudio
To run in a terminal: flatpak run --command=entrypoint --file-forwarding com.bambulab.BambuStudio

Fortunately, Bambu Studio is very easy to install on your Raspberry Pi in just two steps.

1. Install Pi-Apps - the best app installer for Raspberry Pi.
2. Use Pi-Apps to install Bambu Studio.

Compatibility #

For the best chance of this working, we recommend using the latest version of Raspberry Pi OS, which is currently version Bookworm.
Raspberry Pi OS has 32-bit and 64-bit variants, both of which will run on most Raspberry Pi computers, including the Pi 3, Pi 4, and Pi5.
Bambu Studio will only run on PiOS 64-bit. Pi-Apps will not let you install Bambu Studio on PiOS 32-bit.
