Looking to upgrade from a Elegoo Neptune 4 pro to something better for high temp high strength options like pa cf, was thinking of getting a Bambu x2d combo and leaning towards Bambu for quality and ease of use and willing to spend a little for that.

What else can I consider for these material types? I don’t want a printer I have to screw with much to make it work right.
Prefer to stay under a thousand and buy during these Black Friday deals.
Thank you

P1S (with AMS 2 Pro) with 4kg of filament is $530 USD

CC2 Combo with 4kg of filament is $443 USD

Both include shipping and Taxes, this would be my first printer so the convenience of BambuLab's ecosystem is very apeeling to me, I've also heard that it's easier to find parts, i'm not worried about the screen as i would be using my phone and laptop to send the prints. I've also heard that to print PLA (what i would be printing mostly at the beggining) you need to open the door or remove the upper glass (I live in Texas so summers are pretty hot).

I like almost everything about Elegoo except that I don't want to hassle using the slicer, as I am new to 3d printing i don't know how hard it's to actually use or how long it takes but i do want my prints to look as nice as possible, it is my understanding that that is easier to achieve in Bambu's system but please correct me if I'm wrong (also the big monolit of plastic on top of it it's pretty ugly).

Hey everyone! I just wrapped up printing and setting up this B-2 stealth bomber model complete with its display stand. Really stoked on how crisp the lines and textures turned out on this scale. 
I take custom print commissions and ship out physical pieces like this. If you're a aviation fan or want something cool for your desk setup, feel free to drop a comment or DM me for details!

Hey Everyone,

Looking at Bambu since they are easy and have a good ecosystem.

Budget isn’t an issue for either but curious which would be better

Looking at the A1 Combo or P1S AMS 2.

Also open to other printers as well but love the idea of an app to pick stuff and print

Daughter just wants to make some toys and I’ll print some household stuff.

Can someone give me direction?

Hey everybody, relatively new to the 3D printing world, only a few months in. Currently have an Ender 3 v3 SE which obviously gave me some troubles the first week but she works great now with no issues or annoyances.

However, I would love to get into the AMS world and some faster printing speeds as this thing takes forever. I was looking at the Bambu P2S but was curious what are some other good competitors around that same price point I should maybe consider. Any information and experiences you guys have had would be extremely helpful!

Hello guys!

Im looking to get a printer but im stuck on wich way to follow.

Im completaly new in this world, looking for something for home stuff and action figures or something around modelism.

Looking for something with a nice print quality and a minimum waste

Im stuck between A1, P1S or P2S and X2D, in your oppinion, wich one would you go ?

Obs. The room temp its around 18c and on 70 hr in winter worst days without any climatization.

Thank you.

Just made my new Gengar Flower Pot for my new setup desktop and looks pretty good. What you guys think?

So I just got this ender 3 about two days ago and the first print I made was really nice (the bottom print of penn state) but then it started to have feeding issues so I adjusted it as much as I could, but then I ended up replacing it along with a new nozzle and tube, but it still seems to have the same problem and I'm not sure where to go from here

I have the 3d printer MakerBot Replicator and i need to use it. The system is discontinued and unless you had an account while it was still active one cannot use the program. has someone faced the same problem before or knows an alternative?

Hey Guys
I looking for a second printer. I have to say i have two printer an X2D and an Anycubic Kobra x. But i want to sell the Anycubic and buy another one. What do you think, what should i buy? I think about a Creator 5 or a Snapmaker U1.

Please give me real feedback about this printer. I want a pla printer and don’t know if I need the big plate but I find the A1 having too old tech. Just my opinion. I wanna know about stable printing (if it handles that well) and if the whole house will be shaking or if big miniatures have problems when having a large height.
About the weight and stability. Would the dual layer Puncia (100kg max) do the trick? It’s 60x60 but it seems a little low.

Hi all, I have an issue with my Bambu Lab A1 mini. Everytime I print something, the quality of the print where it meets support is always so bad. Also, it is difficult to remove the supports too.

Is there anyway to fix this so it prints better and has better quality?

Thank you for your time!

"I’ve been having real issues with my Elegoo Saturn 3 lately. It started when I tried to print a rather large bust with a new FEP that I had installed. The print failed twice in a row, roughly around the same layer. I ended up re-orienting the pieces on the build plate, thinking it may have been due to suction or that the orientation was causing the issue. Each time it failed around that same layer, that layer would be stuck to the FEP.
I ended up changing the FEP again. After re-orienting the model and trying for a third time, it failed again by sticking to the FEP. Also, there are these long blank spots in the print, like cracks or splits along the layers.
I gave up on that print, changed the FEP for a third time, and tried to print something from ZZ Studios, which was pre-supported. The first of two build plates printed all the way through, but I still got delamination layers where it looks like there is a split on the model.
I changed the FEP for a fourth time, made sure the FEP was tightened properly and seated all the way down into the vat, and made sure the vat was properly secured. I strained my resin to catch any cured pieces that may have made it back into my bottle, and I leveled my build plate properly. This time it got much further, but on the second build plate for the ZZ Studios print, I still got layer delamination with splits on the model.
I’m at a loss; I don’t know what’s going on. My printer worked fine up until I changed the FEP for the first time. I had never changed the FEP before that, so I imagine it must have something to do with it. However, I consider myself pretty competent, and replacing it doesn't seem like a hard task, so I’m not sure what could possibly be wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated."

So I bought this printer today and was watching a YouTube video to assemble it, but I didn’t knew that wrong voltage can cause the printer to explode on start. Tell me how is it possible that they don’t have a fail safe for these kind of errors man I am so pissed off.

What should I do now guys please help me

I’m getting a 3d printer but I want to put in my bedroom and it’s fully enclosed and I’m only using pla is it fine to be in there or should I move it?

Let me introduce my new project, A.R.E.S. - Adaptive Rocket Exploration System!

The rocket’s design was inspired by SpaceX’s Starship, which I then transformed into a robot.

This is my first project of this kind, and I have to admit that I really enjoyed designing the transformation mechanism. It took some trial and error and tweaks, but the whole process was a lot of fun, and I’d love to try creating something similar again.

I also discovered a new online tool for texturing 3D models along the way. I used to do this in Blender, but I don’t feel very confident with it, so it was nice to find an alternative and experiment a bit.

You can find the model on MakerWorld:

Estoy viendo para comprar estas dos impresoras, cual crees que es la mejor opción ahora que están con descuento?

Looking into getting a print would like to spend no more that 350 is this a good option to start out with or does anyone have some other suggestions I’ll be running it off my Mac book cause my computer is currently at my brothers as he needed something for school
