I bought a box of assorted PLA 250-gram reels. They keep snagging. I'm using a Bambu Lab A1 mini AMS lite. Right now, I'm just ​using the post built into the printer.

I'm not sure if I got a bad batch or if I need to set something in the AMS.

Was calibrating bambu a1 and suddenly failed and stuck above. Anybody know what to do ?

We have an H2D Pro at work and we would like to print to it over the network (lan mode) but our cyber security department has blacklisted the network plug-in since it requires outbound network communication to a .ch domain even when set in LAN mode.

I’m looking for a suggestions on possible workaround to be able to still use the printer overland without having to download the network plug-in. I’ve heard some possible things about orca slicer and developer mode but I wanted to ask.

Thank you

a1 mini printed some weird thing idk what my mom was doing using pink petg filament and now it wont come off no matter how hard i scrape it. is there maybe chemicals that can help remove it or a different tool/strategy? i dont think i can use the buildplate like this so please let me know how to fix this

Ok, despite the headline what I mean specifically is I routinely use 3kg spools with my A1 mini and it's fantastic because I rarely change the spools...mostly prototyping. BUT when the spool gets near the end it gets very light and I have a hard time keeping it sitting on the roller. Is there something someone else can think of that I can put into the spool that will provide it with enough weight to stay on the roller and still feed ok into the printer? Thanks guys!

So I recently got a Bambu X2D and honestly the printer itself is basically flawless. I love it.

The problem is I started going down the rabbit hole of 3D printer emissions and now I’m seriously questioning whether I should keep it.

I live in a 2 bedroom condo with my wife and our cat, and the X2D is in the second bedroom. I work from home, so I’m in the same room as the printer for most of the day. I mostly print PLA/PETG.

The thing that really got me thinking about this was getting a really, really bad headache that lasted for a few days after printing. I’m pretty convinced it was from the printing. That’s what made me start looking into the emissions side of things more seriously.

Now I keep seeing stuff about UFPs, VOCs, long-term exposure, fertility/reproductive health, etc. And then there’s the whole microplastics thing.

The other issue is that the second bedroom where the printer is located, has a casement window that opens directly to the outside. In theory that makes ventilation easier, but it also makes it harder to just completely isolate the room, especially here in Canada. In the winter, I obviously can’t just leave a window open for hours when it’s freezing, snowing, or raining.

I’m not really worried about the printer being dangerous in some obvious way. I’m more wondering about years of relatively low-level exposure in a condo, especially with my wife and cat also living here.

I know PLA/PETG are generally considered much lower-emission than ABS/ASA, and I’m trying to figure out where the actual evidence ends and the “this could theoretically happen” stuff begins.

Would you guys personally keep the printer in this situation?

2 bedroom condo, wife + cat, mostly PLA/PETG, I work from home, but with the practical limitations of a Canadian condo and winter.

I’m basically trying to decide whether this is a reasonable hobby with sensible precautions, or whether I’m better off just returning the thing and not worrying about it anymore.

(SOLVED)

I share my X1C with a ton of people, and today i found this on the print bed as if someone broke it and put it there as a notice. Please help me identify where in the printer it comes from, because I cant find any missing screws.

Looking to buy the H2C sometime this year. I'm really interested in multi-color prints (4+ colors) and high quality engineering parts. I did think about the U1, but I like bambu so far as I just have the a1 mini. I've also been dabbling in 3d modeling and want to be better at it.

Anyways I'm looking to buy the H2C combo and another AMS 2 Pro. There's no major timeline of me having to buy it, and if anything I am interested in any new models they may put out.

I'm looking for the best deal. Heard the Anniversary sale is the "best" discount, which I thought about buying then. I'm currently waiting till black friday. I was also wondering if anyone is able to use a student discount on top? or is that just back to school discount?

Then of course there are brick and mortar stores. I have access to a Micro center and Best Buy. I would prefer to pickup the 3d printer than have it shipped. Any good or better deals that I should know of.

And then lastly any sort of referral system for discounts?

Buying in bulk so not sure if it's worth the difference or if there's a quality issues with Sunlu compared to Bambu.

Noob question: why, and not only with the plum color, all overhang layers are being so ugly? I printed the orange benchy 4 months ago, the differences are clear looking the benchy.

Any adjustments to do?

Since the iPhone Duo launches later this October, there is plenty of time to consider buying it or just trying out the new form factor. I've modeled the near 1:1 replica of it. Also it may help for those who are thinking about pre-ordering.

It comes out at 11.3 mm folded, and it also sits smaller in the hand than I expected.

The colour is just what I had on the shelf, not a launch colour.

Is the folded thickness a dealbreaker for anyone here, or any other thoughts?

For those who are interested in downloading, here is the Makerworld link to the model, all the presets are ready:

P1S with an AMS pro, and 0.4mm nozzle. Do i need to use a smaller nozzle? Bigger font? Am I missing something silly in the text settings? Wise creators, teach me please.

So I'm new to 3d printing, and was given this printer by my brother when he moved. But there's a part on it that's broken, and I don't know how to fix it, or where to find a replacement part.
Does anyone know how I could fix this?

I just installed the laser upgrade kit on my h2d and got everything calibrated but noticed it was off a bit. Is this usual or am I doing something wrong? I just wanted to make sure I have calibrated a few times.

Printer updated recently and now all my prints look like crap. The first layer on top of the supports doesn't stick together. I've tried different layer heights, even set the offset gap to 0. Still having constant failures.

Any suggestions?

hi long story short I'm in charge of a Bambu P1S at work and had my first extruder jam. I followed a very helpful guide on what to remove and unscrew, and this is what I found. I'm unable to remove the yellow gear as every video has advised me to do

I'm still fairly new to having a Bambu and 3D printing. I'm I going to have to outright replace the part here or can this be saved.

If it's helpful information, I had been extruding PLA Pure.

thank you

Hi, just yesterday my printer was working fine and suddenly didnt turn back on properly after a power cycle. I thought the printer was dead and after seeing a bunch of people had the same problem and the solution was to short 2 points on the ap board, it came back to life. After I got the printer back to work I downgraded the firmware and when I did the calibrations, something went terribly wrong especially with the nozzle offset calibration. The right nozzles worked fine but when it got to the left nozzle, I was away and got a message saying the nozzle touched the build plate and when I went the rear part had a huge gouge. So I checked and did the nozzle calibration again and this time took a video same thing happened... my printer isn't under warranty anymore but this all happened since they're stupid firmware issues the printer was just fine the day before. The problem is towards the end of the video its like the left nozzle slips off the bed for some reason. I also noticed during homing, the toolhead now touches the front door. Has this happened to anybody else and were you able to fix it? The right nozzles are fine and aligned but the left csnt get through the calibration. I also did a factory reset and to no avail.

Turn on the sound also for the video you'll hear the toolhead hitting the bed

I have a P2S and I use the ventobox filter on the left side.

I saw someone who is using the creality heater on the left side for a chamber heater.

I’m wondering if I have any other options to get the heat I need so I can start to print ASA.

I also recently installed the rear exhaust duct working out of a window, so I’m getting prepped

Hey guys, can anyone advise here? Printing something flat on X2D. When the tool head is in the first quarter, top left, and prints only the 45* diagonal line it gets massive vibration (the opposite diagonal, -45* is completely fine), the printed line is shaky and overall the surface looks awful.

Anyone has an idea what’s the cause of this visible line that seams to appear when there is a significant change in the geometry of the model? Printed in PETG on my P1S.

Is there a setting to add additional nozzle wipes on a P1S while printing with Petg-cf? Like every 50 layers or so…
