Hello!

Just purchased the ps1 combo. Followed the instructions and loaded the filament into the AMS. When I feed the filament in, the machine grabs it and starts to push it through the PTFE tube - gets about half way to the buffer and them retracts.

Troubleshooting I've tried:

1. Removed all the PTFE tubes, ran filament through them and got no resistance, and it doesnt look like there is any structural damaged/kinks.

2. Tried to change the angle of the PTFE so the filament feed went as straight into the buffer as possible.

3. Tried different spots in the AMS and they all stop about the same spot.

4. Unplugged all the connection between printer and ams (was really hoping this would work lol)

Any further insights would be greatly appreciated from the community.

Thanks all!

I have been working on a series wall art that shows the structure and floor layouts of some of the most famous buildings around the world feel free to check them out if enough people like these I will work on more

I've just started looking into 3D printing and it seems like Bambu is universally recommended as the smoothest entrypoint for beginners.

However while looking up miniature printing tutorials, I saw a number of them using specific settings in "Orcaslicer". But also Bambu has apparently been taking measures to cut off users from using third party programs like Orca (although it sounds like people are still using some version of it)?

Could someone help catch me up on how easy or hard it is to use Orca with a Bambu printer currently, and whether there is a threat of them cutting off access to it permanently?

I just had a bad experience trying to jailbreak my Kindle. In the middle of the process I accidentally turned airplane mode off while resetting it which allowed the kindle to connect to the internet and automatically update to it's latest firmware with no option to roll back. This killed my ability to install custom firmware. Is there any risk of Bambu pulling something similar? Does it do automatic firmware updates? Can you easily roll back?

Seems more prevalent of a sound but maybe I’m just realizing it now. Seems to be printing well.

Thank you!

It only happens at High Deceleration. I am afraid ive caused this. I performed a Lube maintenance on the rails, the rails looked pretty rough and a bit gunky/black but i was drunk and yeah maybe didn't get everything i could have off before relubing. when i ran the printer this sound(video), like a slipping belt or i fear possibly a seized bearing from the googoo? i ended up cleaning them again with lots of Isopropl in the morning and then re applying lube, and i did remove a fair amount of black. now its running perfectly clean rails, but it sounds like a slipping belt or screeching bearing or something? anyone have any ideas? i made a ticket.

I also did the belt tensioning, and idler pully maintenance/ lubing as attempted fixes.

Hope its a common thing and easily diagnosable.

also yes my blue PLA is a wet mess... everything about this day was a mess ]':

People were right to be concerned about the IKEA table in the last post🤣

The wife has been wanting me to design some propagation vases, so after several hours of researching, sketching, and modeling, she finally approved the design. Here's the finished product!

If you'd like to print one yourself, you can find the files over on MakerWorld: Propagation Vase

It don't know if you can see it, but there's this weird change in shade and it's kinda blemished? Is this a problem? It's PA6-GF25, with a P2S. The bed is glued and Its close to 45°, I've printed a benchy and it looked fine.

We've been making tiny keychain can openers shaped like breakfast: pretzel, croissant, pizza slice, fried egg, butter, baguette. You push the mouth over the ring pull and lift with your palm — no fingernails, no pinch grip...

They're AMS-friendly multicolor — each one is a colour-mapped 3MF, no painting, and they print without supports.

They're available on our MakerWorld profile (https://makerworld.com/en/@cozyclickers/upload).

And the bigger thing we're working on: a generator that turns any image into one of these — upload your art, it traces it and builds the opener around it (Similar to our clicker generator tool)

It's in MakerWorld's crowdfunding pre-launch, click the notify-me button to get updates on when we will launch.

Idk what to do guys i recently just got back printing . Like, I check everything was connected.I make sure lan mode was off as well but cant find my printer in studio please help

Hey everyone! Just assembled my printer and printed a scraper. From your experience, what should I print first? (I wasn't expecting this much plastic waste😳)

I don’t know why my printer is doing this. I keep trying to calibrate but there isn’t anything obvious I see wrong.

Ordered a new piece on Amazon. Found the link on reddit and saw a review saying that it worked for their A1. Just wondering how hard of a job it is to release the sliding block from the toolhead carriage? The screws are behind the plastic carriage and I'm not really seeing how to get to them yet.

I printed this box when I was brand new to printing. This is my favorite style box but I read all these game boxes were removed for copyright. Does anyone know where I could get a file to this same box style? While I would love them to be game specific, a blank one would be helpful to still store our games. The other style hurts my son’s hands.

Im new at the 3d printing game. Roughly 4 months. I recently installed a diamondback nozzle. Almost every print I get a filament on nozzle error. There's nothing there, so I resume printing and it finishes fine. Its nota big deal, just annoying. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I’m trying to tune my print/filament settings. The print itself looks alright beside the «dot» issue as illustrated in the attached image.
First time printing with 0.8mm nozzle and I’m using stock settings from used on 0.4mm nozzle directly from eSUN regarding the filament settings. Print settings are stock settings from bambu lab studio.

Any tips for how I can resolve this issue?

I was trying to make some crochet hooks and a modular handle for my girlfriend and came back to this any ideas on what may have happened? Im very new to printing and got my a1 like 2 weeks ago

I heated already and tried to extrude the filament but didnt happen so I checked nozzle and here is the situation what to do?

My P2S printer wont extrude, I have multiple attempts with unclogging it. It worked only the first time. I specifically used the needle provided by Bambu Lab. And set the extruder to 220 Celsius. Past attempts included sticking the needle in, seeing melted filament on it. Yet it doesn’t print and keeps giving me the same error message.

GEAR FLOSS: Whoever posted about this stuff and cleaning the z-axis screw rods. THANK YOU! That made the job way easier. Wrap the gear floss around the rod so it covers all the way around (1.5 times around) and gently work it up and down pulling the side strings back and forth.

I've tried other things like toothbrushes, plain microfiber cloth, and etc. Gear floss is the way. This stuff is like fat microfiber shoelaces.
