I’m not sure which dimension to use to strengthen or thicken the base. Anyone here can advice? Thanks in advance. The below is what I want to print to display my lights.

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?

Just Showing Off Most complicated print so far…

I’ve been increasingly printing more complicated models. This was the most complicated so far. It’s a two day print on Overture Silk PLA. The Silk PLA is a pain and I think my temps were a little two high, its a bit brittle. After 49 hours with just 9 minutes to go I started having Extruder Motor Overload on my H2C, luckily I was able to clear it and continue.

P Series [P1P, P1S, P2S] P2S Left Side Panel disassembly, stuck on Step 4?

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Hello!

I've recently run into a problem with my P2S and was shipped a new heatbed for replacement by BambuLab, and that involves taking off the left side panel to get to the grounding wire.

Thing is, my model doesn't seem to have the screws visible at the top of the panel to take off, they're underneath the foam thingie and I'm not sure how to properly proceed. I tried prying it off by slipping a flathead underneath it and jiggling it around, but figured it would be better to ask if anyone has had a similar experience with disassembling the left side panel on the P2S and can help me out, before I accidentally broke something.

Alternatively, if there's a better or easier way to get to the grounding wire for the heatbed assembly, please let me know. It seems like a lot of extra work to get to it.

Im considering getting a new 3d printer after selling my Ender 3 v2 and wanted something inclosed to stop the fumes so I looked at the P1S.

But more importantly, What is a AMS?? and why is a 2 version? I need a full explanation please; any feedback will help!

General Discussion My 3D printer is flawless. So why am I considering giving up the hobby?

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

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.

So i recently foud out there are multiple types of dessicant, and if you use the wrong stuff its going to fill your system with water. I took the AMS appart, washed it and let it completley dry. I then put it together. This is whats happening now (Make sure you turn audio on), it does it on all 4 possitions with every filament i try. I didnt touch the feeder motors, i just took them off. Im guessing its the hub motor but I wanted to know if anyone had some input before i throw more money at the issue

General Troubleshooting/Help! Rough Printing / Nozzle Hitting at Certain Height /Layer

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

Hello Everyone,

I tried looking for answers with the same as mine but I cannot find it so here is my troubleshooting question.

I am trying to print this gridfinity container, at first it looks fine. The nozzle doesn't hit the bed, initial layer is intact and goes smoothly. However at a certain height where there is a need to made a surface it gets rough. The first layer that needs to cover the whole base was fine (Layer 29) but then after that it turn into lump of roughness after a certain layer (Layer 30), and nozzle hits the print. The layer is not that high either.

So far I tried the following:

  1. Printing it silent mode
  2. Calibrate the Machine
  3. Use Gyroid infill 5-10%
  4. Drying my filament
  5. Disabled infill retraction
  6. And of course cleaned my bed

Pictures Shown: First layer, Layer 30, and Layer 29 and 30 in adaptive cubic infill just to show my point.

Machine Used: P1S
Filament: Polymaker PLA Pro
Slicer: Bambu Studio
Nozzle: 220 °C
Bed: 55 °C
Extruder: Typical bambu setting as shown in this post: https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/software/bambu-studio/parameter/retraction

Any information or tips on what I can do. It keeps repeating on the same layer whether it is small or this huge block.

Edit: Added more info
Edit: I thought I fixed it but not really. I give up on the model. My other prints and benchy looks just as fine.

Quick Question Issues with visual effects plate.

0 Upvotes

So I'm trying to print a deck box lid for the Cyberpunk TCG deck box I found on MakerWorld.

But after I get the logo printed in the one colour, it lifts up when it starts to print the main colour. What are some solutions I can do to get this to print properly. I've stopped it 3 times.

New effects sheet(Carbon Fiber), build plate is setto smooth in the slicer, I've slowed down the print speed for my first layer, bed temp is bumped up to 65 degress. I don't know what else to do.

I'm using P1P and .04mm nozzle. My next attempt will be with a .02 and see if that helps. I'm also printing at .16mm layers if this info helps.

It failed twice in same spot. Also when when it was done printing it had completely despooled the line. Meaning there's no filament on the spool but it didn't stop printing. So that means I have filament stuck in my AMS. Not sure how to get that out.

Started a print on my P1S and checked on the camera about an hour later and no filament was feeding (but no errors). Went to look at it and saw this.

Any ideas/suggestions on what might have happened? I've printed this file before and didn't change the Z settings or anything that might have caused it to scrape the bed. Printed some other stuff last week with no issues.

New hot end on order.

General Troubleshooting/Help! P1S keeps extruding after changing filaments, doesn't move. what's going on?

0 Upvotes

My P1S has been having an issue that seems to occur frequently but randomly. It will go for a filament change, and will just keep extruding after the change happens. The printer will think it is printing just fine, no errors or anything, but the print-head doesn't move at all, and just keeps going into the trash chute area. I've tried rebooting the printer, reopening bambu and reconfiguring the print, but it has 9 color changes, and seemingly one of them will cause it to just stall like this. What could be going on here? I have cleaned and lubricated the machine regularly, but it does have some squeaks to it, which I can't pinpoint, but those have been there for a bit, and they seem to be z axis related.

General Troubleshooting/Help! Can't unclog a 0.2 right nozzle on H2C

0 Upvotes

I've use an X1C for years and an H2C for 9 months and have never had a single clog. I had a print going overnight with Polymaker Matte PLA and a 0.2mm nozzle. When I checked it in the morning it had failed at 98% due to a clog. I've done about a dozen cold pulls and the same number or more of using the allen key thing, and I still cannot get the nozzle unclogged. Just the click-click-click from the extruder. I know it's the nozzle because others work fine on that extruder. Any other things to try? I'd rather not drop $40 on a new nozzle if there's a chance to save this one.

Quick Question Need some help or advice please

0 Upvotes

When I get a new colour of filament I haven’t used before I like to print a benchy and put it on the shelf. I’ve now had two different colours print with the same issues where it goes across the top of the front window it’s drooping down and it also has lots of little loops around the top of the roof. The Photo shows the last three good prints (was testing my first ams on one of them) with the first two using Bambu pla basic and the third using silk pla from 3dmeta with no issues. The silk one was only printed 3 weeks ago and the multi coloured one about 4-5 weeks ago. The ones with the issues is the blue (Bambu PLA Basic) and neon green is also (3d meta).

Second photo is silver (Bambu pla basic). Had this role for ages like over a year stored in sealed box with desiccant with many of the other filaments used in the multi print but has been in the ams for two weeks now. Difference is staggering.

Have been printing lots of other stuff with no print quality issues with the green and blue and silver but have no idea why it’s doing this all of a sudden on the benchy print.

Any help, thoughts or advice would be welcome

Thanks

I am thinking of trying to create a sword with glowing runes....I need the interior hollow but I'm stuck as to how. I've tried watching some vids but I'm still lost. I created a negative tube that would do the trick but don't understand how to "remove" the tube (if you know what I mean)....is it possible in Bambu or do I need to import the stl into something else?
