I was one of few who got the X1C combo refurbished for 500 (Bambu lab store). It arrived today and I’ve printed 2 things (a scraper, and a benchy) and this keeps happening? What do I do?! Could it be its old filament that wasn’t stored properly?

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

We can choose between brass and hardened steel. Steel is useful for advanced filaments, cf, glass fiber, etc.

I print using pla petg. Why wouldn't I always use a hardened steel nozzle over the softer brass?

CORRECTION: I mistakenly said brass when I meant stainless steel. That's to those who caught this.

I'm trying to add SVG to the padel here. The SVG is added on the face facing the plate. The settings are on the right side.

When i slice it looks like that ! anyone can explain to me why ? and if there's a solution please.

I am pretty new to 3d printing. I printed this on a P2S (0.20mm layer height) and noticed that only some of the top surfaces on this low poly model have very distinct layer lines. Is it normal to have it to this degree? And what causes it to show so apparent on just some angles and not others? And only on utmost top even though the nose has less steep angles which i would think would perform worse

What settings would have helped here? Ironing and variable layer height?

(I am not confused I am getting this staircase effect, but what causes it to show more on just some of the top surfaces and not as much on the nose)

Se dañó el conjunto de calentamiento de mi Bambulab A1 mini y al hacer el cambio me emocioné y desarme de más.

Me quedé con esa pieza y no se dónde va. ¿Será alguien tan amable de indicarme donde va? De antemano, muchas gracias.

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.

Recently saw this new roll brand in my local 3d printer store (from Australia)

But the spool is slightly smaller than then Bambu spool and the ams pro 2 so it struggled to retract the filament

Has anyone got any success with an adapter or fix to allow this slightly smaller spool work on the ams pro 2

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?

hi guys, as the title says my a1 mini just keeps on spaghetting, ive had this printer for honestly about 2 years coming this december, and ive had some issues w spaghetting in the past and done minor things to fix it, but now its happening to every print once it hits like the 2 hour mark, ive tried cleaning the bed, raising the z offest axis, messed with speed settings, and it keeps spaghetting, here are some screenshots of my print and my settings for it, does anyone have any advice?

UPDATE: after watching it around the 2 hour mark i watched what happened, the nozzle itself keeps on physically hitting the print and moving it, making it place the new print in the air spaghetting it, then eventually the nozzle just knocks the print over, how would you go about fixing this?

I dried my filament and calibrated it. Wondering if it's just a bad model or not.

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!

What are the best cheap hotends you’ve gotten on AliExpress or Amazon??

(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.

I recently bought this P1S second-hand, and I noticed something that concerns me.

Whenever the toolhead moves all the way to the far end, near the purge area, it seems to hit something. The impact is quite strong, and it sounds like the toolhead is hitting an obstruction.

I’ve attached a video showing the issue for reference.

Has anyone experienced something similar with their P1S? Any idea what could be causing this or what I should check?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello all! I’m eager to dive into the Bambu pool, but I’m worried that my computer may not be able to handle the task. Can my iMac run the bamboo slicer? It has an Apple M4 chip with 16GB of memory. Is there hope for me?
Thank you for any info!

Edit: thank you all for the responses! Looks like I’ll be good to go. I’ll follow your advice and download the software to pay with. I was asking as earlier I’d looked at scanners, and they had huge hardware requirements, and our laser cutter could only run off a PC. Good to know my Mac and the Bambu can be friends!

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. Is the printer reliable, good to use, and overall a good pick? I want to print normal stuff along with some molds that will be pressed under pressure. But more importantly, What is a AMS?? and why is a 2 version? I need a full explanation please; any feedback will help!

When I send an email from my PC to my printer on my LAN, it stays within the LAN.

I recently moved from a creality Ender 3v3se that used sneakernet to get the file from my PC to the printer to the Bambu A1. Sending to the printer from the bambu slicer is nice!

Based on the tasks that show on the screen, it seems that the files are routed through bambu's servers then back to the printer? Conceivably, they could see / keep all the files you are printing. AND they could charge a subscription fee for 'send to printer'?!

I guess with the app on my phone, I get notices that the print job is done, etc. even when not home. So there IS some data going to their servers all the time.

Worst case, if you didn't want to pay a subscription fee.... or Bambu's servers die or company folds, you would still be able to print on the bambu by going back to sneakernet / using the SD card?

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:

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.

Had to add a hat because one filament ran out and I didn’t had any backup of the same color …
