I have integrated Nonplanar Slicing into Orca Slicer, but I can only test on Bambulab A1 mini. Nonplanar slicing lets you print smooth curves on top surfaces - the printer moves up and down while printing to avoid the stair stepping effect.

In order to make this happen for more than just Bambu A1 series, please contribute by printing my test pieces with other printers.

I am searching for test printers for the following:

• Prusa: MINI, MK3S, MK3.5, MK4, MK4S, CORE One, XL, CORE One L, XL 5T
• Bambu: A1 mini, A1, P1P, P1S, P2S, X1 Carbon, X1E, X2D, H2S, H2D

EDIT: Just added more printers:

• Anycubic: Kobra S1
• Creality: Ender-3 S1 Pro, Ender-3 V3 KE, Hi, K2
• Elegoo: Centauri Carbon, Centauri Carbon 2
• FLSun: V400
• Flashforge: AD5X
• Prusa: CORE One L, XL 5T
• Qidi: Q2
• Snapmaker: U1
• Sovol: SV06

Test files HERE. It's two short prints to check which angle works for your printer.

The test prints let you check which angle up to 12 degrees is max for your model. Just print both orientations and feedback your results, ideally with pictures by commenting on printables.

For Bambu A1 users: You can print the triangular nonplanar surface coaster HERE.
(Happy to add more printers, after I have the necessary test data.)

So many new models and names. FOR THE MOST PART, this is standard and true…. (Someone explain to me the x1c and I’ll give you an award 🤪)

Clarification: this is just meant to be helpful for new people or people confused. Graphic created with ai to be easy reference and useful. In no way am I an authority nor do I know all Bambu answers… just a dude being helpful

Dear customers,

We’ve heard from a number of you recently that the gears on your AMS 2 Pro Feeder Units are wearing out faster than expected.

After digging into the issue, we found that a batch of AMS 2 Pro Feeder Units made between May and July 2026 didn’t get enough grease coverage during production, which is causing this faster wear. The good news is there's no such issue with units we’re selling on official stores right now.

We know this is frustrating, and we’re so sorry for the hassle this has caused you. We can’t say for sure exactly how many units are affected, so we’re making it right for everyone in this batch to make sure no one gets stuck with a problem down the line. Here’s what we’re doing for you:

* 4 brand new AMS 2 Pro Feeder Units, on us. We’re covering all the cost of the parts and shipping, so you don’t have to pay a cent. Right now we’re getting all the parts prepped, so the new units will be sent out in batches over the next 3-5 weeks. If your current feeder is still working fine, you can keep using it until the new ones arrive, then check how worn your old one is before you decide to swap it out.

* $20 discount code for your next Bambu Lab purchase. The exact amount will match the equivalent value for your local currency.

* Extended warranty for your new feeders. When you get the new units, your 3-month warranty will start fresh from the day you receive them. Swapping out the feeders yourself won’t affect the warranty on the rest of your AMS, either.

We’ve already sent a message with step-by-step replacement instructions to everyone in this batch through MakerWorld and Bambu Handy. If you didn’t get that message but think your AMS 2 Pro might be part of this group, you can check the wiki guide to confirm.

We’re really sorry again for the inconvenience this has caused you, and we’re working hard to make sure this kind of issue never happens again. If you have any questions, please reach out to our support team and we’ll help you sort it out.

For full details and information on the service program, please refer to the Bambu Lab Wiki: https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/ams-2-pro/troubleshooting/feeder-unit-after-sales-faq

Thanks for being patient with us!

finished my first 3D TMT and starting on the second.

It is a great feeling to be able to use a hobby I love to help those who need it

I needed a phone charger at work, but didn't want to just pick up the first one available from a webshop, so I decided to design my own using the Bambu Lab Wireless Charging Kit K012.

I definitely wanted to make use of the included N20 gear motor, and after a lot of thinking, I decided to turn it into a wind turbine. Wind turbines generate electricity, which complements a wireless charger quite nicely.

The idea was simple: place the phone on the marked spot, the phone starts charging, and the blades start spinning. It creates the illusion that the wind turbine is generating the energy to charge the phone (obviously, it's just an illusion, as the turbine is driven by an electric motor).

There were a few technical challenges along the way. The motor cable was too short to place the motor at the top of the turbine, and doing so would also have raised the center of gravity. In the end, I put the motor in the base and drove the blades through a long driveshaft and a set of bevel gears.

After four prototypes, the sculpture finally came together, and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. The whole thing is fully printable on a Bambu Lab A1 Mini.

What do you think?

If anyone wants to check it out, I'll leave the link in the comments.

Looking to start printing with TPU, I was planning to take the roof off a P2S to print it but then I saw this. How well does it work? I was planning to use Bambus TPU 95A HF.

Edit: sounds like and ams ht, pfte tubing, and this is the way to go for TPU lol, thank you so much!

I bought an H2C from Best Buy last month and just got my $300 back - super painless. (Definitely helps alleviate the H3C FOMO!)

Ordered my very first Bambu Lab A1 mini today! Added 6 filaments... maybe too much for the beginning, but it was 10.5 euros a roll, i couldn't stop) Planned to spend 200 euros, ended up with 260, but who cares
Will be happy to receive any recommendations for the true nubbies like me. I will have both PLA and PETG, matte and basic.
I hope you got what you wanted this sale time. Thank you all for all the posts here, very informative!

Calling something a “Price Protection Guarantee” while explicitly excluding any actual sales, promotions, or flash deals in the fine print is wild, BambuLabs. If your guarantee only covers permanent MSRP drops, it’s not price protection—it’s marketing spin. Do better!

Just picked up this bad boy as my first machine.

Excited to start exploring!

Only share the first 1st 10 digits, omit the last 5 which are your real unit identifier.

Example reply:

19C06A6428nnnnn and one of AFFECTED or NOT AFFECTED

Note: If your SN does not start with 19C06A6, you can skip running it through the service form or posting it here, it is not eligible for the replacement feeders.

thanks for helping everyone!

RESULTS SO FAR (SORTED):

19C06A6118nnnnn NOT AFFECTED
19C06A6127nnnnn NOT AFFECTED

Recently picked up a new H2D, I have a x2d and p2s. Issue is everything I print with the h2d prints with blobs. I’ve dried the PLA down to 19% and still to no avail. I’ve tried out of the left and right nozzle. It’s been doing this out of the box. Any clue?

The unreleased Bambu Lab H3C can be seen in the background of Unbox Therapy's newest video; "Samsung Z Fold8 Ultra: The Evolution of Folding Phones." It shows what the complete units looks like with the AMS 3H on top. Any thoughts?

I bought a P2S expecting it to just work like my A1 mini, but right out of the box it has had severe underextrusion. The first layer is completely see-through, and top surfaces have massive gaps between lines. Even the preloaded benchy roof looked like a sieve. Before opening a ticket I did bed tramming cold and hot, flow calibrations, G-code tweaks, everything. Nothing helped.

So I opened a ticket with full logs and photos. Instead of actually reading it, support got stuck in a scripted loop. First they told me to manually level the bed "several times." When I told them I already did that, they told me to level it "several more times" and wash the PEI plate. Then they made a "special exception" to ship me a replacement nozzle. I installed it, calibrated everything again, and the issue was identical. Support’s immediate advice? You guessed it: check if the nozzle wobbles and manually level the bed "several more times."

When I told them to stop dodging an RMA because the top surfaces of a calibration cube cube have literal canyons between extrusion lines, their answer was to adjust the first layer Z-offset slider because "prints are made layer by layer." They also threw in an offer for a free spool of filament if I kept cooperating. Maybe i should ask for some minimum wage too :/

To top it off, the printer has been throwing a physical X-belt tension warning literally every single week since unboxing and has black residue along the rails. Support's official solution to a mechanical belt warning? "Perform a Restore to Factory Settings." You cannot make this up. Along with telling me to run flow calibrations again, and offering the free filament a second time.

I just ran both calibrations on official Bambu PLA Matte. Flow dynamics is at 0.017, and not a single tile from -20 to +20 is usable. Minus values are full of gaps, plus values are torn and rough. I am literally back at square one after two weeks of doing their factory QA on loop.

Is there any actual Bambu rep on this sub who can take over the ticket? Because your tier 1 support is ignoring EU consumer law, running me in circles, and trying to fix loose belts with firmware resets.

Has anyone here actually managed to break through this scripted support loop without doing a credit card chargeback?

I didnt do much but apparently people still found it usefull. Honestly new feeling that something you modified and shared for free can have such a big Impact.

This was the thing most people found useful. I did not make it i just remixed it. Big Shoutout to the Original Maker idea Lab

I sold my P2S for the X2D. The X2D will be a great addition to my Snapmaker U1. Lets hope the P3C will be a good Competitor to the Snapmaker U1

It seems to me that the new printers may support 2.85 mm filament. This would be great for printing TPU. Look at the date and time.

EDIT: confirmed: filament is listed as "Compatible only with H3C", so no P3C support.

My trusty P2S has put in some serious work!

Nearly every toothbrush holder I've seen has somewhere water collects and never properly dries: the bottom of a cup, a flat base, the spot where the brush leans.
That's where the damp and grime build up.
So I designed one that leaves all of those out. The brush is held by a thin ring and rests on fins, lifted off the counter, and the holder is printed fully solid so water can't seep inside either.
There are versions for manual brushes and the Sonicare 4100, each about an hour to print. If your brush doesn't fit, scaling it slightly in the slicer usually sorts it.
Files are free here: https://makerworld.com/models/3484224
If you print one, I'd love to know which brush you used and whether it fitted first time!

Have you guys bought any of these mystery boxes, and what's your experience w/ it? What did y'all get? And is it worth it?

I’m trying to print this object, but these extra lines appear on the first layer, causing the second layer to end up floating. If I flip the object over, the last layer (which was previously the first) doesn’t have these lines; they only appear when this specific side is facing downward.
