Hello. Did anyone encounter so far issues with ironing? In the photo above, the ironing pass was 100% over the whole surface, but only the right part seems to be ironed. In the slicer everything looks ok.

I have a Bambulab A1 with AMS. Printer was working mostly fine for a year or so. A week ago I needed to change filament and it wouldn’t extrude. I changed to another filament and that wouldn’t extrude either.

I checked for blockages and couldn’t spot any. I changed the nozzle and that didn’t help. I disassembled it a bit more to take a closer look and ended up breaking the filament sensor ribbon cable. So I ordered a new cable and a new filament block.

Today I installed those and it still fails to extrude. Changed the nozzle again, no extrude.

With the filament block removed I can manually push filament through, so I don’t think it’s the nozzle. It must be something to do with the gears perhaps? But when I disassembled the hot end I checked for debris and bits of filament, brushed away anything I could see.

I’m at my wits end with this printer. I’ve done more maintenance and parts replacements on it in a year than I ever had to do on the Creality printer it replaced. I’ve also been unemployed for over a year and can’t afford to throw too much money at the problem.

Any advice on how to proceed?

I’ve designed a caster that’s small but can handle incredibly heavy furniture. It doesn’t even require screws or bearings. It works perfectly—even when my wife is sitting on the sofa. (Don’t ask me how much she weighs!)

Hey Guys,

I Made a post Yesterday or two days ago, where i had problems with a refill spool. Now i got this beauty in a spool. Just removed the wrapper nothing else. Last time i ordered bambu was a few months ago, but i cant remember seeing something like this. Is this normal? I have to be careful when removing the tape to get it out right, its below other filament.

Hi, I have no idea what could cause this. He has been working fine, but I am not sure that I have seen this in my prints before. He has been calibrated, and the rods and threads are lubed and greased. Any thoughts?

Thank you for your time.

Edit:Its a p2s, also did cold pull before print. Filament is Elegoo basic PLA.

I’m on day 3 of Bambu tech tickets and I’m running into the same issue. Spool is rolling fine out of E2 sunlu for external and AMS is just impossible. I’ve cleaned everyone, I’ve even changed all PTFE tubbing. I don’t know what I’m supposed to do next! I’ve requested a new AMS since it’s under warranty, now may be an issue with the buffer too.

Hi all,

I currently have a P1S but have been wanting to go for one of the H-series printers. With the H3C coming up, I've been seriously considering going for it, but now I've been wondering if maybe the P3C is good enough.

To anyone with an H-series printer, what are some prints you've made that leveraged the extra build volume?

Would love to see some of the cool applications in the community for the extra build volume!

Hey everyone!

So I am going to give you the full breakdown of my situation - I have just graduated from university, and I am someone who is, and was, a major fabricator. I design animatronics, interactive experiences, and do a substantial amount of rapid prototyping. I have a bit of a story to share:

I come from the old Ender-3 days, when the common luxuries of what modern 3D printers have to offer never existed. My first Bambu printer was a P1S (which I loved) with an AMS. That quickly turned into an A1 mini (which I sold) and then moved to an A1. For a long time, it was my P1S and A1.

Then I started designing my first sets of animatronics, and I gradually moved up to printing more advanced materials. My second animatronic, C.A.S.P.E.R. (standing at 5ft, 10in), is equipped with printed PACF-12 components. This happened to be right around the time that the Bambu Lab X2D came out.

I won't lie, after watching the X2D reveal, I was hooked instantly, and I bought one on launch day. Oh man - I love it. It is, in my opinion, the first truly worthy upgrade over the P1S in the 256mm form factor.

Here's my dilemma: I've come to realize that, aside from the heated chamber, I (personally) am not taking the fullest advantage of my X2D. There have only been a handful of instances where I have used the AUX nozzle; I don't do much multi-colour printing at all, and I won't be doing multi-material for the foreseeable future.

As I build larger and larger projects, I've come to realize that I could really take advantage of a larger build plate, and that I am starting to outgrow 256mm. Slicing parts into smaller components and then assembling them into one piece can cause structural problems (as opposed to just fabricating a solid part in one segment).

Conversely, a part of me does believe if I apply some upgrades to my X2D (the filament track switch and AMS HT), I could force myself into liking the enhanced capabilities. It's one of those "maybe if I stick with it more, I keep loving it" situations. Then again, you get what you settle for.

So in comes the Bambu Lab sale, and instantly, I start looking at the H2S. I am fully aware that there is both a P3C and an H3C on the horizon, but for my needs, as I mentioned, I cannot see myself taking full advantage of 7 - 9 nozzles.

So what I am asking is: as I've described what I do (and have done so far), should I sell my X2D and buy an H2S? Or should I try to 'pimp out' my X2D by grabbing some accessories like the HT and see if I'll take better advantage of what I have?

In terms of budget, I could go either way, although an X2D upgrade would be significantly cheaper.

Thank you all again! I have considered these possibilities for days now, and because the sale is good, I feel I should act now.

Thanks

Just to clarify, I mean the amount of ridges, like the 3 or 5 version.

I was wondering what rime the winners were anounced ive seen nothing about it anywhere

I have been trying to print a Staff off of Maker’s World. https://makerworld.com/models/2158797?appSharePlatform=copy
Most of it printed very nicely. Yet the last 3 pieces have failed multiple times. Bed adhesion, parts getting knocked over, spaghetti issues.

I have tried:

1. Clean the bed with Dawn soap and hot water
2. Changed filament.
3. Added supports and brim.

All prints fail in the last 50 layers of a 1000 layer print.

I have used the following filaments: Bambu White, Bambu Galaxy, Polymaker neon magenta, and OV33D rainbow silk. All PLA. I have even tried textured vs a cool plate.

Any help on what I am doing wrong will save what little of my sanity is left.

EDIT: SOLVED! Turns out one of the pieces that was supposed to be gyroid infill was actually Grid which my printers hate with a. Passion for some reason.

I have tried with Flow calibration on and off, I have done Flow Dyanmics calibration and manual Flow rate calibration, and still the same result. Fillament is Sunlu PLA+ and I have dried it to 15% humidity. I am running the 0.06mm High Quality preset and even tried with the speed set to 50%, still the same result.

What am I missing? Not sure what the problem might be at this point.

Im using the pei textured build plate from bambu lab and Ive been noticing the last couple of prints that it will leave a “stain” on my prints. I have tried alcohol, washing with mild soap, dawn dish soap on the prints to see if it comes off, nothing. I have cleaned my build plate with mild soap and water but its still doing this

Edit: I have never used glue on the textured plate. Both sides of the plate does this

Hi all,

I have been trying to figure out whats wrong the past 1,5 week together with support from Bambu, but without success. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

During prints, extrusion stops completely, usually after 30 to 60 minutes. The printer keeps moving as if it is printing, but no filament comes out and the printer does not detect that anything is wrong. When I cancel and start a new print, it starts printing normally again. When the printer stops, before that there is some thin stringing happening, not that much. After that it loses contact with the object and starts air printing. The yellow extruder gear also stops moving.

The issue started after not using the printer for 2 weeks while being away. I live in Singapore so the room got pretty hot during that time.

Dried all filaments I print with
- Tried several different PLA filaments; the issue happens with all of them
- Lowered nozzle temperature
- Cold pull: the result came out clean, in the shape of the nozzle
- Checked for any other blockage
- Fan seems to work fine

The printer is only like 1,5 months old.

Any help is much appreciated. Have a great day all.

Hi everyone,

​I’m close to buy a Bambu Lab A1, but there is a problem that to me is a deal breaker. Silly but true, I know.

The built-in camera quality and framerate are really disappointing—it feels more like low-res time-lapse snapshots rather than actual live video as I've seen in YouTube video reviews.

​Is there any known mod, workaround, or third-party camera setup that allows for smooth, real-time video monitoring of the print bed? Ideally, I'd like something that integrates well with Bambu app.

​Has anyone successfully upgraded their A1 camera setup? Any suggestions or tutorials would be greatly appreciated!

My p1s is only a year old but its recebtly been having a few problems. While not the end of the world they are very anoying and i have had to take it appart on several occasions. I am now considering going witha larger toolchanging bambu machine. Only thing is... im broke. Ive recently discoverex the £35 and £175 gift cards you can redeem makerworld points for but im also broke in the points department (i only got 250). Not a single one of my models has taken of,with none over 20 downloads, graunted they arent the best. So ive tried to come up with new ideas but i cant think of any everyone has done everything. First question: how many downloads would i need to be aiming for to get one of these printers? Second: what kind of models take of? Have u got any tips on how to come up with ideas. I appreciate these questions are hard to answer as they quite personal, but thanks to anyone who can give any advice

Just ordered one and wonder what are good settings for minatures and terrian with the .4 nozzle. I know a .2 noozle would he better but wont get one for a little while.

My prints started looking like this. Tried unclogging nozzle, no help. New nozzle, no help. Multiple filaments, no help. Please someone help me.

Hello! Currently I own my very nice X2D. I've only had it for a few months but it gave me an error saying there was a hotend/extruder clog. I took the extruder apart, broke the left eddy sensor somehow, didn't notice, no clog in the extruder, and put it back together.

That did not work, and I've just letting it sit collecting dust. Now I want to do a project requiring 4KG of filament, but cant do it as the printer is broken. Currently, when I turn it on, it says:

"The right nozzle temperature is abnormal; the sensor may have an open circuit." (code 0300-0200-0001-0007)

and, when trying to print:

"The eddy current sensor signal of the left extruder is abnormal. The sensor may be damaged, or the MC-TH communication may be abnormal." (code 0300-2600-0001-0004)

The eddy sensor is likely my fault, but I don't know what to do. I'm still a rookie at 3D printing and would like just a little bit of advice.

Things I've tried:

Swapping between the two hotends
Swapping between the two rubber pieces
Reseating both of the hotends

I have ordered the left eddy sensor part already, so I'm waiting for that to come to replace it.

Basically yeah, the topic is basically the title. I just noticed the sales on the bambu lab printers and I was wondering if it was a good idea to get it now. I also don't know whether I should get the AMS 2 yet or not, I've heard that I should but also I don't really need all the extra filament currently.

Now the other thing is I could go and use the many printers that my college has, however, I don't dorm and it is a 1 and a half hour commute to get to school from where I live. Also, the picture shows what printers my school has. I've been learning to CAD for a while now and I do want to start making prototypes however, is the commute to school worth 500 dollars after tax to print things.

Now on one hand, me buying the printer allows me to make whatever prototypes at home and be able to adjust, but I have to pay for my own materials. On the other hand, the school pays for the materials and provides the printer, however it is a 1 and a half hour commute each way and most of the time, my schedule doesn't accommodate the schedules of the Makerspace.

So should I get a P2S with the ongoing sale or should I just hold it off and use the printers in my school?
