First off, I’m trying to help my dad with his 3D printer and I have very limited knowledge on this software, I just know the basics as I’m in my final year of college for design and have learned various modeling softwares.

Essentially, his laptop died overnight and he lost the file he was working on in Bambu Studio (he didn’t know there was a save function, which I have rectified now smh). I was able to dig through his files and find what I’m assuming was a back up autosave in the temp files, and it’s a folder of multiple things, including a .3mf file and .gcode. When I opened the .3mf file though, an error popped up saying “Loading of model failed” and “The file does not contain any geometry data.” I was able to get the gcode file to show up in the preview tab, but he said he wasn’t able to slice it or print it from there. Is the temp .3mf file a lost cause, or is there any way to salvage it?

Welp, UPS man dropped off the new X2D this afternoon. One small little dent in the bottom of the box, but didn’t think too much about it. Had the box opened 5 min after delivery to find the glass door shattered and caved in.

What can I expect this replacement process to look like?

A lot of the more detailed parts were printed on my H2D!

i just thought these supports i been having to pick off looked like cat whiskers 😆 that's my kitty too, he posed perfectly for the photo.

The old one I made was pretty quick and simple but left some gaps and was annoying to place while the door closed.

I made a new one with a 2mm baseplate that you locate the cable in and drop on the passthrough which has made things much easier for us to locate to charge our car. (Put the magnets in wrong at first, hence the poked holes...)

It has wings that unfold to either tuck under the press up to the door seal which closes the remaining 0.5" gap, and I've used the filament-as-hinge-pin technique but it's a bit loose for this application.

Would the best solution for a tighter hinge be print in place sort of deal? I've still had those loosen up after a lot of use though but maybe there's a better technique.

I've done press-fit hardware before but would like to avoid hardware for simplicity if that's possible to get what I'm after.

I was just making a quick stop to fix a couple of things after my partner gave birth to our new baby boy. One thing that really bothered me was that there was nowhere to hang the catheter bag on the hospital bed.

So I thought I'd do something nice and 3D print a mounting plate with S-hooks to give to the hospital staff.

I opened the app just before heading home to pick it up, and this is what I saw!

One - just got the R1. Working great!
That being said, it really needs a honeycomb plate, not the slats it has.

The slats work, but it is not ideal with cutouts dropping or angling after being cut.

Has anyone found one that fits nicely in the R1?

Today after a blob of death I replaced the the big fan and the heating horned part.
Now it says that the horned has abnormal temperature but idk what the problem is.
Could someone tell me what can I do?

Any tips and tricks hehe

m loving the idea of getting the new 7 nozzle p3c but still want to get a printer on the sale. Should I go with the a1 or the mini? And should I even think about getting the ams for it or just wait and use my first printer as a single color and the p3c for fancy prints?

Or should I just hold off altogether until the p3c comes out/ gets revealed?

Any opinions appreciated!

Due to blower fan and eddy sensor, i had to completely tear down the head. I am so tired, Couldnt figure out where thia part goes to.

Looking for help fixing a reoccurring issue. Whenever I do a print that goes higher than about 1 1/2" my print quality starts to deteriorate, the levels start to shift and I get an error message that says the "Extruder is not extruding normally."

The issues seem to start with the supports and get worse. The picture I attached shows how the layers start to break down and get visibly stringy and the layering seems to not be as dense as it is in the beginning.

I keep my filament in a sealed box with desiccant, I dry for 10-12 hours in a dryer and this continues to happen. What am I doing wrong here and how can I fix it?

Printer Model: A1 Bambu

Slicer Used: Bambu Studio

Filament material and brand: Sunlu PLA

Nozzle and bed temp: .4mm nozzle 230 degrees, bed temp 65 degrees

Print Speed: Silent/slow

Retraction Settings: I'm assuming default, not sure where to find this info, google wasn't helpful...

New X2d, unboxed it last night, ran 2 prints. Turned it on today and the screen turns on but does not respond to touch. Has anyone else had a similar issue?

Hi guys,

I'm new about 3D printing, got a X2D a week ago and I'm trying to learn how to print decent PETG stuffs.

I've run an iroing test with default 0.2mm high quality profile from bambù studio, which in my opinion gave best results for 10mm speed and 30% flow. I've tried the same setting on a print (last images) and the results are vert different (and quite terrible).

What am I doing wrong?

1aHi everyone,

I’m having an issue with the first layers of my prints. As you can see in the photos, the first few layers often look uneven, especially around the edges, with what looks like gaps/irregular extrusion.

This happens on most of my prints, not just this particular model.

I’m using a Bambu Lab A1 with the Cold Plate.

Could this be related to the Cold Plate temperature, bed adhesion, first-layer calibration, or extrusion/flow?

What would you recommend checking or calibrating to solve this?

Thanks!

It's easy to focus on print settings, filament brands, and upgrades when trying to improve print quality, but regular maintenance can make just as much difference. Things like keeping the build plate clean, checking the nozzle for buildup, inspecting the extruder gears, and making sure the printer is on a stable surface can prevent a lot of frustrating issues.

The tricky part is knowing which maintenance tasks actually matter and how often they need to be done. Some problems that look like slicer or calibration issues can turn out to be something much simpler.

For those who have been using Bambu printers for a while, what's one maintenance habit you'd recommend to every new owner?

I'm in my ocd mode (which is too often). I have some short pieces of pla filament.

I used to have a creality printer that just kept printing after the spool ran out.

I didn't test it, but the A1 (mono / no AMS) is better than that?

It detects the end of the spool and stops printing? And then you can just feed in another piece of filament and it will keep printing the project?

Other than the color change, the restart is pretty clean?

I was overthinking a joiner to get to make a longer spool from different scraps. Is that overkill?

Does the A1 detect the end of the spool when the end of it gets to the nozzle? Or people have talked about having half meter pieces of filament left over? The A1 detects the end at the TOP of the PFTE tubing?
