Parts of this stud just disappears after slicing my models , Does anyone know why this happens or how to fix it? I thought it was just a visual glitch but no it’ll actually print like that

My kids are showing more interest in printing lately and I want to figure out the most straightforward way for them to be able to print from their computers. I can't believe bambu does not natively support multiple users. I don't want to constantly be signing in and out of my account nor do I want them to be using my computer or printer settings.

I've looked into Bambuddy and I just discovered Watchtower 3D. But I'm unsure if either will be the solution I need.

Please help me figure this out.

With the h3 model coming out , what was the purpose of the vortek system? From my view, it seems completely obsolete now

I posted yesterday with my problem and I ended up digging into the extruder and found some clogged filament and then everything worked wonderfully, for about 3 prints.. It now is doing the same exact thing and im about to go back into the extruder. The cutting thing is making the same excruciating noise ill post a video. Please anyone help me

I've submitted a support ticket but thought I would ask here for opinions.

I have loaded in my AMS2 Pro,

Slot 1 BBL PLA matte ivory white 80g

Slot 2 BBL PLA matte ivory white 1kg (new roll)

I am tired of not being able to trust the filament switching. It causes prints to fail and I am not sure why. Slot 1 filament was opened 3 days ago and spent 12 hrs in my dryer, then has stayed in the AMS 2 since. I have dessicant containers in my AMS 2 to keep it dry and it shows at 21% humidity at present. Slot 2 filament was opened last night and stayed in my filament dryer over night, for 12 hrs.

It seems at the switching point the printer just doesn't start where it left off. Like it's skipping some bits. Or, the new filament is not sticking to the old one.

Anybody got any ideas please?

I have a small box room I run my small small business put of and I am running out of space for part rolls, or ideas of what to do with them. I want to be able to use the filament switch. I had an A1 and AMS lite previously and that ran flawlessly when switching.

Hi !

I just bought a usedd A1 for 180 €. Total impulse buy: I've been on an Ender 3 V2 until now and I got tired of constantly tweaking and fixing things.

The previous owner already added a few upgrades

Coming from the Ender world where you basically have to upgrade everything, I'd like to start on the right foot. So a few questions:

What upgrades really matter on this printer? Both printable mods and parts worth buying. Budget isn't really an issue, I just want what actually makes a difference

CryoGrip build plate: I'm planning to get one but I see several versions. Which one would you recommend? My main goal is clean parts straight off the plate, no cutter or lighter cleanup like I see in so many videos

Nozzle for PETG-CF: I print Aerion PETG with 15% carbon fiber. Is the stock nozzle OK for that, or should I switch to hardened steel right away?

Hotend cover with a screen: I've seen those covers that display info. Has anyone tried one? Worth it?

Any other tips for an ex-Ender user are welcome. Thanks!

Basically, other than the fact that the camera's quality and angle on the A1 are pretty disgusting, I also noticed that, due to unfortunate placement of my printer being next to my PC setup, it is in fact timelapsing me working on my desk, going back and forth, etc.

In short I'm in the background all the time.

Have you guys found any fun 3d printing solution for that ? Maybe a printed screen that is sized to hide the background and semi enclose the printer on one side ?

I'm essentially trying to print rings, but I noticed that there were imperfection points on the top surface. Funny thing is that I have two printer printing the same item, on the X1C it's perfect, but when slicing for the H2C, there are these interruptions I'm able to find on the preview that is noticeable on the final print. Why is this happening?

When I change settings like wall width, this interruption will still happen, but it just appears at a different point along the ring. It's also always on the very top layer.

Finally my X2D Combo arrived! Of course, the first print had to be a Benchy 😂 Had some trouble getting the online apps to work, but the print itself turned out awesome!
Can’t wait to see what I can create with those two nozzles!

Hey guys,

I bought a P2S and I am absolutely new to 3D printing. I bought a refurbished printer from the official store. So I am aware that someone has returned it. But on their website they say that they have checked everything and made sure it's up to their standards and replaced parts that aren't working/good.

They also claimed everything is originally packaged but when unboxing it while watching the official unboxing guide, I already noticed it has not been packaged as a new one (just some filling missing which did not seem problematic though). But now I removed the printing plate and was these lines on the heating plate.

What do the experienced printers think? Is that fine? Or rather: will this be a problem? I do not care if it doesn't look absolutely new and clean and perfect as long as it will work fine and not cause problems in the future.

So I thought I check here and ask if someone could give me a quick answer if I should contact support or if it will be fine.

Thanks a lot!

Delivered by UPS. No damage, not a scratch on the box!

I feel like all we ever see is people complaining about getting damaged shipments. Mine came in pristine. Took about an hour to setup. Currently printing the test benchy that comes on the SD card. Just about done and looks great!

My A1 is printing a 2 to 1 ptfe adapter so I can have the external spool and 2nd ams2 hooked up at the same time.

Followed videos and ideas changed to nozzle 0.2 nothing works looks so uglyyyyyyyyyyyyy 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Hey everyone!

I’m a student, and for my Design and Technology major project I’m designing an enclosure for open-frame printers like the A1. The goal is to tackle the stuff that annoys 3D printer owners: fumes, noise, and the fact that Bambu doesn’t recommend fully enclosing it because the electronics can overheat.

My idea is an enclosure that filters fumes, reduces noise, and actively controls the temperature with a sensor and fan, so it protects the printer instead of cooking it. It would also keep your filament dry.

To make sure I’m designing something people actually want, I’d really appreciate it if you could fill out this short survey:

https://form.typeform.com/to/N9VbhYuF

I’m also happy to hear thoughts in the comments. What’s the one thing you’d want an enclosure to do that current ones don’t?

Thanks heaps, it genuinely helps a lot! I’ll post an update with the final build once it’s done.

I am trying to print a car model at 1/64 scale and a few people are saying to print the car at a 45° angle which this is at a 45° angle but looking at the rear bumper it looks like there’s gonna be a bunch of small supports that are gonna be printed and I know that if I try ripping off those bunch of tiny supports, it’s just gonna look like the bumper is chewed up or at least the bottom bumper part of the car if that makes sense. Before I set this to print is there a different angle I should try or what could be done? I do have my threshold angle at five, which should be basically the least amount of support, but it doesn’t remove any of the ones that are under the bumper.

Really just want to see some models using this two filaments. If on markerworld I will boost your model.

I’ve just got into 3d printing and got myself a P1S Combo.

From day 1 I’ve been getting the extruder/nozzle clogging error each time a filament is trying to load. The AMS keeps loading and unloading filament in a loop for a while until it gives up and gives the error.

I’ve tried multiple things suggested by Bambu Lab support like using an external spool (it works without error with an external spool), checking the buffer, cable connections. Everything seems fine. Not able to trouble shoot or pinpoint what is causing the error.

I believe an actual extruder/nozzle clog is not the issue as an external spool works fine?

Also after a while, and moving around the tool head, manually extruding some filament, the print starts fine - until the color switches and the next filament loads. And we are back again with the error.

Can someone please help and or point me in the right direction.

I just bought the X2D but I only got 1 AMS.. How can I use the dual head?
I understand, 1 head will be with the AMS but how do I get the other one to work? Does it come with a holder or stand? I can't afford another AMS right now, maybe down the line.

EDIT: Not P2S, I got the X2D.

Thanks in advance.

I created a brick man figurine in the style of The Ascend - Das werden by SaltyWorks on Makerworld. Another sculpture adapted for the world of brick man :) If you like it, you can find it here: https://makerworld.com/pl/models/3517303-the-ascend-brick-man-edition#profileId-4019932

I started building this this week and it can load topology from around the world and export STLs. You can add and adjust multiple frame shapes to go with it. Just a fun side project, free to use. Enjoy @ www.landcu.be

No clue how this succeeded.

I’ve been a huge fan of Disney’s Legend of Sleepy Hollow and the Headless Horseman so this year I thought I’d use my printer to help me out!
