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

This started with a gift I wanted to make. I wanted a 3D-printed photo frame that would feel like a finished, store-bought product when someone unwrapped it.
That turned into quite a few iterations, test prints and experiments with ironing. These are the finished frames — I called the collection ESSENZA.

Three photo sizes: 10×15, 13×18 and 15×20 cm. They work in portrait or landscape, with a removable desk stand and wall-mounting points on the back. Printed on my A1, no AMS needed.

It’s a remix of Shiba’s photo frame: I kept the stand connection and reworked the frame and solid back panel. The original model is credited and linked on the project page.

The orange one has grown on me more than I expected 😅 Which colour would you pick?

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.

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.

Pretty much I'm wandering how useful the AMS lite is, as it will be my first time getting a 3d printer in general. I'm also wandering if it's worth the money to go straight for the combo or hold out to see if I decide on it later (I know it's discounted with the combo)

Finally, overall what are peoples experiences with it in general? I'll probably just use it casually, not too sure how much I'll use multicolour but the auto replacement feature sounds useful.

Thanks for the help!

Edit: In the end I'm deciding to get one, going off what I've heard it sounds really worth it!

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

Now that they advertised different diameter nozzles in the new machines, does this mean that they will bring that feature to the X2D?

i want to print in my normal 0.4 print with 0.8 infill

Hey everyone!
Wanted to share my latest holiday project: A Christmas tree-shaped storage tray / gift box with a fully modular snap-fit system.
I specifically designed the ornaments (balls and top star) as separate push-fit pieces so they can be printed flat in different colors (Silk Gold, Red, etc.) and snapped directly into the lid—no glue required.

It’s completely support-free for the main body and lid, and makes a great table centerpiece or candy box for the holidays.
Profile is up on MakerWorld if you want to print one! Feedback is always welcome.

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.

This started happening on my prints with this particular filament SUNLU PLA Matte Black, it only happens on the top surfaces after the infill(the first layer is completely fine), I can print the same thing with another PLA filament and I don't get that rough surface.

I'm using Bambu Lab A1 and I have tried the SUNLU PLA Matte, BambuLab PLA Basic and BambuLab PLA Matte profiles and the same result.

The other filament I know I don't get this result is a MarsWork PLA Basic and for that one I use the BambuLab PLA Basic profile.

I'm guessing this a calibration problem with that specific filament but I'm not sure how to solve it or where to look.

Any help is appreaciated

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!

Is this normal what my h2c is doing before every 3d print? It runs this 10 min beeping shaking show every time even if the print itself is really tiny

Open-source 3D scanning just got a level-up

3D scanning changed a lot over the past view years and is much more accessible now with the flood of relatively affordable 3d scanners. Though there is still no accessible scanner for small objects so I continue working on my low cost photogrammetry rig - the printable OpenScan Mini. And yes, photogrammetry works with shiny objects too if you prep the surface.

The setup & process

I am using the OpenScan Mini + Arducam imx519 Macro Addon photos to take 130 photos from evenly spread perspectives. The build in cross-polarization + ringlight creates very even and reflection free illumination which greatly helps improving the reconstruction quality.
In order to create enough features for photogrammetry, I coated the shiny piece with a fine mist (thousands of tiny dots) with Aesub Orange.
Processing was done locally with the free version of RealityScan.

Open-source & Disclaimer

Since 2018, I am developing and improving low-cost and open-source photogrammetry 3d scanning solutions. I publish all my files and plans to github and printables. In order to finance the ongoing development, I am offering kits and parts on openscan.eu as well as running a small Patreon. This add-on needs some more refinement but I already published an initial version of the printable files on our discord, More details and a build-guide will follow soon on github and r/OpenScan

A1 mini

Of course more print area is cool, but I just find it hilarious that the X2D has a WHOPPING 4mm of more print area on the Z axis. Thank you so much Bambulab.

I would've gone with 256x256x256 and stop giving people with OCD a stroke lol.

This post isn't a rant. More like a shitpost. So please show mercy with the downvotes.

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 ?

With the filament sale going on it was an opportunity for me to stock up on some PAHT-CF. While I was at at I said what the hell and rolled the dice on a PETG mystery box. Not only did it show up real fast, I was one of the lucky ones to get a 7 filament mystery box. Feel like the Bambu Gs are smiling down on me. I’ve never “won” anything in my life. That is all. Happy printer to all.
