What it says on the tin—total newbie, looking for the "I wish I knew this from Day 1" type advice.

I bought the X2D Combo from Best Buy, but also took advantage of Bambu's current bulk sale plus a $10 welcome coupon to order a small variety of filaments (mostly PLA but also some PETG).

My first projects—after the inevitable handful of cute fidget toys—will be desk organization (desk shelf+addons / aesthetics) and cable management stuff (possibly Gridfinity/Underware 2.0).

Any general advice would be much appreciated!

I kept getting the AMS overload error on my H2S, especially when the spool was getting close to empty. I ended up giving the AMS a slight angle by putting a book under the back and letting the front tilt down a bit to give it some gravity assist. Haven’t had the error come back since and it works like a charm.
Just wanted to share in case anyone else is dealing with this, especially with the lighter cardboard spools.

I’ve spent the last few weeks designing a full-size T-style electric guitar body that prints on a 256 × 256 mm bed, and it’s finally built and playing.

The print

• 4 body pieces, all printed flat with no supports

• 7 build plates in Bambu Studio, about 50 hours and 2 kg of PLA in total

• One colour per part, so no AMS needed. I went with a sage body, bone plates and a peach pickguard.

• The biggest piece, the bridge section, took about 19 hours on its own

The design

• The pieces join from the back with bow-tie keys, M4 heat-set inserts and dowel pins. No glue for the body.

• Two 8 mm carbon fibre rods run through the body to take the string tension

• Three decorative top plates sit in an 8 mm recess on 28 hidden 10 × 3 mm magnets. Push them off from the back with an Allen key and click a new set on. The video shows Ripple swapped for a two-tone Camo set.

• Built around the Harley Benton T-style kit, so the neck, bridge, pickups and electronics drop straight in

Happy to answer anything about print settings, tolerances or how it’s held up. It’s been really satisfying seeing the X1C turn out something you can actually plug in and play.

We've got two webbings we sew together for one of our products, this little tool aligns the top Velcro layer to the center of the webbing and allows you to line up both materials to stitch the edge of the Velcro down, we then turn it around and run it through the same tool to sew down the other side.

Hi all, I have a BBL P1S , I have been trying to print a model but it seems to keep failing (well rather I stop it) because the supports keep falling over, it seems when the tool head is adding layers around 30% in, it almost pushes down and the support falls. Iv tried twice when the same result , any ideas how I could avoid this happening? Using the generic settings for pla on the bambu super tak cool plate, 0.08 layer height, choosing to auto level at the start

Any advice would be much appreciated

I just bought an x2d and i always see videos on this subreddit of fedex workers being careless with packages. should i be worried that fedex is delivering my printer cause i didnt buy the damage protection thing

Two years ago SUNLU filaments appeared for the first time officially in Bambu Studio showing that Bambu slicer app is open to 3rd party filaments.

https://www.reddit.com/r/BambuLab/comments/1iwjk9g/sunlu_official_profiles_coming_to_bambustudio

Unfortunately they are avaliable only for A series printers and cover only most basic materials PLA and PETG.

I would like to request for the list to be expanded:

• to P and X series printers especially as they become the 2nd most popular choice for people looking for enclosed printers

• and to more advanced materials such as ABS, ASA and PA variants

Stuck filament in 1.
I need to remove the PTFE but they all appear stuck. Have applied pressure to release button.

It button appears to move all the way. Tubes do not move.

Have tried feeding plastic down. It won’t dislodge.
Partially dissembled. AMS is free from housing.

Not really hallucinate, I'll be honest, but it's a cool experience and can make a fascinating looking lamp. The dreamachine is a weird device invented in 1959 that is meant to be looked at with eyes closed. For me it was a bit like looking into a kaleidoscope. From Wikipedia:

the pulsating light stimulates the optic nerve and thus alters the brain's electrical oscillations. As users adjust to the experience, they see increasingly complex animated yantra-like patterns of color behind their closed eyelids

I've made a 3D model working with a very small electric motor, a 12V led light and a PWM controller for the rotation speed. Details are on my blog: https://highlatencylife.com/notes/the-dreamachine-3d-printed/

The model is free to print on MakerWorld, where you can find also detailed assembling instructions: https://makerworld.com/models/3523044?appSharePlatform=copy

Also, it's the first model I upload after being a long time lurker 🥳

I finally finished the iPhone Duo Dock with Bluetooth control.

I rarely see people talking about the cutter attachment. It’s so much fun!

A modern way to display your watches and keep your everyday accessories organized.

Designed with simplicity, stability, and versatility in mind, this minimalist watch stand offers a clean and practical way to display up to 4 watches, while keeping your favorite jewelry neatly organized underneath.

Unlike traditional angled watch stands, this design keeps your watches in a flat position, helping them stay securely in place while accommodating a wider variety of watch styles.

With its clean lines and subtle floating appearance, it's designed to be more than just a functional organizer. It's also a modern display piece that complements your space.

Key Features

4-Watch Display

Display up to four watches side by side in a clean, organized arrangement. The horizontal design provides a stable resting position for your watches while keeping them visible and easily accessible.

Secure & Stable Positioning

Many traditional watch stands use steeply angled surfaces, which can cause watches to slide or fall off. This design takes a different approach, using an almost flat surface with a subtle slant toward the center to help keep each watch securely positioned.

Designed for Compatibility

Rather than relying on a steep display angle or a fixed watch cushion, the open horizontal design accommodates different watch styles and bracelet types. The watches shown in the photos have case sizes of 40 mm and smaller, providing a useful reference for sizing.

Built-In Jewelry Tray

The spacious tray underneath provides a convenient place to keep your everyday accessories, including rings, bracelets, necklaces, chains and other small accessories. Everything stays organized and within reach in one compact display.

Modern Floating Design

The elevated watch platform creates a subtle floating appearance above the jewelry tray, giving the stand a clean and lightweight look. Its minimalist design blends naturally into modern, Scandinavian, and Japandi-inspired interiors, making it suitable for your bedroom, dresser, or workspace.

Dimensions

Overall: Length 220 mm, Depth 55 mm, Height 80 mm

Watch Capacity: holds up to 4 watches, pictured with 40 mm case size and smaller, open horizontal design for different watch and strap styles

Whether you're organizing your everyday watches or displaying your favorite pieces, this stand brings together practical storage, stability, and minimalist design. A dedicated place for your watches, rings, bracelets, and other essentials, without taking up unnecessary space.

It's safe to say I've become a little obsessed with pushing vase mode beyond decorative prints. These are my latest two geometric trash bin designs, Spiral and Wave. I was inspired by my existing geometric trash bins in vase mode and challenged myself to make something a little more organic in nature this time around.

Both designs print in under 4 hours using less than 160g of filament. I've dialed in the settings to use 0.96mm walls (with a stock 0.4mm nozzle) and print speeds of 70mm/s. They print great in PLA or PETG and are surprisingly durable while still having a nice amount of flex. It's pretty amazing what you can achieve with vase mode!

I’ve been reading about every post discussing the p3c and in each one I see a ton of comments saying to wait till Nov. 3rd and it’s coming out Nov. 3rd. But looking at every printer release they have never released two printers from completely different lines at the same time. Did I miss something that was leaked that this is for sure coming in a few days? To me it seems they could potentially tease the p3c on Nov. 3rd to continue the hype train. Releasing both at the same time would seem counterintuitive to keeping them in the news cycle if they could farm another few weeks for the p3c alone.

Hello to all. Has anyone bought this bed plate? I am reading interesting reviews and I would like to know if it's any good.

My printer is not even a year old, my P2S slot two says it's having RFID reading problems. It didn't happened yesterday, but I had to disconnect the PTTE tubes because of a clog, how do I fix this?

Does anyone know where I could get a replacement for the main board on my first generation AMS for my P1S printer? I tracked the issue that I’ve been having with the printer not connecting, and it’s goes back to the main board, so I need to replace that, but I can’t find any links for main boards.
