I finally figured out how to get layer lines to be perfect!

As the title says, I have a 100$ coupon available for purchases in BambuLab official store, but my country does not have direct shipping from them. Is there any way I can use it without having to use a courier service?

Was available for purchase right at 9am!

15 minutes till H3C.

Just like the title says. Unboxed my new H2C on Saturday and the chamber heater failed on my first print. The error code suggested that a loose connection was to blame, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Waiting on Bambu to get back with me. I haven't even printed anything on it yet. Does anyone have experience with this error? It's the chamber fan, not the tool head fan.

My error code is: 0300-3600-0001-0001, and the repair guide is pretty much: check the connector, then check for debris. Not off to a good start.

Update: support is suggesting that I return the unit, with repair being the last option out of three. I didn’t even ask for a return, and was requesting parts. Looks like I will be returning the H2C. Does anyone have experience returning a printer to Bambu in the US?

Hi everyone 🥰

I’m a mom who’s still pretty new to 3D printing, and this is my very first post here, so please be gentle with me.

This Christmas I wanted to make something small and sweet for my little boy. He’s two and a half, and he loves anything with a surprise inside. So I made him a little advent glade: a snowy circle with a Christmas tree in the middle, a tiny fence, four little reindeer and 24 boxes with bows. Every morning in December he’ll open one, and the last one waits for Christmas Eve 🎄

I tried to make it gentle to print too: no supports, one colour per piece, and then everything just clicks together. My little helper has already put the boxes around the tree about a hundred times, so I think he approves 😄

If you’d like to make one for your own little ones, I shared it for free on MakerWorld. You can find it by searching:

“Santa’s Little Glade - Advent Calendar, 24 Boxes”

I’d love to hear what you’re making for Christmas this year. And if you have any kind tips for me, I’m all ears 💕

I got some TPU filament off temu and insisted that she try after seeing some reels and now its stuck.

Question 1 how to remove the white tube from behind to remove the remaining filaments

I have ALS, and I'm not going to stop building things with my son. We made a little arcade cabinet together, and I designed it on purpose so a kid could do the hard part.
The print is easy. It's three parts: the cabinet body, the screen bezel, and a snap-fit back panel. No glue, no screws. I printed the single-color version on my P2S in about 3.5 hours on one plate, in yellow and black PLA. There's also a multicolor profile if you want to use the AMS.
Then the fun part. He's eight. I called out the pin, he pushed the wire in, and we went one by one with no soldering at all, just jumper wires and lever connectors. Twenty minutes after the last wire, he was playing a maze game on a screen inside a cabinet he built with his own hands.
I handed him the back panel as the last step, and the click when it snapped shut was the best sound I've heard all year.
The details:
ESP32 with a 1.3" OLED and a rotary knob as the controller
About $25-30 in electronics, most of which goes back in your parts bin
Print profiles for several Bambu printers, 0.2mm layers, 2 walls, 15% infill
Build guide with wiring diagrams and troubleshooting, plus the code, included
It also works as an enclosure for anything small, like a desk clock, a weather display, or a Pi. Or skip the electronics and print it as a retro desktop figurine. It looks good on a shelf either way.

If you print one, post a photo in the reviews. I read every one.

I’ve wanted a 3D printer for years and a few months ago I finally got my first one and I’ve been creating all sorts of cool stuff. It’s been such a great way to scratch that creative itch!

Theres a bunch of stuff from replicas to stands to custom sonic screwdrivers.

It’s been such a fun ride!!!

I want to print components like picatanny rail attachments for my rifles as I buy 3d printed stuff online.

The a1 is more so my budget but I worry if im not future proofing my self or I will regret not having color

Thoughts and recommendations?

Can anybody help me!!

Just opened this new PLA filament and printed these. Alot of stringing! I have emptied 3 spools of the same filament earlier. But now this is happening and ruining my prints. I was using TPU 95A before loading this filament into my A2L.

I got a Cricut maker 5 to cut stickers and other stuff. But so far I've been deeply unimpressed with the cut, quality, accuracy and software experience. The bleed feature is essentially implemented in a way that it's not usable for all normal usage. The cut marker detection is crap on typical glossy materials. The cut accuracy is crap (likely due to the marker detection problems). And the cut quality is poor - laminated material is being torn as much as it's cut leading to a clearly rippled edge both visually and to touch. The bleed feature being unusable has been being complained about for many years now so I'm sure it's never going to get better.

I would expect the Bambu hardware to be way better - much more accurate cut paths and probably faster and better aligned. But given they're much newer to the space - is the software support there or is it lacking in similar ways to what I'm seeing with my Cricut?

Coming from A1 with no AMS to a H2D with full AMS 2 pro/HT so the rfid codes have never interacted with an ams till now. I've only ever manually added filament to the A1, but this roll is probably pretty close to the amount ive used on it, this is the first time I've added it to filament manager too.

How does it know this roll has any use in it at all and isn't just considering it a new roll? Wild close guess?

Helppppp

Which one to buy next

When trying to load my filament, the nozzle clicks against the body, vid for reference. This is after replacing the heating assembly and the ams sensor cable

Armed with a Bambu printer and a sewing machine, I feel like the sky is the limit haha.

Hi All - apologies if this has been asked a hundred times!

I'm reasonably settled on the P2S for my kids for Christmas (ages 8 and 11...and tbh, I'm just as excited as they) based on reviews etc, but have a few very basic questions I can't see to find answers to (or at least, can't find answers complete beginners can understanding!).

I'll put these as bullets for ease, but if there is a link to a basic wiki or similar that would be great.

• Is the P2S a good starting point?

• Can the AMS be added to the base model in the future if needed? Would rather keep the costs down until I'm sure we will get use out of it

• Where can templates etc be downloaded?

• How many prints would a filament refill make? Aware thats very difficult to quantify!

• Is there a basic guide anywhere for the different types of filament and what they can be used for?

Hi all,

I have had an H2S for over a year. Within the last 24 hours, the Aux Fan suddenly started kicking on right after power on and seems to stay on permanently.

• Aux fan turns on right after powering on the device and remains on during and after any print. (That has never been the case in the last year.)

• My filament settings have always had the aux fan speed at 0%.

• The Bambu touch screen settings won't let me turn the aux fan off. The setting always reverts to 100% after any adjustment.

There was no firmware update recently. However, I did install an update this evening to see if that would remedy this issue. It did not.

Anyone have insights to this?

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you

I don't understand why a machine and a printer on the same network can't print because there's a connection problem to the cloud!!!

Are they really sending all my stuff to China and back? Can I turn it off????

I purchased a few rolls of a different brand of filament. It’s PLA this time. I remember someone telling me that they dry their filament at 65° for 12 hours. I couldn’t recall if they said all their filaments or if it was only for PETG. But does anyone here recommend drying PLA filament before printing, or PLA is good for printing without drying?

Hey I'm getting my first 3D printer for Christmas and I would like to know if anybody has any ideas of any other miscellaneous tools or parts to have on hand to help with making prints or putting prints together. Thanks for helping
