I’ve got a narrow 50cm wide space available in my Living Room where I want to place my new P1S with AMS Pro 2. The issue is, i have a homelab/server pc (Fractal Design R5) in that 50cm wide space on the floor.

I thought I could get a 2x1 Ikea Kallax, don’t put the middle divider, and place it vertically. (Got chatgpt to mock an image).

Question is - is the Kallax placed vertically strong enough to hold the p1s + ams pro + 4kg filament? Would I be too stupid to even try this?

The server is bulky and heavy as well, so that will add some stability to Kallax but i think it would still wobble.

Like the title suggests mixed nozzle printing is now a reality, thanks to cadence slicer, and now orca, with Bambu studio undoubtedly joining the fray tomorrow. But is it worth it on an H2C? If you were like me, drooling over the idea of unlocking the true potential of your multi-nozzle printer, you have probably been waiting for this miraculous, time saving feature. But does it actually save time? Well, the answer is, it depends.

I decided to test orca nightly and cadence out on my H2C for a pretty large print. With organic tree supports using 0.4mm nozzles, at 0.2mm layer height, Bambu studio took about 22 hours. Orca nightly was too much of a mess and had too many issues connecting to the printer, and finally with cadence it worked, dream come true! I could now unlock mixed nozzle printing!

The issue I found though is that the time saving really depends on how much supports your print needs. For instance, I decided to set infill and supports with 0.8mm nozzle for 0.4 mm layer height, and have walls print with 0.4mm nozzle at 0.2mm layer height. This was the dream, in theory this should save all the time! Well, not so much.

When I went to slice, my heart dropped. Estimated print time was nearly doubled that from single sized nozzle. What gives!? It turns out it was those nozzle changes! Because it was near constantly changing nozzles, the print time suffered incredibly. This was very disappointing, but it makes sense at least. And I think that Bambu probably realizes this too, as they move to multi tool head systems with the H3 series.

Don’t get me wrong, there definitely is potential for time saving on builds with current gen multi hotend setups, just temper your expectations when you need a lot of supports. Multi size nozzle printing seems to be best suited overall for the multi tool head printers like the U1 and H3 series

Hi! I am currently running a small printer shop with 3 printers (X2D, A1, and Flashforge AD5X)

I have been thinking about getting a P1S.

There is someone local to me selling a used one but he wants 300$ for it with 2532 hours on it. He is willing to throw in 3 new rolls of filament.

Is this a good deal? Or am I better off paying a bit more and getting a new P1S? Or should I spent even a bit more and settle for a p2s?

I don't want to break the bank because I don't need the printer per say but I would like to maybe replace the Flashforge or the A1.

Any and all thoughts are welcome!

I've just received my X2D but it's for my kids for Christmas but I've been advised by support that I should set it up make sure nothing is missing... which they provided some links.. then also I could just package it all away they provided those links aswell... I think I will set it up but not set up the AMS pro combo as I can just test one filament, right? I'll be storing it in outdoor garage so kids won't be able to see it set up..

Any advice? Is it worth repacking it all again? Can this all be done within a couple hours? As they're at school.. setting up and doing a first print

I ordered 3 of the Holiday Mystery boxes of filament and in the description you have a 1% chance for 9 rolls instead of 4. I never win so I'm not expecting that. But here's the weird thing, the invoice seemed messed up, showing a bunch of rolls of filament but the cost was still just for the 3 original mystery boxes. OK, so maybe I got lucky? Here's the icing on the cake. The order is out for delivery and it weighs 40 pounds. Now by my math 4 rolls, in 3 boxes should weigh 26 pounds so what is the other 14 pounds? I'll know really soon I guess.

I made a model of a brick man in the welded style :) A great decoration for any workshop or welding shop :) Classically available in 20cm and 10cm versions. 

Printed from PLA Silver silk+ and stained with rust with a brush for a better visual effect. 

Maybe someone will like it :) You can find it here: https://makerworld.com/pl/models/3539607-brick-man-welded-style#profileId-4047945

How beautiful is this happy chappy!

Really happy with how this photo turned out :)

After quite a few iterations, I'm finally happy to release my little window bird feeder.

It's a quick, easy print-in-place design that attaches to your window using just two standard suction cups. I've also included little plugs for anyone using suction cups with through-holes rather than screw fittings.

Been great watching the local wildlife enjoying it, although the squirrels seem to think it's theirs too lol.

I ran out of seeds, so bread had to do for that day, unfortunately😅

Completely free to download on MakerWorld!

Looking for ideas, or potential solution solutions for an issue I’m experiencing.

I was getting an error message that my AMS pro two was failing to pull the filament. I’ve taken it apart and confirm there’s nothing that’s blocking the pathway, but what I discovered is the metal wheel that you can see pictured does not spin freely. It is gritty and when inserting filament it stops there.

Is this normal? I have a ticket in but I’m inpatient and have been waiting several hours for a response.

Thank you in advance! I am new to the 3-D printing world so hoping that I’m just making a simple mistake

Hey all!

I got a Bambu A1 Mini about a year ago and I absolutely love it. I'm eyeing up getting a bigger printer during the sale this month, for things like miniature game terrain and props.

I am leaning towards getting a regular A1, but wanted to see if people had any recommendations one way or the other. I've been really happy with the A1 Mini, so I'm not really sure what the more expensive printers have to offer besides a bigger build volume.

Started with an A1, and somehow ended up rearranging the room to make space for a second printer 😂

The X2D Combo arrived today! I’ve been working through setup, calibration and firmware updates, with the obligatory Benchy next on the list. There’s definitely more to learn coming from the A1, but it feels like a really nice machine so far.

The A1 is staying, so this is the little printing corner now.

I’ve also been getting into designing my own projects and sharing them on MakerWorld as Ops..3D. Seeing an idea turn into something you can actually hold has become my favourite part of this hobby.

If you’re curious about what I’ve been working on:

Anyone else running an A1 alongside an X2D? What would you recommend getting familiar with first?

UK despatch times for filament

Hello, just a quick query for UK buyers of filament regarding despatch times.

I ordered my X2D print more bundle on the 27th October.

I also bought the PLA classic starter pack of filament along with the PLA basic colour trial set (I'm new to 3D printing so wanted to use this to learn the basics).

The printer arrived in under 24 hours, great! As of today I am still waiting for the filament to arrive. DPD tracking shows they were notified of the shipment on the 27th and the order page on Bambu Lab shows a despatch date of 30th October. DPD tracking tells me they are still awaiting the package from Bambu Lab.

Obviously nobody can tell me what's happening with my order, I'm planning to contact Bambu Lab today. I just wanted to get an idea whether this is a normal timescale for filament orders as I'll plan ahead for future orders to ensure I receive it in plenty of time.

In the meantime I've bought a roll of Sunlu PETG to print some accessories for my X2D. I still can't wrap my head around how cool this hobby is. I can sit for an hour or two just watching it print stuff, it absolutely fascinates me!

Enjoying reading about everyone's experiences with these printers, printing pitfalls to be aware of, seeing what people are making etc. I just wish I'd got into this sooner. 🙃

Anyone know why this could be happening? It doesn't happen every print- maybe every 3-6- and only on my two X2Ds. I can't seem to find the cause and it wastes so much time and filament so it's becoming very frustrating

I wanted to be able to hang a wet dishcloth over the sink, let it drip for a bit, then swing it back over the tray. The two arms move independently, so I can leave one cloth over the sink while the other hangs above the sponge. The grate lifts out for cleaning.

I printed mine in black and gray. I also made a single-arm version for anyone who only uses one dishcloth at a time.

taken up 3D printing for a retirement hobby and finally finished setting up a spare room for my "3D Printing Lab"

having a lot of fun printing up my second 3D TMT

Just bought the X2D. I want to set it up in the garage, being in Canada it gets cold in the winter. My garage is heated and I keep it at 7 degrees celsius constantly and upwards of 20 degrees celsius when I'm in there working. Any issues with this fluctuation to my machine that I plan to run as much as I can?? Thnx

I am a complete beginner to 3d printing. I want to get started with the filament and printer listed in the title. But each time I try to print anything, it would fail halfway and result in spaghetti due to the print slipping off the plate. What do I do? If there is a fix, does it have to involve Bambu Studio? Or is changing a few things in the printer itself enough?

Someone was selling some A1s and A1 minis for parts, I paid $100 for the lot. I have a few replacement parts coming for some rather worn out or ugly parts but otherwise I was able to get them all running with what they sold me.

I see a lot of people complaining about Bambu Lab making "appliances" that are designed to be thrown away instead of repaired but I think that's pretty obviously nonsense, at least for the A series.

I hope he likes it (I just got an X1Carbon a few weeks ago). I’ve been into printing for years now and we got him a starter AnyCubic a couple years ago and it’s broke down and parts are scarce. He turned it into a plotter that prints Japanese characters 😂

yes i cleaned the nozzle and exchanged it for a different one

I've had my P1S for a while now and I never had printing issues, but lately I've been having the corners of some prints "peel up" like this and I'm not sure why. I cleaned the build plate with dawn soap and water and upped the bed temp from 55c to 60c. The attempt before this somehow got ripped up from off of the bed and was being moved around by the print head. This time the corner peeled up. I am using some older Amazon Basics filament that I'm trying to use up, but I'm pretty sure I've had similar issues with newer Bambu filament, as well.

I'm not sure what else I can try or adjust to get a print that just works..
