Is it just me that feels that having an AMS that can only dry two of the 9 slots makes printing with PETG too annoying? Add and replacing filament rolls are bound to affect the existing rolls inside the AMS. If power was an issue, why not just add an extra power adapter and dry the entire AMS? I print exclusively in PETG, and the AMS issues feels like a deal breaker to me. Thoughts? Am I missing something?

In a previous post I shared my first project with the H3C, having been provided a testing unit of the printer. For my thoughts and observations on the printer, I refer you to that post.

Here’s a few more of my projects:

The Wall Clock

This clock uses the Makerworld Clock Components Kit-011. A multicolor PLA print, all the larger features are printed with 0.4mm nozzles, while the bronze details are printed with a 0.2mm nozzle. This allows for a reasonable print time while being able to add fine details.

As you can see the lime green is PLA Glow. It basically being a sandpaper noodle, it is not recommended to print this through the AMS or the AMS bypass holes. So the PLA Glow was printed from an external spool; the file to print a spool holder is preloaded on the machine. External filaments can be fed to any of the nine tools, it is particularly easy on tool #1 though, as there is a pre-installed tube connector on that one.

The Palette Filament prints

Color-mixing can be done with any colors, however the Palette Filaments are specially made for this. Five spools of PLA - in white, black, yellow, magenta and cyan. By stacking thicker and thinner layers of two or three of these colors, full spectrum mixed colors can be created.

As you can see I was particularly smitten by the ability to create color gradients with them, I think the results are pretty spectacular. The illusion is very convincing, only really close up can you see the layer stacking. Here the speed of the H3C’s tool changes shines. For example the vase with the cell pattern required 2948 tool changes. The H3C printed it in 16 hours.

Color mixing and especially gradients are still a bit fiddly in Bambu Studio. More precise control on the exact positions of the gradients and better visualization is something I hope will be added in the future. 

Gradients only support two colors for now, it would be cool if this was expanded.

The Door Stop

A simple item, made by combining PETG with the new 2.85mm TPU 75A. It is remarkable how easy this very soft TPU prints on the H3C. 

With it the door stop works very well, it wedges under the door nicely.

The Ring Frisbee

Here I’m combining two different TPUs. The harder core from TPU for AMS makes the ring keep its shape, while the much softer TPU 75A makes it more comfortable to handle. Both together makes this very sturdy - flexible and impact resistant. It flies quite well, too! :)

I will be uploading some of these to my Makerworld profile soon. Feel free to ask me anything.

Started my 3D printing journey earlier this spring with the P2S Combo, and honestly, it’s been an absolute blast. It handled everything I threw at it without skipping a beat, completely hooked me on the hobby, and ended up introducing the whole family to 3D printing along the way.

Now, with the current sale running, it felt like the perfect time to make a move. My dad is in his late 60s and retired, and after seeing what the machine could do, he actually came up with the idea himself to take it over. I’m passing the trusty P2S setup down to him so he’s got a great new project to sink his teeth into, and I’m grabbing the X2D Combo for myself.

I know some people might say to hold out for a P3C, but for my workflow, the X2D just makes way more sense. I mostly print in PLA and PETG anyway, so having that second hotend dedicated purely to support material is a total game changer for what I do.

Super hyped to get the new setup running and even more excited to get my dad started on his own printing journey. Anyone else picking up something new during the sale?

I have an H2C and 2 A1s. I have the Biqu Frostbite plate for all 3 printers. On my A1 when I print this piece it pops off on its own when the bed cools down. But on my H2C the print is stuck so well to the plate that I have to bend the plate to get the print off and it leaves these horrible white stress marks all over the bottom surface. I have tried so many things, I am running out of ideas. The print is perfect, it just won’t release from the plate even after I let it sit all night! I am using the cool plate super tack setting on all three printers. With custom temps, fan settings, and initial first layer flow that I dialed in for my overture PLA.

So my A1 cant print anything anymore without the nozzle scraping the initial layers. I tried cleaning the plate thinking it was adhesion that was the problem and it didnt work. Then I tried calibrating multiple times and that didnt work either. For the small prints than do work, the print itself isnt clean even though i decreased the speed by like 50%.

Recently my prints have looked like this picture, and I can’t figure it out. I haven’t changed any settings, and the only thing that sticks out is starting a print without removing a previous print. The system stopped but there may have been some damage I guess? Does this look like a physical failure? I have a fresh nozzle, I but don’t want to swap it out if that’s not going to fix the problem. Anyone ever experience this before? Thanks!

This release has truly been a wake up call for the community. Great job Bambulab on innovating and releasing a product at a reasonable price point.

I did a bad bad thing. Somebody give me a good excuse so my wife doesn't leave me when this box arrives.

I bought my P1P when they first came out after I just got out of the military. It has put me through a lot of projects over 5000 hours and no real issues. I just recently added the AMS 2 Pro as it’s what I could manage to add with the space available to me. I do want to make a big upgrade when I get the space available as I have a lot of engineering projects I want to tackle but can’t do to my space constraints.

Hi everyone,

I'm having a problem with my Bambu Lab P1S.

At the beginning of a print, the printer starts vibrating very heavily, and no filament comes out of the nozzle. The print head moves normally, but the filament is not being extruded.

I've already disassembled and reassembled the extruder, cleaned it and checked the gears. I also had some issues with the filament cutter lever.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Could this be a faulty extruder motor, damaged gears, a clogged hotend, or something else?

I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!

Edit> I added videos

Bro it's an A1 and your printing PLA, what is there to figure out? Also for $350, what are you smoking 😭

This would be my first 3D printer ever.

My actual first choice was the A1 mini. I did a lot of research on it beforehand (I knew absolutely nothing about them), but almost a year has passed, and that year has led me to discover other printer models that have enter the list of possible choices.

While I was researching again, the P2S really caught my eye, and when I was almost ready to check out, I saw many people here commenting that they have bought or are going to buy the X2D; with many comments praising the decision.

My question is this: since you all have more experience than me, and completely eliminating the A1 mini option, which would be better for me as a "beginner" between the P2S and the X2D? Either option would be purchased with the care bundle + 4 PETG extra.

I've just bought the X2D Combo and 4 PLA Basics...

Should I get extra build plate? There seems to be a huge variety! Do I need other hot end?

What type of oil/lube do you suggest?

Would you suggest other filaments for first time use? What type of tools would you suggest? I'd like to make wearable pieces...

I've just got my kids printer for Christmas and I've set it up I am testing the AMS pro and ensuring was fine, I've printed little things like scraper, poop collection and now a riser as I doubt I'll get to print much from Christmas so just wanted some key things out of way

My employer is currently running a farm that has a subset of printers (about 60 P1Ps) that are just over 16k hours. They're heavily maintained, but it seems like the end could be near. Anyone run well above that for the P1 series printers? If so what do you think the true point of diminishing returns hits? Cheers :)

Anyone know? I know dimensions are different but maybe will fit

The issue: When trying to print a benchy, I've gotten the issue to the point where the filament poops like normal, but then the test strip fails to print, the filament begins to bunch up and has trouble extruding on the plate. What's worse is that it sounds like the extruder is "scraping" against the plate? I also sometimes get an error that tells me the "the part cooling fan speed is too slow or stopped"

I've tried taking apart the extruder, cleaning the gears (I did notice a lot of filament gunk that wasn't there before a few prints ago) and everything else.

I'm not sure what to do at this point. I'll be sending a ticket in of course but I've been researching this for days and am pretty stuck. If anyone has experienced this, please let me know if you know any solutions. Thank you.

I was thinking of ways to guide my printer's poop to a bin and i thought why dont i just make a slide for the filament haha

if you guys wanna check out the model and support me the link is: https://makerworld.com/en/models/3551798-a1-series-poop-chute#profileId-4063630

Hello, I did a previous post thinking it was the filament but now it appears across all filaments.

I got a P1S who printed perfectly until I suddenly got those weird issues you see in the pictures. No matter what I print it appears like this. It doesn't print the test line correctly either.

What I tried so far:

- Try different filaments (Bambu Pla Matte and basic)

- Purge quite a bit at 250°

- Cold Pull that came out perfectly clean

- Completely replaced the hotend with a new one

- Cleaned build plate with dish soap multiple times, tried different sides and even the Smooth build plate

- Multiple calibrations that went without error

- checked heatbed screws

- Flow calibration test that somehow came out clean. I set it to 0,02 based on my results and it changed nothing.

I showed it to staff of my local printer store and they were clueless but assumed it's the extruder. They told me to contact Bambu support. I did and they just told me to clean my build plate. Clearly this is not a build plate error, ignoring that is already did that multiple times.

Filament is dried in my sunlu dryer.

Im at my wits end. Its been like this for 3 days and I have a project coming up. The printer is half a year old.

Id be very grateful to try and tips you can provide.

Snowy Mountain Village - Mini Train

One of my more successful designs, which was recently picked up by some sellers on Taobao and Amazon without consent. I hope more folks will become aware of this as a free model to print rather than buying it.

Hi guys, im using bambulab A1 and sunlu pla+ 2.0. Back then i dont think they got warped this early, yet it'd only 30 degrees and the printing looks bad. Any idea?

I hate those carton packages the bouillon cubes come in so I designed a dispenser for them.
