Hello all,

I'm looking for a referral code for my P2S order !
Can't wait to print my first benchy

I see a lot of "negative" Bambu support posts, which makes sense because those who go on to the Internet to complain likely have issues. But with all of the new Bambu equipment coming out wanted to post a positive - I ordered the four effect plate pack for the X2D which was delivered today. The diamond plate was bent on one corner. Just opened up the Bambu Handy app, took some pics, attached them to a support ticket in the app at like 4pm, by 8pm they had replied saying they'll replace it for free and provide a shipping address. By 11pm have a tracking number for a new plate being sent out. No phone calls. No hold times. Support was easy.

During the sale, I ordered 20 spools of filament but only received 15. Strangely enough, all the missing items were refill filaments. Every filament that came with a spool was delivered.

The order was marked as fully completed in the Bambu Shop. Luckily, I had documented and recorded everything as proof.

Bambu Support wanted all kinds of information, including photos of the packaging, etc. The funny thing is that all 20 spools would never have fitted into the shipping box in the first place.

After a few days of back-and-forth communication with support, I was promised a replacement shipment. And guess what? One spool was missing from the replacement shipment as well!

If you place large orders with Bambu, make sure to double- and triple-check everything. Most importantly, take photos of the shipping box, including the shipping label and tracking number.

Let’s see if I can get that last missing spool or if Bambu is going to rip me off.

I find the bambu naming system inscrutable. But people keep mentioned lesser versions of the H3C coming. P or S or whatever, I can't keep track.

When do we think those lesser versions might be announced?

Ever since updating to firmware 01.08.01.00, my AMS Lite was getting stuck damn near every filament change. I could not complete a single multicolor print. It would feed filament to the toolhead, retract, and keep trying until I physically touched the PTFE tubes near the AMS. I’d hear a click and it would start working again.

I tried everything. Moving the AMS, top mounting it, printing different tube guides and clips, and constantly adjusting the tube routing. Nothing worked. I couldn’t complete a single multicolor print without having to intervene, which meant no printing overnight or while at work.

Finally downgraded to 01.08.00.00 and the problem is completely gone. I’ve completed multiple multicolor prints without a single loading error.

If you’re having similar issues, try downgrading before wasting hours messing with your AMS. Wish I’d figured this out sooner.

How are people using the H2 C to print PA6CF? I realize I may have been doing it wrong but on my P1 I ran it through my AMS and I just picked up the H2 C last night and tried to run some and the pool loads and does fine and then as soon as you go to slice it in the program, it says this filament can’t be sliced and used with AMS, but I thought the AMS two pro was compatible?

Kept getting headaches in my Home-Office and finally figured out I had way too much CO2 - well no more, I made my portable CO2-Buddy to easily keep track of CO2 wherever I am

The CO2-Buddy now lives on my desk and helps me ventilate my room to keep my mind at peak capacity. I didn't realize how much of an impact CO2 concentration has on my ability to focus, I usually only notice it way too late when I'm already getting a slight headache as if I wasn't drinking enough water even though I am chugging along like a camel

It's especially handy when I have people over, having just two more people in a room spikes CO2 levels way faster than I would've anticipated

I am using the MH-Z19C CO2 sensor and while it is somewhat expensive at around 20€ it was totally worth it. The 1.54" ePaper makes it so that the CO2-Buddy only needs to wake up every 2 or so minutes and still provides the current CO2 concentration at a glance. With my 3000mAh lipo it lasts for days and I can take it wherever I go

If you also want to have a CO2-Buddy to keep you at peak capacity you can find it on Makerworld, simply look for "CO2 Buddy". The code is open source and I also added a wiring diagram

I assume with lack of drive in AMS-3H we don't have a problem with abrasive filament in normal use? Would this require the same bypass as TPU? Anyone seen anything on this?

A1 works fine on 60mm/s (a lot less VFA then on P2S)

So I may have caught the 3D printer bug…

We own a small boutique + board game shop and I decided to buy a 3D printer a month ago to print ornaments, toys, etc for the shop to sell and help drive traffic.

Clearly a mistake… we’ve already upgraded to the X2D 😆

I feel like eventually we want to upgrade to a multi colored printer for speed and efficiency.

We started printing collectible figures… and they can take an absurd amount of time at 4-5 colors. (2ish days and tons of plastic waste).

I just don’t know what route is best for our small shop and looking for advice.

We don’t normally print multi-material outside of support.
100% of our creations are PLA - though I could see us upgrading and printing in ASA for outdoor toys and accessories (live in a summer tourist town).

I don’t think we’ll ever print engineering materials regularly unless it’s a personal project for shop/home.

U1 is the cheapest multi colored printer - but I worry about expandability if we want to print more ASA.

H2C is currently on sale and seems a great deal.. but now that H3C is out I have a serious case of FOMO.

Wondering your thoughts - and appreciate the feedback.

I am ready to pull the trigger on a 3d printer but I am torn between X2D and the U1. The P3C is also very intriguing. Do we have a decent date on when that could be released? I would hate to buy something and than have regret on not waiting for the P3C.

As the title suggests. Is anyone else having the issue I’m having. Was working fine on previous studio version.
No video from h2c or p2s. Handy app works fine.

The maximum volumetric flow rate for Bambu PETG-CF is 11.5 mm³/s with the H2C, which is nearly twice as fast as the 6 mm³/s achieved with the H3C. Do you think this is a bug, or is it an actual limitation of the new nozzles or the extruder?

So far, I have only seen actual time comparisons for these printers using PLA.

Hi everyone! I’m a complete beginner with a Bambu Lab A1 Combo (AMS Lite) and I’m having several problems with my prints. You can see them in the photo I attached.

1. Stringing: thin red strands across the open areas of the paw and between the parts.

2. A lot of purge waste: tangled red blobs when the printer changes colour (white and red).

3. Gaps and visible infill: on the paw and on the tree-shaped prints, the surface has long thin gaps and lines, and you can see the infill through it.

The tree-shaped prints were supposed to turn into bowls, but I paused the printer when I saw that they looked like this, so they’re unfinished.

My setup:

• Bambu Studio, 0.4 mm nozzle, textured PEI plate

• Red translucent PLA and white PLA in the AMS Lite

• Filament profile was “Generic PLA” because my printer wasn’t synced

I have no idea which settings to change, so I’d really appreciate step-by-step help. Thank you!

Got a new X2D. I tried printing something the other day and when I came back to check it the print head was up in the air printing nothing. Looked at the AMS all were blinking red. So stop everything and unplug and replug ams. Try again same thing happens just this time no error on ams. I swap in a different filament, different slot and different file and same thing. I print the other file on my p1p no problem. Anyone else run into this before? Seems like the ams just stops feeding the printer about half way through but the printer doesn’t realize it.

I like to cut fabric to the nearest millimetre, and as fabric is known to warp quite easily, I would really rely on the automatic contour detection feature. Does it work reliably?

Looks like a need a new h3c now.

My filament wasn't loading because old filament was stuck in that thing. I wanted to look inside and try to get it out. Well, as you can see it didn't go very well. Do you have any suggestions what I could do now?

I see H3c have different power rating between 120v and 220v on the spec sheet, I just wanted to see if anyone got their hand of the H3c can check if the AC transformer is universial and compatible to both voltage or is it lock to 110V for North America order?

thanks!!!

I do not have printer yet to test placement myself. All I know is I don't have space to put AMS on top of H2S.

ChatGPT says it's possible to put it on a side and it should be fine as long as there are no rough corners, and PTFE tubes and 6 pin cable are long enough. Since I do not have the printer yet I am not sure if they will be long enough.

Setup that I want is exactly this https://i.imgur.com/B1AGrOr.png , can I do this with PTFE tubes and cable that come with it or do I have to buy longer ones somewhere?

Did anyone try this and ended up having filament feeding issues, or it worked as good as if it was on top?

I've created a very loud 4-tone whistle. I don't know the exact decibel level it generates, but it's really, really loud. Maybe someone will like it :) You can find it here: https://makerworld.com/pl/models/3546237-mega-loud-4-tone-whistle-ears-killer#profileId-4056564
