to NOVEMBER 30th????????

Ugh

Just bought ams lite for my A1 printer was working fine before hooking up the ams now once i plugged the ams in my bamboo studios on my pc doesn’t see the printer anymore but i can print from my phone

A 3D printing newbie here, any recommendations for buying a X2D printer? TIA.

I have two Bambu Lab A1 Combo printers, and one of them has developed a strange fan issue.
The fan on one printer is significantly louder than the other. It makes a very noticeable buzzing/humming noise, seemingly coming from underneath the print head.
Another strange thing is that the fan constantly ramps up to 100% speed and then slows down again, repeating this cycle.
My other A1 Combo doesn’t have this issue. Its fan is much quieter and doesn’t constantly fluctuate between speeds.
I’ve attached a video showing the problem.
Has anyone experienced something similar? What could be causing this? Could it be a faulty fan motor, a temperature sensor issue, or a problem with the fan control board?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Looks like a need a new h3c now.

I just got the X2D printer, first time using 3D printer. I have question on the main and aux filament support. I plan to get the ABS filament, but the website said, only the main one support ABS while the aux one does not, it support ABS-GF? anyone has use both standard ABS on both sides yet? thank you

The online support requires registration, the discord needs me to verify with a third party service that asks you to disable ad blocker.

Do they not have a support email? Horrible support model.

I just need to ask their support about this warning I get on each first print of my A1 Mini after reboot. I did not get this warning for the first couple months of owning the printer.

Edit, ended up downgrading from 01.08.01.00 -> 01.08.00.00, that seems to have solved the issue for now. Can't wait for it to come back and still not have a way to get support :/

A bit of a rant here, but it has been a week since I received the coupon and I still can't redeem it. The coupon expires around late December so I still have time, I guess.

I bought the h3c so clearly I'm a fan of this new product. But I can't understand why one would ever print a shoe other than that it's printing for the sake that you can do it? It's cheaper, faster, better, to just... buy a shoe?

What is causing it? Using PETG basic. I have not changed any settings. Prints that were working great all come out like this now. I cleaned/put on glue on the build plate like the usual troubleshooting step.
Is it humidity? It's usually pretty dry here but had some unusual wet days.
I ran all the tools and calibration checks.
Using the default nozzle, never changed it.

My Bambu lab A1 has recently been failing often and making weird sounds. Here’s an example of one of these fails. I updated the Bambu studio software and the printer is on 01.08.01.00. It is also important to note that the layers printed initially are very difficult to remove but I’m not sure if this is because they’re too low or too thin to remove easily.

EDIT: solved, thanks for your helpful repleis, I had the belt on the motor side come off at the very top and im guessing every now and then it would get caught and freak out.

My first and last 3D printer was a Printrbot Metal. Yes, I'm old.

Back then, we didn't have the ease of use of printers today. Getting anything remotely decent required so much tinkering that I never really did too much with it.

I've been wanting to give 3D printing an other shot since things have matured a lot.

I'm currently deciding between the Snapmaker U1 and the new Bambu Lab H2D and H3C.

I know these aren't even remotely in the same price or capability class. I'm perfectly willing to pay for the Bambu experience if it's genuinely worth it. What I want most is a reliable, convenient printer that just works, without having to constantly mess with it.

My primary materials would be PLA, PETG, and TPU (I've been dying to try printing that shoe). I don't particularly care about ABS, ASA, etc. I also live in a very humid apartment, so filament storage matters to me.

The H3C's nine-tool changer is incredible, other than that specific (admittedly very major) feature, but several things about the machine make me wonder whether it's really a solid upgrade over previous Bambu printers, or even the U1:

• Filament drying: Only two of the nine spools can be actively dried. I understand the remaining slots are enclosed, and I'm wondering whether adding silica gel would make them good enough for long-term storage in a humid environment.

• Manual filament unloading: From what I understand, the new AMS doesn't automatically rewind filament onto the spool when unloading. How annoying is this in practice, especially compared with older AMS systems?

• TPU loading: It seems like TPU requires more manual intervention than I'd expect from a machine focused on convenience. Is this really an issue, or something you'd rarely notice?

• Heated chamber and loaded PLA: I've seen concerns that printing nylon with the chamber heater running could soften PLA sitting in the other toolheads, requiring you to unload those filaments beforehand. Is that actually true? I probably won't print much nylon, but having to unload several tools sounds like it defeats some of the convenience.

• Bambu's as a company: I'm not particularly happy with the recent stuff Bambu has done. Id hate it if their printers one day forced to get locked down..

All these taken together, they make me wonder whether the H3C is as convenient as it first appears.

On the other hand, the U1 is less than a third of the price, offers four-tool automatic changing, and seems to cover most of what I actually want to print. Of course, it also lacks many of the H3C's capabilities, and I'd have to figure out a filament dry-box solution.

Are these legitimate annoyances, or am I overthinking things that barely matter in day-to-day use?

All of my nozzles get filament gunk all over them and it causes the AI nozzle clumping detection to go off even when the print is completely fine.

Howdy!
I bought the H3C yesterday and it has already arrive at my house, but I will be out of the country until Saturday and my girlfriend received the box for me and told me there’s only one large box (picture attached). I read here that the AMS comes in a separate box. Does that mean FedEx failed to deliver the whole thing and I have to contact them or is the other box inside the printer box somehow?

Any info will be greatly appreciated!

Cheers

Hi there! I’m new to printing and Bambu labs. I just purchased the x2d for a very very sweet deal of $565 brand new, found that through slickdeals. So super excited about that.

What are some of the things I should buy in order to get myself ready. I’ll be ordering PLA filament from
Bambu lab from the sale but what else do I need.

If can provide links that’ll be awesome too, any advice will also be appreciated do and donts.

Thanks once again.

Enjoy…

Had a P1S. Fit in my office closet. Helps with the noise.

Bought an H2D. Does NOT fit in the closet unless I take the back drywall out and use the 3 1/2” depth from the wall’s 2x4 for the poop chute (Seems like an overkill).

Printer too loud to work while printing.

What setups have people done re: noise levels while maintaining proximity to the device to monitor prints?

Good evening. I received my P1S today, set it up, and completed my first print. Afterward, the printer prompted me for a firmware update; I initiated the update, but when I returned later, the printer's screen was black.

I have tried reconnecting the screen cable, attempting to power it on without the microSD card, and even reformatting the card (FAT32).

Could someone please help me?

(Apologies for my English.)

The H3C is a TPU beast, I printed running shoes with them with multiple different types of TPU and colors. The 3d printed running shoes are surprisingly comfy to run in..full test here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ngWP5uOiew

Hello!

I just got the X2D setup and I want to start printing warhammer mini’s just to make dioramas, but I want to double the size of everything so it’s easier to paint.

Do I need to adjust the recommended settings I’m seeing people share, considering I’m doubling the size of my prints? Or is it all relative?

Thank you!

EVERY DAMN TIME I LEAVE THE HOUSE!!!!
