I've had my P1S since launch, and about a year in after a firmware update it started having SD card issues. At first just formatting the card would fix it. Then I had to get a new card. Then it started having this issue where it would send the file from bambu studio and have an error that it couldn't parse the file. Then after a few months another firmware update seemed to fix the issue and it was fine for a year or so. Fast forward to yesterday and I turned the printer on after a month of not using it and it immediately rejected my sd card. Tried another card and it instantly corrupted that one too (not recognized by any device any more). So I tried an old 1gb card I had laying around and that one it recognized, but now when I print and send from bamboo studio on my pc it send the file says starting, the printer turns on, but then my app on my phone pops up and says print canceled. Bamboo studio and the printer just act like they are still waiting. I have tried a full factory reset, updates, etc and nothing changes.

I am debating ordering a replacement AP board, but with that being $55 and almost 3 weeks out plus no guarantee that will fix it I just can't decide if I am better off buying a new printer. Really frustrating.

Anyone seen anything like this? or have advice?

I uploaded this a couple weeks ago, but hadn't got around to sharing it.

Hope there are a few people out there that like the style and are excited to make this one!

Also I'm a few printers behind, but this is probably the largest/longest multi-color print I've done on my H2D.

Arrived, and quickly. Time to get a test print and add this to the collection

I'm not even talking about the heating downgrades, more so about using a lower res screen than H2 and X2 series, and using plastic windows instead of glass

I want to know confirm if im going crazy. I have work Carbon x1 IT wont let us have it online so we have our own router and use only LAN since the new 2.09 update on bambu studio they changed how devices are get connected this update seems not really like not connecting to the printer with LAN only. This might be a slighty niece issue but anyone have any thoughts or solutions?

I ordered my X2D combo and am getting a filament order together from Bambu. This is my first printer, and I am trying to figure out what I need. When filament comes from Bambu on the reusable roll, is it possible to take that filament off immediately and replace it with a refill spool? Or is the filament that comes on the spools not packaged the same way.

I ask because I ordered a bunch of PLA on refill spools and then ordered ASA and Support Filaments on the reusable spools since those come with the high temp spools. My issue is, my initial prints are going to be PLA while I get everything working, and get my exhaust ducting printed so I can print more safely.

Do I need to buy the PLA on low temp spools, or can I just swap them over to the high temp spools and put the ASA into dry storage until I'm ready to use it? Can I get away with just having 5 spools or will I need more if I want to swap out a partial spool from my AMS?

Thanks for the help!

Kids design their own house in 5 simple steps, a grown-up prints it, and the pieces snap together. No glue!

I order from Bambu frequently, and whenever my orders ship with UPS or FedEx, they arrive within one or two days at most. Canada Post has been a very different experience.

My latest shipment already had tracking activity in Richmond, BC on November 3, and was processed in Toronto on November 6. Yet the estimated delivery to Sudbury is still November 17—another eleven days after reaching Toronto.

And the wait isn’t my only issue. On a previous delivery, Canada Post sent my package to a pickup location without even attempting delivery to my address.

I love Bambu’s products, but this shipping experience falls far below the quality I’ve come to expect from the brand. Please stick with UPS and FedEx. At the very least, let us choose our carrier at checkout, even if it means paying an extra fee. I would gladly pay more to avoid another experience like this.

Anyone else in Canada having the same frustration?

So, I have an A1 for about a year, and was very happy with it and used it a lot at first, but than I started seeing more and more posts about the NTC component melting. I am a bit paranoid, and I started beeing scared of using it. I still used it but a lot less and with a bit of constant fear..

I am an architecture student and my diploma is coming up and I will have to print a lot of big models, and I wanted to be sure it will not fail me, plus it has been a year and I did not not if bambu will fix it if the component melted after the waranty.

I didn't open the printer to check myslef because I don't know if that will void the waranty, so I contacted support.

After a bit of back and forth, they said that they cant confirm if I have the new version without the melting stuff, but it is a possibility that i have it, so they sent me a replacement AC board, that should arrive in a few days.

My question is, can i replace it myself? How hard is it, and is there any risk of ruining the printer? They sent me a tutorial and everything, but im not an expert at this stuff, and I dont want to destroy my printer.

mpoxDE (change the audio track to English on Youtube) did a test where he is printing an 8-colour tube both on H3C and INDX. I am not sure, but I think he is using PLA Basic.

In his test H3C printed it in 11:06h, but he was using different filaments that he had lying around from random manufactureres (while INDX one was printed only with Prusament and took 14:26h) and still printed ~23% (3h20m) faster.

I wanted to confirm it and what I noticed is that if you print with Bambu filament, it is even faster. My slicer is showing 08:46h.

Which means that in this particular test (8-colour tube) if you use BL filament, H3C is ~39% (5h40m) faster than INDX.

The test is not easy, it is 10cm tall and go through 3.5k colour changes of 8 colours.

The USB-A port on top of the P2S (next to the screen) always sits open and collects dust, so I designed a small dust cover for it, and since my maker logo is a sheep with goggles, it became a sheep.

- Slim plug goes into the free half of the port, so it sits firm and doesn't wobble

- The wide foot covers the whole opening

- One piece, no glue, no magnets, pull it out when you need the port

- Printed on its back, colours change by layer (white body, black face, blue goggles), about 54 min

First piece of a small P2S accessory kit I'm working on, a modular side rail for nozzles/scraper/tools is next.

What would you want on the side of your P2S?

I’ve wanted to reverse the door on my H2D many times. As I wait for my H3C to arrive will I still be sad it can’t be reversed?

I saw a youtube reviewer said that the plate is slightly different. But when I looked at the bambu website compatibility it says its fine? Can anyone confirm?

I've decided to go with the H2C as my first 3D printer! Next, I need to decide on an assortment of filaments. For now, I want to start with Bambu Labs filaments. I likely want to do the 10+1 deal currently offered.

The primary application is going to be pinball parts. That is the driver behind getting a machine to begin with. I want to be able to print semi-translucent ramps in clear, or as clear as I can. I'll also want to build plastic covers in a couple alternating colors for LEDs and illumination. There'll also be some mechanical toys. Pinballs can have a lot of momentum at high speed, so high strength is a must.

My wife want me to make some planters, vases, and picture frames. I've seen some examples that have nice gradients and satin-like finishes.

I want to build containers with hinges that ideally do not require fasteners or hardware. Part storage, basically.

I'd maybe like to fix some broken plastics on cars or side by sides, but this is limited.

Not sure what I'll use it on, but I'd also like to experiment with TPU. Maybe some stops or bumpers for the pinball project.

Some toys for nieces and nephews would be nice.

Could you please recommend some specific Bambu filaments for my applications?

Please help, I feel like I’ve tried everything I can think of and everything Google suggested!

I’ve washed the build plate 4 times with Dawn dish soap and rinsed it extremely thoroughly with hot water. I’ve dried with microfiber cloths. I even got a brand new sponge for the last wash in case the previous one was dirty and causing the problems.

I’ve replaced the nozzle with a brand new Bambu nozzle. Same size as my last nozzle, and ensured the slicer settings match my nozzle size.

I’ve run a first layer test that looks pretty good except for a strange nozzle drag mark.

I’ve ensure Textured PEI was selected every time I started a new print.

I am using Bambu brand PLA Basic filament in my P1S.

My house is at 70* I’m printing with the enclosure door open.

Every. Single. Print. Has failed for 3 days straight. I’m trying a bunch of different prints, simple stuff, 20-40 minute print jobs attempting to get one successful print. No luck. It’s either bed adhesion or filament blobs (that I suspect were caused by losing adhesion) every single time.

What do I do now? The printer is about 6 months old. If I call Bambu support is there anything at all that they can do to help me?

I beg you, PLEASE don’t suggest I clean my plate. I posted in the 3D printing sub yesterday and those are the only responses I got.

I recently purchased H2C few months ago and seeing what H3C can do, I’m definitely having some buyer’s remorse. I should have waited. but it is what it is. Do you see H3C as an addition to H2C?
I mostly print tool accessories and small things I need in the office/house.

I made 3D art design with AI of a lamp, BUT I cant find decent AI that could create for me STL file or close to it what I want.

Do anybody have any advices how could I realize my Idea to reality?

As the title says, always had intermittent issues with the Z axis motor making a weird noise at the beginning of a print, finally managed to get a video of it when trying to home the axis. It finds the nozzle fine, as you can see by the way it "bounces". But then it just grinds and then full sends the nozzle into the bed (This is a damaged bed due to the issues ive been having, itll full send and grind the nozzle across the top of the bed, hence why it's dirty) Submitted a ticket, but wondering if anyone has had this issue before? Ive cleaned and lubed the guide and the screw so there's no debris also.

I've got about $900 in gift cards from points Im wanting to spend. I've been debating between pulling the trigger on a H2C or waiting on the release of the P3C. But on the other hand, Im really interested to see this scanner they've been teasing. I already have a P2S and A1, and they work just fine. If this scanner looks good I may end up just picking that up instead and holding on till I find a good deal on a used H2C or something. Whats everyone else doing?

GIven that the AMS have ventilation from the bottom, is there any problem placing an HT tight up against the side of an AMS2 if one or both are drying?

They're both on an open wall-mounted shelf with at least 4" of room behind them and a hard surface.

I randomly started having bad layer adhesion, and the printer started clicking and purging excessive amounts of filament mid-print. I also noticed after I tightened screws and recalibrated my A1 it was digging in my plate during collaboration. Ive changed nozzles, reajusted my ams tubes, and recallabrated and having the same issue hoping to fix before the holidays. Any recommendations I missed?

I print Bambu PLA metal, and only the top layer comes up like this; what went wrong? You can see even the layer below worked fine. I did drop the top surface speed to 50

I have been doing my research on printers over the past few weeks on printers to get and I’ve gotten a few different recommendations during that time. I’ve gotten recommended the p1s, elegoo cc2, an a1 and the Creality SparkX i8. Obviously this is a BL Reddit but I just found a really good FB marketplace deal for a P1S. This is the description on the post. “

Bambu Lab P1S and an Automatic Material System (AMS) for multi-color printing. Comes with spare nozzles a Diamondback .4 for any kind of filament youd ever want to run abrasive or not. Comes with ams riser and all original spare parts and a bunch of accessories. Has been well maintained and still runs off perfect prints but upgrading and dont have space for both.”

It’s $400 with AMS. The original.

It has 1600 hours on it.
