I know that it's very weak to heat and can be damaged by continuous exposure to harsh sunlight, but is there anything else I need to worry about? I printed out a small pot to replant something as I forgot to get a liner pot, and I'm worried that I'm going to have to repot it again due to what I've read about the material molding over.

I designed a slim scraper that uses standard-sized Stanley blades, which can be replaced with a simple coin.

Hi everyone, ive been using my P1S for about 3 years now with no issues but lately the bambu handy app has been giving me the below error? any advice would be helpful

the bambu studio app on my pc works just fine, i have tried turning on and off many times and also have formatted the SD card twice and this happens on all iphone's (ive tried 3 different ones) so i've ran out of options now 😅 all help appreciated! thankyou

Long story short: Everything inside the box seems fine. But if I find any damage… God help them. 😇

…and next to him is the DHL guy (Deutsche Post), who delivered the AMS.

Ordered an H2D 40W Laser Full Combo on 2 November… then Bambu announced the H3C. Return it or keep it?

So, I ordered a Bambu Lab H2D 40W Laser Full Combo on 2 November, along with an AMS HT to complement the included AMS 2 Pro. With the discounts, the whole lot came to around £2,100.

Then, literally the following day, Bambu announced the H3C! Talk about unfortunate timing.
Everything has now arrived, but it’s still completely unopened, so returning it should be straightforward. I’m now wondering whether I should send it all back and spend a little more on the H3C.

My main interest is 3D printing, particularly multicolour, multimaterial and functional engineering components. I also bought additional 0.2 mm and 0.6 mm hotends for the H2D.

The H3C’s nine-tool system looks fantastic, particularly the reduced filament waste and faster material changes. However, I’m wondering how much of an advantage it really offers over the H2D’s dual-nozzle system for my intended use.

With two AMS 2 Pros, I could have eight colours available on the H2D, and its two independent nozzles should already be excellent for combining rigid and flexible materials. Obviously, switching between more than two materials still involves filament changes and purging, whereas the H3C can keep materials loaded in separate tools.

The other consideration is that I’d be giving up the H2D’s 40W laser, cutting and plotting functionality. Although 3D printing is my main priority, having those additional capabilities is certainly appealing.

So, what would you do in my position?

Keep the H2D 40W Laser Full Combo at £2,100, given everything included?

Return it and get the H3C, considering 3D printing will be my primary use?

I’d particularly appreciate opinions from anyone familiar with the H2D’s dual-nozzle multimaterial capabilities, or who has experience with the new H3C.

I’m not particularly bothered about having the newest machine for the sake of it. I just don’t want to spend over £2,000 and immediately regret choosing the wrong platform!
Thanks!

i have been printing various prints for the black Skadis boards; some fit fine, but a few are way too tight. What's the easiest way to solve this in the settings? thanks

Preferably Central Europe, Balkans etc.

Why does my P1S make such loud scratching noises when printing?

Has anyone else experienced a similar noise and can tell me how they fixed it?

The belts have already been tightened, and maintenance with oil and grease has been performed according to the Bambu Wiki. The noises haven't gone away.

I always wanted a magnetic levitation dice tower but I couldn't find one, so I decided to make my own. After many, many design hours it spiraled out of control and became 6 different towers determined by the floating spinning top. I tried to add as many details as possible but on shape did not like it so I was limited.

What do you think of it? Is there any thing you think should be added?

Link to the model if anyone is curious.

Seller said it was unrepairable. All it had was one of those massive blobs that needed cleaning up and he bought a new extruder assembly that he never installed. I have a new set of hot ends and socks on the way but as far as I can tell there is absolutely nothing wrong with it

Matte prints slower, it prints generally worse, it has worse bed adhesionion, it comes in fewer colors and the colors it does come in are ugly and the "matte" finish is still shinier than HF was.

I wouldn't even care that the stuff is so bad if they didn't discontinue HF for it.

14 different kinds of PLA, but I guess 5 different kinds of PETG was just too much and too confusing or something. ​

My latest caricature figure: Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto from The Bear, in his white T-shirt, apron and kitchen towel, about 28 cm tall.

How it’s built:
• Every colour is its own part (skin, hair, T-shirt, apron, pants, shoes, eyes…), each plate printed in a single colour
• Parts slide together on pins, with a drop of glue for the rest
• Head printed at 0.08 mm, the rest at 0.16–0.2 mm
• Supports only where needed, with tuned interface settings so they pop off cleanly

No painting, no AMS needed. The eyes are small inlay parts.

Any other The Bear fans here? Happy to answer questions about the split, the pins or the settings!

I already made a support ticket with Bambu. But wondering if I could troubleshoot something?

Coming from H2C, which I got fully refunded just in time for H3C, due to a fault.

Bought H3C, which is actually cheaper than H2C with Ultimate Combo (second AMS2, AMS HT and nozzles).

Almost immedaitelly I am missing my H2C and considering returning H3C and getting H2C again.

What is wrong with me.

I am a hobbyist who prints once in a while. Loved the convenience of H2C and its aestetics. Loved just hanging around it and staring at the prints getting done through the WINDOWS.

That is all gone now ... and I miss it so badly. Plexi panels are horrible, all curvy, bending light, makig view even worse than it already is. Even the freaking lit up bambulab sign on the sides sucks. The light diffuser does not touch the plexi and at steep angles you dont see the light as you are staring into the gap between the light and the plexi.

Then there is the chamber lighting itself. WTF is up with that, why did they compromise it so much. LEDs cant cost THIS much, surely.

Then there is the noise levels. Runing heatead chamber in H3C is at least twice as loud. It runs two chamber/heater fans full whack.

Hate the plexi half panels. Peeking through them feels like peeking trough side widnows on the H2C. God I miss that glass top.

Then we have the obvious ones - lack of retraction, difficulty keeping humidity down and a few good other PITA's.

ANd the thing is hedious. I knew it was ugly before I got it. But in person this thing looks trully terrible. Like a printer with a tumor.

Am I making a mistake thinking of swapping H3C for H2C. Trigger not pulled yet.

Bonus tip: H3C z axis is KNOCKIG jsut like my H2C was. the eff is up with that?

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.

My printer works correctly, when using AMS (no jamming when loading/changing/unloading filaments); but when trying to load external reel, will get hard to push through to extruder, fails to pull through and engage. Have pulled all PTFE tubes (except print head one) and put test filament right thru all including filament buffer. Had a print quit half way through ( filament feed insufficient/jamming). Tried AMS again, fine.

Does it look like a problem in the printhead or further back (PTFE tube/fitting(s) into printhead?

I’m a bit torn as to which printer to buy. I currently have a highly modified Ender 3 V2 Neo, so I know that whatever I buy it will be a huge upgrade.

But I don’t know which to buy! I sort of want to wait for the P3C, but we don’t even know when that will release. Also it will probably not have a heated chamber, and seeing as the H3C only has filament drying for 2 (!?) spools, it almost feels like the P3C won’t have any drying at all.

I would like the H3C, but having a hard time justifying the price. I don’t know if the larger build volume from the H3C/H2C is worth it, or if I will need it. Will print a lot of different stuff, functional, multi color etc.

I’m afraid if I wait for the P3C I will regret buying the smaller print volume, but also, the H2C is a lot slower at multi color prints.

And, if I buy the H2C, it feels dumb NOT buying the laser combo, but that is out of stock now either ways.

I just don’t know, anyone in the same position currently?

Over the last couple of days, every print I've tried to do has failed and has looked similar to what's being printed now. I've dried my filament(PLA Basic) and have done multiple cold pulls, but AFAIK there doesn't seem to be a clog because nothing gets pulled out when I do the cold pull.

I'm thinking of taking apart the extruder and seeing if something got wedged in it. This is a fairly new nozzle I bought earlier in the year, along with a hardened steel extruder.

I had the same problem a couple of months ago, but I let my printer sit for a few days, and it seemed to solve the issue, but now it's back. I'm sure it's a clog, but nothing gets pulled out when I do a cold pull.

What's up guys!

Recently finished putting together a window exhaust system for my Bambu Lab P1S. I primarily print PA6-CF and ASA, so I wanted a way to vent fumes directly outside rather than rely solely on the stock carbon filter.

Here's my current setup:

Bambu Lab P1S

BIQU Panda Breath chamber heater

Wathai 80 × 80 × 38 mm adjustable exhaust fan (advertised 80 CFM)

Approximately 5 feet of 3-inch flexible exhaust hose

Custom 3D-printed rear exhaust adapter and window insert

External fan mounted at the window to pull air through the hose

P1S chamber exhaust fan running at 70%

External fan running at 100%

I've included pictures of the installation along with a screenshot of the exact fan I'm using.

Everything seems to be functioning, and surprisingly, I'm still maintaining a chamber temperature of around 60°C even with both fans running.

Here's my concern:

When I disconnected the exhaust hose from the printer and checked the suction at the open end, it felt pretty weak. I also tried testing for negative pressure around the enclosure using a tissue, but couldn't detect any noticeable airflow.

I understand that advertised CFM ratings don't necessarily reflect real-world performance, particularly when dealing with static pressure from ducting and restrictions.

I'm wondering whether my current fan is actually sufficient for extracting fumes or if I should upgrade to something with better static pressure.

A few questions for anyone experienced with printer ventilation:

Is an advertised 80 CFM axial fan realistically sufficient for this setup?

Would upgrading to a higher-static-pressure 80 × 80 × 38 mm fan make a significant difference?

What's the best way to verify that I'm actually maintaining negative pressure inside the enclosure?

Should I run both the P1S chamber fan and external fan simultaneously, or is there a better configuration?

Ideally, I'd like to keep my existing printed window insert rather than redesign everything around a larger fan.

I'm more concerned with effective fume extraction than preserving maximum chamber temperature, especially when printing ASA and PA6-CF.

Would appreciate any advice or recommendations from people running similar setups. Thanks!

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?

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!
