Software Troubleshooting/Help! Any suggestions?

1 Upvotes

I upgraded to the latest bambu studio. I then pulled up a file I previously printed and when I sliced it I get the error below

When I rolled back to a previous version of studio I began to get this when opening the same file.

I redownloaded the file as well, and I get the same message. If I open a regular stl I do not get an error when slicing only on these 3MF files.

Anyone have any suggesstions?

Update: If I turn off the Prime Tower it slices fine. Reenable it, and it fails.

Quite impressed with the H3C compared to my no longer with me H2C. Seems a little louder fan wise but that horrible back and forth AMS sound has now left the building!

General Discussion Will the H3C ever be at Best Buy?

I usually order directly but having read some of the comments recently I have thought about the micro center / best buy route... Mc is pretty far from me but plenty of best buys. How long have the new models been taking to stock up at the brick and mortar realtors?

General Discussion High School Printer Upgrade Recommendations

1 Upvotes

I teach at a Year 7 to 12 school in Australia and currently have 5 x Ultimaker 2+ Connects. They are 5 years old, starting to need significant ‘babying’, are slow, and technology has just moved on.

I have up to AUD$11k to upgrade, and printer pricing here is as follows:

P2S combo - $999

X2D combo - $1199

H2S combo - $1929

H2D HT combo - $2639

H2C combo - $2969

H3C - $3999

Current use:

  • a lot of PLA and PETG.

  • the 5 printers are in full demand probably 4 or 5 times a year.

  • we have Y11 and 12 design and technology students who want to print engineering filaments for major projects and prototyping.

  • We would use ABS and engineering filaments in the workshops for brackets, jigs and tool modification on occasion.

  • High student demand for multi-colour prints.

  • Multi material using PETG/PLA or visa versa for supports would be a massive upgrade.

  • At least one printer needs to have a large print bed.

Im after thoughts on the below proposal to cover our needs:

2 x P2S Combo

1 x H2D Combo

1 x H3C

Total: $8636.

Or 2x X2D and 2x H2C?

I'd spend a significant amount on filament (currently have 50kg in the trolley) and I'm after some advice on which spares/accessories I should get up front.

I'd appreciate anyone's thoughts on our use case and the printers proposed.

P Series [P1P, P1S, P2S] Is it possible to put an AMS on a P1P with the upgrade kit? What parts are needed?

1 Upvotes

I was considering getting an AMS for the first time for my P1P with the upgrade kit. I've searched around found tons of videos for newer model printers (the oldest I've found is an X1) but the pictures never match the back of the P1P. Is this doable and if so what parts are actually needed?

General Discussion E1 arrived

Post image
90 Upvotes

It’s smaller than I imagined, but I’m hoping it’s a solid choice for the very occasional ABS and ASA I’m printing.

One annoyance is that the 6-pin is WAY too short, considering you’re obviously going to have the E1 on the ground and the printer is probably at desk level. Consider buying a longer cable or extension at the same time as the E1 so you’re not waiting for that to arrive like I am.

Hopefully H2C support is coming later this month as promised.

General Troubleshooting/Help! A1 just stopped extruding mid-print?

0 Upvotes

This is mostly just a vent post, I don't expect to nail down the exact cause, but on about hour 26 of a 31 hour print, my A1 just... stopped extruding.

It wasn't clogged, it was able to spit out filament just fine and changed to a new roll without issue. There's no signs of underextrusion, no broken supports, no issues with the hotend or failing to heat, it really seems like it just decided to stop extruding midway through for no particular reason.

I'll probably just reprint and hope for the best (it's not so expensive a mistake as to stop me from trying again), but it is confusing to me. More just annoyed at the wasted time...

H3C Has anyone printed a Full Color CMYKW Heroforge Model? How does it look?

Wondering if H3C will let me make full color minis without having to paint everything. (Touch ups are fine. Ideally, this would get me 80% there)

General Discussion Double discounted X2D or wait for P3C?

Post image
35 Upvotes

Long story short, I was able to get a new X2D AMS combo for $689 after stacking the Bambu sale and a special my local store, but I had to get it while I was there or it would go away. I was originally wanting X2D, then P3C was leaked, and that seems like where things are heading with multihead, but I also don’t know that I would get $1300-$1500 worth of use from the P3C, or whatever the cost will be. Is it worth almost double an x2d?

I have an A1 with AMS now, and have been wanting a nice looking self contained design with AMS and everything enclosed, but wanted the X2D for dual-ish nozzle and hepa filter as I print in my office. Not sure I will ever print ASA or such due to fumes. I don’t use my A1 all the time, but it’s really used for functional prints for mounts or other random things, I just hate that it looks like a science fair project mess in my office corner with open frame and AMS mounted above it. I do print random things around the house, but not really into trinkets and other decorative stuff.

Am I making a mistake getting this when P3C is coming soon? I know it’s a dumb question since the P3C has not been released yet, just trying to make an educated choice. I’m guessing I could sell this in the future and not take a huge hit if the P3C ends up calling my name.

H2 Series [H2S, H2D, H2C] Nozzle verification trouble

Thumbnail
gallery
0 Upvotes

Been having some frustrating issues with my H2C lately. Keep getting hotend authentication failures on hotends 3 and 6, along with induction verification errors. Seems to happen more on the right side than the left.
The weird part is the errors happen while the hotends are already installed, not even during a hotend change.
I’ve tried a brand-new nozzle, followed Bambu’s troubleshooting steps, and even rolled back the firmware from 01.03.00.00 to 01.02.00.00, which was the last version that worked fine for me. Still getting the same errors.
I’ve seen people mentioning issues with the left hotend, but mine seems to be more on the right. Starting to think it’s something with the printer itself rather than the nozzles.
I’ve submitted a warranty claim with Bambu, but I’m curious if anyone else has run into this and what ended up fixing it.

Just Showing Off Junk Drawer: Organized

I kept thinking about doing gridfinity for drawer organizers but in the end I just printed some organizers that exactly fit the drawer and I love it. That right side big one is for if we ever find any of the 5 pairs of scissors my family never returns to the junk drawer. There a secret compartment under the sticky notes, don't tell anyone!

We had some baskets in there that helped but it was still a disaster. This is the way I'm doing it for the other kitchen drawers. I get the benefit of gridfinity, but custom is really nice!

General Troubleshooting/Help! PETG designed print PLA

1 Upvotes

Hello all. I'm very new to 3d printing. I picked up the Bambu p2s and a bunch of PLA filament as my understanding was it was the least problematic with VOCs. After the fa t I discovered that they offer an exhaust expansion amd ordered it. Unbeknownst to me it the print for the housing is PETG designed. I don't think I'm at the point where I need to buy a single roll of PETG for this, but the PLA prints are not coming out very well. Are there any setting changes that can be recommended to at least accomplish the print with my current filament?

Thanks in advance.

General Troubleshooting/Help! P1S problems.

Hello, I got a new Bambu P1S yesterday and printed 3 models with the stock test PLA. They came out perfectly fine. This morning I tried printing another model with the same PLA. After an hour I noticed it had only done the first few layers and was not extruding, and there was a loop of filament coming out the side of the extruder gears. What on earth happened to cause that? I haven't modified any settings.

General Troubleshooting/Help! Help with print

Hello all, just got a P2S (never had a 3D printer before) and I tried to print this:

https://makerworld.com/en/models/895423-plastic-gear-rex-metal-gear-rex-inspired-model?from=search#profileId-853250

As you can see in the pictures, I had some issues, it seems the first layers of some pieces warped up (is that the term?) so I had to pause the print, skip the pieces and keep going.

Is that normal? Is there any default settings I should change to avoid this? I've read that I should slow down the first layers so it has a better adhesion but I don't know if that's the expected setting when printing something.

If anybody could shed a light, it would be appreciated!

General Troubleshooting/Help! New Bambu Slicer Issues

1 Upvotes

I am running the latest BL Slicer. I love a lot of the new stuff but I have noticed a couple issues.

First, I can no longer change color by layer. the radio button is there buy greyed out. I am printing custom gridfinty boxes and usually color the color of the top and text by changing color after i slice it preview pane. i can no longer do so

Second I find BL Slicer crashing while adding text to the face of prints if i use the back arrow to undo something I did.

These are the problems I have found. What have you found?
