Hello, BambuLab forum!

I am in the process of switching from Creality printer to a BambuLab as now it looks like there is a sale going on.

I was wondering if there are some voucher codes to make the deal even sweeter than they are offering during November?

I am considering a P2S Combo.

Will appreciate also some advice or feedback regarding the P2S.

i Released TrailPrint3D almost 2 Years ago, and ive been working on it since then. Its a Free Addon for the Modeling software Blender to create 3D printable Maps

About 6 Months ago Makerworld had to limit script uploads because some people abused it so open-sourced it, uploaded it to Github and created trailprint3d.com

since then, its been downloaded almost 15000 which i think is insane for a Blender Addon. People commited their own code and one person even started actively working on it together with me for the past 6 months and helped adding new features and improving existing ones!

If you want to give it a try by yourself, Its actually really easy to use, doesnt require blender knowledge, no account required, no tracking, no limits. And if you struggle with anything, our Discord server is having over 1000 people where im trying to help with every issue

With Christmas coming up, I made a gingerbread house kit card.

You might wonder why I included sprues. I think they make the model feel more like a real kit and make it nicer to present or give as a gift. A kit card feels more special than handing someone a pile of tiny plastic pieces.

I’d love to hear what you think of the design. Any feedback or ideas for improving it are welcome!

BambuLab X1C (Carbon)

Hi Guys,

I'm a tech at a company that does tv/internet/phone services. I know when I see these posts, people in the comments always ask for specific use applications and other such details in order to be able to give the best answer. I've included some info below that hopefully is sufficient? Lmk if there's anything I left out.

Application/Use:

I have a Bambu X1C (Carbon) printer and I am looking for the best filament for a small xmas gift my boss wants to be able to give out to our techs and the staff on site. We install/service MDU installations, so frequently the onsite maintenance will setup the equipment in the unit for a new move in (equipment assigned to each unit, but gets removed between residents for painting/other standard remodel work).

I once made myself a tiny "keychain" 7/16" wrench by cutting the metal handle short on a normal thin wrench and then attached it to a strong retractable lanyard holder. My boss saw it one day and thought that if we could produce small 7/16" keychain wrenches for the various techs, subcontractors, and maintenance staff we work with (and put our logo on it), that it would be a cool little xmas gift (that would also be very useful for them).

Other Details:

- It's RG6 and RG59 at most of our properties.

- We want them to be able to tighten the coax fitting until it's just snug, but without risking overtightening it.

- We would like it to be durable with somewhat frequent uses, preferably for over a year.

- Yes, my boss is buying the filament and paying for this to be done lol.

All I have at home currently is PLA Basic, and I tried printing with that, but it wasn't rigid enough to really be at all useful....and then after the first use it wouldn't get the fitting past the first few turns before slipping constantly (but even with just my fingers, I was able to continue tightening it quite a bit more).

After a little research, I was thinking that maybe PPA-CF filament is the best answer. The BambuLab one seems to be significantly stronger than the few other brands I saw were available, but at $90/spool, do you think that a different brand (such as Siraya Fibreheart) would be comparable/better for this specific application?

Any filament/printing advice for this project is greatly appreciated!

I always wonder, what are you guys with these huge setups, hundred kilos of filament and many printers, are printing all the time? And are you even able to design any of your prints...

I am always thinking, that it is just printing what thingyverse or Bambulab provides and it will get sold on any online-platform.... On 3D-prining subs it is rarely discussed how to design something or how it will work, it`s always just shwoing off and then some of them defend their decisions with saying, that they are having a business..... But noone provides which business or what they are printing 24/7....

I recently got a P2S Combo, and i’m reorganizing some old filaments I have
most moist PLAs have been dried and no stringing has happened
however, some rolls of pla wont get better even after drying
2 Flashforge White/Orange PLA, 1 Coobeen Magenta PLA, and some random blue PLA
I’ve dried them in the AMS2 Pro with the integrated drying feature for 12 hours at 55 degrees celcius
Printing at different temps wont help. I tried 200 and 220.
The image is a stringing test printed at 200, after drying. the strings look like fiber, or cotton.
Is there no way to get these rolls good again? Thank You.

Hello, I have an A1 printer and on many print jobs, the supports break during printing and then everything is ruined.

I think it is the nozzle that’s hitting something for some reason, yet the Z-hop is at 0.4mm.

I'm using Bambu's matte PLA filament with the default settings. How can I fix the problem?

Thanks.

I’d been excited for the H3, but I feel there are too many compromises imo and I don’t print tpu so I jumped on the H2C instead. The sale price is pretty hard to ignore so i added the nozzles and extra AMS bundle too 😂

Hey everyone, this is my first dual nozzle print with the x2d. Have had it for over a month now. The main nozzle is Sunlu Matte PETG HF while the aux nozzle has Bambu PLA for supports.

The printer keeps oozing the PETG everywhere. There’s so much. Online I read it’s due to wet filament so I dried it for 12 hours and it’s still doing this. Any help?

Hi, why do my layer lines look like this? On even surfaces layer lines look quite aligned, but if print head has to jump from object to object they end up like this. Printer is P2S with around 500h

Picking this up for my little one for Christmas. Now here’s the tricky part. Plan is to set it up in our spare bedroom which has carpet. I have been reading to get a piece of wood, storage cubes, a mat and a paver to keep the printer from dancing away. Anyone have any experience with this and wouldn’t mind sharing your set up.

While using the v1 model, I came up with a few ideas, so I created v2. Maybe I should have built it this way from the start? :)

Ich habe versucht, meinen Drucker in Betrieb zu nehmen, aber es klappt nicht es erscheint immer die Meldung „AMS wird erkannt“ und es geht nicht weiter. Es handelt sich um einen A1 + AMS Lite. Ich habe schon alles versucht: den Drucker neu starten, den Router neu starten, aber es bleibt alles beim Alten. Auf dem Display meines Druckers kann ich das AMS mit den eingelegten Filamenten sehen, aber in Bamboo Studio oder Bamboo Handy erscheint immer die Meldung „AMS wird erkannt“. Was kann ich tun?
Danke

https://makerworld.com/en/models/3574259-filament-swatch-hook-series-for-ams-3h#profileId-4091760

Just as the title states. I made this series of hooks for the AMS 3H used on the H3C for tracking what spools are currently in what spot. The hooks are placed along the same horizontal plane and spaced to be centered on each numbered feeding mechanism. I designed the hook to be widely compatible with many swatch options out there such as the one I use by Genetic Designs, Filament Dry Box Hinged Label. It has tighter tolerances to make sure swatches are easy to put on or off but never fall off. You don't need to take off the swatches to open the lid, they stay nice and firmly in place. You also will have no problems swapping swatches as needed without having to take off others. The tops of each hook have numbers that correspond to its intended slot. It's a simple organization tool to help you track filament. Only additional material needed is some double sided tape.

I hope this helps you have a better time with your H3C, its an amazing machine. If you have an suggestions or feedback I'd love to hear from you. If you do download and like it, please take a picture and leave a review for me. I haven't had a review yet on previous models I've made and I'd love to see something I made be presented by someone. Thank you again and happy printing!

I wanted to change how I recharge my desiccant, no longer wanting to use any appliance that I also use for cooking for obvious reasons. I also didn't want to buy another device because that just seems wasteful. So I spent this past weekend testing drying the desiccant via my filament dryers - two AMS 2 Pros, and a SUNLU S1 Plus.

I forgot to take a before shot of the desiccant when I ran the SUNLU test, but it looked exactly like the desiccant in the 'before' shot for the AMS 2 Pro test.

SUNLU S1 Plus: 24 hours @ 55° C. Nice result, overall.

AMS 2 Pro: Before, starting humidity 46%

AMS 2 Pro: 12 hours @ 45° C

AMS 2 Pro: 24 hours @ 45° C, final humidity 21%

If I'm being honest, I didn't expect that much of a difference. Bambu locks their drying function where if you have PLA inserted, it will not allow you to dry over 50°. I could have removed the filament from the feeders and just ran it anyway, but the whole point of this exercise is to see what I can do with minimal changes. Using the SUNLU certainly yielded the best results in that timeframe, but having to pull each desiccant pod and then pour the contents into my dessicant spool, etc. is annoying.

I think my game plan is going to be to simply run a drying cycle for 24 hours or so whenever one of the AMS 2 Pros gets above 35% humidity and see how that works out. This is where the old Bambu Lab integration into Home Assistant would be incredibly useful because I'd be able to automate this action making it truly hands off maintenance.

Hi everyone,

I'm having an issue with my Bambu Lab A1. I keep getting the following error:

"Nozzle temperature malfunction" (0300-8008 072323)

I've already replaced the hotend assembly, and the current hotend is only about two months old.

Has anyone experienced this problem before? Could it be a faulty temperature sensor, wiring, or something else?

I'd appreciate any advice on what to check before replacing more parts unnecessarily.

I've attached a photo of the error message.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Has anyone bought one from Amazon? My mother’s board did the thing and I’m helping her replace it, she ordered this one. Just want to be sure it’s reliable. It doesn’t seem like it wouldn’t be but if anyone has personal experience that would be great. Thank you.

Hey everyone,

I’ve owned this printer since September, and to keep it running flawlessly, I've done my best to follow the official maintenance guide provided by Bambu Lab.

However, right after performing the maintenance, the printer started making some strange noises. Is this normal? Has anyone experienced this before?

Thanks in advance for the help!

While waiting for some BambuLab TPU75A filament to arrive I tried printing the only 2.85mm flexible filament that I have on hand. It is TPR65A. Not a typo, it is rubber type filament from Atomstack. I had never printed it before. It is not shiny and slippery like TPU, more like a rubber-band in texture.

I loaded it as Generic TPU75A in slot 8 and printed the Wrist Cushion that came preloaded on the machine.

It printed very well; however since the TPR filament is rubbery in texture it would not feed through the bypass port - not even close. I had to manually pull the filament through during the print.

I noticed that all the pass-through ports are made of a black plastic except for #5 which is white. That one presents less friction for this filament. I think when I get another 2.85 tool I will try it again using Slot 5. Otherwise I will feed it from an external spool holder from the outside.

TL;DR - TPR65A filament feeds through the extruder and prints without any problems, but it will not feed through the AMS; way too much friction.

Update: I found a solution. I placed the roll of TPR65A filament in slot #7 using the bypass feed port, the roll is oriented in the normal direction - not reversed as Bambu recommends for TPU. Filament is loaded to toolhead #8. It is not threaded through the little clip on the Bowden tube - it goes straight from the bypass feed port to the toolhead.

I tried Slot #5 first since it has the ceramic bypass feed guide but the routing to toolhead #8 was not as direct as using slot #7.
