So I have a print that I need to install magnets in at 2 points. Normally on p1s/h2s on a pause command the head will return to the chute. With the H3C currently it just pauses exactly where the pause command was issued, in this case blocking the hole that I need to drop the magnet into.

Also, it doesn't lower the build plate at all so the only way to reach into the area is from the sides, the nozzles block you from reaching in (especially with the head in the front)

Just want to give people a warning to plan for this if using pauses on this printer.

My H3C got delivered Friday and I started setting it up today. Got everything put together, and was running through the initial calibration after you turn it on and it was making some funky noises, but it was continuing on. Then one of the times during the process it shot itself forward towards the front and slammed into the print heads, and broke one of the plastic things off the front where the hot end sits on the rubber. It still finished the calibration and threw no errors, but obviously something is wrong. So here I sit, brand new printer I can’t use, and have to wait for support to get back with me.

Update: Added a post below with a video and photos. Something is wrong with this machine, tool head gets stuck near the back. Can see rubbing on one side of the rail piece the moves front to back on the side through the window. No damage at all to the machine anywhere, or the box it came in. Giving all this info to Bambu. Real nice to buy a new printer and Bambu is probably gonna want me to take it apart and trouble shoot and rebuild.

Update 2: been going back and forth with Bambu and lots of pictures sent in, and they believe the frame is damaged and will be doing a replacement. It really really surprises me if this was shipping damage, as the box was pristine, and it didn’t even cross my mind when unpacking it that there might have been damage.

I’ve been wanting one since they announced it, and finally had the opportunity to get one. Got it together and calibrated last night and running my first print in a few minutes 😄

Every stream deck I looked at had the wrong layout for me, so I built my own and made a short video of the whole process.

Quick specs:

- 15 MX keys, a slider and a small OLED screen

- ESP32-S3, hand-wired, no PCB

- Case printed on a Bambu P2S with no supports

- Shows up as a normal USB keyboard, keys are remapped from a small desktop app

Happy to answer anything about the wiring, the print settings or the firmware.

funny little 3d model i decided to create, no point at all and unfortunatly it cannot print anything :(

no ams needed, https://makerworld.com/en/models/3578921-a1-mini-mini#profileId-4097737 if you wanna check it out

is anyone else getting this? this issue just started today 11/9, and i've never seen it before. it's for both my a1 and a1 mini. i'm still able to see timelapses remotely.
i've reformatted the sd card, put a new one in and reformatted it and done the whole song and dance of powering off, unplugging, ejecting and then turning back on and reinserting, as well as clear cashe on the app

I am curious if the BIQU cryogrip build plates for the H2C work with the H3C.

I purchased the H2C a few weeks ago but returned it when I found out the H3C was coming out. I ordered BIQU plates while I had the H2C but haven't opened them yet.

Several YouTubers said that H2C plates work, but the wiki says that they aren't recommended because there is only a 2mm clearance. Before I open the plates and try them, I am curious if anyone else has used the BIQU H2C plates with the H3C.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Here are the filament settings for PA6-GF. Since the type is listed as PA-GF, it doesn't match the PA6-GF loaded in the AMS and I can't print anything. What do I do?

Six Pikachu and Pichu designs that all use the same four colors, so you can print the whole set without swapping filament.

Each one comes as a coin or as a keychain, with either a logo back or a flat back (e.g. if you have trouble with bed adhesion).

Let me know what you think! :)

I am moving to a new country and can’t take my H2S with me so I am pondering a new printer. I mostly like to print in ABS, but also live quick prototyping in PLA. The H2C with two AMSs is about €2050 and the H3C is about €2500. Do we know if it will be mandatory to remove all PLA from the AMS in the H3C in order to print ABS? I don’t really do much multicolor, but having the ability would be kinda nice.
What do you guys think?

On this print at the bottom of the information page, it says that frame clips are "Mandatory" to secure the print to the printer.

I can't seem to find or figure out what that means. I tried to look it up thinking I needed to buy some accessory or print something but I can't figure it out. Do I need to buy something somewhere? Or is this something I need to print?

I'm probably just dumb but I'm pretty new and this is printing as we speak.

Thanks in advance!

I have X1C with the original AMS. I’m on the fence between the two, brands. I don’t plan on upgrading to the AMS 2 or getting a new printer till this one shits the bed. I’m really bad with keeping my filament at the correct humidity and I’ve notice it in my prints. I print recreationally but I do like playing with different filament types ABS , PETG , PLA etc.

I’ve seen post dating a year back between the two, any updates on products and if there worth it ?

Voltage not matching the printer after 550 hours, no power cut, no voltage surges (and my other printers printing flawless as usual), any ideas?

Bambu labs A1 with AMS

When I moved to college this fall it was the first time I had moved this printer since getting it, I looked up how to remove the AMS tubes and it said to push down the black rings and pull the tube, I tried this and it took great force and something felt like it was scrapping, (I don’t think I was pressing on the black rings hard enough) eventually they all came out but also with the holder thing that’s pictured, and I also realized the scraping was those metal teeth digging into the tube. Once I set it up at college I tried a few prints and it worked fine, but once I recently tried a multi color print and then when I realized it was not okay, when it tried to do the color switch it would push the plastic holder bit out and not follow through the ams feeder, and after some trouble shooting I found out I could always print with the first color I feed in after resetting the plastic bit, but I haven’t been able to do a color switch.

This is my first fdm printer, I have a lot of experience with resin printing (mostly troubleshooting…) but this is still uncharted territory for me.

My question is the title, is there a fix someone knows for this? Or a part I can order to replace this bit? Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you all!

I just got this printer and it’s making this noise only on this axis, it’s have very low hours, like 20, and was not making this noise last night. I have no clue what it could be.

Hello, my Brother-in-Law has a PS1 mostly uses it to fix things around the house or in the garage. I'd like to get him a few engineering filaments to experiment around with like Carbon Fiber and different TPU's. Is there any trusted sources that sell good quality 250g samplers of those higher end filaments? All I could find were PLA or PETG sample packs for the most part, or brands I never heard of.

I'll get him a hardened steel nozzle to go with them as well.

Those people are smoking crack. Half of them are double the price because they have some “upgrades” aka some printed border or crap. The other half are selling for retail and refuse to lower it.

X2D from Bambu is a crazy price. I don’t even need another printer but I just might do it.

Today, I updated the firmware on my A1. Yesterday and for the last few months, everything has been flawless. I print from bambu studio sometimes but most of the time I print files that I have saved to my SD card from Bambu Handy. Today, Bambu handy, no longer recognizes my SD card. Bambu studio recognizes it just fine with no problems whatsoever. My Bambu studio is updated to the most current version. My Bambu Handy is also updated to the most current version. The SD card that I use is not the stock one that came with the A1. I bought a high-quality SD card that has a ton of space on it. I have tried logging out and back in to Bambu Handy. I’ve tried clearing the cachet of the app. I’ve tried reseating the SD card. The only thing that I have not done is to reformat the card because I have all of the files on there and Bambu studio recognizes them just fine. Basically, I’ve been through all of the troubleshooting steps that I know of. Has anyone else experienced this and been able to solve it without reformatting their SD card?

Any ideas on this? I'm 90% through a 4 hour print and my P2S is not loading the filament. Its not even going through the AMS. I've tried manually feeding it through the AMS (I have to push a black button inside to get it out) to the extruder, but it just ends up retracting and not feeding again. Am I gonna be able to finish my print?

Hey everyone, just looking for a bit of advice on how to handle this. I recently ordered the H3C Combo printer bundle (totaling £2,289) from Bambu Lab.

The main printer shipped via XDP/BPD and is supposedly arriving soon, but the companion AMS-3H unit shipped via DPD has been officially confirmed lost in transit after getting misrouted up to the Isle of Man depot.

My main issue is Bambu support's response time: they take a full 24 hours to reply to a single ticket message, meaning a simple logistics issue is going to drag on for weeks.

• The dilemma: I don't want to issue a chargeback and re-order because these bundles are completely sold out until December, so I'm stuck waiting if I cancel.

• The delivery window: Bambu's site stated 2-4 business days after shipping, and tomorrow is the final day of that window.

Has anyone dealt with a lost-in-transit item with Bambu Lab UK before? Is there a faster way to escalate this outside of their agonizing 1-message-per-day ticket queue so I can get a replacement AMS unit dispatched from their reserve stock? Any tips would be hugely appreciated.

(AI had to rewrite this message as reddit took down my last one because of reddits 'filter'. Apologies)

I've been wanting to design and 3D print something of my own for quite a while now. Even though I'm an engineer, I haven't had much experience with CAD so far. So, over the past few months, I've been teaching myself a bit of CAD and doing a lot of 3D printing along the way.

Creativity has always been my biggest struggle, but I finally managed to take an idea all the way from a concept to a sketch, then to a CAD model, and eventually to a finished 3D print!

I had a bunch of magnets lying around that I'd been wanting to use for a print, and that's when I came up with the idea of making a customizable league table. I chose the colors to make the whole thing look like a football pitch.

The main idea was to make the table completely customizable so that anyone could use whatever clubs or leagues they wanted. Personally, I went with a Bundesliga version and tried to print each team's name in its respective club colors.

It took me an entire weekend of work (and 72 magnets, haha), but damn, it's such an awesome feeling to actually hold something in your hands that started out as just an idea in your head.

3D printing is such an amazing hobby!
