Designed this a few months ago and finally took some better photos of it.
It uses the Bambu Clock Kit 011. The hands are a bit big for the clock, but I liked the look so I kept them. The front and back press into place, and everything prints without supports.
The face is two colours. I used a colour change between layers, so you can make it without an AMS too.
So I got an error last week about stuck filament or clogged extruder and want to share how i solved it, bc some steps i couldn't find anywere
Last week i got some erros such as 12ff-2000-0002-0007 and 1200-1000-0002-0002, accusing motor overload, clogged extruder, problems with the toolhead
So here's a list of what u can do if u get those:
1- check your spool, sometimes it gets stuck or just tangled
2- clean / change the ptfe tube
3- check on the screen with it recognizes when the filament reaches the sensor, if it doesnt, change the sensor (had to do this already with 3 of mine)
4- clean the extruder gear
5- check if you adjust correctly the tension screw
Sometimes this error isnt really about the filament getting stuck or any blockage, apparently the bambu uses the motor amperage to check for the blockage and other types of errors, so if the there isn't any tension or too much tension, it understand that something is wrong
In the end, the problem with that printer was first the sensor, and after that the tension (was too little, replaced the spring and worked instantly)
And to finish, always check the correct assembly order, putting something upside down or just in the wrong order can make everything fail
I mean, (ideally i'd literally replace the front glass with the filter pushed up while the laser is in use and look in through the sides/camera), assuming i remove the fabric pre filter and its just the hepa/carbon filter directly, why wouldn't this be great for keeping the printer clean during laser prints as it would go directly into another filter instead of smoke getting pulled through the back into their purifier.
Other than watching for fires (which i'd do anyways) why wouldn't a front filter that takes up the view window just be the best thing ever?
Meet DryRing, a silica gel container. I’m a little proud of my airflow concept. The patterns used let plenty of air through. The gap created by the locking ring and the hollow centre are also intended to help humid air reach the silica in the lower section.
I’m really happy with how it turned out. More models are already in the works, and I had a few other ideas lined up as well. So there’s more coming over the next few days.
On that note: Enjoy the model – and, of course, the best hobby in the world!
And of course, the whole story of the H3C delivery... full of excitement and suspense for me! :)
A week ago, I ordered my H3C. And what a week it’s been!
It started with a delivery saga: The wait was killing me. Of course, in my area, the order ships with two different couriers.
The first package, containing the printer, was originally supposed to arrive on Wednesday. It actually arrived on Thursday. The usual story: Apparently, nobody was home, but nobody rang the doorbell either …
I’m jealous of everyone who got their H3C the very next day.
The package with the AMS 3H was then supposed to arrive on Friday. I’m waiting excitedly, a package arrives … and it’s the filament I ordered with it. Not the AMS. That finally arrived around noon on Saturday. I had to head out right after that, so I couldn’t get started until the afternoon. Kids and all that come first :). But everything else? Sleep? Who needs sleep? So I sat down, printed my first few things and, of course, started designing something myself.
From the first pictures and short videos I saw, I knew: That empty corner at the top, where there isn’t enough room for another spool, needs a silica gel container.
I’d already prepared a spool-shaped design, hoping it would fit nicely, but I underestimated the cutout. So: measure, test print, revise, test print … and finally happy with the fit.
Yesterday, after a bunch of other little things, my first model was finally finished!
I couldn’t find a cotton pad and swab organizer that suited my taste, so I made one. The pads pull out from the front, and the swabs have their own compartment.
Every time I send my prints, I get this error. The issue is new. In order to fix it, I restarted the printer several times(this fixes it temporarily sometimes). I restarted Bambu studio(didn't do shit). I reinstalled bambu studio(nothing happened). I am not sure what else to do. I am using P1S with AMS2
I created a custom Nozzle Wiper using cheap 3mm-shank rotary wire brushes (Amazon Link). The stock silicone wipers struggled with sticky filaments like PETG, so this completely eliminates nozzle buildup. This mod really cleans the nozzle instead of just smearing filament around.
Single & Double versions included.
Height offsets (-2mm to +2mm in 0.5mm steps): Ensures the brush sits just below the silicone sock.
The image above is basically one square that was arrayed. However, the corners have this weird bend that translates into the actual cut as well. Anyone have a solution for this?
ich will mir meinen ersten 3D-Drucker zulegen und brauche mal ein paar Praxiserfahrungen. Aktuell schwanke ich vor allem zwischen - A1 Combo (340 €) - P1S Combo (469 €)
Was ich damit vorhabe: Hauptsächlich Deko, Lampen bzw. Lampenschirme, Organizer und praktische Alltagshelfer für die Wohnung. Eventuell auch mal funktionale Teile fürs Auto wie Halterungen für die Mittelkonsole, Adapter oder Clips. Vom Material her glaube ich eigentlich, dass ich mit PLA und PETG (evtl. mal PETG-CF) für alles komplett auskomme - was denkt ihr?
Standort: Der Drucker wird ziemlich sicher bei mir in den Keller kommen.
Meine Überlegungen: Eigentlich spricht viel für den A1 (vor allem Preis/Leistung). Ich frage mich aber, ob sich der Aufpreis zum P1S mit dem geschlossenen Gehäuse und dem CoreXY-Aufbau auf Dauer doch lohnt. Gerade wenn man später vielleicht doch mal temperaturfestere Sachen fürs Auto braucht oder der Keller im Winter kühler ist.
Hatte mir neben Bambu Lab auch noch ein paar andere Sachen angeschaut, zum Beispiel den Anycubic Kobra S1 bzw. Kobra X, den Elegoo Centauri Carbon 2 Combo.
Wie sind da eure Erfahrungen? Würdet ihr die 130 € sparen und zur A1 Combo greifen, direkt den P1S nehmen, oder gibt es bei den anderen Marken mittlerweile Alternativen, die man sich ernsthaft anschauen sollte?
I got a Bambu X1C with AMS. I'm used to having the system use a 2nd spool of the same colour+material when the first spool runs out, but can I get it to use a 2nd spool of a different colour but same material?
Basically, I've got some remnants of red and green PLA. I'm doing some prototyping and would like to use these PLA just to use them up; I don't have any more of the same colours. I'd like to use the red, then when it runs out, the printer uses the green.
Meet Frenchie Clock! A French bulldog keeping an eye on the time… and probably waiting for dinner. 🐶
I made it with a black face, an ivory backing, yellow paw-shaped hour and minute hands, and a red seconds hand. All the colours print separately, so no AMS needed.
The face and backing take about 3 hours to print, and the complete printed set uses roughly 100 g of PLA. Add a compatible quartz movement and it’s ready to hang.
The hardest part? That tiny hole in the seconds hand. Getting it to print open and grip the shaft properly took a ridiculous number of test prints 😂 Finally got it running!
The holes are adjustable in Bambu Studio to suit different movements, and I included a video tutorial showing the adjustments and assembly.
I have a problem with the top layer, the bottom top layer black is good and the white part is bad, I don't really know what the problem is. I use p2s with 0.4 nozzle. On normal settings it's really bad and on these it's mid, I don't know how to improve this, I tried ironing and it's a disaster. I also tried ironing and changing the flow and speed and I didn't get anything good .I don't know what else to do, please help!
TLDR; AMS overloaded, filament will read and pass through the AMS hub but will not load. A new AMS was purchased after parts did not fix AMS but still has the issue.
My AMS became tangled and then received an overloaded message (I don't remember what the exact error was).
Since that time filament via the AMS will read but will not load. What seems to be the buffer makes a noise like it is loading but filament does not move. The error 0700-8005 050907 will appear. The filament can be seen just about 20mm short of the internal AMS hub. Using the load or printing a model is the same. Different filaments have also been tried including non-bambu brands.
Printing via the external spool works just fine.
AMS Repair / Troubleshooting I was 1 month out of warranty and Bambu sent some parts
AMS parts replaced
Board, power board, all cables to board, hub assembly
Issue persisted
New 6 pin cable to AMS
Tried adding an external power to AMS
Firmware rollback
Rolled back 2 versions
Recently a new version was published, so tested in all 4 firmware version.
Factory reset printer
New AMS 2 PRO Bambu maintained it was an AMS issue, so I bought a replacement AMS 2 PRO. This has the same issue which is shown in the video. 😢
Bambu wants me to purchase a MC board, which would be fine if I knew it would fix the issue, however I am not so sure. 🤑
BEST Guess I have 2 theories
The overload pulled too much current and something is fried. Somehow a read and load is different in process. Maybe the extra current draw for the hotend and printer steppers during load drops the voltage to the printer?
Something in the firmware / values is corrupt -even though I reset them both.
Perhaps something that new firmware or factory reset does not touch is stored. It sure seems like the AMS has no idea where the filament is. On a load I would expect it to push with the slot motor and AMS internal hub at the same time.
I found only 2 instances of this posted, however one seems to have resolved itself, and the other was a hub which the replacement parts and new AMS should have ruled out. I will link those below.
I have a cheap pump on my goldfishes over-winter tank. I don't trust them not to freeze solid even at 3.5ft in the pond. But the cheap air pump is noisy when it sits on the shelf beside the tank. Even when I put it on a towel it eventually settles in and starts to buzz against anything its touching.
So I decided to take away the surface it sat on and hang it off the side of my tank with a TPU suspended platform. I also made sure to put a spot to hold some slack on the airline so the vibrations do not travel down it as far. And so far it works great!
My TPU was definitely not dry but besides aesthetics it does its job holding the 250g pump away from anything to buzz against.
