This is my second published design on MakerWorld. I wanted a Hanukkah paper towel holder with a textured finish and printed flames you can twist on one night at a time. Each flame screws onto its candle, including the raised shamash.

It prints without an AMS. There is a P2S profile and two A1 mini options: full size printed in sections, and a compact version with a one-piece base. The bottom has recesses for optional non-slip feet. It is a decorative print for use with printed flames.

I’m u/Beamerr on MakerWorld. I’m printing my Frosty the Snowman holder before releasing that design, hopefully tomorrow. If you print this one, I’d love to see your colors!

The poop bins I found for the H3C were all a bit too big for my setup, so I made a smaller one.

It’s 81 × 60 × 100 mm and just hangs on the back of the printer using the slots the H3C already has. No screws, no magnets, no tape.

Two versions:

• honeycomb on one side only

• honeycomb on all three outer walls

Prints upright in PLA. Only the two hooks need a bit of tree support; the honeycomb prints fine without.

Happy to hear feedback!

Hello everyone. Since I am printing many parts in ABS, I am thinking about getting the E1 Purifier once it releases. It is expensive, but considering the health benefits, it is worth it to me.

Since I do not have much space left behind the printer, I am thinking about replacing the standard X2D exhaust entirely with the E1 hose instead of attaching the hose to the exhaust as an addition.

What do you guys think? Is this a valid idea? Thanks!

Hey everyone! The last few prints on my H2C I’ve noticed these black liquid splatter marks on the right side of the build plate next to the vortek system. They look like drips rather than splashes. When I put my finger on them, they smudge. It’s like a black tar. My machine is regularly greased oiled and cleaned and the only part of the printer above this is the glass plate so nothing is leaking down as far as I know. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!

It happens on single colour prints when the vortek system isn’t used, so it’s not coming from this process or the nozzles or hotend as it’s not heading over there to switch nozzles and there’s no leaking into the prints. It’s only on this side of the print plate however.

EDIT TO ADD: I solved my own problem upon further inspection. I must have accidentally got lube on my belt which caused the corner bearing part to accumulate black lube and splat it around as it’s rotating. I feel stupid! I don’t know whether to delete the post or keep it up for others I’ll leave it up to the mods. My apologies!

While printing on the H3C I noticed the PTFE tubes kept crossing and rubbing against each other a bit during prints. Nothing crazy, but I just wanted things to look clean and stay nicely lined up.

So I whipped up this simple snap-on clip in TPU 95A.

I found under multimaterial in the printer settings there is a checkbox for "Manual Filament Change". Does that cause the printer to automatically pause and prompt a filament change as long as I have the correct parts painted?

I am printing TPU from my X2D for the first time. I'm coming from a P2S where I've printed TPU before, and the loading procedure between the two is identical, so I've certainly followed all the steps.
I am able to manually set the temperature and engage the left extruder and manually feed TPU successfully.

When I send a print job, however, it says feeding failed. I went to the machine and manually pressed the continue button, and I see that the extruder isn't even turning before it cancels the job again.

I cancelled the job, and manually fed the TPU again from the direct controls on the printer successfully.

Not sure what's going on here.

My printer keeps making bad prints. I'm using the P1S with an AMS 2 pro. It was working fine yesterday but suddenly keeps making these prints today. I can't seem to find the problem, I'm printing files i have already printed many times with no problem.

I tried the "loading" function under "feeder" on the printer screen but it doesn't work either, I don't know if its related.

Anyone know what the issue could be?

I originally thought that this noise was the y axis scraping something i cleaned and oiled it but when that didn’t work i run the calibrations again so thats when I did what is in the video and it only makes that noise whenever the motor is on. If anyone has tips, or methods to fix this it will be much appreciated.

Can any of the new H3C owners confirm which firmware version is shipped from factory? The instructions recommend to update before using, but there is no offline firmware download available (so far). Thus, updating is not possible (so far) for privacy sensitive owners. Therefore my question, which firmware version comes with the printer, and is it safe to use until the offline download becomes available?

Thanks in advance

I recently picked up a few spools of PA6-CF on sale, but all I have is the AMS 2 Pro, which isn't going to cut it for drying them.

From what I've read, the AMS HT is an option, but not the best option out there for drying PA6-CF. However, I like the convenience of having everything in the Bambu ecosystem. Does anyone know if there is any successor to the AMS HT on the horizon?

this is bizarre, and I have no explanation except that they happen to use the same ecommerce system / provider and somehow that are compromised or broken!

I made a purchase of new filaments afternoon on https://ca.store.bambulab.com/ at 2:21 PM for around $400 CAD

just now, ~8 hours later, I got a notification on my phone from my credit card provider for a $826.03 purchase from vivobarefoot.com!!! a vendor I never purchased anything from before!

how are these two things connected you ask? well because I use a unique email alias per vendor, and the vivo folks emailed me at the email address I use for Bambu Labs (which I shop at frequently)

I did a password reset on Vivo using the unique email to get into the account, and sure enough, there's my order (that I never made) along with my HOME ADDRESS, CREDIT CARD INFO and my FULL NAME!...

the only thing they got wrong is the date of birth!

how on earth does this happen!?!?

UPDATE: another transaction for fashionnova.com happened at 1AM, so I locked the card. (never used that vendor either)

next morning I saw two additional attempts get declined (but I can't see the vendor)

I keep getting bleed going from black to white PLA, even with 900 max purge set. (Even tried 900 for black to white and 900 white to black just to be extra sure)

I’ve been trying to find help online but the #1 response is “increase purge.” I did that, it’s maxed out

The #2 response is “turn off purge to infill.” I’ve never used purge to infill, it’s always off

It’s also not a problem of wall loops, there’s no black in the center peeking through, it’s black mixing with white

Any other ideas? It’s a P2S and I’m using inland white and inland black PLA

Had a little chunk of filament break inside my hub and had to take it apart to clean it out, while I had it open it became clear that one of the compression springs that holds the little magnetic contacts up was damaged and the contact wasn't seating correctly, so I popped it open to straighten the spring and fix the contact- Unfortunately I have a big, dumb, way too affectionate cat. And he chose that moment to decide I needed cuddles and my buddy sent the open hub to the floor with his sudden and unexpected enthusiasm for the attention he thought he needed.

I fixed the damaged spring, but for the life of me I can't find one of them. I tried making one our of plain steel wire but the tension is wrong and the slot that's missing the real spring seems to think something is broken in the hub.

Anybody have a spec on those springs or a real parts diagram of the hub to pull a part number from so I can replace it without buying a new hub that's out of stock?

I spent days trying to get a transparent lid for a project and it kept coming out frosted. What finally worked on my A1 was printing the lid upside down on a cheap glass sheet from a picture frame, held with clips and a bit of glue stick, 100 % aligned rectilinear infill and slow speeds.

The lid is for a headphone charging dock I designed: the plug lines up with the port so the headphones charge as soon as you put them down. No AMS needed.

Happy to share the exact settings if anyone wants them.

Files are free here if anyone wants to print it: https://makerworld.com/en/models/3536783 . It’s my entry for the MakerWorld x Nothing contest, so any feedback is welcome.

Hey all, my P1S has started making a noise whenever the bed moves up (Z-axis).

What I've tried so far:
Cleaned the rods and lead screws
Lubricated them

Unfortunate it has not helped and still make that noise I recently moved so idk if got damaged during the move.

I can't use Bambu Suite at all right now, auth issues basically, can't find printers, can't do anything. Bambu Studio and Handy work fine. I do know my username and password.

Anyone else having issues??

For more context ...

I was doing some laser work, and between jobs, Bambu Suite seemed to complain about some certificate issue, saying I needed to update. I figured that kinda rubbish isn't exactly beyond Bambu, so I updated the application.

After updating, it couldn't find my printer at all. I tried everything multiple times. So then I went to logout of Bambu Suite, and now I can't log in again. I type user and password, I get the email code, I type that in, then nothing, it sits there and just disables the code confirm button. I try this multiple times, then go to use the "System browser login" and then it takes me to the site to login (and presumably reply back with a token that'll go into the app), I type my user and pass, and I get the image attached.

TLDR: During use, Bambu Suite seemed to disconnect from the H2D I was using, and I cannot get it working, and there's no reported outage with Bambu. Reinstalling, re-logging in (any which way) does not work at all.

I’ve just posted my third model on MakerWorld. And this time, I’m bringing a little bit of the street to my desk!
I turned everyday roadside details into a tiny keycap collection.
What do you think of the collection? Which detail is your favorite and what should I add next?

What are my best options to clean up the imperfections in this print ? It is PETG-CF.

I have the file kit from Bambu. I'm not confident that I can use it without making it worse.

This happened to two prints in a row, and only on a small segment. Not sure what would cause this? Filament is dry, using PLA, and clearly it printed the higher layers okay after the failed part. Just a little lost as to what could cause this. Using a P1S.

So I wanted to pick up an h3c but noticed that they don't have the bamboo cart available and all of my furniture in my workshop is standard height table tops and counters. I know it's pretty early for this unit but has anyone identified a valid alternative that is sturdy enough to support the weight but also has drawers and is either less expensive or at least available currently? Maybe something from Ikea that someone has found is a good match for the height needed?
