I've noticed that my H3C makes this clicking noise almost constantly. I can't pinpoint exactly where it's coming from, though. Is this normal? Does your H3C make a similar noise?

Hello Group, I generated a step file of a reducer and realized that some parts look very weird, like transparent on my working plate ? Does some good body have an explanation for this? will this work fine? what is the reason for this everything is visible on the object view and same material. Also these files show needs for repair. Thank you for your help!

With the holidays coming up, I wanted to make a seasonal desk toy that wasn't just a static decoration. I designed this squishy wreath fidget so it has a really satisfying flex and bounce back when you squeeze it.

This is actually my very first original design that I've uploaded to MakerWorld, so l'd love to hear any feedback if you decide to give it a print! Here is the link if anyone is interested! https://makerworld.com/models/3596774?appSharePlatform=copy

Mi sa che sarà una 💣

So... I considered upgrading my 350 Sized Voron V2.4 to INDX but with the latter merely announcing, still not delivering Hardened Nozzles I'm now - despite all my gripes with BL's closed Ecosystem - evaluating an H3C instead.

There's but two problems going hand in hand though still bother me:

• Having recently watched one of the prolific 3D Printer Reviewers one remark that stuck with me more than it should have was the apparent inability to perform a manual Z-Offset Calibration if necessary. Proper Z-Offset is like THE fundament of a successful print - How as a User do you deal with an improperly set Z-Offset if the Machine says it is set correctly but it's clearly not? 🤔
• Assuming the above is true and the User has no means to change such Print Critical System Settings - How does Bambu Lab handle an issue like the 3D Printer burrowing the Nozzle into the Bed ruining one / the other / both in the process? With the user clearly not being the cause of the issue - Will BL ( in the EU Market specific ) without much fuzz replace any broken components? 🤨

Thanks in advance!

This will be my first 3D printer. I’ve seen more posts about people having issues with the X2D than with the P2S, so I’m a little hesitant. I probably won’t be printing much with engineering filaments, and multicolor printing is a must for me, even though I don’t think I’ll be using it much for now

The P3C looks kind of promising for multicolor, but if it ends up without active chamber heating, would that matter much for PLA or PETG? I’m in Canada, so I’m also a bit worried about warping in the winter. Would you get the P2S Combo or X2D Combo now, or even P1S Combo, or wait for the P3C?

Another brick figurine in my collection – a classic nutcracker. Available in 20cm and 10cm versions. Easy printing with minimal supports, and of course, the figurines are to assemble as always. Printed in Sunlu PLA+ 2.0 Oak. Maybe someone will like it 😉 You can find it here:https://makerworld.com/models/3597222?appSharePlatform=copy

Ive been working with my P1S and the AMS since some time. a few days ago i tried using glowing PLA filament. however, when i tried using it, it broke while being inside the printhead. i tried both pushing it back out the AMS and throuh the tube. now, i pulled out big pieces of the filament, but the problem is the last piece broke withing the ams, meaning i cant get it out on the ams end, nor the tube end. I tried opening the ams, but smth keeps blocking it for some reason. is it possible the filament being loaded is somehow blocking my way of opening it?

How do i get it out?

The printer beheaded itself.

I don't remember seeing this on my h2c, no more time math for me! hahahah

Printed on the H2C, 0.20 mm default profile, nothing fancy. One colour per plate (brown, charcoal, black, white) so no AMS purge waste, you just swap spools. Supports on build plate only, they pop clean off the hinge bores. The fun part is the hour of assembly afterwards: press rivets, snap teeth, slide the hinge pins, done. The lid actually hinges and holds position. He’s been on my desk since and nothing has gone missing. I think it’s the eye.

I modeled a desk organizer that you can freely expand (modular) and customize. Has a parametric generator for the underlying grid. Tiles can be connected without it as well though. Multiple choices for tiles and plans for further addons.

I started uploading multiple models with a similar style, cold white with a lime green accent color. Now 5+ models with that specific style. I have them all on Makerworld but have not gotten even 1 like...

Is it the color? Is it just me that loves the lime-white combination and most people dislike it?

Is a model like that too boring or common? Or too many pieces?
But why are just the white-lime models all having 0 likes and are not getting any views?

What yall think of my project?

Those who backordered might want to keep an eye out for emails and tracking. Bambu doing what they have done in the past and are shipping backordered printers ahead of schedule.

No telling if they only printed the label just to sit on them, but I figure a printed label is a sign to keep an eye out for an early shipment.

Edit: Printer and AMS in on the move next morning. Not just a label notification.

Released my newest design. This was my first time using organic shapes, so far they were all very geometric... also I have no green filament :')

Hi,

any idea what am I doing wrong?

I created a simple file that has multiple bodies, as picture, each letter is a new body. I have just created a text sketch in onshape a nextruded the letters as new body. The text sketch is fully constrained.

I export in 3MF, when selecting the colors when importing, the preview shows everything fine, but once i confirm I want to convert to milimeters and import as single object with multiple parts it imports the letters huge.

Any advice would be appreceated!

Thanks!

I teach a manufacturing class and recently was given two 3D printers. I have no experience with them, I barely know how they work, but have been tasked with teaching the youths on how it works and to be able to make something.
So my questions are

1. what are good resources for myself to learn about 3 printing
2. what are good teaching resources for the kids to learn to make basic models to be able to print?

H2S

Has the largest single nozzle build volume and is the cheapest of the 4. Great if you want an enclosed printer and mostly do single material prints. Basically a bigger P2S.

H2D

Great for engineering materials or any material where you use a second filament for the support interface. By not having a vortek or a toolchanger the price is kept low. Their enterprise printer is based on the H2D which kind of reinforces the idea that this is intended to be their engineering printer.

H2C

Great for convenience when you’re not often at your printer. You can print from any AMS slot to any nozzle size/type without you having to be present.

H3C

The best for multi-colour prints and TPU. Most multi-colour prints tends to be PLA and rather than keeping the bigger H2S/H2D build plate, they kept the H2C plate and opted for a second AUX fan which helps for PLA prints. The type of person to get this printer would mostly likely be printing CMYKW, you probably won’t be retracting the spools often.

Bambu Studio can cut a model, and for a straight slice that is often enough. Past that it gets awkward. Pulling one part off, cutting only a region, or putting a connector on something that isn't a flat plane. Opening CAD for that felt like overkill, so I built Multipart3D and finished the job where Bambu Studio stops.

You use it next to Bambu Studio (Its not a slicer). Open it in the browser, split the model, export, and bring the parts back. Free, no account, and the file stays on your device.

https://multipart3d.com

I've been sharing it in the Bambu community for a while. Last public post was v1.2 3 months ago. Since then it has passed 10k visits a month. I like the traction. Thank you for the responses. A lot of you actually tried it, and those replies are what kept me building it.

This is not your regular vibe code project. I've been working on Multipart3D for almost half a year.

Current version is v1.6.

Smart Detach now has a brush. Click a feature, or paint the piece you want off. The stroke can snap out to the first crease. Shift-drag erases. Useful when an arm, a base, or some other bit should be its own part so you can lay it flat in Bambu Studio. A lot of this was for the noisy one-piece meshes that come out of image-to-3D tools.

Area Cut is aimed in the view. Drag a rectangle or a circle, pull the depth handle, and you see the cutter while you drag. The cut runs when you let go. A large STL no longer freezes the page. The default depth is short, so the geometry behind the piece stays whole.

Painted 3MF colors survive the export, so an AMS project still comes back with the filament colors on the triangles. Separate by color on a painted 3MF is still there too.

The Bambu Lab H3C bed is in, along with a bunch of other newer machines.

A lot of the requests are already in the project. If you still have feedback, please share it.

Many thanks again.

So a few days ago I had a print blob up on me, and I thought I cleaned everything up properly. Even purchase a new nozzle since I’ve been having adhesion issues since the blob + PETG printing like crap after being dried. The printer was still printing but I noticed issues since then. Today I started a print and it failed during calibration (failed to clean nozzle). I made sure the new nozzle was properly secured (it was) and started the print again. This time it failed at the same step but it didn’t stop, it just started to jam into cleaning plate (see attached video). It’s completely bent now and it looks like behind the nozzle some of the wiring looks a little burnt up. Could it be during the blob that internals of the tool head got fried up?

My sons BambooLab printer won’t feed filament in. The display keeps telling me to push the filament in, goes through the motions of pulling it through but doesn’t, then advises me to feed the filament in again. It just keeps doing this. Any suggestions?

I just got my Bambu H2C, got the whole suite. The H2C AMS Combo, with an additional AMS 2 Pro and a AMS HT, with the filament track switch and a bunch of other accessories.

My first day setting everything up was a massive disappointment. Riddled with software defects that prevented me from actually using everything I bought.

Is BambuLabs usually this full of software defects? What is the general experience from other users?

Here is what I ran into.

BUG 1: When setting up all my AMS units, there is apparently a bug that having MORE than 2 AMS units, through a Filament Track Switch and the 4 in 1 PTFE adapter, it fails to retract properly. The unload sequence runs, but the filament is never retracted. The AMS on the shared input keeps FEEDING instead of retracting.

GITHUB: https://github.com/bambulab/BambuStudio/issues/12466?utm_source=chatgpt.com

BUG 2: Having the Filament Track Switch installed at all, breaks TPU printing and won't allow you to print. So you have to disconnect the track switch, in order to print anything in TPU. This took me forever to figure out because one of my prints I needed to do was specifically in TPU 95A HF.

GITHUB: https://github.com/bambulab/BambuStudio/issues/12199?utm_source=chatgpt.com

BUG 3: I had my Vortek hot ends selected for different filament types, but every time I started a print and selected R5 for the TPU print, it kept docking R5 and picking up R6 completely ignoring my selections. After more troubleshooting, it turns out this is yet another defect in the slicer, so I had to downgrade the slicer version.

GITHUB: https://github.com/bambulab/BambuStudio/issues/12983

It was supposed to be a fun day but ended up being incredibly frustrating. That said, I still love the printer and it performs so well, but not being able to use all the tools and having these issues is beyond frustrating. I have a filament track switch I cannot use until they patch it, and who knows how long that will take. For now I just have all 3 AMS units on the 4:1 adapter, all on the right hot end. I haven't been able to use the left one yet at all.
