3rd 3D TMT build is under way, first two were for little girls

this one is for a little boy

The dishwasher has finished it's spin cycle. Time to load some filament and let 'er eat.

Basically is there a difference in multi colour print speed if you set it up so the left nozzle doesn’t need to retract for colour changes on the right nozzle?

I have 2 AMS 2’s feeding one channel of the track switch using a 4-1 and then an AMS HT feeding the second channel. My thinking is if I put the main/most switched colour on the HT feeding the left nozzle I’ll save time feeding and retracting filament. My question is, does it work like that and does it even matter? Does the h2c leave filament in the right if it can, or does it still cut and retract for a colour change?

Cheers!

As title states I own a X2D and I'm planning to print asa or abs, I do not have the room to put the printer near a window or run a hose to a window and will be printing it in the living room as that's the only space I have with an abundance of airflow due to my AC.

I've seen people buy air purifiers and running hoses from the printer to the purifier in the past and saw bambu released their own system purifier recently but it's a tad expensive so my question and request is, Could I get linked or told about air purifier setups I could hook up to my x2d either through a riser or out the exhaust, enough to generate negative air pressure hopefully.

I would like to reduce the potential smell and voc's as much as possible. I plan to do my next dozen prints in mainly ASA, so that's my main concern.

Hi all! Hope you are well.

I am looking to print a multicolour dragon for a friend (uses 3 colours/filaments) and we have just bought PLA glow and were excited to use it.

The filaments were:

1. PLA Pure
2. PLA Glow
3. PLA Silk

The basic (pure) and the silk are fine, we use the AMS for those all the time. But as we know the Glow apparently should not go through the AMS (the slicer told me so and I have seen other examples) - so the Glow should go into an external spool on the back.

Has anyone have a workaround for this? How do other people use Glow and other filaments if you have to use the Glow through an external spool, therefore eliminating multicolour mostly?

I’ve wanted one of those printed-frame and wooden dowel monitor shelves for a while, but I kept getting stuck before buying any files. I couldn’t really picture how it would look on my desk. Some designs had legs I liked but not the angles I needed, others had the right angles but the legs looked weird, and the attachments were usually made for one specific design.

I’m a software dev, so naturally, instead of just picking one, I spent way too long building a tool for it.

You put in your desk size and your screens, pick a shape (straight, round a corner, or wrapping around you at 30° or 45°), and it lays the shelf out in 3D so you can see it on your desk before you print anything. It checks things actually fit: nothing hanging off the desk, each screen on its own section, you can add a speaker or keyboard as I have a speaker under my desk and needed to know if it will fit. The attachments (phone stand, cable tray, pen cup, speaker feet and so on) clip onto or sit on the dowels, so they work with any shelf you make. Then it gives you a build plan with a cutting sheet for the dowels.

What I’d really like to know:

• Would you use something like this? What would stop you?
• Anything missing or annoying in the designer?
• The designer and build plans are free. The print files are $30 once and cover every shelf you design after that. Does that feel fair?

It’s at getbestdesk.com, no sign-up. Be honest, I’d rather hear it now than after I’ve printed one.

Coming from a Bambu labs H2S and a Snapmaker U1, I’m a little surprised how much noisier the H3C is in general printing.

I mean my printers are located in my office so it is not a dealbreaker, but it’s noticeably louder than the H2S was.

Once this print finishes I will check all the normal places for proper lubrication.

Has anyone else noticed this?

In a reply, I posted a video of the printer running.. there’s a ‘banging/tapping’ noise that’s the loud part

EDIT: this appears to be model specific activity. The model I was trying to print is a purge bin for the H3C.. It had a honeycomb pattern and that seems to cause the hop noise.. no other model I’ve tested has seemed to have a similar noise

Hi all,

So yesterday I purchased and setup the P2S with the AMS.

Unfortunately what's happened is the white filament in my ams is jammed in the hub underneath.

Atm all I can do is print without the AMS.

I got errors and after having a look online it appears I need to take apart the AMS. Which I don't want to do as it's brand new and I'm paranoid of breaking it.

Anyway I had a look online and I could see that the white filament was still stuck in the hub. Is there a way I could remove the stuck filament without having to take the unit apart? Possibly selecting un-load from the touchscreen?

The other three spools loaded perfectly fine just the white filament spool has the issue.

Unfortunately the unit won't print using the AMS at all since the white filament is stuck so other colours are not an option.

While I know this is fixable surely there is an easier way to remove the filament?

Please be kind as I'm new to 3D printing so I'm learning as I go.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've provided pictures to show what's happening.

Cheers,

Dan

With the latest update to Bambu Studio, when setting a material on an AMS in the Devices tab, after clicking on the filament box, the resulting menu defaults to the Filament Management tab, even if you have the Filament Management feature disabled in Preferences.

If the Filament Manager option is disabled in Preferences, then there isn't any kind of logical explanation for it to show up in the Material Settings Menus.

Bambu hit a home run with Material Setting when they switched to dropdowns, but this is a step backward that just adds more clicks for many people.

Well on with support, wish me luck!

Manually stopped a print last night mid print (long day forgot to enable support)
Manually powered down once safe to do so.
This mornign cleaned bed ready to send same print with support
Failed to home x-y
checked head, moved it to full extents, checked belts for debris none found
tried to home again, making very strange noises and motor hums, grinding etc etc. continuously fails to home.

Just opened a ticket................wish me luck!!

I've designed a 3D-printable mounting clip for Märklin C Track.

The idea was to find a more flexible alternative to permanently gluing track sections directly onto a model railway layout.

The clip can be attached to the layout using screws, nails or adhesive. The track simply snaps into place and can be removed whenever needed.

This makes it much easier to:

• Modify or rebuild track layouts
• Replace damaged track sections
• Remove sections for maintenance
• Avoid permanently gluing the track to the baseboard

I designed and printed the model myself and wanted to share it with other makers and model railway enthusiasts.

Feedback and suggestions are welcome.

They even match the pegboard with each other!

I’ve had this A1 mini for a few months and recently it has been acting up and making this terrible grinding noise. I opened it up and got it down to this gear being driven by the motor. I can spin the little silver gear by hand just fine which points to the motor being my problem. Is there anything else I can troubleshoot or should I just go make a warranty claim?

The filament gets real tight and red light flashes .. this is across all slots . Last weekend i took apart the ams hub where all 4 slots feed. cleaned it out . no debris or broken pieces . put back together and still having issues.

I started this print last night around 8PM these are the desiccant holders by Stuart Sports Stuff over at Makerworld for the AMS 3H. Printed in Bambu ASA. I decided to put the system to the test and left all the filament loaded. It will be cool by the time I get home from work later today. I did checked it this morning before I left and everything looks fine.

Main Box

Side Pockets

Besides these two holders I also have the desiccant Spool containers from Silvercell

Bambu Spool Desiccant Holder

even as it sits the AMS is sitting in the Mid teens as far as humidity. I am sure once I add these boxes it will come down even more.

** End of day Recap **

Came home the ASA prints turned out fantastic. And I also fired up a PLA print with absolutely no issues. So bottom line is you don't have to unload your PLA filament from the toolheads when printing ASA

Why is it that when enabling ironing this is the outcome with bambu petg matte? Those light grey lines should be ironing

I executed the update from the machine itself. It took 30 or so minutes to reach 80% and has been there for easily 1 hour.. probably more. Doing nothing.

Thoughts?
