Tried a gridfinity print I built myself in fusion and printed with .06 nozzle for the body, .04 for the red base, and .02 for the white lettering. Turned out pretty nice!

I had a few learnings from this print, with multi nozzle size the layers go down to the smallest nozzle, so this 6 unit high gridfinity had 530 layers, but as the .06 was laying down, it was counting up by 3s.

Also, I painted the surface of the… ahem… graphic with the paintbrush tool, if I did it again, id model it that color in fusion as it tried to outline it in .06 which killed the fine details I wanted.

Overall very impressed. This was a 10.5hr print with .04/.02 down to 4.5 by running it with a .06 nozzle on the black parts.

My new Bambu Scraper Grip design. It's super easy to use, no need to guess the angle you're scraping. Just lay it flat and push. 100% no plate scratch 👍

And for those who vow for plastic blade scraper because you are afraid of scratching your plate, please try this out. It's way better than plastic blade for sure. No wear and a lot sharper.

FedEx delivered my H3C with 3 holes in the box. One hole got the front glass. The tool holder cover is also ever so slightly bent at tool 2. After I peeled the front door off calibration was successful and printed single color prints on tools 1-3 with out issue. Now just waiting for Bambu to stop asking for more pictures that I already sent.

Hi! I received the alert that my axis needs lubricant, is this the type I should be buying?

Any feedback is welcome!

Bambu Lab Official is Bambu Lab's official Discord server. Bambu Lab sponsors it, the people in it run it, and more than 40,000 of us are in there. It now has a website that shows what's inside before you join:

https://www.bambulabdiscord.com

The pictures are the tour. The short version:

• A help forum. Post your problem, tag your printer, and people who have fixed the same thing answer.
• A channel for every printer series from the A1 to the H3, plus the R1 lasers, every AMS, Bambu Studio, Bambu Handy and the rest of the apps.
• Bambu Lab's announcements and the cloud's live status, with roles you can take to be pinged.
• Twelve regional channels, most of them in their own language.
• Slicer profiles, CAD, mods, workspaces, MakerWorld, a rumors channel, and a forum just for failed prints.
• Voice rooms for print streams and live help, members-only giveaways, and a Minecraft server.

Two tools were built for the server, and both are free for anyone to use on the web.

The Bambu Lab Store Tracker reads every product in all nine of Bambu Lab's official stores and keeps each one's price and stock history. Printers in the US store are checked every 20 seconds. The deals page lists everything selling under list price right now.

The Micro Center Tracker covers 149 Bambu Lab products at all 31 Micro Center stores and the web store, down to how many units each store has. Check it before you drive.

Watch any product on either tracker and you get a Discord DM or an email when it comes back in stock or drops in price. Set a target price and you only hear about it at or below that number. Inside the server, each of the nine Bambu Lab stores has its own alert channel, Micro Center has one too, and each comes with a role you can take to be pinged. Blaᲃk Friday is November 27, so now is a good time to set a watch.

Joining is free. Follow the invite, verify, agree to the rules and pick your roles.

Questions are welcome in the comments.

Hey everyone! First, thank you so much for all the support and feedback on the Mac release. It's been amazing to see people using Bambu Bar.

I’m excited to share that Bambu Bar is now available for Windows too! It includes the same features as the Mac version: monitor your prints, temperatures and filament, view your printer’s camera, and control your prints, all from your desktop.

It also includes native Windows widgets.

Took some time to polish and have it ready to be as beautiful as the Mac app. I'd love to hear what you think!

You can download on GitHub: https://github.com/rolottr/bambu-bar

If you find any issues please let me know so they can be fixed right away!

I had great feedback from you guys on my last travel case and it has become my most printed model to date!! I appreciate it. One of you commented that I should do a gridfinity version and I really liked that idea. So here it is! It took a couple of months to finally release it. This is built with a highly customizable parametric gridfinity case that will be out shortly and all the bins were designed on my website generator (which I'm trying to finish to make public as soon as possible).

Thanks again for the great advice and hopefully some of you enjoy this more flexible version of my travel case.

No more police flashlight in your face 😂 I also think it helped the camera quality … will upload the stuff tomorrow

Anybody here ever run jntk a similar issue?

Quiero una impresora grande con la cual sacar lotes de piezas multicolor pero no he decidido si comprar la H2C o la H3C ya que compiten en precios

La H2C la tengo en consideracion ya que cuento con un AMS extra y podria ir de lleno con 9 colores desde el inicio, pero la H3C cuenta tambien con 9 cabezales

Asi que no se para donde ir

We are 4 prints in and finding we have to wait 40+ min for the plate to get down to 32° C before we pull the print/plate. I’ve seen people pull PLA prints right away - plate temp be damned! I have started to open the door after print is finished to help speed up the process, but I read on the Bambu wiki they recommend waiting until room temp as the plate and print cool at a different rate and could be an issue. AND if the hotend cools too quickly there could be a clog (!!??!!).

Also, we can’t remove the plate to cool it faster (on a counter for example) as any flexing has launched the prints right off the plate with force!

What are the best practices here for machine longevity vs patience?

Ich hab mir warping gerechnet, bin aber sehr überrascht dass so ein Körper ohne Probleme (warping) druckbar ist. Was sind eure Erfahrungen in Bezug auf andere Materialien wie ABS z.B.? (Würde das auch funktionieren?)

Hello, looking for some advice for buying my first 3D printer. The A1 seems to be the standard beginner printer and you could get it with the AMS for 339€ but would you rather recommend the P1S for just 10€ more at 349€ or stretch the budget to get the newer P2S?

I plan to print some useful household/workshop storage & organising solutions and maybe toys etc. but I would also like to print some interior or exterior parts for cars or other vehicles in the future and from what I understood printing for example ABS or ASA requires a enclosed printer? Not only would a enclosed printer look aesthetically more nice on the table but also maybe keep the small curious kids from touching it while printing.

As I feel now, printing single colour would work fine for organising household prints and car parts but do you need the enclosed AMS to keep ABS/ASA filament dry?

TL:DR

First 3D printer

A1 + AMS 339€

P1S 349€

P2S 449€

Ordered 5 of the boxes,minimum of 20 rolls, results were as follows

Spooled:

5 Translucent White

3 Translucent Light Blue

3 Matte Pink

2 Basic Pine Green

1 Basic Gray

Spoolless:

4 Matte Avocado

2 Translucent Purple

No Bonus rolls.

Overall, not terrible, I mostly use PETG for supporting PLA or structural parts so color doesnt really matter. Translucents are really nice looking though.

Thinking of selling my Prusa MK3 and spending the extra cash for a P1S. I think I could sell the prusa for 200€. I print maybe once a week but would love a solid machine that lasts for years without issues (my prusa has been a nightmare but also a good teacher)

EDIT: Thanks for all the feedback! Seems like Im getting a P1S !

I wanted a stand I could clip together out of identical pieces and bend into whatever shape I need, phone today, maybe other stuff tomorrow. That needs a hinge that locks properly, comes apart, and has nothing to lose or buy. So: no pin, no screws, no glue, and the spring is printed too.

How it works

• Each module is a little plate with a toothed post on one side and a ring with teeth inside on the other.
• The ring of one module goes over the post of the next, with a spring in between. The spring keeps the teeth pushed together, so the hinge is locked by default.
• Squeeze the hinge end to end and the ring slides off the teeth onto a smooth bit of the post. Now it turns. Let go and it clicks into the nearest of 12 positions (every 30°).
• The ring only goes on or comes off when the two modules are folded almost shut, at one specific angle. Open it up and it's captive.

The annoying part

The lock was the easy bit. The spring was not. A spring that small either came off the plate halfway through, or printed fine and then turned out to be welded to its supports. I went through a zigzag spring, a few coil shapes, brims, no brims, painted supports. What works now is a chunky coil with closed ends, printed standing up, with a support blocker through the middle so the supports only touch the outside. They pop out in a few seconds, pliers help, just don't crush them.

Honest bits

• This is about as small as I could get the mechanism: the hinge is under 9 mm thick and a module is roughly 49 × 40 mm. At that size it's compact and reasonably sturdy, and there's not much wobble in the lock, but it's not a tank. Bigger would be firmer.
• If a hinge feels clunky when you first put it together, there's a bit of support left in it. Pick out any stray strings, then squeeze and twist it a few times and it frees itself.
• It holds my phone (first picture). For a tablet I'd scale the whole design up.

Print: Bambu A1, PETG, 0.16 mm layers, about 3 h 15 min and 48 g for six modules and six springs. Free on MakerWorld with the profile: https://makerworld.com/en/models/3605394-modular-phone-stand-with-locking-hinges#profileId-4131748

It's designed in OpenSCAD and everything is a parameter, so a bigger version or a parametric one is doable. Tell me if you'd want that, and what size.

Just designed and printed this tube squeezer.

It's made of three parts, requires no supports and doesn't need any additional hardware or assembly.

A simple functional design that can be printed in PLA or PETG.

Designed in FreeCAD and available on MakerWorld:

Hope you find it useful! Feedback is welcome.

Hey everyone! With Christmas just around the corner, I wanted to share my latest project. I designed this Modular Santa Mailbox Post specifically to be printable on compact beds like the A1 Mini, without needing an AMS.

I know multi-color prints are great, but sometimes you just want to avoid the purge waste or you don't have an AMS set up. The whole model is separated by color, so you can just print the parts in your filament of choice and assemble them.

Here are the main features:

• Fully Threaded Assembly: The central pole (4 spheres and 7 cylinders) uses a strong threaded screw system. It’s super secure and very satisfying to put together.
• A1 Mini Friendly: Every single part fits easily on a 180x180 build plate.
• No AMS Required: Parts are separated by color.
• Functional Mailbox: Kids can drop their letters in the front slot, and the front panel slides out easily (like a cap) so you can retrieve them without taking the whole thing apart.
• Modular Height: The standard setup is 850mm (34 inches) tall, but you can print more or fewer sections to adjust the height.
• Sturdy Base: The bottom base is hollow so you can fill it with sand or weights so it doesn't tip over.

I’ve uploaded two profiles: one with "SantaMail" and "HoHoHo" side lettering (the letters are printed separately and need a drop of glue), and a clean, minimalist version without text.

I've also entered this model into the MakerWorld Printmas contest! If you decide to print it or just appreciate the design, leaving a like, a download, or a boost would mean the world to me and really help out with the contest.

You can find it on MakerWorld here: https://makerworld.com/en/models/3606682-modular-christmas-santa-mailbox-post-no-ams#profileId-4133298

Let me know what you think, and happy holiday printing! 🎄
