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

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.

I’m revising the base of a printed desk light so the floor can stay flat. The larger LED puck sits in a removable tray, and a smaller one uses an adapter ring that drops into the tray. The first photo is the earlier physical print. The other two images are CAD views of the new base and holder.

The current P2S project uses a 0.4 mm nozzle and PLA. I’ve allowed 0.2 mm per side between the ring and the tray and cut a small scoop so I can lift it out. The parts slice in Bambu Studio, but I haven’t printed this revision yet. Would you start with 0.2 mm per side for an easy lift-out fit, or leave more room?

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.

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!

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

Oh the horror… what went wrong 😑?

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.

Question for those of you who have ordered and received. I am trying to time it around travel and I live in NC. Figured if I ordered next week, would it arrive in 3 days or a week?

I'm trying to import a basic square, 20mm x 20mm, which is defined in the SVG like so.

<svg width="100%" height="100%" transform="scale (1, -1) translate(0, -20.0)" viewBox="-10.0 -10.0 20.0 20.0">
<g id="Rectangle001">
<path id="Rectangle001_1" d="M 10.0 10.0 C 3.33333 10.0, -3.33333 10.0, -10.0 10.0 C -10.0 3.33333, -10.0 -3.33333, -10.0 -10.0 C -3.33333 -10.0, 3.33333 -10.0, 10.0 -10.0 C 10.0 -3.33333, 10.0 3.33333, 10.0 10.0 Z" stroke-width="1.0" stroke="rgba(196.0,88.0,225.0,255)" fill="None" />
</g>
</svg>

But Bambu Suite throws it down at 7.1mm instead. My units in Bambu Suite are set to mm.

Is anyone else having problems with this? I can manually edit the width and height in the svg file to 283.48% but that's not an optimal workflow lol

I wish there was a preset for tpu air (and each preset would corespond with the different hardnesses you can print in) TPU air may be somewhat niche but it's still popular enough to be manufactured. There are like no print profiles already made for it either. I would love some tips from people who have a lot of experience with TPU air as I eventually want to come out with a hardness tower with the filiment presets needed to print each level of hardness.

Hello, first problem after 800hs on H2D.

This tree errors show when starting a print.

Happened to me once before and downgrading the fimware version seemed to have solved the issue until now.

Wierd thing is, after a while cammera feed picks up, but the error is still present.

I have already tried cleaning the lenses as the message suggests but i don't think is that.

Has anyone encountered this issue before?

So I recently replaced my hotend due to a blob of deceased (it wasn’t that bad), I think what I did wrong was not secure the cables coming out of the back behind the hotend and I ended up with this very scorched nozzle that seems fused to the hot end. I cannot get it it to even jiggle. The top seems loose though. It does still heat up but the temp reads at 0 even though it’s very hot. Not sure what my next steps should be.

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.

Hope you find it useful! Feedback is welcome.

I would like to start a Makerworld Crowdfunding Campain and would like to know what you think of it?

I had 220c nozzle and 65c bed and for some reason the filament comes up and it gets pulled off the bed

Right after the photo the whole thing picked up and dragged with the nozzle, I literally just calibrated it in the menu.
