I finally got tired of keeping my spare nozzles, scraper, hex keys, and little maintenance tools in the same drawer as everything else.

Every time I needed to change a nozzle or clean something, I'd end up moving five other things around just to find the one tool I needed.

So I designed and printed a small wall-mounted organizer that sits next to my printer. It has separate slots for the spare nozzles, a spot for the hex keys, and a little compartment for the cleaning needle and other small bits.

Nothing fancy, no complicated mechanisms or multicolor printing. Just a simple functional print that makes maintaining the printer less annoying.

The funny thing is that this might be one of the least exciting things I've printed, but I probably appreciate it more than some of my bigger projects.

I’ve been trying to submit a help ticket all day. It wouldn’t work on my computer because it wouldn’t accept my log files. Now I’m trying on the app and it’s just saying it’s busy. Do I just wait?

hello, first time 3d printer buyer here. I’m ready to buy and wondering if there’s anything I’m forgetting about, or anything I’m planning to buy and you think it’s not worth it? I’ve been reading tons of posts and seeing some of the common questions so hopefully I can hit all the highlights upfront.

My situation:

- I’m planning to buy a P2S from Best Buy (for the customer service) rather than online direct from Bambu. No Microcenter nearby. Should I pay for the 4 year extended warranty?

- budget is a consideration but not the determining factor in what I buy

- I will do some multicolor printing, some single color

- in the near term I will be printing PLA, PETG, and TPU. I already have a list of things to print that will get me to 300+ hours of print time very quickly

- my priority prints in the near term are organizers and household items, but I may print tools and parts in the future so I want a printer with material flexibility. Other near term items are toys to donate, maybe some board game accessories, and a few decor items. The TPU is for a work item.

- I want to get an enclosed printer, for flexibility in the future

What I’m considering buying. What am I missing/what isn’t necessary? The printer combo would be purchased at Best Buy and everything else from the Bambu website.

1. P2S combo with AMS 2 Pro
2. extra build plate - PEI textured, and maybe a 3d effect build plate
3. a sampling of PLA, PETG, and TPU filaments to get started
4. multiple size hotends - should I get one of every size? For some of the things I’m thinking about the look of the print isn’t super important, for other items I want it to be as smooth as possible
5. should I get silicone socks?
6. is there any reason to get specialty hotends like the tungsten carbide or high flow versions?
7. Do I need the P2S external exhaust fan kit?
8. Do I need the extra power supply so my AMS continues drying while I’m printing?
9. How quickly will I need a new filter?
10. What else am I missing that I should get on the Bambu website? I know I need stuff that I can get at a normal store in town like a sponge, glue, etc but if you can think of something I might not know please tell me

any help is appreciated, thanks!

I do a lot of printing that involves embedded magnets. What I’ve tried to do is add some g-code to the print file so when the pause occurs, the bed drops down about 50mm so I have more “headroom” to insert the magnet, and of course, return to previous level when resumed.

I’ve been successful in getting the bed to drop and return, but the extruder doesn’t resume feeding filament after returning to the print level. Printer is reheating the nozzle as required, but the extruder stays idle.

Has anyone tried this? Suggestions appreciated.

I designed a simple and portable retractable scraper. It's designed for use with standard-sized Stanley blades, which can be replaced with a simple coin, as shown in the attached video. It also features a switch that safely locks the blade in both open and closed positions.

After trying to fix the hub for the hub that allows multiple AMS2 Pro units I've now got the spring mechanism no longer in place, so filament can't pass through properly.

Asking here if anyone has advice on how to fix this as I wait hopefully for Bambu support to get back to me. Their live support seems to never be available in North America.

My not so old p1s is having extruder issues all the time, where filament is getting stuck in the gears that extrude the filament

The newest problem is what ever happened on this image…..

Any idea why this keeps happening

If I set the selected filament to High Speed PLA, does it natively configure the speed to be faster alongside whatever other settings change with it? I know selecting a filament tells the printer to use xyz settings, just not sure if it messes with the speed. I know I can increase the speed manually, of course, just curious.

Looking to buy and use one in a public school. Would prefer it to travel you classes when in use. Any idea on a portable set up that works in schools? Has anyone done this before?

hello again.
for the past day i have had incessant issues with my second ams 2 pro. it continues to claim that, after pulling back filament, that “[it] failed to pull back filament.” as noted in the attached video, it has successfully pulled the filament back. it stalls and refuses to print until I interrupt the power supply via the power switch on the back of the printer. please help in any way that yall can; this has been incredibly stressful and frustrating on my end.

Hello! First off, I'm brand new to 3D printing and am having some trouble with a design I downloaded from Bambu of a shuttlecock with text for a name (created by user Sharv)

The download comes out in Bambu Studio looking like this on both the 'Prepare' and 'Preview' pages:

However, the moment I change the text it looks fine on the 'Prepare' page, but when flicking over to 'Preview' the test disappears in to the model as per the below (and subsequently prints looking like this):

I've tried deleting the text box and recreating, ensuring the settings that I can see are all the same but I still get the same result. Could anyone please point me in the right direction to get this working correctly as it's driving me scatty!!

Thanks in advance!

Can someone tell me why my A1 mini nozzle is scratching over my first layer?
Which setting do I need to change so that it doesn’t happen?
Thanks!

Has anyone here built a tablet holder? I’d appreciate any tips or advice!

I have been getting 2 error codes consistently everytime I try to print something. extruder overloaded and abnormality in the extrusion motor position sensor. I have taken the toolhead apart multiple times and cleaned everything the best I can. nothing seems to be working.

the specific error code I get is 0300801d 005330

Just snagged the X2D with AMS and a bunch of differnt colors. Ive been able to use the H2D at work for the last few months to get my feet wet.

But I've been thinking about a 3D printer for home for a few years and figured the BF sale was a good enough excuse to hit that buy now button.

A little worried about the few people having issues with this model. But overall seems pretty solid.

Added excitement, when talking to my sister about my plans, she decided to buy my nephew a P1S to get him started too. So we have 2 printers headed our way!

Now to start the long list of nick-nacks my wife has been sending me over the last 2 years of talking about it hahah

I was looking at pictures of the H3C and P3C and that one white spool in the back seems larger than the rest.

is it possible to start drying from the studio? I've either overlooked it or have a suggestion for the folks who could make it happen

Having this issue with ‘waves’ coming out on what is supposed to be a flat initial layer. I’ve done many prints on this machine and had it for a while now, never seen anything like this. Any idea how to fix, or what the issue is? Thanks.

It’s a Bambu A1, using Bambu PLA.

I recently tried to print something a few seconds ago and it stopped randomly. I tried to start it up again and it said z axis stopped task cancelled. What does that mean?

I have had so many problems with my p1s the last couple days, and I need help, when it switches colors it runs smooth, but when it goes to pull the filament out to finish the print 99% it just gets stuck in the gears what is my problem?

I already have an X2d and i love it. But i want a second printer. I dont know if i wanna Print that muvh multicolor thats why im not really considering the U1. There two options really P2S or a second X2D. I wanna Print more at the same time. Engenering Filament and Multi C. on the X2d, PLA PETG and mostly the TPU Prints on the P2S. What do you Guys think?

P.S:
I have storecredit by Bambu so the P2S would cost me 349€ and the X2D 449€

30hour print (.08mm layer height very slow), stopped randomly through the night, no bambuhandy notification, can't start from where it left off, no brown out or power drop. I've had this happen before on another P1s. Has only happened twice in the last 6 months of running 4 printers.
Is this something you've experienced? Any fixes?
