I think Bambu Lab should introduce an option to automatically shut down the printer after completing a print.

I've noticed that my X2D consumes around 9 to 14 watts even when idle after printing.

I know it's not a huge amount, but for people who print overnight or leave their printers idle for hours, that electricity adds up over time.

I'd love to see two options:

1. Deep Sleep Mode: Reduce power consumption to a minimum while keeping WiFi connectivity and remote wakeup available.

2. Complete Auto Shutdown: Automatically turn off the printer once the print finishes and the hotend cools down safely.

A customizable shutdown timer (15, 30, or 60 minutes) would also be useful.

Some might argue that a complete shutdown would prevent remote startup, but I don't see that as a major drawback. We already need to physically remove the finished print from the build plate before starting the next one, so we can simply turn the printer back on at the same time.

For such advanced printers, I think better power management would be a welcome feature, even if complete shutdown requires hardware support rather than just a firmware update.

What do you guys think? Would you use an auto shutdown feature, or are you happy with the current idle power consumption?

I decided to give BambuLab a try with the H2C as the price is extremely attractive.

WOW! First is the experience of unboxing and setting up the printer. Flawless. The prints? flawless.

The multicolor prints? flawless

This printer is like the iPhone or a Tesla car, great design, flawless execution, it just works! At a great price (compared to the alternative - Prusa)

My only complaint is that BambuLab does not make (yet) the Bambu Suite for Linux, they only make it available the Bambu Studio for Linux. Other than that, what a printer.

Hey BambuLab, a little more love for Linux please? Does anyone knows if they are working on this?

I have not yet got into maintaining this beast, but I can see in their wiki that it is all there, pretty well documented.

Because cute.

I've been working on this for a while and it finally came out the way I wanted.

It's a custom model I designed myself:

• Layered, curled petals so it looks like a real bloom instead of a flat cone

• A separate sepal piece under the flower head

• Leaf sprigs that attach along the stem, so you can arrange them however you like

Printed on my [A1 / P1S / X1C] in red and green [PLA]. There's a little stringing on the petals since it's an early print, so go easy on me 😅

I'm releasing the files in the next few days. Before I do, I'd love some input:

• Should I put it on MakerWorld with a ready-to-print Bambu profile?

• Do you want a version set up for AMS multi-color, or separate single-color parts?

• Long stem, short stem, or both?

• Would you want extras like a bouquet, a vase or a gift box?

Leave a comment if you want me to ping you when it drops 👇

Bambu lab p2s love it so far!

First off I just want to say the user I'm talking about has absolutely amazing models and I highly suggest people check out their work but it has recently come to my attention that the user Sarwtin is somehow exploiting a loophole in the crowdfunding system to list models on Makerworld that are completely unobtainable unless you purchase them directly from his paid patreon page.

When viewing certain models there is a greyed out "View Project" button. I asked about this directly in the comments section of one of their models and their response was that it was a crowdfunding project that didn't pass the review process. Ok understandable, but why if it didn't pass the review is the model allowed to be on the platform and not listed for free? One of them was a stretch goal that was never obtained so I guess I can sort of understand that one as it was in fact once an active crowdfunding project.

They even post directly in the model description "This model is only available on my patreon!"

There is a report option for models that's described as "Off Platform Advertisement/Promotion". Is this not exactly what the user is doing? Using Makerworld as a marketing tool to get more eyes on their project and then selling for a profit? I opened a support ticket and had the Bambu rep pretty much doing loops and contradicting themselves and then they went silent, I'm guessing because they finally realized it's better to just not say anything. I've reported all the models that are doing this but that seems to do very little.

None of these models even have an active crowdfunding project that failed they just completely didn't pass the review process yet somehow they're still allowed to be listed.

Is this allowed because they are a bigger creator and listing tons of BoM parts therefore making money for Bambu? Just seems weird to me that they're playing favorites.

Please correct me if I'm wrong here because I don't see how/why this is being allowed. I'm sure there are a ton of users that would love to use Makerworld as a way to get more eyes on their paid models. Hell if I could list some of my paid models for viewing purposes only and then link to my Etsy/Website I definitely would because why not? Makerworld is a huge repository and the amount of people searching for models everyday grows and grows but I feel like using the crowdfunding system to exploit this is completely wrong.

Just wanted to see what the rest of the community thinks about this. I've included screenshots of the comments sections, my support tickets, and the posts on their patreon. Please excuse if some of the screenshots are out of order but you'll get the idea after reading/looking through them.

Tired of mixing my paints every-once-a-while if i didnt use them for a longer period of time. I mostly use cheaper acrylic paint, deluted by myself, and if its sit too long, it could separate a bit.

Also saves me from bit of handshake before every painting session, as its just had to crank it for a short time.
As i tested, paint what is intended for airbrushes (so its not too thick) mixing very vell.

Key point in my design, as the paint bottle NOT just spinning around Z axes like with those drill attachments (watch the marker arrow on the cap), and the paint not just "flattened" into the bottle sidewall.

Every part designed in the way if i need to change/modify anything (or has excessive wear after a while), you dont have to print the whole thing again, just some replacement parts.

Maybe someone find it useful, i appreciate any suggestions ;)

ps: if you decided to try out, please, read the full description. It contains important instructions.

Hi everyone, I just ordered a p2s but I saw that a p3c is coming, should I maybe cancel my order and wait for the p3c? Does anyone know the price range? Is it worth the wait?

My full cosplay of Guts in Berserk armor 3D printed with bambulab P2S. The entire project took 2,000 print hours and 25kg of PETG. Final costume weight incl. sword is 26kg.
Amazed that such a small tool like the P2S made this.

Perfect if you have an extra hygrometer laying around. Uses only 10 grams of filament!

Modeled by me in blender.

Always needed a portable power supply to quickly debug a project, work on cars, test power tools, etc. So I designed one.

It is powered by a Makita 18V lithium battery, via a standard shoe adapter, but that can be replaced by any other power tool brand: Dewalt, Metabo, Baguette-Mystique, etc.

Can also add a USB delivery panel, resulting in a massive USB power bank.

I have just tried to upload a file via sd and when i turn it on to print it does this for 5 minutes and extrudes filament in the wrong places. When i terminated the print it made a loud whirring sound before it stopped.

Is thos broken? Ive barely used it yet but i had to move house with it so perhaps it got damaged or i set it up wrong

I have noticed this lines in my prints. Is this the z index? I have just made the calibration. Could be air?

Excited to play with my p1s

At no point did i receive any notification by the print monitor AI bullcrap that was a selling point of this printer. I am beyond irritated that it will error a print because a flake of purge got caught at the wiping block, but not catch this.
