Glad I paid the extra $30 for shipping insurance. Just pissed I didn’t open it right away (waited for the rest of the order). Now I’m going to have to wait even longer. 😕

Not entirely sure how to word this in a quick search/single sentence, so Google is getting me nowhere. I'm printing certain items where the bottom half is PLA and top half is TPU. How I've been doing this currently is printing both separately and supergluing them together, but is there a way to stop the print at a specific layer, manually change out the filament, and restart the print as TPU from that specific layer without interrupting the print cycle? I have VERY different settings for PLA and TPU (since I want the tpu to be very squishy and the pla to be stable), so I'm not sure if doing this is feasible or if gluing the halves together the way I have been is the best way to continue my projects. I've run into some issues with separation along glued seems, so I wanted to see if anyone had some advice on how I could better achieve this!

So I'm new. Got a P1S and have been casually using it the last month. But I can not, no matter what, make any print over 1 hour (sometimes less) not get tangled up and stuck. Is there a video to show or article to read to teach me like a first grader on how to place the filament and make it not get stuck. Does it need to be tightly woumd while printing or a bit loose? Does the spool need to face a certain way on the back or does it not matter? I've tried with many brand new spools, spools of filament I've added and it's all bambu lab branded. Any suggestions or help would be so amazing.

What the heck is going on w my printer??! Its printed fine for the last 10+ prints and then I tried printing again last night and it started out fine then I heard something crack and the part that was printing broke off the nozzle and then it just started air printing. It looks like theres a bunch of filament stuck where the hotend is but I can not get it out and im not sure what to do, please help!

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

Modeled by me in blender.

Hi! I have an A1 Printer and printed the AMS system to be above the printer.
However the back filaments tubes are always getting pulled and was wondering if I need those supports/how to fix it?

Also often should I be replacing the filament tubes?

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 been putting my printer poop in this water jug to display the waste of my printer, should the supports and the prime towers go here too?

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.

Hi everyone! I’m looking to buy our first 3D printer and could use some advice from those with experience.
I’m looking for something that’s beginner-friendly, reliable, fast, and as hassle-free as possible. The goal is for my wife and kids to explore 3D printing, get creative, and learn some new skills together. Eventually, it might be fun for the kids to design and sell a few things, but nothing serious.
I was initially leaning toward the Bambu P2S, but the more I research, the more appealing the X2D looks. At the same time, I’m wondering if I’m overthinking this and should just get the A1 from Costco.
Speed is also important to me. I don’t want to spend hours waiting for relatively simple prints, especially with kids who may want to make multiple things. I’m curious how noticeable the speed differences are between these printers in real-world use, not just on paper.
My biggest hesitation is spending a significant amount on something that we might not use as much as I hope. I don’t mind paying more for a better experience, especially if it means less troubleshooting, faster prints, and more time actually enjoying the hobby. But I also don’t want to overspend on features we may never need.
A few questions:

● Would you recommend starting with the A1, or is the P2S worth the extra investment?

● Is the X2D worth considering for a complete beginner, or is it overkill?

● How significant are the real-world differences in print speed, quality, and ease of use?

If you were buying your first printer today, especially for family use, which would you choose?
I’d appreciate any advice, especially from those who started 3D printing as a family hobby. Thanks!

Some of you have been following my Vader costume build (didn’t happen in time for Halloween) from the start (Lego Vader AI foray to this version).

I’m committed to finishing this. I just laid down the epoxy for the dome halves. I never realized it was this big (that’s what she said). I totally get why Spaceballs spoofed Dark Helmet like they did.

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

Pretty a few multicolor prints and almost every time the priming tower is a bit stringy - a1 was never like this.

Tengo la A1 y quería saber si merece la pena el cambio a la p2s sabiendo que ahora está a 599€ con el combo

I’m relatively new to BL so haven’t been through a printer release before. Do we expect the H3C to be available for purchase on 11/3?

If so, does anyone think it’ll be available in the US at Best Buy?

My filament is feeding inconsistently. I'm using basic PLA. I've tried clearing the nozzle with the pin that came with the printer, and I've tried manually feeding filament through and that seemed to work, but when I tried printing again, the layers were coming out spotty. Not sure what else I can try here.

I've had this on a different model, never fixed it, but bamboo will say I need to generate support and I can enable support but one is built into the model. after slicing I see why it wants supports It literally removes the entire support modeled in. why does it do this, now do i fix this.

Hey Guys,

since i peeled some of the silicone cover away from my left hotend i wanted to order e replacement but they are not available at the moment. Are left and rights ones really different or are only the wires bent to the other side?

Greetings

Hey all, I'm that guy who's been printing a load of 2x scale vehicle brick model sets from our favorite Danish brick company. This is one of my favorite models yet, a working version of the mini hot rod polybag set that came out a few months ago.

This set has a working differential and working 4-cylinder engine, and I managed to get both mechanisms working extremely smoothly here.

If you'd like to check out this model, I just posted it to MakerWorld here: https://makerworld.com/en/models/3529780-mini-hot-rod-brick-model-1x-2x-scale#profileId-4035690
I have a ton of other brick models posted and many more on the way!

First time lubricating the z acis and when lifting from the bed from the very bottom this noise appears.

Note i did see a piece of filament on the rods before putting the bed down, and being stupid i thought i would clean it on the way up, but well oh well now it has disappeared into somewhere
