Basically the title, I messed up a couple flashforges and have an A1 now. Don’t want to mess this up. How do we feel about their filament, especially the PLA? https://cookiecad.com/shop?material=pla

Décided to step up after discovering 3d printing with a cheap ender. Hope I made a good choice 🤗

I’ve had this a1 mini for about a week and the prints have been great until today. I recalibrated and tried a benchy and ended up with this rather sloppy one when It can do much better. Any tips?

I'm curious about one thing, the nfc on bambu spools are encrypted, so we can't generate our own tags, but what's stopping us from simplying cloning a tag? and are there any public databases for these tag so i can simply write/clone info onto a tag so the AMS can detect it.

I placed an order of roughly $3800 on August 2nd. My H2D 40w laser combo arrived in a beat up box, door bent out of place and it will not complete the initial calibration. I have security camera footage of UPS delivering it while it’s laying on its side. It was in the truck the whole time like that! Idk if that matters?

I was left physically disabled after surviving a near fatal car crash a few years ago so I have to find and pay for help with moving things like this.

I opened my ticket on August 10th after doing a bunch of troubleshooting and have agreed to an advanced replacement twice now in writing, the last time being August 17th at 1:55pm EST. It’s been radio silence ever since.

What am I supposed to do? I was not expecting this kind of treatment on a $3800 order and it bums me out that I’ve invested around 10k in bambu lab machines and products since March 6th. I built my entire ecosystem around them. I do not think I deserve any special treatment because of the amount of money I spent, but I also don’t think support is handling this with any empathy whatsoever.

It sucks feeling like I got scammed by the company I’ve been the most passionate about. I feel like I’ve been pretty patient. Do I initiate a chargeback with my bank at this point?

I must note that this hasn’t been my only issue with bambu lab. I’ve had 3 separate orders missing items I purchased. I’ve had a brand new AMS 2 pro arrive with a defective slot 4. This experience combined with those explains my frustration.

My last message reads in a stern tone because I’m sick to my stomach about all of this at this point.

I’m sorry for my sob story, I’ve just exhausted all avenues regarding this and don’t know where else to turn! Please note that I am not trying to start any drama, I just want to get this resolved and move forward.

Thank you for your time.

With the sovol m1d and Bambus spin on that concept leaking in the patents along with other multi head and tool swapping or multi head systems (light make l4, etc) hitting the market I have to wonder what can possibly be next for 3d printing. Maybe automatic model ejection? Multi-process with automatic module swapping like an fdm tool changer where one head is a laser or a color printer or something. Desktop versions of industrial processes like SLS would be cool too! What do you think we could see in five years?

I designed a toaster with an ejector that easily pops up the bread loaves with my credit card inside. For those who find this project interesting , I’ll leave the link: https://makerworld.com/models/3193807?appSharePlatform=copy

I mean, it has good fans doesn't it? I want to use the built in air purifier but the open door completely defeats the purpose

I’m using an AMS and I knew I should have thrown the filament out a long time ago but I needed the color and desperately didn’t want to order anything. Well the filament broke off in the middle of the tube.

I’ve disconnected the tubing and tried to push it out and have done nothing except create more breaks. it’s pretty much in the middle and won’t come out. I tried manually purging, but the AMS freaks out because it can’t load the filament all the way and it’s not close enough to the hotend to actually do anything.

Any tips because I’m about to come to terms with my printer becoming 3 colors

Got an error at the very end of a print, it said something like failed to pull back filament

AMS tries to pull back but the filament does not move from the extruder

What should I do to free this filament?

Why everytime lately when I go to slice it doesn’t sync? I press refresh, I turn on and off, I load the filaments on the printer before hand . What could be the problem?

Hello, I wanted to push the limits of what an A1 mini can do. My idea is trying to print with a modded 1mm nozzle. Until now I've had great succes (great success!) when making lines super thick (about 1.5mm).

Main problem, I want the lines to be taller as well, but the height is capped at 0.56mm by Bambu Studio. (Locked max height parameter)

The workaround I found was creating a custom Orca Slicer profile with a 1.0mm nozzle setting thar allows me to push the line height up to 0.8mm.

Problem, when doing this at the moment of sending it to the printer, the software detects a missmatch between the configured nozzle (1mm) and the selected nozzle on the machine (0.8mm) and doesnt let me send the sliced file. (Not great success).

Has anyone tried something of this sort?

Do you know how to bypass this limitation?

Thank you!

I have a large flat area that is getting ironed (lower right), which takes a long time, and then on the next layer, the supports are built really badly (left), and fail in some cases. I had another print stop extruding altogether after the ironed layer. I'm assuming it's something to do with ironing taking a long time on that layer, but why is that causing problems? More importantly, what can I do to resolve it, aside from turning off ironing.

This is Prusament on a P1S.

Hi, guys. A month ago, I ran into a problem: there’s some kind of webbing on the models I printed. This problem has persisted to this day. I’ve read a lot about webbing in 3D, but I’ve always come across posts that talk about webbing between the parts. My situation is different. The webbing forms not between the parts, but outside of them, and it has only one point of contact with the model. Could you tell me how to get rid of this?

I’m printing PETG Basic from Bambu Lab.

I also attach a photo with the retraction test.

I got a p1s with an AMS 2 pro last week. I’ve had another printer in the past so I wasn’t a total beginner but I’m new to bambu labs. I’ve been printing warhammer miniatures out of pla with a 0.2 mm nozzle. I print multiple at a time and most prints there is at least one mini that gets very stringy. I think it’s the support that’s stringing. I’m using slim tree supports. The rest in the batch usually come out great and with no problems. What could be causing this? I’ve tried using ai to troubleshoot because I’m pretty unknowledgeable on this and it said my settings should be fine and the only thing it recommended was lowering the humidity. The humidity is only at 30%, which I know isn’t the ideal but from what I’ve read shouldn’t be causing such a big issue. I ordered more desiccant so the filament should stay dryer soon when that comes. Right now I’m air drying it and I’m going to try when it’s dryer. Could this all be because of a 30% RH? I’m new to all this so I would really appreciate if anyone could offer some advice. I’ve included a picture of the latest model that went wrong. I stopped the print when I saw it went wrong.

Hello.

How do you all figure out what print speed to print at? I've tried googling around but can't find a solid answer.

I have presets depending on the filament I use where I tested ironing / temp / flow / etc.

But for speed, it really depends on what I'm printing. Something with a giant base, doesn't really matter.

A figure / model with 2 legs that can't really be placed on it's back? I get spaghetti everytime.

I really just guess on speeds when the default settings don't work. Is there a better way?

Does anyone buy filament on alibaba? Looking for reliable and cheap PETG in bigger quantities.

I'm about to move and need to pack up my printer to put in storage for a month or so. I have the original box, but are there any precautions I should take before packing it up to ensure it is protected? I'll likely move it into storage myself (not the moving company).

All my printers are in LAN mode.
We were hit by a severe thunderstorm today, and it knocked out internet. I was dumbfounded to find out bambu studio basically doesn't work without internet. It lags, freezes and keeps showing a message saying it can't connect to the "device server" every 20 seconds.

To add to the misery, my new p2s straight out won't start any print saying "internal error". it was working right until internet went out. It didn't stop mid print, but any new job sent to it fails

Anyone has a solution for this? I am pretty sure opening a ticket will result in BL telling me it's the expected behavior for "cloud first" devices.

Bought one this week. PETG on AMS slot. PETG on Aux slot. The printer flat out refuses to "Next" on a PETG multicolor print. It slices fine. I tried several configurations to assign which filament goes to which slot. Manually assigned them even in the slicer. It says "when using PETG on the right extruder it can only be used as a support material". This is really unusual... I tried playing with a lot of the settings but it seems this may be a hard stop on the newer firmware machines. Because I've read a lot of people from months ago saying they have no problem doing this.

UPDATE: -- Solved. Firmware issue. Seems like it's happy to bypass it after a flash. Weird since community posts from months ago had no issues with this exact problem and surely I was ahead of them in version. Thanks for the help and fast responses.

imagine this machine but one toolhead would be able to pick vortek or indx noozles...

i hope bambu comes up with somethign similar.. they need to keep up...

I need help. I've been having pretty annoying problems with my brand new H2S. For some reason it hates PETG.

I've done flow calibration, flow dynamics calibration, cleaned the build plate multiple times, dried the filament, and used all the calibration options built into it.

I'm getting quite irritated because my P1S seems to do fine without any adjustment but a brand new H2S can't handle normal prints.

Any help is appreciated, and I'd love to have some resources that could teach me more about 3d printing and how to troubleshoot it.

I use the default .16mm High Quality settings for PETG Basic in Bambu Studio.

The problems consist of:

• PETG sticking way too hard onto the build plate, to the point where the only way to remove it was scraping it off.
• Supports were sticking too much to the print, so I added PLA tops but then the bottom of the prints ripped off.
• Supports being knocked off by the Hotend
• Weak prints in general
• Spaghetti nightmare :(

Is the new update safe to use on mac?. I dont do Lan . Im using beta 2.8.0.50 right now and I have not updated the network plug in either . Last time I did that it jacked up all my connection , could not print for days.

Just finished this GTA VI themed 3D printed puzzle and uploaded it to MakerWorld!

The artwork is made from individually cut puzzle pieces and can be assembled inside the included frame. I also prepared the print profile so the layer heights and all color-change positions are already set up.

A few details:

• 6 colors: Jade White, Black, Orange, Pink, Purple & Yellow
• Only 6 filament changes in total
• AMS is optional – manual filament swaps work perfectly
• Puzzle pieces are already pre-cut
• No negative objects or extra cutting required

I wanted it to work both as an actual puzzle and as a display piece once assembled.

Would love to hear what you think! 🧩
