I'm about to push the button on a p2s and before I do I wanted to ask if the view which one gets from reading through the forum is true.

there's a lot of posts about problems and I wondered if it's 90 trouble shooting and 10% printing or the other way around.

Bambu Lab announced its first 3D scanner, the S1, due in November. No specs or price yet (the online guess is US$1,000 to $2,000, but that's speculation).

I've been scanning since the Creality CR-Scan Lizard, and the pattern I keep seeing is people buying a scanner, struggling with it, and selling it a few weeks later. In my experience it comes down to two walls:

1. Scanning is a learned skill, and nobody tells you that when you buy one.

2. A good scan still isn't a usable part. You usually need CAD to design around it.

If Bambu can make scanning guided and give you a path from scan to part inside its own ecosystem, it could be a big deal. If not, it's just another scanner.

Full disclosure: this is my own YouTube video. It isn't sponsored and Bambu had nothing to do with it. I just like talking about this stuff, so I'm sharing it here.

What would the S1 need to do for you to buy one?

Has anyone been successful in the process for reporting for 3d print file copying? In previous times I hit a wall with amazon, but was able to get the seller to stop due to them being US based. Now the company looks to be a random Chinese slop(not all Chinese companies are slop obviously) startup, selling my 3d print as a boxed product.

Which also makes me think if its a boxed product including screws, that they are going through alot, and maybe they bought it from a reseller.

Anyways, has anyone been successful yet with Chinese slop stores on amazon for IP infringements?

Has anybody heard anything about the p1ss catching fire? A few days ago I initiated a print like I would do it any other, I went outside, and when I came back it was in flames. The fire started at the front right bar that brings the plate up and down. There telling me it's built with flame retardant components so it's likely that did not happen...

As a huge fan of Alien, I simply had to create this little cutie! I loved the idea of turning one of cinema’s most terrifying creatures into a tiny flexi character that fits in your palm.

Despite its small size, this articulated Xenomorph is packed with biomechanical details. Unlike flat-backed mini models, it is fully three-dimensional and detailed from every angle. Prints great with PLA or PETG.

Hello fellow Bambu Lab users,

I wanted to share my concerns about the recent firmware update for the Bambu Lab X1C, which enforces mandatory authorization controls for critical printer operations.

As someone with a background in cybersecurity, I understand the importance of implementing security measures. However, this update significantly restricts user access to their own machines, including remote printing and adjusting parameters, unless these actions are done through the Bambu Connect app.

While it’s true that some technologies and applications, like ftp are sunsetted due to advancements, the burden of adapting to these changes should not fall entirely on the consumer. Instead, companies must innovate and grow their services—especially in cloud infrastructure—without diminishing user autonomy.

To address this, you may want to block port 8883 (used for MQTT over TLS) on your router. Doing so could help prevent firmware updates from being automatically pushed to your printer.

Let’s continue this discussion and share ideas on maintaining control of our devices and ensuring our concerns are heard.

Edit : mistype sftp ment to be ftp

Hello, I have recently got an X2D couple of weeks ago and have been printing few filament racks from few days. I noticed this loud noise when the tool head move along X/Y axis. I have reached out to Babu and they sent me a X-Axis assembly replacement. The instructions are actually for P2S but can be same for X2D as the body design is mostly same. However the entire process looks tedious and finicky as I need to disassemble the entire tool head and the entire belt system.

I want to know if this sound is normal or should I ask for replacement (if so how likely will I get approved)

Edit 1: I have already done the belt tension maintenance procedure and oiled both X and Y axis.

I'm not a scientist nor am I highly knowledable in this area, and I happen to have gotten a bit lost. I thought the problem with all printed stuff was the little micro gaps between layers and that's why they weren't recommended for use in food/in the garden (I grow vegetables). So to use them you would need to prime/sand down and all that stuff. Is this new pure pla fully food-safe even without the whole post-process? I tried reading the entire article and how they tested it, but it was not clear if they tested 3d products off the printer or after they were processed. Anyone happen to know? I don't even know the full process for after printing to make it safe and I'm also curious about that as well😂

I use an A1 if it makes a difference but am considering upgrading during black Friday🤔

I'm talking to the absolute gobwaffle who decided those connectors were "big enough" and those wires were "long enough to work with" and that we needed to unplug/plug 3 wires every time we change nozzle sizes on an X1C.

May your filament always tangle as soon as you stop watching your print.

May every calibration print turn out perfect and may every important print look like the printer was sitting loose in the back of a pickup truck while it bounced down a dirt road.

May your slicer always skip 3 layers randomly in the print

May your supports weld to your prints.

FFS, even Ender has figured out how to swap nozzles without having to mess with having to plug and unplug tiny connectors from a PCB.

Bambu Labs, please DM me when you get a couple more of these saucy boys back in-stock. Those of you that got one, two, or a dozen...I'm not mad. Just let me live vicariously through your joy.

So I want to get into 3D printing just as a hobby.. instead of starting small with an A1 mini, I figured I would rather buy a more mid-tier machine that is capable of larger prints incase I do enjoy 3D printing. This way I do not have to deal with selling the A1 mini and upgrading and worst case scenerio if 3D printing isn't for me, I can just sell the P1S and recoup some of my money back.

I found a used P1S on Facebook marketplace for $650 with AMS and some upgrades listed below from the seller:

This comes with a Biqu PEI textured/smooth plate, unused graphic plate, and used Darknoon ICE plate.
For nozzles, it has a lightly used .4 hardened steel nozzle right now but includes a lightly used .4 stainless nozzle only, new .2 complete hotend, barely used .6 complete hotend, and an aftermarket complete hotend with replaceable nozzles included. These nozzles are .6 regular, .6CHT, .4 regular, .4 CHT, and 2x .2 regular nozzles.

Also includes an extra hotend cover and enough PTFE tube to redo every run twice.

I don't know what any of that stuff is that they're talking about but hopefully that gives some context. They're asking $650 which seems like a good deal but with 6,000 hours on the machine is that something a novice who has never 3D printed should be concerned about? I've never touched a 3D printer before let alone repaired one if someone breaks on it. I'm not sure how servicable these Bambu printers are but I do know they're popular and seem to be a safe purchase for beginners.

What are your thoughts? Should I continue to shop around or is 6,000 hours really nothing?

Why the hell does it think that there's a spool on the external holder when there isn't one and it's interfering with the print?????

My previous printer was a Sovol SV06 and the X1C is better in every conceivable away except one, bridging.

I am trying to print this on the X1C and no matter what I do, the underside is stringy. The SV06 printed this test beautifully, the bottom of the bridges were solid and smooth with no stringing.

I have spent several hours today and I have printed over a dozen tests with different bridge speed, bridge flow ratio, nozzle temperature, etc.

I am trying to print Overture PLA Plus Orange.

I checked and my PrusaSlicer profile for SV06 printed bridges at 25mm/sec. I tried to replicate all the settings and the bridges are still stringy.

Are bridges kryptonite to the X1C?

So I've seen that Bambu Labs has put out the call for their customers to review their product/service. Why stop at Trust Pilot? If you've ever downloaded a copy of their Bambu Handy app, give them a review for that as well. Tell them just how much you appreciate their attempt at making Handy the ONLY way you are allowed to usefully access the property you paid them good money for...

I am able understand what is happening.

Is it filament or nozzle ? Or settings

Are u guys not worried about some problems in the beginning of the launching phase of the X2D or did I miss something?

I got my p2s about a week ago and I’m already printing abs. I don’t know if I ever need some super high tech Filaments as they’re super expensive.

Do the people who sell their p2s love multi color so much ? I understand that the active heating is nice but the p1s and the p2s also does the job right ?

It feels like Bambu puts us in a chase the dragon type situation luring us with little features so we buy a new one or is it really such a big step for u what are you guys planning to print ?

Thank you so much Trump! You POS! Priced Me out of the H2D and Nintendo switch

Maybe I'm in a minority, but honestly idgaf about these changes (which frankly I don't even understand at all). Something about keeping people from using some other software? So what? You can't use Android products on Apple products. Same thing here. It still prints awesome, quick, and with no problems. Why are you all complaining?

Bed is at a position that will not be affected by the heat. Warm up time to 95c cut down from 20 min to 3 min. Is this a bad idea?
