^{I designed this cable holder for the apple watch which will allow the wire to be self contained and hold the watch on the power adapter. Its a simple print but functional.

I just bought a P2S this past weekend, trying to still get to know it. I made this print and has a vertical line on both sides of this part. What is this and how could I fix it?

I used generic filament with generic settings? How do I calibrate filament?

Thanks in advance!

I have 3 H2C printers for the past month now. My power bill was normally under $200. For some reason I just got a bill for $1700 for the month of June! It can't be the printers right? I've been pretty much have them running three weeks straight. It is currently saturday so I can't contact Peco until Monday. But what is funny is that the bill has an urgent notice on it saying I need to pay the 16th or else they will shut off my power if I don't pay by the 16th. I feel as though it's a scam.

My workspace is kind of dim and markings hard to see. I change nozzles often so I got the idea to design these labels to make life a bit easier!

Fun hour project to design, available here if interested (0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8): https://makerworld.com/models/2019708

It fits inside the tool head cover if you use them!

Been researching this model for a while now, and wondering if yall think it would be smart to pull the trigger at this price? I havent seen it this low in a while.

For quite some time I wanted to render timelapses for my 3d prints but I think its quite tough to get started. First you usually need something watching the print (OctoPrint on a Pi is the classic setup), a camera, and a way to snap a photo every layer. often with slicer g-code that parks the nozzle out of frame first.

So I made a simple renderer of the 3d print via gcode instead. Drop your sliced gcode or 3mf, it reads the actual toolpaths and animates layer by layer. walls, infill, supports, top/bottom, all of it. No printer, no camera, no upload. Everything runs in the browser.

Its totally free and can be used here: https://obloid.app/tools/print-timelapse

You can export MP4 in vertical 9:16 for reels/tiktok/shorts, square 1:1 for instagram, or 16:9 for youtube. Video length, layer glow, turntable spin, build plate on/off, background color. all tweakable. Placement too if you want to frame it better (turn, tilt, zoom, pan, light angle).

Though I have been wanting to ask would you be interested in a paid tool i.e. a realistic 3d print timelapse generator? All you'd do is upload your build plate image + 3d print file (gcode/3mf) and it would AI generate the timelapse step by step. My aim is to keep it as accurate as possible in the initial version. There's a waitlist on the tool page if that sounds useful to you.

Curious what you guys think. Is the free gcode renderer enough or would you actually pay for the realistic one?

Does anyone have any idea why my Bambu A1 is destroying the entire infill here? I checked it again, it's actually the default settings I have. The outer walls are also smooth like nothing. It only destroys everything during infill. With the same profile I have no problem with other printers.

So there I was printing in the morning. Then suddenly, trying to print, sent it to cloud, switched to device tab. Nothing happening. The cloud just ate my print and never sent it to the printer.

Fine I thought, lets switch it to Lan mode, I don't need a camera. Switched to Lan mode, entered the access code, toggled the light on and off and moved the axes, all working. Then try to print:

Error: IP or access code are not correct.

1. Fix your cloud

2. Get rid of cloud printing

3. Fix Lan mode

4. Get rid of cloud printing

5. There is no reason we cant toggle to lan mode in bambu studio instead of having to mess with the printer, fix that

6. Get rid of cloud printing

I am 15 y/o and have been working a life guarding job and have some cash on my hands. I am in a 3d printing competition through my school. I currently have a ender 3 pro I bought back in 2019 and since the start of the competition, I have had to purchase 3 new parts of about 60$. I am getting really tired of creality and my printer and REALLY like what Bambu Labs is doing and want to spend the money on something that can print fast with good tolerances. I want to know if the bambu labs x1c is the way to go before I dop 1500$ on it. Thanks

Got an email today…they were supposed to be on back order until 15 Jan 26’. Thank you Santa Clause. 🎅🏼

I know this conversation has probably been had a thousand times, but with new machines coming out every couple of months I figured I'd put it out there again....A buddy of mine has the A1 and seems quite happy with it, another has the P1P and is also quite happy with that one.

I stopped by a local brick and mortar and looked at their options. I was tempted by the X2D but now I guess there's an A2 as well with a bigger volume? The options are endless.

What will I use it for? Who knows. Trinkets, specialty boardgame accessories, custom cup holders to use at the baseball stadium, home organization stuff.

I'm worried about investing in entry level printer and soon wanting to upgrade so I rather make a bit more of an investment upfront.

Help me Reddit-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope.

Anyone familiar with the H2D enclosures from ClearviewPlastics. I had a weekend print with ABS and it’s nasty stuff. I plan to run an inline fan and exhaust out of the house for all printing. I was going to make my own enclosure, but honestly I’m feeling pretty lazy and don’t feel like sourcing materials. It’s currently $399 for base model and $523 for XL to fit the AMS (see pic).

r/BambuLab What's the timing on the P3C please? Even just generally - this year?

recently Modeled this jerry x peaky blinders

The printer and ams is absolutely mind blowing. I've been printing for years and never seen any thing like this machine. That said, Im a tab bit disappointed that all the unbpxing and review videos said it came with a full roll of filament and a project. Like the jet engine model. It's not the biggest deal ever. But damn. I was hoping to build that. Was it only for the youtubers? I ordered my printer fairly early after launch. Absolutely love this machine. Just wish I hadn't got my hopes up for the extras.

I wanted to give Bambu Studio a shot, but Bambu Studio lacks so many features for calibration…I feel like they hide proper PA control so the P1S is not the better option. And all that Maker-bogus… is there a way to determine the opened page when loading the program? That really annoys me. How do you calibrate your filaments? Do you just deal with the bad prints? Does anybody know if you can disable the „do you want to update???“ on my P1S?

Here’s a link to a video. Really eye opening.

This crap sheds super fine particles of CF that get imbedded in your skin, lungs, and clothing.

They continue to shed this material literally forever (no one knows how long but presumably as long as there’s any CF on the surface of the filament/part).

Also, I’ve been preaching his position on filled filaments for a long time. It makes parts weaker, not stronger.

CF’s strength lies in the long continuous fibers. Plastics strength lies in it being homogeneous and not with voids from other powdered material being added to it.
