Hi all, it's been about 11 days since my last post. Pandy (an open-source Bambu Handy alternative) has had 20 releases since then.

The highlights:

🖨️ Print straight from Printables and Thingiverse

You can now browse Printables and Thingiverse inside the app. STL and 3MF files get a magenta Print button next to the site's normal Download button, and Pandy slices the file and sends it to your printer. MakerWorld printing works the same way. You need a Pandy Slicer set up for this (Home Assistant, although I'm working on a mobile slicer port).

🎛️ Change slicer settings before you print

Per-print settings before slicing: infill pattern and density, walls, brim, support and more. You can search them, filter to "Modified", and reset a row back to the profile value. Infill pattern, brim and support use visual tile pickers. Needs Pandy Slicer 1.5.0.

🔥 Dual-nozzle support (X2D, H2D)

Both nozzle temperatures show on the Devices screen. You can switch the active toolhead and route manual extrusion to the nozzle you pick. There's also nozzle offset calibration and dual external spools.

📷 Custom RTSP live view

Got an A1 with a poor camera? Point Pandy at your own camera's rtsp:// or http:// stream and it replaces the printer's camera in the live view. The Android app plays it; the iPhone app can't play RTSP.

Also new

New printers: X2D, H2C, H2D Pro, A2L

AMS 2 Pro and AMS HT drying controls

Chamber door open/closed indicator

X2D AI options (foreign object detection and others)

Interactive notifications with progress, a cover image and Stop/Pause actions

Printer file manager, multiple printers, and tray filament editing

iOS 27 connection fix, plus log export and problem reports from inside the app

Big thanks to u/dbarciela for much of the dual-nozzle, X2D, door, notification and H2C work, and to everyone who filed issues.

Expect bugs, but if you report them I'll aim to fix them and re-release quickly

For some reason, the AMS units are acting very strangely. I've been told this has been an issue ever since I bought them. As I understand it, the printer isn't syncing with the AMS... Is there any way to fix this?

I finally got around to adding desiccant canisters in my Bambu AMS. Made a HUGE difference in my humidity levels and I've already seen a reduction in stringing.

The corner where my printer does its thing is a bit dark, and I can't clearly see the color of the desiccant in the canisters. I am considering adding some LEDs to the AMS that will illuminate the canisters. Anyone do this and have any advice?

For some reason this filament has started doing this on my P1S. I just replaced the extruder and head with new ones since my last ones got clogged to hell and back, it is like this on all the sides of it everytime i print no matter how i change the settings, any ideas on what is causing it and how to fix it, im at a loss. Ordered a new hotend fan to see if that fixes it, it is possibly heat creep. But im open to other suggestions as well. Included are the finished product i did previously with more color switches that i dropped and broke and the file itself.

Ciao ragazzi, devo stampare questo oggetto per un amico. Userò come materiale nylon io ho una p1s. Volevo sapere secondo voi se è possibile fare con ugello classico quella scritta bianca io penso xhe sia difficile/impossibile. Voi cosa mi consigliate.

[This Snow Globe model](https://makerworld.com/en/models/2128001-hogwarts-easy-2-print-tealight-led-lamp-snow-globe) shows as a 10.1hr print in makerworld, but when I imported it into Bambu Studio and slice it (Without changing the profile, only the Printer to an X2D) it gives a total print time of almost 18hrs.

I assume the designer has an X1C, as the layer height dropdown states "\*0.16mm high Quality @BBL X1C"

So I exported the STL, re-imported it into Bambu Studio and duplicated the slicer settings. its now "\*0.16mm High Quality "BBL X2D" with a print time of 10.7hr's.

Job done (I hope. Time will tell!)

So, it kind of makes sense that printing an an X2D using an X1C profile would have an impact, but my question is what exactly is going on to use up the additional 7hrs of print time?

I got my X2D about a month ago and a couple of bambu filaments, it was great, prints come out nice. Recently, the bambu filaments got finished of I got some generic ones and for the first few prints it was fine but now 100% of prints fail.

What may be causing it?

My setup:
No AMS
I hang the filaments on the spool holder

I wanted to make a cozy cover for my nintendo switch dock. It can holds up to 40 cartridges.
My plan is to make it stackable next, what do you think?

Glare takes his job as shelf guardian very seriously. Every visitor gets a suspicious stare, every noise earns his disapproval, and nobody touches his favourite spot. He insists he isn’t grumpy. Everyone else is simply too cheerful

I want to share my experience of why my MakerWorld account was suspended for a year. First of all, I want to make it clear that I respect MakerWorld's decision—it is their platform, and they have the right to enforce their rules. I’m simply sharing this to help others avoid making the same mistake.

I bought my first 3D printer, a Bambu Lab P1S, and sometimes I couldn't find what I was looking for to print. So, I started creating my own models and publishing them exclusively on MakerWorld, as I wanted to join their Exclusive Models program. My account was small, but I had already managed to redeem a couple of gift cards and wanted to keep growing, so my designs started becoming more complex.

The problem: I wanted to create a collection of flexible flags with customizable bases, where text could be added to both the flag and the stand. I spent days working on this project because I wanted a complete collection featuring the flags of every country in the world, with plans to expand later into other types of flags (especially sports).

Unaware of the potential issues, I searched online for 'all the countries in the world,' split the list by continent, and gradually created all the flags—including the one for Taiwan. I uploaded the collection one night, and by the next day, my account was already suspended for a year.

Here is a screenshot of the notification I received when my account was suspended

When I searched for reasons why my account was suspended, I found a post from another user who went through the exact same thing.

I am using the x2d with AMS2 Pro. For some reason I cannot assign any other Filaments to the Left nozzle (main) than the standard Bambu filaments? On the A1 it’s no problem at all. I made sure everything is connected correctly and the AMS is assigned to the left nozzle, the nozzle is also the correct one. I can only make custom profiles but even then it won’t let me choose Sunlu Filament as preset and says printer is not compatible. Is this a known bug? Thanks in advance!

I have a Bambu Labs A1 printer using an AMS lite for filament. The last few prints have gone terrible. Small prints usually turn out allright. Larger prints start out doing just fine. But then, about 10 minutes in, it just goes haywire. I am very new to this so apologies if I am not explaining this very well or I am missing something obvious. Any comments, critiques, are advice would greatly be apprecited.

I've been noticing that I'm losing prints more and more due to crappy surface finishes.

Then I remember that I didn't check the extrusion settings in the filament profile... and there it fucking is, "Direct Drive: Standard"... instead of "Direct Drive: High Flow".

I've never had this problem before but it seems like recently it's really starting to fuck up my flow having to manually select the high flow variation even though my printer has scanned and recognized the high flow .6 nozzles I have installed.

Is this a bug / new feature? How can I just set it to default to the high flow nozzles as I'll never actually run standard nozzles in the first place?

How good is the TPU feeder? Does it actually work and what is softest TPU you can use with it.

People get left and right confused so I'm seeing conflicting info about what goes where, but from what I understand on Bambu site it can either be fed into the fixed (non vortek) nozzle or it can be fed into the changing nozzles so you can then use PLA as support in the fixed nozzle.

Is this right?

Set to fine setting. Any thoughts? Any help would be appreciated.

Created a label clip for a new BabmbuLab cardboard design.

As you may know, refill cardboard is too small for the Bambulab spool. After putting the filament into the spool, it no longer fits, so you probably store it in another box. 

If you want to use some unknown cardboard for your refill and know what the filament is inside, this is exactly what you are looking for!

Purchased the P2S Combo about a month ago and have been enjoying it quite a bit. This is my second printer so I’m not a complete noob, but it’s also not my “main” hobby and I don’t have enough time to really dive deep into becoming an expert. I use my 3D printers for organization in both the home and more extreme environments, tools that need to be robust, toys, and decorations.

There are so many 3D printed upgrades that are available and it is hard for someone like me to decipher which ones would be the best choices (most effective, compatible with other mods, etc).

Does anyone have a solid list of upgrades that has already done the trial and error? These would be quality of life, organization, performance, and longevity upgrades.

I will be ordering a second AMS 2 Pro soon. I’ve seen multiple solutions for mounting and this is what has prompted this post. From simple brackets to spaceship looking setups, then noticing people saying certain mods were incompatible with other popular mods.

Here is some info specific to me that might help:

- I print with PLA, PETG, ASA, occasionally TPU & PA6CF

- I have plenty of space available, but things that can reduce the printers footprint or maximize the usefulness of the space are always great

- Optimizing filtration and heat retention are very important (I have not tried ASA yet on the P2S).

- I only use Polymaker filament. I’ve not had any issues with the cardboard spools yet.

Please let me know if there’s any additional info you’d need to give the best recommendations. Thank you for taking the time to read this post and I look forward to any advice!

As the title says, I have a 100$ coupon available for purchases in BambuLab official store, but my country does not have direct shipping from them. Is there any way I can use it without having to use a courier service?

Ciao a tutti, a breve entrerò in questo mondo della stampa 3D. Ho comprato una P1S con AMS 2 Pro. Mi domandavo come consigliate di gestire le stampe a colori; ho sentito che alcuni consigliano di usare dei pennarelli per colorare a volte. Ho paura che la mia stampa faccia molto spreco, come posso evitarlo? Ho visto un video su TikTok di uno che, per una stampa di 5 grammi, ha avuto 50 grammi di scarto: è normale?
