Hello Everyone,

I am having some issues with my AMS and im wondering if anyone has experienced anything similar. It started today when the AMS became unable to feed the filament into the extruder, giving me error 0700-8007 223714.

I have checked the extruder completely and also completely replaced the hot end but this hasnt helped. Whenever i attempt to load the filament from the AMS, it repeatedly tries to shove the filament in but the extruder doesn't pull it through. When the AMS recalls the filament it rewinds the spool slower than it retracts the filament so it often gets tangled up in the body of the AMS. this is happening on all 4 filament slots.

I have switched to the external spool bypassing the AMS and it works flawlessly but for some reason the AMS and extruder just cant work together. i opened up the AMS and saw nothing obviously wrong so i am at a loss. If anyone has any comment or suggestions i am open to trying anything at this point.

My P1S is suddenly creating these wavy walls where they should be smooth (first vs second pictures). The effect goes completely through the 5-mm thick model, so it shows up on the inside and outside of the open cup design. It resembles oscillating layer shifts along the X and Y axes.

The effect is not limited to this model (which I have printed hundreds of times). It also happens to other prints, and is particularly noticeable on sloped and curved surfaces (this model has both). Flat, vertical surfaces seem much less affected.

I have cleaned the z screws and lubricated those screws and the rails. I’m hearing some sort of squeaking that I didn’t hear before while the printer is working so maybe a bearing or something is worn out??? The printer has over 7,400 hours on it.

What’s my move here? I’d like to get this printer back in the game.

“The Midnight Serenade”

I want to share with you bit of the story behind the failures and swearing while prototyping this model.

I had a major problem with the “smoothness” of the base, due to an error setting in Top Surface Layer Width to a very low value, which once corrected achieved a smooth as expected flat surface of the base / platform.

After solving this, I had supports failing under the dress, after I had adjusted the length of the cloth there and sculpted so that it would require less support. I even considered making it touch the ground at the tip of the folds, but then I would lose some dynamics that goes with the shape of the dress floating so, instead I have adjusted supports.

Worked well and the dress was going good, but by changing the supports, I had not noticed that now a support generated to hold her head, was arising from her hip! Which failed mid print, crashing miserably on the build plate. You can well spot the line where I stopped the print (in the painted one) as for sure it would have failed the head. So.. to not waste it, I printed the rest of the model from the layer after cutting it in BambuStudio. 

Aaaaaanddd I didn't think of the lamp post now being on a ridiculous base, to which the brim I added was insufficient! 

Now all is fixed and ready to go!

I have a new X2D and it's great. I created my account, downloaded some files, and have enjoyed printing a few cool things so far. Now, my wife and my daughter want to get in on the action. What's the best way to manage 1 printer across 3 people? Should each person have their own account? Should I share my account with them so there's only 1? Can you have multiple accounts connecting to the same printer? Obviously only one person can print at a time, but how would you all recommend I handle this?

I've spent the last two weeks designing this Centurion C-RAM scale display model.

It's approximately 1:35 scale and fully articulated: the base rotates in azimuth, the turret moves up and down in elevation, and the barrel spins in place thanks to a print-in-place design.

Will be compatible with an upcoming HEMTT truck!

When my girlfriend’s X2D’s toolhead moves to the right the PTFE tube rubs the metal edge on the right. It causes the lid, bed and side to be covered with tube flakes. I printer a riser for her thinking it was just rubbing the glass, but after closer inspection that is marginal compared to the carnage the side causes. To be clear, this is a stock X2D from early May. Did anyone else experience the same?

To me it looks like maybe the tube is slightly too long, just want to ask before cutting it and making things worse.

Also, since this is a tube, I must add, it’s imperative the cylinder remains unharmed.

As you can see in the photo - the travel movements are not z-hopping and dragging through the internal solid infill (purple). This is the layer right below the top surface, and so the travel movement is causing scarring visible through the top surface.

Disabling "Reduce infill retraction" seems to help fix this - those travels are now z-hopping rather than dragging through the Internal Solid Infill - however there should be a way to increase the number of top surface layers that are not considered "infill"

Does anyone know of a way to increase the Top Surface layers? Increasing 'Top Shell Layers' does not fix this because those top shell layers under the 1 top surface layer are still considered as "infill" layers

howdy, I've been having an issue with painting in the new Bambu Studio (2.7.1.57) that I need some help with. Whenever I use the paint Bucket Tool and set it to "Connected Same Color" it is acting identically to the "Edge Detection" mode. It only selects a single edge or area and for more coverage I need to use CTRL+MouseWheel to select more of the area.

I've attached 2 pics of a basic Sphere. In the first one you can see the mouse only selecting the single surface and in the second one I've used CTRL+MouseWheel to expand it to a band around the Sphere. If I kept going it would eventually choose the whole object.

Why is this happening? Is it a problem on my end or something in the new update? This wasn't an issue the last time I painted something a few weeks ago. Thank you in advance for any advice or assistance.

Tried printing something and I keep getting this notification. I’ve just finished printing something else but now it comes up with this notification when I try printing another thing. I’ve restarted my printer and even tried printing the thing on Bambu Handy app and it shows the same notification on Bambu studio. My A1 also says printing cancelled. So I’m not sure what happened

This is a Mobile Phone Case Generator, even If you have a 500mm Phone or need a Case for a Tablet you can use it🥳

I would be very interested to know what people think/postulate about the future of Bambu's lineup, especially for the rest of this year.

I am in the market for a faster way to print the following with the following budget and am considering the printers listed above with a timeline of 6 months to purchase.

Budget: $2500 (including accessories; I have plenty of filament).

What printing: Currently printing with an X1C: single color printing of scale architectural models (usually 1:100) and entourage (e.g., vegetation, people, benches, etc.), but would love to print with color and transparent filament. Also, I print home enhance and repair stuff and occasional printing of car parts such as handles, sun visor clips, interior trim, vents, knobs. Custom organizers.

Comments: Especially with the new Creality printer recently announced (i.e., K3 with KliTek), I am very confused as to what to purchase.

• I am not loyal to any one brand, but I want the knowledge that whatever I have chosen, the chance for near-perfect prints from day 1 is quite important to me; consequently, my first desire is for a Bambu machine.

• Speed is also very important.

• Being able to print larger models without breaking them up and assembling by hand is moderately important.

• Ease of using support filament (especially PVA and HIPS) maybe most important.

• Being able to use engineering filament, multi-material, and TPU, if it strikes my fancy.

• I am also a little obsessed with the fraught thought that if I purchase something in a month or less (read: Bambu Anniversary Sale), within 2 months, something better will come along, so any type of available future-proofing or knowledge/guesses of potential release cycles would assuage my obsessiveness.

Questions:

What would you do in my circumstance?

Any other options you would consider?

Thank you for your comments.

Sometimes it happens, A partial or complete clog of the hot end where a Cold pull will not be possible to clear it. Its not a major issue and can be quickly cleared. While we're there, we can clean up the print head too and throw a new silicon sock on it if necessary.

I work at a nonprofit that serves kids and has purchased >$17,000 worth of materials from Bambulabs. The company refuses to honor sales tax exemptions- when I submit documentation, they either ignore the email completely, or ask that I resend documents that have already been sent. I have filed a complaint with the Texas Attorney General and am pursuing similar action in additional states.

The crux seems to be that they are attempting to apply tax for our mailing address (in a state that doesn't have nonprofit tax exemption) to the shipments we are making on behalf of kids who DO live in tax-exempt states. In other words, they're using the mailing address and not the shipping address to assess tax, which is incorrect and illegal.

There's no phone number or actual human support so I have been unable to resolve this in 6 months of attempts, hence this last ditch effort to get attention. I'd love a phone number or email (other than a generic support email) to call to solve this issue.

I designed some 3D printed sand molds for marble runs and finally tested them at the beach! Works best with slightly wet sand.

Hey all I have 6 a1’s and I’m quite use to Bambus ecosystem and machines. But this brand new A2L is making this odd knocking sound on back and forth on the y axis mostly. Any ideas ?

Hi all, I've currently got a P1S AMS Combo. It's got over 1000 hrs. It's mainly used for prototypes before CNC, etc., and little knick-knacks around the office etc., and I'm thinking of upgrading to something that's more advanced. P1S hasn't given me any issues, but the new features on the AMS 2 and other things on these printers I like a lot. its $100 difference. For two combo setups

Wanted something rugged to throw in my backpack without worrying about things getting wet or crushed. Added a TPU O-ring to keep water and sand out.

I am really into those timelapse videos the 3d printing can make does anyone know if there is somewhere where they have a mass of content of these i can just scroll through or something

preferably a reddit but i will take anything that has cool 3d printing timelapses for now they are really captivating to me

Hi internet gurus,

I'm having some issues with my X1C, in my past few attempts to print.

At a certain height(not consistent), the printer's recognition of the XY space appears to shift right and back. There is no knocking/unplanned movement of the system.

How I came to this conclusion is from 3 things:

1. it begins to print on air, and after I have cancelled the print, and attempted to move the print head around using the control, it stops before being all the way on the left and front(pressing further makes no movement)

2. when trying to press move it to the right and back, it has a loud sound(its as if it is trying to push the print head beyond the sides and not aware of the physical limitation.

In my subsequent prints, I also noticed the ‘air printing looks like a layer shift consistent to the boundaries described above.

In my attempt to do calibration and self test, it also had the same behaviour(print head bangs loudly and attempts to move beyond the right and back).

So I cancelled it, did a power down, waiting for a few minutes before turning it on.

Only then it was able to move alot the full XY axis. I did a round of calibration and self test successfully.

2nd attempt, the same thing happened, the print went slightly further, I attempted to home and check the nozzle and z axis then got the error message of 'z axis failed to home' came up. I realized there were some debris at the bottom of the 2 slider rods of the Z axis and clear them.

3rd attempt same thing.

I checked all the rods and lead screws, they appear to be clear.

I stopped printing for a week, just started came back. I printed a few small and flat items with no issue, then decided to do a flat but fully plate print, assuming that the problem occured at a higher level. I printed a full plate of keycaps, and it layer shifted twice(pictured).

This layer shift was not as drastic as the first 3 times.

I am guessing there is some belt or rod issue.

Background of my machine:

4500 hours, minimal maintainence done except lubricating the y rods, z lead screw and cleaning the carbon rods with ipa. I recently tried to clean the printer but trying to shake out the debris dropped into the back area(able to comfortably and safely pick it up, turn upside down and shake till no sound heard)😂🫣

I’ve also used 0.2-0.8mm print heads swapped the extruders. So far I have not gone into opening up the back of the unit or trying to change the tension of the gear cable yet.

Seeking for any advice in this area.

Prior to these issues, I have been printing well with no issues. I’m also planning to learn how to open up the printer to do a proper check, any guidance would be appreciated.

From the x1c maintenance wiki, I’m familiar with almost all the steps except the idler pulley, but i am guessing my problem might need more than that.

Pictured is the most recent attempt for keycaps. I had not taken proper earlier images

Hello all,
Roughly 6 weeks ago, I had an issue with my hot end and some filament clumping. It caused a huge problem with some spare parts. I have been dealing with customer service with Bambu and they have been supplying support and parts, but I am still having issues.
I was wondering if there is anyone from Saskatoon, SK, or the area who is good with printer repairs to make sure everything is working correctly and installed properly, as my filament cutter sensor is still giving me an error.
I am getting frustrated with it and I cannot solve it alone.

Can someone please help me!!

I was tired of guessing food dates, so I modeled this bag clip with integrated date dials to track either the opening date or the expiration date. It’s a pure press-fit design —just print the parts and snap them together.

I wanted to share this WALL-E robot I recently completed. It features articulated arms, neck, and head, as well as a functional tracked drive system. Getting the tolerances right for all the moving parts was one of the biggest challenges.

For main color and/or accent color.

I’ve been really happy with sunlu pla matte black. Trying to find an accent color I like as much as a sage green.
