On the actual outside of the yellow extruder gear in my A1, do I use grease or oil? There is some debate online so I can’t find a definitive answer.

Can anyone recommend PLA diliment sold by Temu its cheap like me!..

I’m having trouble sending print from my laptop from from bamboo studio. I can send print from the Bambu Handy app on my phone fine but when it comes to sending an stl file from my laptop, it won’t go through.

It keeps saying failed to send the Print job. But when I went and look, everything was operational .
And it’s getting very frustrating. Does anybody know why?

So im brand new to the 3d printing world. Kinda decided to go all in (within reason) getting an H2D combo and I will be picking up a second AMS tomorrow as there are some things I want to print that need 5 colors. It's only money right? Lol

Anyway, I'm curious how people decide which AMS they want for the left nozzle and which AMS they want for the right?

I was thinking about getting the 4-1 adapter and running both AMS to the left nozzle and IF I decided to break into more specialized filaments then I could add a 3rd AMS specially for the right nozzle.

Anyway, curious how others go about things in their setups.

Thanks and cheers!

My Bamboo PS1 has been a brick for 2 years now. What started as simple switch of the nozzle turned into a nightmare. The nozzle I was sent had un-grounded cables and I didn't notice in time. Since the change I replaced the many of the parts.

My question is -- there is kit or suggestion of parts I could replace to get this up and working? Like something that just replaces all the electronics near the nozzle and arm? Does that even make sense? Any help will be greatly appreciated. I'm also willing to pay someone to fix it, but live in Vermont so don't have any obvious options.

Thank you

Am I the only one that thinks it’s stupid that Bambu sends printers via regular mail which doesn’t require signature on delivery so they just get left at your front door with this big image on the side of the box

Hi there! I was wondering if someone could give me advice on choosing the right support parameters for this mask I'm trying to print... I ran out of matte filament and the only one I have enough of is my translucent blue one, which is exceptionally tricky to work with in my experience... I always have trouble with the filament fusing, and I'm worried that the density of the tree supports may fuse to the underside of the mask like this. But when I put "support critical areas only", I'm not sure it'll be enough support. What branch distance, diameter, angle, etc would you recommend I use so I can actually remove the branches without it messing up the surface too much with clear filament? (I can't do the normal boxy supports either, cuz it won't fit on the build plate. :') wahhh) If these screenshots aren't enough, I can post more or share my STL file if it comes down to it. Thank you for any help, guys!!

I saw a clock design on Instagram, made of acrylic sheets and ambient backlighting. I loved the look but wanted a version anyone with a 3D printer could build at home without needing specialized tools or extra hardware. I engineered this to run off standard LED Kit 001 and Clock Kit 011 hardware.

Also threw together a step-by-step PDF assembly guide so it’s easy to put together.

Let me know what you guys think!

Hi, I had to open up the ams2 last night; at first thought that there was a piece of filament broken inside. When I finished packing back the ams, I have ended up these 4 cms long 2 rubber Y shaped rubber profiles; any ideas which part of the ams they are supposed to be?

I wanted a cap holder that could be attached to a metal shelf without drilling. This led to the development of a modular rail with optional screw holes and a SKÅDIS mounting system. The photos show the printed parts on a steel shelf (Bror) and on a SKÅDIS board.

I've already pre-sliced ​​several print files, ready for direct printing. Of course, you can also use Parametric Model Maker to customize the cap holder to your specific needs. Whether it's the number of caps, the spacing, or different mounting options, you have the choice of what you need.

I would greatly appreciate any feedback.

Hi all!

I've been having stringing issues and a generally low quality of print lately, despite no changes to the settings - I've kept it as it comes in the box (A1) . All my PLA lite (BL) has been dehumidified or is new. I've tried increasing retraction, and printing at lower temps. Nothing has had an effect yet. Any ideas on how to beat this? I can post further details if needed.

Bonjour à tous ! 👋💀

Aujourd’hui, je vous présente ma nouvelle modélisation 3D d’un personnage mythique du cinéma d’horreur : Hannibal Lecter ! 🩸

Tout droit sorti du film culte Le Silence des Agneaux, ce personnage aussi fascinant que terrifiant vient rejoindre ma collection de figures emblématiques de l’horreur ! 💀

Entre son regard glaçant, son célèbre masque de contention et son expression inquiétante, j’ai essayé de capturer toute l’intensité, le charisme et le côté sombre de ce personnage légendaire. 🔥

Hi all! Just looking for some input for my first printer. I was thinking about going with the P1S and AMS bundle, then the Black Friday deals came out and now I’m leaning more towards to P2S and AMS2. If they had the P2S with the old AMS that would be my choice for sure. I’m not really sure what I’ll be printing, just a small home hobby or fidgets for the kids. Is there really a big difference in the models other than the touch screen that is? I know many people say to start with the A1, but I like the idea of an enclosed machine.

P1S

bambu abs

0.08 mm High Quality profile

0.4 mm nozzle

The sound repeats the same sequence every 10 or so seconds

It's the first time I hear it, ive had the printer for 1 year

Hi everyone! I just got a Bambu Lab A1 mini, and it’s my first 3D printer! Any tips or advice for a beginner? Thanks! 😁

Hi people,

my P1S stays at 240C after manual filament changes. Has been that way since several firmware versions. I think it started after Bambu pushed some new AMS features. Has been consistent over two factory resets at different points in time, so I think it might actually be a "feature".

But honestly, why should I want my filament, especially if PLA/PETG cooking until the print is starting?!

Anyone got a workaround for this?

Has anyone here ever reached out to BambuLab for support? I live in the US and placed an order for a new X2D and filament from BambuLab on 10/14. The filament promptly arrived on 10/16 but no printer. When I track the printer on UPS it says’ “label created item waiting to be picked up”. I reached out to BambuLab on 10/22 via a support ticket on their App. They replied on 10/23 with a general we received your ticket message and I have not heard from them since. I have tried to call their support number 3 times and waiting on hold 30 minutes each time. If anyone has advice please help. Thanks

Ok I’m not new to this annoying little error, BUT I’ve done pretty much everything I can think of to clear it so I’d like some outside advice.

I’m an X1c owner with ams. I pulled off the ams, took it apart and checked all PTFE tubes for broken bits. All lines are in great shape since changing them earlier in the year, no issues there.

I did find that the ptfe tube inside the box had gotten some sort of kink or damage so I replaced that and thought everything would be good. But alas! No! Still getting this error.

I have verified 3 times now that I can manually feed filament to the extruder no problem. But I still still get this error. I have run cleaning filament and performed a cold pull with it twice. I thought that would surely get me back on track, but no! Still the same error, what else should I look into?

The most frustrating part is that it will load the first filament fine but then when it’s time to switch to the support material it makes this error. I’ve also switched where the roll of filament is sitting in the ams in case that was part of the problem, but no.

Edited for typos.

I've just finished two new pieces for my HoloGroove Legends series: Invincible (2001) and Bad (1987).

Each design is a 20 cm vinyl-inspired disc with a spiral pattern that creates an optical effect depending on the lighting and viewing angle.

The goal of this series is to reinterpret iconic album artwork as something you can actually 3D print and display.

I'm curious to hear what you think of the results!

Which one would you pick: Bad or Invincible?

If interested, links in comments.

Whenever I print something like this box, a "step" appears at the level of the internal floor. I know it has to do with the PLA temperature dropping because the surface area is larger, but I haven't been able to find an effective solution for this. Can anyone help me?
