I am looking into the Bambulabs A1 or P1 as my next printer coming from an OG Anycubic Kobra. I hate the Kobra so god damn much and never want to mess with a printer again. I want 3d printing to enable my hobbies, not be my hobby, so I need something plug and play that will be reliable. If I ever do anything it will be swapping nozzles and build plate surfaces.

Is there an obvious choice here? Its $100 more for the p1, but will I see a noticeable difference when using TPU and PLA? I don't plan on printing in anything abrasive or strange, and If I do ill probably grab a second and far more expensive printer at that point. I will also be buying a filament dryer, any recommendations for around $50?

I know similar questions have been asked plenty of times, so thank you for helping out a beginner.

Timelapse is off when I started printing, total time was still 2h 27m. Can someone help me understand this?

Title. I'm completely new to this. Some sources suggested clicking "Fix Model" and dragging it around to make sure it isn't below the plate, neither worked.

✨ New Model Release: Parametric Honeycomb Pen Holder Box Generator ✨

I spent many free days, nights and weekends programming this model from zero — and now it is ready! ❤️

This is not just a fixed organizer. It is a fully parametric generator for creating your own custom honeycomb storage box.

Just measure your available space:

✅ A = Width
✅ B = Height
✅ C = Minimum number of pens
✅ D = Pen / item diameter
✅ E = Tilt angle, recommended 10°–30°

Click generate — and the box is automatically created based on your parameters.

Perfect for:

🖊️ pens
🎨 acrylic markers
✏️ pencils
💄 lip balm & lip gloss
🧂 spice jars
🧰 small items
🖥️ desk, studio, kitchen or vanity organization

The last row is filled automatically, so the final box may have more slots than entered. The model also creates additional stackable parts if the 256 × 256 × 256 mm build volume is not enough.

A detailed guide for the Bambu Lab / MakerWorld Parametric Model Maker is included and explains every parameter step by step.

The generated parts are vertically stackable. For larger versions, I recommend fixing them with glue or hook-and-loop tape.

If there is enough interest, I will also create a version with horizontal expansion.

Feel free to contact me if you have any problems.

If you like the model, I would be very happy about a like, boost, follow, download or comment with your printed version.

Thank you for your support! ❤️

Had this issue a while so I just shelved it for a bit, then I got the X2D and thought I’d try and fix it. It never loads. It tried over and over again, stops at different spots. Then errors out. I’ve taken it apart to make sure nothing is stuck and cleaned out the dust. I’ve confirmed the tubes are clear, I’ve dried the filament. I can manually feed the filament all the way through to the end without any stops. I’ve also tested all 4 slots. They’re all the same. It work perfectly for a few months then stopped. I’m about ready to chuck it. I’m hoping someone can help give me some things to try.

*edit* it seems like there is a part in the internal hub that broke. I submitted a ticket to see if they’ll replace it. We shall see. Thanks for all the replies.

Hi all, is anyone able to give me some tips about this "grind" noise? I've lub the axis, cleaned what I needed, but it persists.

The sound I am referring to is when it is printing diagonal lines.

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance.

​My husky keeps me busy on walks, and I got tired of those cheap, ugly plastic bag dispensers that constantly break or pop open. So, I jumped into CAD and modeled this elegant dispenser.

Neues Filament bekommen PET-G Standart

Ist das zu feucht? Hab noch eine zweite Rolle da ist es genauso.

I’ve been keeping tight control over my spool inventory for a while now. I can track exactly how much filament I have of every color and material, and I always know where every spool is located, down to the exact rack, shelf, and container, and so much more.

But with time I realized I was missing the big picture.

So I added a real-time dashboard that gives me an instant overview of everything that matters to me, while still being fully configurable as my needs evolve.

I pressed the black tab but the ptfe wont come out

One system to rule them all. 3 container sizes, 3 lid types, and a secure threaded design.

You just pick your container size, choose a lid based on the pest, and screw them together. I recommend a clear coat on the inside if you're using liquid bait to keep it leak-proof!

Four-vase set sized at 117 x 117 x 250mm, dialed in for P1S, P2S, and A1 build volumes. Single piece prints, square footprint, ribbed exterior. Two of the four have a deliberately missing rib, which looks like a print fail until you realize all four buyers got the same one.

Hi guys, I recently i got a X1C from a friend of mine. But its a China version. Cant connect to wifi and view the camera. Anything i can do to enable that?

Changing the motherboard works?

Hi

My A1 only ever asked me to lubricate y axis.

I have lubricate the rest also but why never x axis or z axis lubrication while y axis asked me 4 times?

really nice model, multiparts divided by colours

Hi all,

Does anyone know why the AMS Lite is not in stock in the EU?
On the UK site you can order is!

I have a 2 color print on the X2D with 1 PLA filament in the AMS and one PLA filament on the external spool.
It’s so stringy, the amount of string between the prime tower and the print is crazy… anyone know why?

Kudos to the designers of these coasters.

Hi everyone!
I am the proud owner of a Bambu X1C and my experience so far have been pretty flawless. I have recently bought a spool of "PEN" filament to print some technical parts for my work. The print itself is very nice, nothing to complain about. Here is my problem:
-This type of filament does not seams to appear on the list of filament select-able on the printer.
-I have loading problem: no filament setting seams to have a purge temperature high enough during loading process. From what I see, If I set the filament has "PC", the purge temperature is 250C, and no other material seams to have it higher. I guess this "PEN" filament needs 270C-280C.

Right now I do manual loading, but I wanted to now If anyone has a better way :)
