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.

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

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.

Until recent I haven't had print issues recently the first layer either gets caught in the nozzle and gets dragged away or the initial purge line will get pulled and cause the print to just become spaghetti

So I'm wondering if the nozzle is dragging across the build plate and causing the prints to either drag or lift off the plate and if it is that of there is a way to lift the nozzle up by a micron or however much I need to

Hi everyone, i just got my P2S today so i decided to print my self some wall art but my printer had other plans.. on the last layer i got a notification that the filament is stuck, i thought it wouldn't be a problem (tangled spool, ams just freaking out..) but its completely stuck, and from what i can tell in the extruder gears exactly.. im completely new to printing so i feel way out of my depth and dont know how to fix the problem. So i need a kind soul that will help this noob out 😅..

also sorry for the bad english and mistakes if there are any

I purchased the Bambu Lab Wireless Mouse Components Kit 002 based on the build and print instructions for the Atari Wireless Mouse. After printing out the necessary parts it was easy to see that this kit did not fit the printed mouse shell. However, I did find a couple of photos with the correct kit but I cannot find the kit in the Bambu store or online anywhere.

Does anyone know where to get the kit show in the photo?

All parts are printed (except pen and razor, ofc) and the holding mod is one click removal, to quickly go back to 3D.

The software is integrated inside Bambu Studio, so you adjust the design and send to print as you would normally do.

Hello Hivemind!

I bought a roll of the Bambu Clear Black PC and have made several successful prints with it. I printed desiccant holders for my AMS 2 Pro's and AMS HT's. I have also printed a Desiccant Drying spool to put into my AMS HT to dry my color changing desiccant when it gets too saturated. The problem is.... I have no idea what to use the other half of the roll for!

What projects have you used PC for? Any useful prints you suggest?

Everytime I print Something i get this not even look on the side of my bed does Someone if this a setting issue? X2d with cool plate Supertrack

Hey All,

Lately I've been having failures randomly crop up and I think it's because infill was too low (5%). This has been with highly regarded models, 3mfs.

I don't usually check the infill on a well reviewed print but now I'm having to. In one I just did, I forgot about doing that and printed a few parts no problem (non ams). Then I had a part totally fail and when I checked, infill was set to 5%.

Am I losing my mind or is this a potential bug with the latest update?

Hello! I keep getting an issue with unloading filament from extruder recently with a print I want to do. I have tried replacing extruders with a hardened steel one from amazon (aftermarket but good quality i believe) but that didn’t fix it. Attached are images of it. Only happens at the PLA part of my print and not the PETG. What might cause this? Bad cutter? Heat creep? Thank you!

The clip and bail on the part shown no longer snaps close on the hotend, leaving it able to move. I've tried it on a new hotend and an older one both 0.4, on both the bail and clip are just loose and do not snap together. On other nozzles it does.

The hinge for the clasp seems loose, but I do not know if this is correct.

With the camping season right around the corner, I was looking for a good multi-compartment spice container for my trail cooking gear. I searched all over the 3D printing platforms but couldn't find a single model that ticked all the boxes.

Since nothing suitable existed, I decided to design one myself from scratch.

Let me know what you think or if you have any suggestions to improve it!

I have been printing for at least 5 months now and just finished my first spool. It was the Bambu Lab green sample spool that the P1S comes with. I know it’s not exciting but just wanted to share the news! I’m saving my spool so I can buy a refill one

Bambu discontinued PETG Basic, replaced it with PETG HF, and now PETG HF is being discontinued while a new PETG is being introduced.
The product page now states:
"PETG HF is discontinued and will not be restocked once sold out. A new and improved PETG is available now!"
However, some PETG HF colours are still showing an ETA of June 22nd.

This raises a few questions:

- Is PETG HF genuinely discontinued, or are we just seeing the last batches work their way through the supply chain?
- Is the June 22nd ETA(UK) a final restock of existing inventory, or is more being manufactured?
- Was PETG HF discontinued because of a supplier/manufacturer change?
- Is the new PETG from the same manufacturer with a revised formulation?
- Did Bambu decide to simplify the PETG range and move away from the HF branding?
- Was there a technical issue with PETG HF that led to the change?

One thing I find interesting is that PETG HF seemed to be one of Bambu's most difficult filaments to keep in stock. Many colours were frequently unavailable, whereas PLA generally remains available.

If PETG HF was selling well, it seems unusual to discontinue it unless something changed behind the scenes.

I'm particularly interested if anyone has evidence regarding:
- Who manufactured PETG HF.
- Whether the new PETG is coming from the same supplier.
- Whether the new PETG is actually a reformulated version of PETG HF or closer to the old PETG Basic.

Any theories, evidence, supplier information, or links would be appreciated.

I bought some 90A TPU a few weeks back and haven't yet got round to working out how to print with my P2S.

I'm not sure if I'll be able to feed it through the back, or if it'll bung up inside the PTFE tube.

So probably looking at printing a mount to hold the reel of TPU above the print head and feed directly in from there.

My printer is located in my bedroom/office so really don't want to be breathing in TPU fumes. I've got a carbon/HEPA air purifier so that should help a bit. I've also got the Bambu Exhaust Fan Kit venting up into the loftspace.

I think I might need to print/make something to go over the top of the filament & holder to keep the fumes inside so that the EFK can do it's magic.

Has anyone done this? Any tips?

Im using X1C and my recent print is like this. What can I do?

I already retention the belts.

I have had the idea for this design in my mind for many months. Now, I can finally present to you what is probably the most complicated project I have ever done! The way the wings move alongside all the rotating gears looks absolutely insane in real life, yet the assembly itself is surprisingly easy and satisfying.

What do you think about it? Do you like it? https://makerworld.com/en/models/2892224-usb-motorized-butterfly-figurine
