Hey brother it looks like you are using the Support material for the ENTIRE support structure, rather than as the interface betwen the part and support for super easy brake away? The support column itself should always be the same material you are printing with. Special support material being just for the INBETWEEN layer of part and support for super easy brakeaway. Ive honestly never seen a X1C behave like that before either and Ive put mine through some pretty wild scenarios. Cheers
I've had issue with filament swap purges getting stuck in the print. There are a few mods available to print that modify the wiper and those fully solved the issue. Doing this with only interface swaps for support remove all issues I've encountered related to this.
Never any issues printing PLA or ABS, but I have seen these issues with PETG, it's so sticky it gets stuck to the nozzle a lot more. Upgrading the wiper helps!
I’m in awe that you had any issues at all. 😂 I’ve never had to do anything with mine except hit print and come back when it finishes. By the way, I’ve had mine for a year now, and I am still using the same half roll of support filament because I am using it only for the support interface layer, like you’re supposed to. You do NOT use it to print the supports. It goes between the supports and the modem only. The support interface layers. That’s all it is meant for.
Killer design! For the wattage? Wow!! So many companies seem to have generic design and simply trick people into thinking quality is hi wattage/volume. Shaking my head no! I’ve learned so much from your videos. Cheers from Texas! 🤘😺🤘
I've been watching you for 3-4 years, every product you create in your videos is worthy of being released as a mass product. It's strange that no one has offered you such an opportunity yet, because if you approach your masterpieces wisely, you can achieve a good price-quality ratio. And I also realized one thing - it seems that the number of your subscribers is an accurate indicator of people who are interested in creating their own sound. I love watching you! I'm from Belarus.
Hexi i think that you might have an issue with the flipper mechanism that it in the middle of the poopshoot. The printhead is supposed to strike the arm that is above the poopshoot to shake the poop down. i have the X1C myself and have used it for 1550 hours. I have had the issue that you had once and the problem was that the flapper got stuck. i hope that is also the problem for you! mine has been super reliable on PLA, PETG, nylon PA6 and other engineering filaments.
Looks like you'll be all set for the next pool party, or maybe barbecue. Never ceases to amaze me just what you can coax out of relatively small drivers. Extra 👍 for Sophie's smart-looking strap, completing the look.
I had issues with the PETG poop as well. I printed an upgrade wiper from Makerworld that utilizes the silicone wiper from the A1 and the majority of my issues were resolved. Also, use support material (or PLA for PETG) for the interface layer only. This will greatly reduce your print times. Awesome video!
Very cool build.. takes me back. The X1C wiper issues were resolved in the newer A1 design which has a silicon wiper mat that the nozzle drags over and is extremely effective. Hopefully Bambu will add this feature in the future iterations, but there are community mods that allow you to add it yourself.
It's funny your video popped up. I'm a bambu user and I've been printing speakers recently as well. I have a P1P and P1S. I've had the issue with the filament sticking to the nozzle. I've heard of others having the issue as well. The consensus is the wiper is crap on the X1 and P1 machines. There is a printable design that using the wiper from the A1. I'm actually about to hit print on it myself. But everyone I've talked to said it elementals the issue.
That speaker build is making me feel genuine envy! So friggen cool. I think it’s time to get my first 3D printer. Thank you for making that blueprint available.
Been using my X1C for a long time and never seen the issues you’re having. I think all the other people in the comment already got your issues identified. Absolutely amazing build and to showcase the print quality!
Great project, I had a similar idea to build a OG Boombox and I love to see that you actually just built it how it turned out. But as some comments already mentioned, many problems that you experienced with the X1 can be bypassed. And maybe then you will have some better user experience. For example supportmaterial only on interface section etc. Cleaning the nozzle while hot and brushing with a brass brush can help with the PETG problem. PETG is known for sticking to the nozzle. So as long as you do not clean your nozzle correctly, after you got some PETG stuck on your nozzle, the problem will ALWAYS happen again. But I love your crazyness for doing that 4days 2000 filamentswitches print. :D
Our X1c rarely has any issues with poop in the print area. Definitely not like you are experiencing, I would contact them and troubleshoot the issue. Once it is operating normal, they really are trouble free.
A few considerations: -it is a fairly common issue especially with PETG! you might solve it by printing an upgraded "nozzle wiper", there are tons online. Hopefully bambu will fix that in the x2c or whatever they wanna call their next printer lol -they give you little "support filament" because you're onli supposed to use it as the interface material! In the slicer, in the support section, you can select it, then the printer will print the supports in normal material, and then only switch to the interface material at the very top. You'll get way fewer filament changes, so more reliability and way quicker print times!
So refreshing to hear honest reviews. Seems every channel has a fan boy of BL or Creality and the gloss over the issue so they don't piss off the other fan boys and continue getting free shit. Thanks for this.
Big Time fan here who also owns an X1C with an AMS. The issue you are having is due to the flushing amounts being excessive causing blockages in the poop-schute. You can auto calculate the values or do some bleed testing to find the perfect sweet spot for each filament color to color change!
that deff not his only issue, did you see all the filament strings even on the flow calibrations? there a major error somewhere in settings, heat or nozzle also. maybe from all the poop that enters the printer on first print. I dont get why he did not try fix the problem >>>??? very strange. and then showed another printer print flawless. so idk whats up
When I first saw this video was you getting all the Bambu stuff for free...I ALMOST clicked off... However it's refreshing to see someone actually be honest about how Bambu isn't the perfect solution that Internet claims it to be.
What you have created is awesome brother! Seriously, so damn cool, thats something to really be proud of! Absolutely love your videos man, hope to see more through 2025 ❤️
It is not a hate comment or what but I am always amazed by how people are using different material for supports. Never had a problem with that printing either pla, abs or petg. Just tune your support distance depends on the material, speed and temperature.
This is cool! I used to lug around one of those types of boomboxes when my car systems were half done back in the day. It would be cool as shit to make a vertical downfiring sub to pick up from 30hz and up that perfectly matches this one.
I found that unchecking 'Reduce Infill Retraction', manually setting a z hop distance, and never using grid infill fixed all the print issues I've had with my Bambu printer that were not entirely user error.
Cool project, just finished building your TCP115-4 subwoofer on a P1S and that was certainly a project I wasn't prepared for. Hats off to your skills. Unreliable nozzle wipe has certainly been bothering me. There are several mods attempting to solve the issue, I suggest looking into these.
I have had no issues with my X1C... I do notice that yours is shaking around like crazy... Probably should try putting the maching on a much more sturdy base.. But this build is freaking awesome... Keep it up.
I hope you make a follow up video explaining your amateur mistakes with the printer. I have never even heard of the issues you described and we run these printers day in and day out without any issues.
I have had a p1s for over a year now and have had an overall great experience. I have a one or two prints do what yours is doing though and I think I fixed it by thoroughly cleaning the nozzle. I for the most part have had little issues with this printer as compared to other ones. I think it is great because it works out of the box more than a lot of printers on the market and works more like an appliance than something you have to tinker with just to work. Most of my prints have come out fitting perfect and it makes for quick prototyping of random projects i have around my house. Maybe try swapping on the nozzle on yours for a fresh one and see if you still run into the issue.
There are printable replacements for the poop scraper, some using included components, some using aftermarket stuff. You're not the only one who has issues with it, brother. Cool project, though. Looks great.
YESSSSSSS!!! And I have the X1C so this build will fit, Ty!! Also very odd.. I've had mine a year and i do see the poop issue here and there, but nothing like your dealing with.
Instead of using brass inserts you can also recess a physical nut into the print for your threads. Basically make a space for the nut on the last layer before printing over the space, pause the print and insert the nut, then print over it. It’s way stronger and you would have a hard time stripping that out vs the brass inserts which easily strip out.
I’ve had a p1s for a few months now and while I love the printer clogged poop chutes has been my only issue as well. My first print was a catch bin like you. It always clogged so I run chuteless now and I’ve been good
There's a few prints for blocking off half of the purge chute on makerworld and it works phenomenally well for fixing the problem of waste purge being dragged back into the chamber. There are also some that upgrade the wiping area for better nozzle cleaning using a wiping piece from an a1. I cant speak for the help of the second one because I haven't made it yet but the first one makes a noticeable difference.
You're not the only one lol. You just need a larger bucket and print the nozzle wiper from makerworld and uses the A1 rubber finger pad instead of the stupid one the X1 and P1 models use. Also, avoid grid infill at all cost with a Bambu unless it's a requirement. Gyroid is your friend. Something with grid always causes nozzle dragging.
There is a mod for the X1 that uses the wiper that the A1 uses. It will drastically reduce the issues with the nozzle dragging the waste on to the print bed.
The X1C poopchute is probably the weakest part of the printer. There are upgrades to move it to the A1-style silicone brush scrubber rather than just the teflon wiper. I haven't needed to do this, though. Mine has been printing nearly non-stop for months with zero issues. Especially since this was sent out as a sponsored spot, I'd contact Bambu and have them fix that for you.
I suspect some part of your nozzle wiping mechanism might not be working right. I'm not a Bambu fan (I'm more into the Voron side of things), but even I haven't really seen any others online have such a hard time with the remnants. I'd probably talk to Bambu about it if I were you :) Aside from that, have you seen the chair-mounted multichannel speaker setup thingy shown off an CES? It's called Colo GCS and it seems too expensive for what it is and a prime target for a DIY 3d printed rendition. It would be amazing to see you take crack at it, plus I would be very interested to hear your insights into surround sound setups!
Excellent project absolutely love this. I am also a 3-D printer person with Bambu printers. Although I have had an occasional poop land on the bed, it rarely happens, which is why it kind of surprises me how and why it’s happening so much on their flagship printer of all printers. I’m assuming this has something to do with using the Support material as well because there are some temperature changes. I’m assuming they have to go up and down on it and there are probably some slicer settings that would definitely help with this. But again bravo excellent I would love to build this. Excellent job.❤
I've got 3600 hrs on my x1c and around 1000 on a p1s with loads of color changes. I'd have to say that your issues came from the petg. That material loves to stick to the nozzle and the wiper on the x1c doesn't do that well of taking care of that particular filament type. Maybe look into some of the wiper mods that utilize the a1 series silicone wipers. If you plan on continuing to use so much petg. As a side note, look into changing your support material type to only interface layers, as this will save tons of time and support material
The specialized support material is only made to be used on the interface layers between support and print and not all of the supports. Using it only on the interface layers reduces the amount that gets wasted from purging. Alternatively instead of using expensive premium support material, if its just PETG, you can use PLA as the support interface and vice versa using PETG as support if printing in PLA. PETG and PLA don't stick to each other so you can set the Z distance of the support to 0 for a perfectly smooth bottom and better dimensional accuracy on overhangs.
I've not had many problems with multicolour, but I've also only used PLA and ABS. PETG is much stickier and have had it stick to nozzles on several machines. The large number of colour changes just increases the chance of an issue. There's probably a reason Bambu's newer printers have a different nozzle wiper.
I've had that issue with petg if I had printed pla previously that had stuck to the nozzle. (after some cleanup it worked fine) But other than a minor thing here and there i've loved how well it prints vs my old creality machines. More time printing less time tinkering and modding. I do hope their next products kick it up a notch.
I play bass guitar and your videos have always had me wondering about the possibility of printing modular speaker cabs sort of like what Phil Jones does with those tiny drivers he uses. Another great video, thanks.
Had my X1 a few years ago, yes the shoot clogs and the the little swiper does not knock off the filament all of the time. It changes temperature between swaps and cleaning. There are mods for the wiper, but they seem to intriduce new issues or require modded firmware. I tend to suffer thru prints and get to it when i get home from work. The machine automatically shuts nozzle temp down until you can manage the fix
maybe you two could make a "tier list" for best sound/feeling for all the speakers you have made. Maybe sort them by size and power or only mix all of them and list them
You dont actually need the expensive support stuff. PETG is the perfect support material for PLA and vice versa. They dont stick at all to each other and they're both cheap. And as others have said, you can save a lot of filament changes if you use the support material for only the interface layers.
Man you never cease to amaze me in your builds and how you challenge yourself and the printers. I’m also pretty amazed that is only took 3 18650s what the total run time at reasonable volume?
if i remember correctly the poop leftover while printing could be because of the PETG itself aaaand the wiper thing not being tall enough. someone printed a new one which was a bit longer and i think it worked well, but it comes with higher friction
That is such a cool project and design! But jesus, I would not have stuck around to babysit that print for that long with those problems. This is definetly not a common Bambu Lab Printer problem, I own and operate several. Also some tips: The flushing of filament when a filament-change is occuring can be set in Bambu Studio ("flushing volumes" in the filament settings), which by default is way to high. Color to color would need maybe 220 (unit), color to white maybe 360, but I have used less. Bambu Studio likes to set it to double that, which is just too much waste. The Support Filament you use does not have to be used for the whole structure. Print supports with the normal filament you print with, to avoid irregularities in dimensions and such. Then use the support-filament at the top of the support, the part that touches the to-be-supported print. Therefore using MUCH less of the support-filament. The printhead doesnt seem to hit the lever in the shute, which would usualy bounce mach and forth when the nozzle is wiped. There are "brushes" you can print or buy from Bambu Labs, which are common on the A1 and A1 Mini, that are very good ar wiping the nozzle clean automatically when installed in the back of the printer and setup with some g-code to to so. That could be a common solution some people have made for their Printers. Maybe your fan is running while you flush volume? Which would have the filament harden up and stay on the nozzle while the printer tries to wipe it away. Maybe the temperature of the nozzle changes while it triesl to flus / wipe? Overall a very nice Project! One of my new years resolutions is to try to build some cool stuff this year, like you did here :) thank you for the inspo!
i strongly suggest you print a new poop solution. think i tried the most of the ones available and ended up making my own :P its a basic chute that morphs from a rectangle to a tube at a 27.5 degree angle. i fitted a standard ventilation duct and cut a hole in the table to feed the duct through into a plastic storage box. i had this setup running for about 40kg petg, and completely spoiled myself by never checking it. it backed up from a pile in the box all the way up to the purge zone 😅 for your "poop in print" issue i suggest you fine adjust the wipers height by shimming the dark grey plastic divider wall inside the chamber. the sweetspot i found is so it baaarely touches the nozzle. the more it flexes the more it smears and throws the purge. i have had two poops in the chamber with multimaterial prints of ca 3 of the 40kg period. dont waste time going down the rabbithole of x1c wipers.. i was lost there for almost a year before i just sat down with coffee and watched it do its thing. 😉
I do not own an X1C but I have never seen or read about the problem you are facing anywhere else. I am sure it can be fixed with some troubleshooting or get in touch with support.
I think its partly the filament. While yes it happens that the poop blob gets pulled out the chute it normally does not happen as regular as in your print (on my machine). Its a rare thing for me but I have never used high flow filament.
Its pretty crazy you're having those issues with the x1c. I've got that printer, never had that issue at all. Regardless, I know what my next build will be lol
Your poop chute likely triggered the first crash and it likely messed up the wiper. With the wiper now offset a bit, the ability to clear out the purges was reduced dramatically.
Anybody have any issues with the dayton audio board? Ive had 3 KAB230 boards just stop working for unknow reasons. The blutooth still function but im guessing the class D amp portion gets fried. I really want to like these boards as the dsp makes for a great addition to the versatility. Amazing build as always🔊🙉
I love this build. Would you mind putting up the wiring diagram for the speakers for the components you used? Also, I noticed something odd about your filament cleaner in your printer. It just doesn't look right. It really doesn't seem to be doing it's job. Like it's too low.
That is definately not a normal experience you have with the X1C. This can happen sometimes if you do a multicolorprint but maybe once or twice a day there is a poop landing in the chamber if you have a print that takes several days. But there is a fix with the silicone wiper of the Bambulab A1.
even the hexibase is not always about 3d printer, but..... the most transparent 3d machine reviewer.... not like other 3d printers reviewer that only make toys and benchy, hexibase make usable part and multidays printing result and problem....
Take a look at some of the makerworld designs for improved nozzle cleaners, that should help. Also echo what others said about using support material only for interface. That's why they only come in half spools! And lastly, i'd also set up the prime tower so the entire outside perimeter is done in one color only, as when support material is used there it can easily cause the tower to be rough, which then creates debris stuck on the nozzle.
Personally I don’t have this much trouble with my x1c. I don’t do massive tall multi color prints like the cause I know it can be a pain but I have done some small multi color prints and love them. It does poop a lot. You can tweak that in the settings some if you want to make it poop less (I did). The color changes you did seem to be where it was causing problems, I’m not sure on that because again I don’t multi color prints often.
We need more content lol . How about a mid pod for the spark with 3" dayton reference and tweeter . If not what would you charge to make a couple of 3d printed pods to put on my dash .i would love to have so.e done .i have a few ideas .
Another great project. Great printer, you must have had a unlucky model or made a mistake somewhere in setup. I have made a couple of your projects and this one looks amazing as well, but the drivers and 50 hz are not exiting enough to try this one. Well, maybe ill try to remix and try to fit your previous bandbass in this enclosure, instead of simple passive radiator setup.
I'd like to see how a Prusa Mk4S or the Core One does with the MMU (multi material unit) for these kind of prints. No printer poops with those machines, just a wipe tower!
That's wild with the poop getting back onto your bed! (Wow that is an eyebrow raiser of a sentence) I like many others it seems in the comments have never had these issues after thousands of hours of printing. I do not believe I've ever had a layer shift. I may have once or twice seen a single filament poop not fall down the chute, but never like you are showing. Maybe you solve this later in the video, but I hope you look into that more! Like everyone else is saying in here - they are super reliable printers and I hope you'll get to take advantage of that reliability after that gets fixed! Loving the video so far!
As someone who sees prints lasting longer than 5 hours as too long, this video is extremely impressive 😂 mad respect man

Wow, literally yesterday I was thinking that BL should send you a printer so we could get an awesome feature build for it. What amazing timing!
Tempting to build, but have not printed anything in 3 years due to health but this may be my comeback build for sure :) Rock on man!!!
Thank you very much, i enjoy every project you two do together. Amazing ideas, amazing team(work). NICE!
Sir, I love the flow o f your videos, opening music and so on... This is too good. Thank you for all this and keep on.

There are printable replacements for the poop scraper, some using included components, some using aftermarket stuff. You're not the only one who has issues with it, brother. Cool project, though. Looks great.
YESSSSSSS!!! And I have the X1C so this build will fit, Ty!! Also very odd.. I've had mine a year and i do see the poop issue here and there, but nothing like your dealing with.
Instead of using brass inserts you can also recess a physical nut into the print for your threads. Basically make a space for the nut on the last layer before printing over the space, pause the print and insert the nut, then print over it. It’s way stronger and you would have a hard time stripping that out vs the brass inserts which easily strip out.
I’ve had a p1s for a few months now and while I love the printer clogged poop chutes has been my only issue as well. My first print was a catch bin like you. It always clogged so I run chuteless now and I’ve been good
There's a few prints for blocking off half of the purge chute on makerworld and it works phenomenally well for fixing the problem of waste purge being dragged back into the chamber. There are also some that upgrade the wiping area for better nozzle cleaning using a wiping piece from an a1. I cant speak for the help of the second one because I haven't made it yet but the first one makes a noticeable difference.
You're not the only one lol. You just need a larger bucket and print the nozzle wiper from makerworld and uses the A1 rubber finger pad instead of the stupid one the X1 and P1 models use. Also, avoid grid infill at all cost with a Bambu unless it's a requirement. Gyroid is your friend. Something with grid always causes nozzle dragging.
You're a good sport, Sophie.(
There is a mod for the X1 that uses the wiper that the A1 uses.
It will drastically reduce the issues with the nozzle dragging the waste on to the print bed.
Ah sweet, JVC boomblaster! Still have mine, the bigger brother one!
The X1C poopchute is probably the weakest part of the printer. There are upgrades to move it to the A1-style silicone brush scrubber rather than just the teflon wiper. I haven't needed to do this, though. Mine has been printing nearly non-stop for months with zero issues.
Especially since this was sent out as a sponsored spot, I'd contact Bambu and have them fix that for you.
I suspect some part of your nozzle wiping mechanism might not be working right. I'm not a Bambu fan (I'm more into the Voron side of things), but even I haven't really seen any others online have such a hard time with the remnants. I'd probably talk to Bambu about it if I were you :)
Aside from that, have you seen the chair-mounted multichannel speaker setup thingy shown off an CES? It's called Colo GCS and it seems too expensive for what it is and a prime target for a DIY 3d printed rendition. It would be amazing to see you take crack at it, plus I would be very interested to hear your insights into surround sound setups!
Excellent project absolutely love this. I am also a 3-D printer person with Bambu printers. Although I have had an occasional poop land on the bed, it rarely happens, which is why it kind of surprises me how and why it’s happening so much on their flagship printer of all printers. I’m assuming this has something to do with using the Support material as well because there are some temperature changes. I’m assuming they have to go up and down on it and there are probably some slicer settings that would definitely help with this. But again bravo excellent I would love to build this. Excellent job.❤
Thanks again fhis video! A real candy!
I've got 3600 hrs on my x1c and around 1000 on a p1s with loads of color changes. I'd have to say that your issues came from the petg. That material loves to stick to the nozzle and the wiper on the x1c doesn't do that well of taking care of that particular filament type. Maybe look into some of the wiper mods that utilize the a1 series silicone wipers. If you plan on continuing to use so much petg.
As a side note, look into changing your support material type to only interface layers, as this will save tons of time and support material
The specialized support material is only made to be used on the interface layers between support and print and not all of the supports. Using it only on the interface layers reduces the amount that gets wasted from purging. Alternatively instead of using expensive premium support material, if its just PETG, you can use PLA as the support interface and vice versa using PETG as support if printing in PLA. PETG and PLA don't stick to each other so you can set the Z distance of the support to 0 for a perfectly smooth bottom and better dimensional accuracy on overhangs.
I've not had many problems with multicolour, but I've also only used PLA and ABS. PETG is much stickier and have had it stick to nozzles on several machines. The large number of colour changes just increases the chance of an issue. There's probably a reason Bambu's newer printers have a different nozzle wiper.
I've had that issue with petg if I had printed pla previously that had stuck to the nozzle. (after some cleanup it worked fine)
But other than a minor thing here and there i've loved how well it prints vs my old creality machines.
More time printing less time tinkering and modding.
I do hope their next products kick it up a notch.
I play bass guitar and your videos have always had me wondering about the possibility of printing modular speaker cabs sort of like what Phil Jones does with those tiny drivers he uses. Another great video, thanks.
Espectacular, me encantan estos proyectos!
Had my X1 a few years ago, yes the shoot clogs and the the little swiper does not knock off the filament all of the time. It changes temperature between swaps and cleaning. There are mods for the wiper, but they seem to intriduce new issues or require modded firmware. I tend to suffer thru prints and get to it when i get home from work. The machine automatically shuts nozzle temp down until you can manage the fix
Cool project as usual
The common consensus is grid infill can cause issues like layer shifts with the bambu printers gyroid is the go to
maybe you two could make a "tier list" for best sound/feeling for all the speakers you have made. Maybe sort them by size and power or only mix all of them and list them
You dont actually need the expensive support stuff. PETG is the perfect support material for PLA and vice versa. They dont stick at all to each other and they're both cheap.
And as others have said, you can save a lot of filament changes if you use the support material for only the interface layers.
I'm surprised your X1C was acting up, my A1 Mini has never had those problems (I know it's a different printer, but their both Bambu Lab).
This looks like an amazing printer. It would be great replacement for my old inoperable Ender printers
Man you never cease to amaze me in your builds and how you challenge yourself and the printers. I’m also pretty amazed that is only took 3 18650s what the total run time at reasonable volume?
yeah... i;m totally gonna make this
if i remember correctly the poop leftover while printing could be because of the PETG itself aaaand the wiper thing not being tall enough. someone printed a new one which was a bit longer and i think it worked well, but it comes with higher friction
That is such a cool project and design!
But jesus, I would not have stuck around to babysit that print for that long with those problems.
This is definetly not a common Bambu Lab Printer problem, I own and operate several.
Also some tips:
The flushing of filament when a filament-change is occuring can be set in Bambu Studio ("flushing volumes" in the filament settings),
which by default is way to high.
Color to color would need maybe 220 (unit), color to white maybe 360, but I have used less.
Bambu Studio likes to set it to double that, which is just too much waste.
The Support Filament you use does not have to be used for the whole structure.
Print supports with the normal filament you print with, to avoid irregularities in dimensions and such.
Then use the support-filament at the top of the support, the part that touches the to-be-supported print.
Therefore using MUCH less of the support-filament.
The printhead doesnt seem to hit the lever in the shute, which would usualy bounce mach and forth when the nozzle is wiped.
There are "brushes" you can print or buy from Bambu Labs, which are common on the A1 and A1 Mini, that are very good ar wiping the nozzle clean automatically when installed in the back of the printer and setup with some g-code to to so. That could be a common solution some people have made for their Printers.
Maybe your fan is running while you flush volume?
Which would have the filament harden up and stay on the nozzle while the printer tries to wipe it away.
Maybe the temperature of the nozzle changes while it triesl to flus / wipe?
Overall a very nice Project!
One of my new years resolutions is to try to build some cool stuff this year, like you did here :)
thank you for the inspo!
i strongly suggest you print a new poop solution. think i tried the most of the ones available and ended up making my own :P
its a basic chute that morphs from a rectangle to a tube at a 27.5 degree angle. i fitted a standard ventilation duct and cut a hole in the table to feed the duct through into a plastic storage box. i had this setup running for about 40kg petg, and completely spoiled myself by never checking it. it backed up from a pile in the box all the way up to the purge zone 😅
for your "poop in print" issue i suggest you fine adjust the wipers height by shimming the dark grey plastic divider wall inside the chamber. the sweetspot i found is so it baaarely touches the nozzle. the more it flexes the more it smears and throws the purge. i have had two poops in the chamber with multimaterial prints of ca 3 of the 40kg period.
dont waste time going down the rabbithole of x1c wipers.. i was lost there for almost a year before i just sat down with coffee and watched it do its thing. 😉
5:44 I wonder how long it would be on the prusa xl 5ool. I may have to try .
Hexibase any day I have a chance to watch your newest RUclips videos is a great day . I'm so happy feeling like I'm walking on sunshine 🌞
The X1C nozzle wiper is not a friend with PETG.
I have a P1P and have started having these exact issues recently.
You're not the only one we all have the problem there's a mod with a pad from the A1
I do not own an X1C but I have never seen or read about the problem you are facing anywhere else. I am sure it can be fixed with some troubleshooting or get in touch with support.
I think its partly the filament. While yes it happens that the poop blob gets pulled out the chute it normally does not happen as regular as in your print (on my machine). Its a rare thing for me but I have never used high flow filament.
I would say the filament issue would be down to something you are doing differently because we have three of these and don't have any issues.
Its pretty crazy you're having those issues with the x1c. I've got that printer, never had that issue at all.
Regardless, I know what my next build will be lol
Nice build and sounds good on my pair of JBL charge 5's.
I would love to see a 1980s boom box
Your poop chute likely triggered the first crash and it likely messed up the wiper. With the wiper now offset a bit, the ability to clear out the purges was reduced dramatically.
Anybody have any issues with the dayton audio board? Ive had 3 KAB230 boards just stop working for unknow reasons. The blutooth still function but im guessing the class D amp portion gets fried. I really want to like these boards as the dsp makes for a great addition to the versatility.
Amazing build as always🔊🙉
I love this build. Would you mind putting up the wiring diagram for the speakers for the components you used? Also, I noticed something odd about your filament cleaner in your printer. It just doesn't look right. It really doesn't seem to be doing it's job. Like it's too low.
We use the X1C with AMS at work without the issues that you've had. Try contacting Bamboo. Could be something specific with yours 🤷♂️
That is definately not a normal experience you have with the X1C.
This can happen sometimes if you do a multicolorprint but maybe once or twice a day there is a poop landing in the chamber if you have a print that takes several days.
But there is a fix with the silicone wiper of the Bambulab A1.
even the hexibase is not always about 3d printer, but..... the most transparent 3d machine reviewer....
not like other 3d printers reviewer that only make toys and benchy, hexibase make usable part and multidays printing result and problem....
Take a look at some of the makerworld designs for improved nozzle cleaners, that should help.
Also echo what others said about using support material only for interface. That's why they only come in half spools!
And lastly, i'd also set up the prime tower so the entire outside perimeter is done in one color only, as when support material is used there it can easily cause the tower to be rough, which then creates debris stuck on the nozzle.
Personally I don’t have this much trouble with my x1c. I don’t do massive tall multi color prints like the cause I know it can be a pain but I have done some small multi color prints and love them. It does poop a lot. You can tweak that in the settings some if you want to make it poop less (I did). The color changes you did seem to be where it was causing problems, I’m not sure on that because again I don’t multi color prints often.
I love my little Bambu A1 AMS
Never seen the poop issue, but I think you may have something in your nozzle, making the filament come out a bit sideways instead of straight down.
I would love to see you modeling this beast. What modeling software did you use? Great job!
try changing your filament flow ration to 1.02 and turn off the fan speed and see if that helps
I have not had any issues with poop blockage on my X1C.
We need more content lol . How about a mid pod for the spark with 3" dayton reference and tweeter . If not what would you charge to make a couple of 3d printed pods to put on my dash .i would love to have so.e done .i have a few ideas .
Another great project. Great printer, you must have had a unlucky model or made a mistake somewhere in setup. I have made a couple of your projects and this one looks amazing as well, but the drivers and 50 hz are not exiting enough to try this one. Well, maybe ill try to remix and try to fit your previous bandbass in this enclosure, instead of simple passive radiator setup.
I'd like to see how a Prusa Mk4S or the Core One does with the MMU (multi material unit) for these kind of prints. No printer poops with those machines, just a wipe tower!
That's wild with the poop getting back onto your bed! (Wow that is an eyebrow raiser of a sentence) I like many others it seems in the comments have never had these issues after thousands of hours of printing. I do not believe I've ever had a layer shift. I may have once or twice seen a single filament poop not fall down the chute, but never like you are showing. Maybe you solve this later in the video, but I hope you look into that more! Like everyone else is saying in here - they are super reliable printers and I hope you'll get to take advantage of that reliability after that gets fixed! Loving the video so far!
when I had a printer that was not enclosed I used petg a lot but now I have x1c i use abs or asa for my outdoor strong stuff way better
