Had a really bad clog that required disassembling the extruder and your video made that process very simple for a beginner. Found it when on the step to remove the yellow gear, it would budge. After a while, success and now I can continue printing. Thanks for making and sharing this!
Thank you so, so much. The part to loosen the screw of the cutter was essential, I had the feeling I would force and break as-is. Other videos this part is suddenly moved aside to allow the gears to be removed but none tell you *how* you can move the cutter safely away. Huge thanks and props for this!
Thanks for posting. I’m weighing my options between a P1S and an A1 & this makes the ease of nozzle swaps on the A1 look more attractive for my abilities.
This is a fantastic video. The swap when ALMOST perfectly. In my case, the screw holding the cutter arm was so tight, the supplied wrench started to strip the screw head. I found another allen wrench in my garage that worked great. I made sure to tighten it enough, but not TOO much when i reinstalled it. Thanks for making such a great tutorial!
Highly recommend electronic swabs over the standard cotton ones. They don't shed like normal swabs so no stands of cotton mixed into the thermal compound.
Yes, something other than Q tip. The bambulabs video says to use a Q tip, and I did, but it leaves behind some cotton strings of not careful, seems like not a good thing when the thing is getting so hot.
5:30 The video is missing a part: After putting on the silicone sock, remember to install the fan back on, with the 2 screws. The screw side is the same side the cables are. The fan is also oriented with the sticker side in, otherwise the cable will be too short to connect back at the printer
Just followed your vid to make the swap on my P1S, all steps are identical from P1P. Thanks for posting this. Not sure if the gears are supposed to be lubed or kept dry. The wiki didn't seem to mention this either way, so I left dry for now.
oh wow! That’s good info to know that it’s not just needed for abrasive filaments. I’ll have to order me some more to have on hand here for maintenance. Thanks for the heads up.
interesting I only print PLA, my extruder just starting to have issues at 1021 hours of print time lol. still using the default stainless steel gear on my p1s.
Thank you for the detailed and smooth video! I have a P1S. Are these the same hotend and extruder gear I'd have to buy to upgrade the P1S to be able to print abrasive materials? Thanks in advance!
Thanks for the quick rundown. btw this does not work very well if you have a clog mid print, and you disassemble it on the fly, lol. Layering issues after restart. oh well it was worth a shot
@tripasgarage at 1:38 you are somewhat forcing the cutter lever too much, if you loosen the screw on the cutter a bit more, you will not need to force it. The screw has two positions, loosen a small amount and you can get the cutter out; loosen further and the arm will be able to move further out.
I didn't see anything in the documentation, but ran the standard calibration process anyway. It worked fine immediately afterwards, so I didn't do anything further. I also changed the nozzle type in the Bambu Studio settings, but I think the only difference there is whether it warns you before you run a spool of abrasive filament through a stainless nozzle.
I just wish the there was an option to order it with hardened steel option. I changed hotend without realising extruder needs to be messed with as well. I just want to print and not mess with the thing 😁
I print lots of 30% wood with my stainless steel 0.4 nozzle no problem. What will a hardened steel setup really do? Just last longer that’s all. I’ll wait until it comes time to actually replace it THEN I’ll upgrade. All these recommendations saying you need a steel setup but never has anyone demonstrated exactly the why. My P1S even came with an extra 0.4 nozzle so I won’t be upgrading to steel until both those wear down. I’m not replacing a perfectly good part with the same exact slightly stronger good part just because it’s recommended for abrasive materials. Show me a schematic detailing the difference of how merely feeding different filaments does major damage then we’ll have some actual proof. At worst it’s just the filament dust slowly kicking up and getting into the gears after a ton of hours usage.
Well my original nozzle got clogged eventually so I went extra mile and upgraded the extruder as well. I had to fiddle a bit before I got it to print PETG CF reasonable well. I just don't know if it is possible just to have a machine with pre-sets to print whatever I want out-of-the box. I assume the people who designed and built the machine know about wear and tear hence it comes with recommendations
Hi, for printing wood filament, is the stainless stell nozzle and extruder gears that the P1S comes with, good enough?, or both nozzle and extruder gears needs to be replaced with the hardened steel ones?
I appreciate the feedback and view. Yeah, this is the X1 cable chain. So far I've no issues with it. It's pretty cheap fix and once you buy the parts, you can reference this video for an easy step by step

Recommendation is to not use cotton swab as it can leave fibers behind. And you missed 2 very important steps: 1. After replacing and reassembling, change the nozzle to hardened steel in the menu, in the printer configuration. 2. After updating configuration, run a full calibration test to make sure everything works fine and bed /nozzle distance is reset
While I don’t disagree with you, a recalibration and the homing is a very important step, it just doesn’t have anything to do with physically changing and touching the hotend. It wasn’t missed. I appreciate your feedback. Maybe you can remix this video
@@Fresco272 unplugged from power/wall once, turned the breaker switch off once and removed the power cord from the printer once, Good try though. Thanks for watching and commenting.
People say you should replace both together when upgrading. I think it’s a bunch of hoopla. I’ll be printing abrasives with me stainless steel until it actually breaks down. Then I’ll upgrade. All this part does is feed the filaments and get dust accumulated in the gears and the nozzle endures high temperatures of materials extruded. Steel just lasts longer that’s all.
Don't forget to put the screws back in the nozzle like I did 😮😢 it left a deep gash in the flexible bed. I thought for sure something was going to break when I started the Benchy to test it out. I never moved so fast to unplug the machine. Definitely a mistake but a warning the printer will not give you any warnings you forgot to screw anything in. I wish I had forgotten to plug it in then it wouldn't have started. But it's okay definitely tougher than I thought 😊
@@TripasGarage I bought i assembled nozzle. i was trying to replace the old one with one that was stainless steel. bought a hardened steel afterwards and it went ok. thanks for the video.
Nice but because of your wrong show to unscrew the cutter. I damaged my cover a little bit. Please un screw this god damn screw. You also stretched your cover in video. After all best video but you own me a cover
@@supermanscottyou can switch the nozzle with an Allen key in 30 seconds. Bambu labs run an integrated nozzle and heat break. You can either replace just the nozzle and heat brake (as per this video) or just replace the entire hotend unit.

Are you sure that unplugging the power 3 times is enough? I would suggest to also flip the breakers. Blowing up power plant is also recommended.
@@Fresco272 unplugged from power/wall once, turned the breaker switch off once and removed the power cord from the printer once, Good try though. Thanks for watching and commenting.
What was the part you had on your PTFE tube? Is that something I can print and put in place?
Hi there, it’s only needed if you don’t use a riser. I typed ptfe tube guide p1p. It is something you can print.
Did you replace the entire hotend here? What about just replacing the nozzle only? Or is the entire hotend required to be upgraded?
People say you should replace both together when upgrading. I think it’s a bunch of hoopla. I’ll be printing abrasives with me stainless steel until it actually breaks down. Then I’ll upgrade. All this part does is feed the filaments and get dust accumulated in the gears and the nozzle endures high temperatures of materials extruded. Steel just lasts longer that’s all.
@@TheFutureLooksGrimm yeah makes sense. No need to replace it until you need to replace it.
The white tube on my p1s is stuck on there, pushing on the black collar doesn't seem to release it.
Before you disconnect the power, have the unit unload your filament
I'm assuming this makes the printer able to cope with more abrasive filaments like carbon fibre?
That is correct :)
Don't forget to put the screws back in the nozzle like I did 😮😢 it left a deep gash in the flexible bed. I thought for sure something was going to break when I started the Benchy to test it out.

Are you using the original bambu lab drag chain?
That is correct. Using the chain from Bambu.
Does the x1. Arvin come with the hardened version?
Yes
This upgrade allows to print harder abrasive materials?
Correct
Very helpful video though strange that it’s tagged with “prusa”, “resinprinting”, and “ASA”.
🥰🥰
Hello. Where do I get the white piece, where do I know it is at the entrance of the extruder? Thank you
The heating element? It's from Bambu, it's what heats the hotend.
@@TripasGarage I was asking about the moving piece that connects the hose where the filament enters.
@@CasaTridimensional Oh! I downloaded an STL off printables. www.printables.com/model/350714-bambu-lab-ptfe-guide
@@TripasGarage thanks amigo
can not take the wheel out because a piece of filament stuck , any idea ? : )
Use a hotend screw as a drift on the back of the gear assembly to knock it out from the housing.
Just a few gentle taps should knock it free.
Does this allow the hotend to get to 300 deg C
It sure does just like the non hardened steel one. This one does allow you to use abrasive type filaments.
Does this need to done for every nozzle change?
Depends on what you buy.
You can buy the complete hot end assembly, then a nozzle change is two screws and a unplug/plug operation. Takes less than 30 seconds
Why is there a sticker over the hot end?? 1:09
You’re totally right. Never thought anything of it. Im guessing they’re thinking it’s ok since it’s on the heatsink.
Now it says “cutter malfunctioning” 😔
