I have watched many videos of yours, I was surprised to see you mention my bowden tube splitter. Thanks for the mention. I always like seeing that other people find my parts useful.
Thanks for your contribution and the effort you put into creating it! I look forward to using it once I purchase my printer soon :) Please let me know where I can find more of your designs and perhaps support your creations. Cheers and all the best from Western Australia!
I didn't have anything else on hand, so I tried clear Elmer's glue, and it has never failed. I can print tall objects with a tiny footprint and no brim. Works every time.
I find 3DLac doesn't adhere abs and ASA adequately. Filaform Adhesive Spray have an extra strong variant for a very similar price and works wonders for high temp adhesion
Hi Michael, Just wanted to thank you again. My class just won a competition run by CITB and Makers Empire 3D. It’s a first for me and your videos helped me develop some design sense which came in handy with our solution.
I never had a failed print on my P1S until I tried printing with Bambu's own PAHT-CF (carbon fiber nylon) filament and using their own profile. I lost dozens of hours and about half a kilo of the outrageously expensive filament before finally buying their high temp smooth plate and glue stick. I haven't lost a print since.. I do recommend getting AMS and some of their support specific filament which will help immensely with your parts appearance and the supports are easily removed.
The Bambulab spool switcher & winder is great. I printed it not because I have an AMS or a Bambulab printer but because sometimes the rolls of filaments I use come badly winded. You can use your own hand and no drill. You get better control. And there are a ton of mods for that model, which greatly increases its performance and ease of use.
For super good prints with ABS or ASA I use the following settings on the bambu Lap X1 Nozzle temperature to 260 for the first layer and the remaining layers 270. -max flow of 12 mm3/s -an extrusion multiplier of 1.0 fits better than the default values of 0.95 -fan speed normal layers 20% to 40% overhangs 40% to 60% -Speed for the first layer 75mm/s -110 degrees bed temperature -high temperature board or textured board -For very large prints add a bit of 3D Lac
Thank you for this info 🤘🤘My P1S is shipping and I will print a ton of ASA with it! Assuming it will convert to the P1S; I think the bed temp is max 100° but not positive.
excellent video ive seen a few videos like this. but something about this one really felt very useful. No filler and direct. Keep up the good work. gonna checkout your race channel!
For catching poop chute output, I use a small cardboard box behind the printer. Quick, easy (as long as you have or can find a box to fit where you need), and it doesn't take any filament.
For the Y splitter for the external filiment feeding, I found a version I really like that has an M3 mounting hole so you can remove one of the panel screws and replace it with a longer one, holding the splitter in place.
ABS/ASA on the Textured PEI at 110C bed temp will not warp off the bed until it cools. No stupid release agents necessary. I would not try to flex the plate as soon as the print is done. It will be very stuck on there. Could try anything from 90C to 110C to get the perfect first layer adhesion. I usually take it out of the printer and push the bed down on a glass coffee table to suck the heat away from it if I need to remove it quickly. Takes about 10-20 seconds and it pops right off. I have printed probably over 10KG ABS like this.
It really depends on the geometry of what you are printing. Some objects will be fine, others will shrink as they cool and generate internal stresses that warp the part. Either way the enclosure helps a lot.
I've printed some ASA on my P1P. Used a ASA slurry on the Textured PEI (that side of plate is now for ASA), put the unit outside, covered with a cardboard box. Internal temperature approached 50C for hour long printers. No worries.
Vision Miner's adhesive is amazing. I use it for work, where I just don't have time to mess with iffy first layers. I've been trying to tell people about it for years!
For using the glue - simply make an X with the glue stick, then spray on some IPA and wipe the bed with it. This will leave a residue that works perfectly and after the print, you simply spray IPA on it again and it's good for another print. That way you only have to apply the glue stick every 4-5 prints. It's shown in this video ruclips.net/video/XpHkPJgKkew/видео.html
Ive printed ASA on glass by using a trick id seen for ABS, I have a jar that i have melted scraps from failed ASA prints with acetone, brush a thin layer down onto the bed, removes pretty clean and I haven't had any issues with adhesion.
The PTFE bracket is a nice thought, but with my X1C it hits the top of the casings rim when going to the far corners. A break failure of the toolhead is for sure a large warning.
I just got a X1-Carbon and its my first 3D printer. I've printed quite a lot of dessicant spool holders that screw together in the void space of the spool. I printed a cable management panel for the AMS hub / buffer at the back of the machine but found I had to remix it quite a lot to allow the cable and tube disconnect tools to work when the panel was installed. I'll try printing the PTFE print head guide as my tube rubs on the top glass panel. Currently printing some AMS dessicant holders for the front of the AMS where there is 3 significant voids. Instead of printing a Y splitter for the back of the machine, and having to find the screw-in fittings, it seems that Bambu sell a 4-way splitter on their website for $5 AUD which is normally used on the A1 mini and also works as a Y splitter.
@14:43 I have watched now about 10 t0 12 videos and no one has mentioned this filament dryer feature. I agree, I would probably use different seals on the glass top when using this feature but still what a great option that’s part of the printer.
Two more mods to add to the list are Hydra AMS (updated parts to allow for alternate spool sizes including 3DXTech 1kg spools) and Adjustable Spool Holder for Silica, both by humebeam.
I hope the print head guide really works. I've been having pull back fails for months now, for every AMS print it stops several times, so I'll try that soon.
smooth PEI is the way to go. easy and no adhesive required like textured PEI, but has a lot more grip, but as long as you let it cool first, it detaches after the print like normal. the best I've ever used in any printer is my smooth PEI from prusa
My smooth pei are a huge PITA. I can't get anything to stick regularly. I clean with dish soap multiple times, I tried upping bed temp which seemed to help for a while but then it stopped working for some reason. All I'm using is pla.
Just a heads up, Dimafix works very good but the adhesive comes off with the print, it doesn't stay on the bed. This means constant re- application. Vision Miner Nano adhesive has slightly better adhesion that Dimafix, the biggest advantage is that it l stays on the bed after the print releases instead of transferring the print, this means you can make it last a VERY long time, just spray a little isopropyl alcohol on the bed to reactivate the nano polymer. It's good stuff
When using a glue stick I also give the bed a spray with IPA(or Ive used metho) after I applied some and a wipe with a paper towel (not enough to clean it off) can give the bed a nice coat, basically turns to like what the Dimafix looked like
Use a paper towel and ammonia. It will evenly spread old glue stick residue and you don't need to apply more. Reuse the paper towel and the residual glue can be used for many prints. Only a little ammonia is needed.
Assuming that is the same thing as the xTouch, I came across that by accident looking for printer mods, surprised I haven't seen a video on it at all. Especially when you see so many p1p/s reviews where the biggest complaint is the interface.
With a Y-Splitter for the filament, the AMS didn't work anymore properly. The filament load and unload and sometimes it feeds as it should. When the Splitter is disassembled, the system works as it should.
Had my X1C for a few weeks and I get that retraction error after every 3rd print or so, after it’s done printing though. 95% of the time, tapping Retry fixes it, but it’s almost always been related to my use of smaller 250g spools with an adapter that moves the rollers forward, or a modular spool divider with a filament clip that gets jammed in the side wall gaps. I’ve started to remove the clips before inserting a spool into the AMS, and reapplying my small 250g spools to modular divider spools that are full height and fit in the Bambu reusable spools or a remix of it.
Have you tried LOKBUILD. I used on a build plate that needed the surface replaced works amazing. Pilled the old one off and had LOKBUILD from an old printer. Cut it to fit. Added a QR code. To me, it's way better than the bambu lab replacement.
All ya gotta do to wash the engineering plate is run it under hot water for 1/2 a min and it melts all the gunk glue off then I spray some dish washing spray on it and a few quick wipes it looks brand new.
My AMS is being fed by a Repkord box so I do not. How ever in most cases you are correct. I like the Repkord box because it has a Golden rod which keeps the filament nice and dry. The down side to this setup is spools don't automatically roll back up. The up side is I can use 3kg rolls and my filament stays dry. To each their own. Oh huh I just looked at their website they no longer sell the rods hmmm...
I bought the plate and love the patten after printing! The only annoyed thing is because it's a textured PEI plate, the big fan is really noisy during each print...
Since we're on the topic of closed system 3d printers, it would be great if you could do a video on how to calibrate them and their dimensional accuracy!
Would be great. But prusa machines really aren't super affordable or multicapable for their price. If they could do high temp, be enclosed, air filter, chamber heating , etc without charging a crazy amount, that would be great.
I got a free PLA plate from Bambu to test out. Has a satin finish, and requires no glue, PLA sticks incredibly well when printing, and releases easily when you want to remove the print. Not a single failed print so far, can highly recommend buying one whenever it releases, the cool plate is comparatively trash
@@DisorderedArray They sent me one for free to test out months ago. And sent a questionnaire a month ago to give feedback on the plate. If they still haven’t released it, then I assume they’re in the process of creating the next version, hopefully it releases soon, because it’s been really really good so far
It is easy to use the gluestick on the bed without making it a big mess. I made a video how to apply it. Search for "bed preparation bambu lab" and it will be the first result in the list. Works great, no mess, no markings on the bottom. Let me know what you think of this...
btw the glue actually washes so neatly with just water, it's a bit amazing how easily it washes off - try it :) - I prefer the cold plate now, the textured pei gave me a bit of trouble with non bambu filaments or the lidar.. black on black doesn't work all that great
Do you have any experiences how sturdy such a peo plate is? Another tip, if you could call it like that, is that wiping the coolplate with IPA will reduce the initial bonding strength. You need to go up on the temperature, but you can use it after that, without the need of glue stick.
I'm surprised you didn't include the CHT nozzle upgrade. CNC Kitchen is the only big channel I've seen cover it, but he focused on print strength improvements rather than speed results. You did a lot of work to get your RatRig speedboat under 10 minutes and it'd be interesting to see if you could now beat your time with just a stock Bambu + CHT nozzle. A channel called BenSol has a 6:13 Benchy on P1P but I think he used Lightning infill so not a valid time for comparison. Since print speed is a major selling point of the Bambu printers, a fairly cheap and easy upgrade than can push it even faster (especially with 0.6mm nozzle) should be a popular upgrade.
I have got the failed to pull out the filament from the extruder errors or 3DP-00M-706. I will try this print and hopefully it fixes my issues, every time I have checked the tube going to the extruder it's been clear of filament. I think if it's not this the filament sensor in the extruder is faulty. I tried to use my build plate that looks just like yours I am going to call PEO and even used the textured PEI build plate in Bambu Studio but it seemed to be to far from the build plate when my X1C tried to print the first layer. It seemed like even though I chose textured PEI plate it tried using the lidar to scan it. One mod you didn't mention that I have to get done is the X1C LED lighting controlled by the BL LED controller and not only does this give you added lighting but the X1C can control the LEDs along with give you status indicator, red you need to address an issue or green and your print is complete. ruclips.net/video/3IA5vlClTug/видео.html
Man, I'm tempted to buy one of these simply because Dora Ding, the support rep from Fokoos went to this company... Since she left Fokoos support has all but died. :P
MY Bambu Lab X1C + AMS experience: I spent damn near every penny I had saved up on one - HOPING that everything would work, and I'd be able to do the prototyping and parts that people in my hobby where asking me to do.. I get the setup, get everything set up - annnd - failure after failure after failure.. after failure. Non stop back and forths between customer service - before they finally caved in and recognized that I was in fact sent a [Very] defective printer. *Unfortunately* they required me to send Everything back to them. After a week or 2, I get the replacement setup, set that up, and to my amazement [sarcasm] it actually worked as it should. BUUUT - Non Stop F'ing Failures from the AMS!!!! Every Single Time I [Try To] Use It - It Fails. Sometimes it loads - Sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it pulls the filament back - Sometimes it doesn't. ***This makes multi color printing IMPOSSIBLE and wastes over Six Feet of filament Every Single Time. It's infuriating.
I just use the textured pei sheet for ASA works great for large prints. Also a better winder is the pastamatic on printables. the other is a work of art but finicky
If you want to use glue stick just wipe it with a damp cloth after a liberal coat. This turns it into a very thi9n and even layer just like that liquid use used.
Thank you for this video. I was envious of your ASA print. I've been trying to get a large ASA print to work, but it pulls so hard that it actually lifts the build plate. Any suggestions? I'm looking at clips now, but thought you might have a solution. Thanks in advance.
There are SO many clever people out here, that got so much knowledge. Why have NO ONE suggested swapping out the mainboard on either P1P or P1S with a better one? Then we could have: 1. Wired LAN Connection 2. Touch Screen! 3. Away, better Webcam. 4: You name your thing here I know this can be done, it could be done on those Ender 3 and many others, so why not this one?
Strange to never clean off the glue stick when it just requires a brief rinse under warm water. I understand the hassle of applying it but removing it isn’t hard and only has to be done after multiple prints most times.
Edit: it seems to be fixed in latest firmware update :) I purchased PEO/PEI sheet, but I can't get good adhesion. It seems like it will not create good "squish" of the first layer if bed sheet is not recognized. I tried high temperature plate option and also textured PEI option. Nozzle is always too high for good first layer on that sheet. I know I could alter start gcode and lower nozzle by setting offset, but I will not do that as I'm often switching plates and I'm sure I'll forget to turn that back. Or maybe that's forced by bambu lab...I don't know.
Hey Rich, I was just trying this print this morning and can't seem to get that PEO carbonfiber plate, is that what you tried? Did you have any luck with it?
@@TheOgres3DForge hey Big! Yes the black PEO side. Most of the time I get successful prints. A few times however, bed leveling is confused because a small amount of filament is stuck on the tip of the nozzle. I suspect that "handle" where the nozzle is cleaning/wiping before leveling, is just too smooth to clean it properly. I always keep eye on that. Make sure you have updated firmware on printer and bambulab studio and select textured sheet, and wipe with alcohol of course.
I just got OrcaSlicer the other day and am loving some of the features but having issues. Do you have any walkthroughs for it or recommend any? Not really finding anything on my own.
Michael try the Slice Engineering desiccant that is way more powerful than the gel silica. I put it in the center of my spools inside my PolyBox and keep the humidity extremely low
I have watched many videos of yours, I was surprised to see you mention my bowden tube splitter. Thanks for the mention. I always like seeing that other people find my parts useful.
Thanks for your contribution and the effort you put into creating it! I look forward to using it once I purchase my printer soon :)
Please let me know where I can find more of your designs and perhaps support your creations.
Cheers and all the best from Western Australia!
Your splitter seems to no longer be at the link in the description.
Could you give us a new link to the tube splitter? The old link appears broken.
The best adhesive I have used is 3DLAC! Spray on and use on cool plate or hot plate! Best product ever!
I didn't have anything else on hand, so I tried clear Elmer's glue, and it has never failed. I can print tall objects with a tiny footprint and no brim. Works every time.
I love 3dlac too. So easy.
I find 3DLac doesn't adhere abs and ASA adequately. Filaform Adhesive Spray have an extra strong variant for a very similar price and works wonders for high temp adhesion
@@MrStolenakount 3dlac has two variations too, i use the 3dlac plus for abs and Asa and it works wonderfully for me.
Only needed on Bad plates
Hi Michael,
Just wanted to thank you again. My class just won a competition run by CITB and Makers Empire 3D. It’s a first for me and your videos helped me develop some design sense which came in handy with our solution.
I never had a failed print on my P1S until I tried printing with Bambu's own PAHT-CF (carbon fiber nylon) filament and using their own profile. I lost dozens of hours and about half a kilo of the outrageously expensive filament before finally buying their high temp smooth plate and glue stick. I haven't lost a print since.. I do recommend getting AMS and some of their support specific filament which will help immensely with your parts appearance and the supports are easily removed.
The Bambulab spool switcher & winder is great. I printed it not because I have an AMS or a Bambulab printer but because sometimes the rolls of filaments I use come badly winded.
You can use your own hand and no drill. You get better control. And there are a ton of mods for that model, which greatly increases its performance and ease of use.
For super good prints with ABS or ASA I use the following settings on the bambu Lap X1
Nozzle temperature to 260 for the first layer and the remaining layers 270.
-max flow of 12 mm3/s
-an extrusion multiplier of 1.0 fits better than the default values of 0.95
-fan speed normal layers 20% to 40% overhangs 40% to 60%
-Speed for the first layer 75mm/s
-110 degrees bed temperature
-high temperature board or textured board
-For very large prints add a bit of 3D Lac
Thank you for this info 🤘🤘My P1S is shipping and I will print a ton of ASA with it! Assuming it will convert to the P1S; I think the bed temp is max 100° but not positive.
What's wrong with higher flow rate?
Before winding maybe insert the filament into a ptfe tube you can use to hold on to instead.
excellent video ive seen a few videos like this. but something about this one really felt very useful. No filler and direct. Keep up the good work. gonna checkout your race channel!
I don't even own a bambu lab printer XD I just like watching videos about 3d printer. (just sharing)
For catching poop chute output, I use a small cardboard box behind the printer. Quick, easy (as long as you have or can find a box to fit where you need), and it doesn't take any filament.
eggo waffle boxes fit nicely and are cheap

For the Y splitter for the external filiment feeding, I found a version I really like that has an M3 mounting hole so you can remove one of the panel screws and replace it with a longer one, holding the splitter in place.

I do the same. I just wipe the IPA around with a clean hand until its nicely smeared all over and even.
When you said IPA I thought you were talking about beer. Good thing you added a link to a video! :)
Just stick glue + water
Ive printed ASA on glass by using a trick id seen for ABS, I have a jar that i have melted scraps from failed ASA prints with acetone, brush a thin layer down onto the bed, removes pretty clean and I haven't had any issues with adhesion.
Abs slurry is a really old and effective trick, but too messy for me.
Thank you Michael, Great video as Always.

PEI sheet works on TPU, PETG, PLA, ABS.. all have printed out amazing on my P1P.
I still swear by using Aquanet hairspray on the bed. Seems to be the most easy to apply and reliable method
smooth PEI is the way to go. easy and no adhesive required like textured PEI, but has a lot more grip, but as long as you let it cool first, it detaches after the print like normal. the best I've ever used in any printer is my smooth PEI from prusa
Textured pei doesnt need an adhesive ya nob it aint a cool plate.

There is a PET variant for the PEO sheet that works really well for nylon. Not mentioned for w/e reason though on their page.
My go to waste chute solution is out the back straight into a trashcan

All ya gotta do to wash the engineering plate is run it under hot water for 1/2 a min and it melts all the gunk glue off then I spray some dish washing spray on it and a few quick wipes it looks brand new.
just got a P1s today. very first print that is printing now as I type was the poop chute.
You're missing the AMS Hydra Mod. It's awesome!
Desiccant holders for the AMS are a "must have" if you own an AMS.
My AMS is being fed by a Repkord box so I do not. How ever in most cases you are correct. I like the Repkord box because it has a Golden rod which keeps the filament nice and dry. The down side to this setup is spools don't automatically roll back up. The up side is I can use 3kg rolls and my filament stays dry. To each their own.

Great stuff. Thank you :)
Would be really nice to hear your thoughts on the FLSun V400.
Excellent content
I just subscribed to the new channel. You should make a project on turning round smartwatch displays into cool digital gauges.
Since we're on the topic of closed system 3d printers, it would be great if you could do a video on how to calibrate them and their dimensional accuracy!
I expect the Prusa will counter Bambu, especially in the printing speed area, while maintaining an open system for the community
Would be great. But prusa machines really aren't super affordable or multicapable for their price. If they could do high temp, be enclosed, air filter, chamber heating , etc without charging a crazy amount, that would be great.
I got a free PLA plate from Bambu to test out. Has a satin finish, and requires no glue, PLA sticks incredibly well when printing, and releases easily when you want to remove the print. Not a single failed print so far, can highly recommend buying one whenever it releases, the cool plate is comparatively trash
Is that new? I didn't see it the last time I was on the bambu store.
@@DisorderedArray They sent me one for free to test out months ago. And sent a questionnaire a month ago to give feedback on the plate. If they still haven’t released it, then I assume they’re in the process of creating the next version, hopefully it releases soon, because it’s been really really good so far
Aquanet hairspray has worked great for me for adhesion issues. Although, I only use PLA for now
very helpful!
I'd like to see a comprehensive ABS printing session with this printer.
I find that 3DLAC glue spray is works well with ot gunking up the plate like the glue stick.
simply print the spool weight and fill them with silica....better than all the little packages and adds weight to a near empty spool in the AMS
It is easy to use the gluestick on the bed without making it a big mess. I made a video how to apply it. Search for "bed preparation bambu lab" and it will be the first result in the list. Works great, no mess, no markings on the bottom. Let me know what you think of this...
Damn I'm early, Have a great day Michael!
Very helpful video
Thank you - still trying to work out if X1C or go the cheaper P1S - but your videos are great and help out a lot.
Hi. I ha the same issue, but the black friday sale helped me to pick X1C and I don't regret it.
btw the glue actually washes so neatly with just water, it's a bit amazing how easily it washes off - try it :) - I prefer the cold plate now, the textured pei gave me a bit of trouble with non bambu filaments or the lidar.. black on black doesn't work all that great
I mix gluestick with IPA and it thins it out with similar results to the one you use for ASA on the engineering plate
😃Thanks!
Do you have any experiences how sturdy such a peo plate is? Another tip, if you could call it like that, is that wiping the coolplate with IPA will reduce the initial bonding strength. You need to go up on the temperature, but you can use it after that, without the need of glue stick.
Try something called a Tidypen to clean the residue off the plate.
THANK YOU

You did a lot of work to get your RatRig speedboat under 10 minutes and it'd be interesting to see if you could now beat your time with just a stock Bambu + CHT nozzle.
A channel called BenSol has a 6:13 Benchy on P1P but I think he used Lightning infill so not a valid time for comparison.
Since print speed is a major selling point of the Bambu printers, a fairly cheap and easy upgrade than can push it even faster (especially with 0.6mm nozzle) should be a popular upgrade.
Magigoo is my preferred bed adhesive
I have got the failed to pull out the filament from the extruder errors or 3DP-00M-706. I will try this print and hopefully it fixes my issues, every time I have checked the tube going to the extruder it's been clear of filament. I think if it's not this the filament sensor in the extruder is faulty.
I tried to use my build plate that looks just like yours I am going to call PEO and even used the textured PEI build plate in Bambu Studio but it seemed to be to far from the build plate when my X1C tried to print the first layer. It seemed like even though I chose textured PEI plate it tried using the lidar to scan it.
One mod you didn't mention that I have to get done is the X1C LED lighting controlled by the BL LED controller and not only does this give you added lighting but the X1C can control the LEDs along with give you status indicator, red you need to address an issue or green and your print is complete. ruclips.net/video/3IA5vlClTug/видео.html
at 13:50 you can use the ERCF spoon
For the bracket, is that the best orientation to print for strength? I feel like it would be stronger on its side. Just a thought
From what I can tell, the only people with breakages in the comments on printables printed it on the side. I agree this seems counterintuitive.
I printed mine in asa vertically using default settings and it broke right away. Re printed in PC and its fine.
Hi Michael, as usual you excelling here, can you make the same video for the K1 in one or two month from now …? 😅
I'm actually surprised someone hasn't modded the AMS to sit on top of two of the eibos dryers, without their covers.
Man, I'm tempted to buy one of these simply because Dora Ding, the support rep from Fokoos went to this company... Since she left Fokoos support has all but died. :P
Great video! Very informative. Can you do one for the P1P? Or at least point out which mods apply to both? 👍
MY Bambu Lab X1C + AMS experience:
I spent damn near every penny I had saved up on one - HOPING that everything would work,
and I'd be able to do the prototyping and parts that people in my hobby where asking me to do..
I get the setup, get everything set up - annnd - failure after failure after failure.. after failure.
Non stop back and forths between customer service - before they finally caved in and recognized that I was in fact sent a [Very] defective printer. *Unfortunately* they required me to send Everything back to them.
After a week or 2, I get the replacement setup, set that up, and to my amazement [sarcasm] it actually worked as it should. BUUUT - Non Stop F'ing Failures from the AMS!!!!
Every Single Time I [Try To] Use It - It Fails.
Sometimes it loads - Sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it pulls the filament back - Sometimes it doesn't.
***This makes multi color printing IMPOSSIBLE and wastes over Six Feet of filament Every Single Time.
It's infuriating.
Browsed around and found a poop chute that has a detachable tray. So no need to pick up plastic by hand or remove the chute altogether.
I just use the textured pei sheet for ASA works great for large prints. Also a better winder is the pastamatic on printables. the other is a work of art but finicky
The RFID chip does not include any details on pressure advance on the x1 carbon, the auto calibration on the lidar does that.
For the filament School Transfer I was expecting some kind of reverse feeding into the AMS system and pressing the unload Button 1000s of times
what food dehydrator is that that you're using?
If you want to use glue stick just wipe it with a damp cloth after a liberal coat. This turns it into a very thi9n and even layer just like that liquid use used.
Why don't they add a heater and fan to the AMS to dry the filament?
Do you have a video on your food dhydrator setup? I searched your channel but haven't found one.
How many times can you re-dry a spool of TPU?
There is another new kind of PEO PEI bed sheet which leaves color holographic embossing on the layer surface.
Where is this magic?
@@BradKwfc it can be found by searching for Colourful Starry PEY PEI Sheet
@@BradKwfc I've tried to post the vendor several times , but comment gets deleted
@WaffleStaffel Awesome thank you!
Thank you for this video. I was envious of your ASA print. I've been trying to get a large ASA print to work, but it pulls so hard that it actually lifts the build plate. Any suggestions?
I'm looking at clips now, but thought you might have a solution. Thanks in advance.
There are SO many clever people out here, that got so much knowledge. Why have NO ONE suggested swapping out the mainboard on either P1P or P1S with a better one?
Then we could have:
1. Wired LAN Connection
2. Touch Screen!
3. Away, better Webcam.
4: You name your thing here
I know this can be done, it could be done on those Ender 3 and many others, so why not this one?
Your voice reminds me of richard ayoade from IT guys haha
Strange to never clean off the glue stick when it just requires a brief rinse under warm water. I understand the hassle of applying it but removing it isn’t hard and only has to be done after multiple prints most times.
Edit: it seems to be fixed in latest firmware update :)
I purchased PEO/PEI sheet, but I can't get good adhesion. It seems like it will not create good "squish" of the first layer if bed sheet is not recognized. I tried high temperature plate option and also textured PEI option. Nozzle is always too high for good first layer on that sheet. I know I could alter start gcode and lower nozzle by setting offset, but I will not do that as I'm often switching plates and I'm sure I'll forget to turn that back.
Or maybe that's forced by bambu lab...I don't know.
Hey Rich, I was just trying this print this morning and can't seem to get that PEO carbonfiber plate, is that what you tried? Did you have any luck with it?
@@TheOgres3DForge hey Big! Yes the black PEO side. Most of the time I get successful prints. A few times however, bed leveling is confused because a small amount of filament is stuck on the tip of the nozzle. I suspect that "handle" where the nozzle is cleaning/wiping before leveling, is just too smooth to clean it properly. I always keep eye on that.
Make sure you have updated firmware on printer and bambulab studio and select textured sheet, and wipe with alcohol of course.
I just got OrcaSlicer the other day and am loving some of the features but having issues. Do you have any walkthroughs for it or recommend any? Not really finding anything on my own.
RYOBI drill? have some pride Man
Michael try the Slice Engineering desiccant that is way more powerful than the gel silica. I put it in the center of my spools inside my PolyBox and keep the humidity extremely low
I could not fine the engineering pate on Bambu's web site. where could I find it?
Have you any newer X1C mod videos?
Just got my P1S last night but cannot find the printer via orca.
Pro tip for glue residue, don't use IPA it bakes it to the plate, use plain water, let it settle and scrape off.
Seems like either Orca Slicer defaults to 2 loops or maybe it imported my defaults from Bambu. Either way, it’s set to 2 automatically.
Are you able to use the Bowden tube Y splitter and the AMS to print in 5 colors?
