This was a nicely edited view, @LenDizzle. People hear horror stories of ABS when printing indoors. You show the print timelapse, but it would have also been good to see the setup and the environment in which you printed these parts. I built a special hood that goes over the X1 printer and vents out the window.
Hi Len. I just got my first roll of ABS after giving up on ASA (warping larger prints). Thanks for this video. Is the drying of the filament necessary even with a brand new / fresh spool? 🙏🙂
Hello, I'm doing a print with ASA and I have a new spool that just came in still sealed, would I need to dry it before printing with it? What do you think? Thanks for the video!
4:25 Why do you cover your spool ? When you dry something you want a good airflow around it. Would you cover your clothes when you are drying them ? Would you put your clothes in a bag when you are drying them ? Opposite. You put them in a windy warm place. Outdoor if the weather is sunny. The biggest airflow the better. A closed small room is not good at all.
ABS is dangerous, but not in small ammounts. Heating up plastics to 250c is inevitably releasing things not meant for breathing. Breathing in large ammounts will inevitably be unhealthy. Thus, reducing it is healthy. This is undeniable. Living in the workshop is ridiculous and inevitably unhealthy. But going near the printer isnt exactly going to kill you. Nor is coming into the workshop and working a bit. However, if you expect to sit around next to 4 printers printing ABS, sanding, painting and gluing things for hours in and out in your workshop - you must have good ventilation. No, it's not a "nah it's fine! I have done it for years so its fine" kind of situation. Breathing oxygen and drinking water is what you are made to do and you are worse off without it. Drinking coke is bad. But drinking one coke isnt deadly. Drinking coke instead of water every day is deadly in the long run. Same deal with ABS. Ventilate and dont spend hours on end next to the printer. Dont place the printers in your bedroom. It's not dangerous if applying common sense. People are so scared of ABS fumes. RIghtfully so, but also ridiculously so in many cases :P
no glue or nothing? i just tried printing abs on the texture plate, a small bracket for my hultafors libella. it was a disaster. should i go for the non texture plate and use magigoo or what? ii have zero experience with abs, but i really badly want to print with it.
Couldn't you have stacked the spools on top of each other to do both in the same 8h? Or is that no recommended? I'm brand new, just looking into buying the Bambu Lab X1C and am watching your videos to learn what I'll need.
Thanks for the video. I am looking forward to creating some custom kitchen drawer containers for flatware. I have been trying to find filament that would be safe. I read that most filament is either toxic or not safe because bacteria can occur. Have you ever tried printing anything food-safe ?
Theorically, PETG is food safe... HOWEVER, additive printing will leave small openings where bacteria can grow even if washed. To prevent that, you need to use epoxy resin to cover your print. Prusa has a good video on the subject.
You would be better off 3d printing mold templates to make out of silicone, and then using those silicone molds to make your parts out of a food safe resin
I ran into that same problem, but it was because I had to select that type of filament since I have been print PTL, just add the correct filament in this case Generic ABS on the Bambu Lab X1-C or it will not select either, also don't forget to select the correct Plate Type as well that was my second problem. Easy Fix.
@@lendizzle77 thanks for the quick reply, much appreciated! I meant in terms of (absence of) artefacts, quality of the bridges, overhangs and just overall ease of print, especially with more complex parts. For instance, PETG tends to not print as well as PLA, often showing more artefacts, sometimes surface imperfections etc. - it’s just overall a more challenging material to get consistent quality prints with, especially with complex parts. I hope this makes sense! Any feedback would be very much appreciated 🙏
My x1 wont print with the abs in the ams. I dried it 8 hours at 80 degrees. Put it in the ams. Then when I select the 3d print after I get to choose the filament to use. Abs is there but its not a clickable option. Do you know why?

I figured it but thanks for replying. I also figured out that ABS on small small little tiny pieces is no good. Its not strong on small pieces. @@luismrodriguez714
What is the speed for printing ABS on the x1c, because i have a russian filament that cant go faster than 40 mm/s on the label so i wonder if i can print it faster on my p1s?
I used to drink from a garden hose and bike without a helmet. I am 77YO now and print ABS with one printer in an un-ventilated basement. All good here (LOL).
ABS is not harmful in well ventilated areas? ABS is releasing styrene. Even in a very well ventilated area you should use filters for that nasty stuff. And not just the X1C default filter.
I print eSun white ABS on an ender3 v2 in an enclosure. I am in a large basement with no special ventilation. I smell nothing. Bad nose? No odor, but deadly? Does it matter; I am 77YO (LOL). BTW, the prints are excellent (250/100C No fan).
@@lendizzle77 Thanks. Very weird. I commented on your video yesterday and this one. Anyway, Modbot had a recent video about adding the BL LED module to the X1 which has lights that have multiple functions. Great option for the extra light you were wanting in the other video. With this mod, there are risers to print for the lid and I was trying to print in ABS but had horrible warping issues. Have you dealt with any warping printing ABS? I was even using a 10mm brim but the parts were just pulling free from the brim.
@@bsimmons00Ive had a hell of a time trying to print with eSun ASA. Have tried all kinds of stuff, but still warps and spaghettis. However, I have had a 100% success rate with the Flashforge ASA (available on Amaxon). Currently printing a shelf for a Wall Control system and it's about to complete without any issues. It's been working great for me!
No more ABS more me / 7 years now - not worth the trouble. Use good old PLA and increase the fill if you want stronger parts. ABS is great for mold injection parts that are made in a flash / abs expands and contracts too quick and I have some models I 100% bet no one could print with ABS.
I have to downvote simply for the thumbnail, you are perpetuating this myth that abs is extremely dangerous, its not! If your ABS smells overly bad, then stop buying the cheapest chinesium filament you can get your hands on. There is a huge difference in ABS smell across manufacturers. In my opinion printing with ABS since 2013, an enclosure is not a "consideration" but a MUST if you plan on printing anything more than a few centimeters high. I really think the Bambulab printers have drawn in many "dunning kreuger" experts. Everybody wants to be a 3D printing youtuber, why not just buy your tool and use it? You have no purpose for it?
You might want to watch the video. I am not sure I could have made fun of that myth any more and really tried to show people not to be afraid of printing with ABS. The thumbnail is sarcastic and playing on all of the bad information you are pointing out to draw people in. Thanks for your feedback.
@@lendizzle77 Don't take ABS?ASA lightly. The full health effects are not known, BUT it definitely DOES cover the insides of a printer with a film, so use it without a fume extractor at your own risk.

holy shit i tried it after i saw this on my other monitor and ill be damned
This video shows a guy printing ABS without any trouble. Nothing more, nothing less.
No tips, no troubleshooting and no settings taught.
What's to master? The first time I used ABS on my P1S I loaded Hatchbox ABS into the AMS, selected the "Generic ABS" profile and it printed perfectly.
agreed for a Bambu P1S (I have one), but many last generation printers are not as good on warping.
Where are the tips or tricks?
exactly my thoughts. that really was nothing useful at all
@@HoozeBead 😂😅
Thanks this comment saved me the time from watching this.
Glue? Build plate type? ABS isn’t sticking to stock for me.
Lmaooooo silly rabbit, tricks are for peepeepoopoo
Thank you for this video. What was the ABS printing temperature for these prints? And was the part cooling fan on during printing?
I use 250/100C and no fan with great results on eSun filament.

ASA warps less
My ASA does not warp. Try another brand. I use both eSun and Bambu. I do use an 8mm outer brim always.
Why use ABS over ASA these days?
Price.
Price, but they are coming down. Otherwise ASA is an improved ABS in my opinion. I use ASA a lot; it is great for UV resistance.
Asa is alot more expensive and its toxic..
Hello, I'm doing a print with ASA and I have a new spool that just came in still sealed, would I need to dry it before printing with it? What do you think? Thanks for the video!

Maybe, so do it.

What did you tune to fix those really bad overhangs that left spaghetti in the air? What settings did you tune?

These are some fine ABS prints!
Is possible use support with ABS?
So no glue on the print bed?
I'd love to know why so many "experts" don't recommend ABS in an AMS. This looks perfect.
where do I buy longer white tunes? with larger inside hole diameter than 1.75? my 4th AMS box is pretty far ..

@@dougbas3980 Where are you getting $2.00 custom designed trays?
Work in bambu lab A1?
Thanks for the video. Well done "Beginners Guide." Just one question though, did you use any glue on the plate?
Not needed on PEI textured plate.
im new to this, did you put glue ? or is not necessary for abs?
Not necessary on clean PEI textured plate. It does depend on the plate type.
Learned so much from your video thank you! What filament are you using? I have BASF Ultrafuse ABS Fusion+ and let us just say no joy.
Bambu filament
I got two x1 carbons. Abs roll in the ams but the ams wont print it. WTF…?

Thanks for the informative video! My biggest question is: how does the print quality compares to PLA?
Depends on what you mean by quality? Looks, strength,rigidity etc…. It is stronger and more rigid but the looks of the prints look similar.

@proastroz5759 ABS or ASA are harder and do print a little smoother. Be careful with warping on larger prints

I don't change the speed. This is Bambu filament and I just use normal settings.
You need to run some tests. Each brand has a top speed. Likely slower than Bambu brand default, I would expect.
dude are you high af 🤣
I used to drink from a garden hose and bike without a helmet. I am 77YO now and print ABS with one printer in an un-ventilated basement. All good here (LOL).
Would be nice if the AMS was able to function as a dry box
Once you dry the filament, the AMS will keep it dry if the dissacant is fresh.
@dougbas3980 i mean as an active dry box
@dougbas3980 thank you
bro is six blunts deep tellin me about dryin filament
underrated comment!! ;)
how high?

No temp settings shown...
Just print a temp tower as you should for all new filaments

indoor models at low temps is fine in PLA. Others want outdoor or higher temp parts. Use the appropriate filament for the task of course.
