@@Arne.Bornheim The touch screen for the P1S that Bigtreetech sells is absolutely fantastic. The connectivity to the printer is seamless, the UI is great and it is perfectly functional. I also recommend getting carbon fiber build plates, I have personally tested them and they have excellent adhesion and the print surface looks great. This hack is absolutely a case by case scenario but I keep a few x1/p1's on a large turntable I made so it's easier to access the back of the printer but if you have enough space, it's easier to just space the printers out enough that you can access the back of them. Anti vibration feet you buy or make are also nice if you want to cut down on vibration Also a suggestion for you may be to use clear acrylic doors instead of the tinted glass. I use this myself so I can keep everything closed and still get great photos/videos from an external camera. I haven't seen clear acrylic or glass doors online for the p1/x1 so I had to laser cut them myself but it was worth it.
@@Arne.Bornheim Overall I have simply just had less issues with the P1S printers. Less print failures, less accidental pausing by the Bambu camera AI, lower price for the p1, and after the hot end and extruder upgrade it's a nearly identical printer.
Thanks for all the great tips! Definitely agree that the P1s is the best choice for most people. Especially with some upgrades! Carbon fiber plates sound interesting. Will have to try it 😊 I like the idea with the turntable but the whole shop cart is on wheels so I’m good there! Like the laser cut new window. Do you have problems with reflections? Probably a thing many people would love to buy 😉
So far no problems with reflections, I put the lens directly up to the acrylic door and have a ring light that illuminates the printer from above and since I use a carbon fiber build plates, I don't get much light reflection from it so it works perfectly. I also forgot to mention, I completely agree with the unnecessary addition of the Bambu logo on prints people design. It's not a huge deal but it is unnecessary. @@Arne.Bornheim
Totally agree about the time and filament wasting Bambu logos on accessories! I’ve modded designs to remove the logo when I couldn’t find a version without it.
Nice! How did you connect it? I just saw that Bambu also sells their own light strip right? I saw some other videos with people using third party light strips and wiring it into the mainboard which looked sketchy to me
I also have a riser and connected the LED light to a usb socket that gets power from the original LED on the mainboard. This way it turns on and off with the app. So far it works even if bambu doesn‘t recommend high current LED strips for the daughter bord that carries the power.
@@TheChriss1301 yeah that's the part I was worried about with it eventually causin problems. I saw that there's an official light strip from bambu though and might give that a try
I think people add the logo for one of a few reasons: 1) They really enjoy the bambu brand and want to celebrate / be part of it 2) It enhances the idea of manufacturing "real" parts yourself. By putting branding on it, its more like a professional product 3) Similar to 2, it makes it seem like the parts are part of the official product and people want to maintain the aesthetic
thanks for the insight. I understand it on some level but honestly not everything of the original parts is branded. But hey I fully understand it's personal pereference. 😊
@@Arne.Bornheim yes that's fine too. I did it with some things also to see how the multicolor would work and look like but without saves you alot of time :)
Great video, Personally don't own a bambulab ( wish I did haha ) but your very entertaining to watch yet chill in the same regard which is really nice!
Personally, I add the logo on my models for identification reasons. I have a hard time with losing stuff, especially small tools. So having identification markers that this tool is what I'm looking for and what it is to be used with this product/ material. For example, I made a tough box with a Bambu Lab logo on top. I printed it with white and red PLA +. It is a box that will not be around high temperatures, should be able to be beaten around a bit, but most importantly the red Bambu Lab logo tells me that box belongs to my printer in case of emergency. Like an emergency kit would look. That is my personal reason and I got the idea from Adam Savage a long time ago but other than that I actually prefer no branding, even on my clothes lol Also, just a tip, I would recommend not storing objects under the printer itself. As the Z axis belt, tensioner, and exposed idler pulley. You don't want anything rubbing against this stuff, dust, and/ or having accidental chemical exposure to the belt itself IE IPA commonly used. I found that the belts and idler pulleys are the Achilles heels of these machines but if properly maintained, that work flawlessly.
Alright that's definitely a point that I can understand! For many mods, that go inside the printer I don't though haha And thanks regarding your recommendation with not storing stuff under the printer. I have the anti vibration feet installed so the printer has lot's of clearance and i think I'll be ok
hey man thanks for the timelapse mod, I definitely have to try that out! For the splitter, I highly recommend the one from Bambulab. Also consider to upgrade the nozzle wiper if you print something like PETG since it has a tendency to not get wiped properly. (although i also get this problem with PLA sometimes). The nozzle wiper from Svenkrause works amazingly well, and you’re in Germany so you can just easily buy it from them👍🏼
interesting point with the y splitter from bambu. I couldn't find it though 😕 do you mean the 4in1 splitter from the A1 or is there a specific y splitter? also will look at the nozzle wiper!
On my x1c every connection has glue on it and I notice not all of them have the glue on ports. Do you have that and do you know how I can remove it? I think thats my biggest down point for bambu. Putting glue on everything. How can I cjange the hot end if every wires connection has glue on it? For me the nozzle wiper also didnt work for botj my printers. Alot of times it just wouldn't cut but than after the update it cuts perfectly on both. I think they changed the cooldown time before the cuts.
If the glue is in the way you might consider just removing it with pliers or push it off with a pen... But please make sure only to do it on the right connections. You need to take out 3 of the connectors to change the hot end. Some other connectors are for other stuff and stay in. And cool to hear the nozzle wiper mod works for you!
Sometimes bamboo makes some contest and people put their logo there I'm guessing to have more chances to win even though it doesn't even change anything.
I can agree with most of those but that desiccant holder at 5:00 is a terrible thing to print, so many retractions, there are much better versions available, vase mode versions are way nicer to print. My purge container is just an arbitrary square food container with 2 magnets to stick it in place, those chutes waste space on my countertop. Liked the DSLR camera mod and the extra lights are mandatory if you want decent video files, thanks for including those. I see another on Thingiverse: Spiral Vase Desiccant Box for Bambu AMS by ThomPerry63.
Do you have a specific dessicant holder you would recommend? this one printed fine for me and I'm happy so far :) In terms of the chute: yeah it's honestly whatever works i think haha I'm definitely looking at extra lights in the printer. maybe for an upcoming episode...
Agreed. I tried it multiple times in PAHT-CF so the dessicant can be dried without taking out of the holders, but there were so many retractions it kept breaking the filament. I printed the SPILLPROOF GRID AMS Dessicant pods Round and the pods may not be as large, but they print great and way faster.
@@Arne.Bornheimcan’t post links here (comment is auto deleted) but as the other commenter mentioned, the SPILLPROOF ones are both recommended by Bambu Lab (there’s a maker supply “kit” for it now) and allow air from the AMS to reach the hygrometer without passing through desiccant beads like the one you printed does. They are narrower in part because of this, but also allow insertion and removal while there are spools in the AMS, for max desiccant usage there’s a double-up option as well on all of the listings. There’s 9 designs of the SPILLPROOF boxes for various popular hygrometers #shamelessplug
@@Arne.Bornheim I suggest “Vase mode desiccant holder for the Bambu Lab AMS” by mortalwombat. Found it on Printables. I know there are one or two others but I didn’t save those. It’s important to remember that you want a large area of desiccant exposed to the air in the AMS to be most effective. A layer in the back holders need not be thick so a thin holder there would also help. I “recharged” my green desiccant pellets back to yellow in about 15 minutes I’m a toaster oven in a tray. My temperature was set to 125 degrees C. Put them in when it’s already warmed up else they get toasted by the direct heat when it heats up from cold.
Really nice video. Especially the timelapse mod seems interesting for me. Do you recommend to place the printer on a workshop trolley? I am currently searching for something similar to securely place my printer but haven't decided yet. Currently its on the floor which is not that nice ;)
Thanks a lot :) ! in terms of the workbench: it still introduces wobble in the printer, since I dont have the wheels locked off either. That being said I have no problems with printing :)
People putting Bambu logos everywhere because these printers looks premium and people don't want to attach something to them that will disrupt their looks.
@@Arne.BornheimI just added those a few weeks ago. I can’t decide if they help or hurt the print quality. My table shakes less, but the printer itself vibrates like crazy now!

I personally run, maintain, and upgrade a fleet of over 45 p1s/x1's. My number one tip is to get the p1s. Its honestly a better printer.
Respect that’s a lot. What do you think makes the P1s better?
Also do you have any upgrades or things that you think are missing from the video?

The Y-Splitter can be bought from bambu store. I would recommend this as i had problems with printed ones that the filament did get stuck.
Thanks for the info! could you either comment or send me a link? I couldn't find it on the website
I printed 1 in pla and 1 in petg. For me it went perfectly so maybe the tubes got bend?
Bambu labs makes a 4 way splitter for $4.99, it is definitely worth the buy vs the print and it screws on to the back to secure it.
Didn’t know that, thanks for mentioning it!
ah but then theres the wait for shipping.
Thanks for mentioning this! Definitely a good idea!

Colored logos make the print look more fancy. Thats probably the reason xD

The reason most people put the bambu lab logo on thier models is to give it more popularity
why do you think this adds popularity? I'm honestly asking... I was always searching for the model without a logo haha
Is your job 3d printing/modeling
No I’m mainly a freelance videographer but I spend a lot of time on these videos 😊

yeah but the printer doesn't have a logo on every part... To me a grey PLA matches the printer way more than a green logo
@@Arne.Bornheim that's a matter of personal preference. Some people just go a little bit overboard with branding their parts 😄

Those are the anti vibration feet from the official bambu store 😊
