Since Bambu has already committed to allowing the custom firmware to be installed in the future, I am fine waiting until the firmware has a functionality I need. Looking forward to seeing what people come up with.

My install was hassle free (via the 3DPN livestream)and the decision to do it was simple. It's more than a year old so no warranty anyway. The already in place benefits greatly outweighed the risks for me, and the unlocked possibilities for community development make it like a cheat code. Can't wait to see what comes from this.

Excited to try this and see the new features. I started to work on this, but need to bind my X1C.

Awesome video! I was waiting for it. Very clear instructions! How do we get others to help write new software and collaborate with others on X1 team?

Great job Michael!😊

Just finished with the install. The latest version. All went well with the exception I have no video in the handy app. The web interface on my PC is show video just fine. After restarting my phone all worked in the handy app as well

I've noticed that the lubricant always ends up down the bottom of the screw anyway, and clogs everything up, leading to errors. I've just had to stop using my printer, due to z-screw errors. I wont be able to print again until I take the printer apart and completely clean the screws :(

Depending on why there is a warning? If the warning is based on the force needed to move the leadscrew (meaning Ampere) the real need might be to CLEAN the lead screws. Lubrication might just worsen the real problem making the filament dust a worse porridge.

@@user-ks5wr2gq3v this is it, throw a rod sloth on there and call it a day. I've opted for using an oil on the lead screws instead of a grease as it's a bit less of a mess.

So, to clarify, I am hoping you will answer my question. I am holding off on updating my printer right now because I might want to switch to X1Plus. Now I can update to the latest official firmware version, then roll back the firmware if I ever decide to install X1Plus?

What's the not lubricating the lead screws thing about? Is there a video about it?

Just so ya know, it's not legal in either Europe or America for bambu to refuse warranty service just because of a custom firmware. They have every right not to fix something you messed up by installing it, but if it's something that would otherwise be covered they must provide service. Of course, whether anyone will take them to court over that is another question, but they are in fact breaking the law if that's their policy.

​​@@LyoishiIf they don't, you can always make a chargeback with your payment card due to the seller's failure to comply with the applicable law and essentially get the printer for free. The warranty is given by the manufacturer/seller, so they can void it, but there is still a "warranty" that the law gives you. In Poland (europe), something like this is called "rękojmia" and neither the seller nor the consumer can invalidate it by agreeing to random terms on a website.

I'm going throw out a big disclaimer. Running any custom firmware has it's own caveats. We are putting a lot of trust in a relatively new group running a device that can run at oven temps. No slight against the devs but please be aware any faults in their code can put you and your printer at risk and they provide zero guarantees about functionality.

@@itsnotthat_ All of the risk is on the user. Aside from people who got free units X1C owners paid at least $1200 for their machines. You are putting your investment into the hands of devs who explicitly say if you Bork your machine "too bad so sad" if you are still under warranty you are actively making it more difficult if not impossible to use it. If I offered you my super special firmware to supercharge your car and I blow the electronics would you be cool because I offered it for free? 🤔 Let's be candid most folks cannot, do not, and will not read or learn to code. They will see videos like this and think "wow this is cool". They don't know what bugs, security risks, or issues running this long term can do. Running a whole OS from the touch screen memory card slot could introduce any number of problems and again all the risks are born on the user. At the very least there should be more time dedicated to warning folks that this is NOT recommended and could be dangerous.

@No0o0o0o0o0

You are taking a $1200 machine and running rando custom firmware because the devs released it for free is not the flex you think it is. Again it runs at oven temps and you are leaning into a "trust me bro" mentality because it is free? How many people tested this? how many devices? What are the security risks? Has any independent security testing been done? Where can we see the audit? Since there could be forks or plugins how safe are they? Since this connects to the net as well what potential issues and servers does it connect to? Is there OTA updates and who manages it? What kind of wear is expected on the memory card or touch screen since you are running a whole OS layer on it? Get the jist of it? Just because it is free, just because the devs seem nice does not negate the potential issues running this. A disclaimer is nice but a warning is better.

So to install this i need to buy an x1 printer!? Wiiidiculous!

I am perfectly happy with the stock FW and so I wont be flashing X1C+. the risk reward factor is just not good enough for me, I won't risk all the money I have paid for this printer just for a few features that may end up on the stock FW someday.

I wouldn't trust guys who turn open into proprietary to serve me a binary that will coexist with 'open' mods.
