Thanks for all the info and tips, Ian! 😊 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Totally green beginner here. Thanks so much for the tips!

Regarding “Support for PLA”. Could you consider producing a video explaining when and how to use it please?

Having had a printer before I skipped ahead a bit when I got my A1 Mini, I loaded the AMS Lite up with four Bambu PETG spools and I've had a great experience printing my own models right from the start. I've had very few issues and when using the Bambu filaments I trust that they have tested and tuned it correctly. My machine is currently 63% through a 14 hour print with 3 different colours of PETG and it's working perfectly. A couple of times I've had a blob of filament stick to the nozzle and get in the way of bed levelling, resulting in a spaghetti mess, would be interesting to know if you had the same. It could be an issue specific to PETG and its tendency to string.

Excellent. Thank you !!!

Can confirm they have stopped shipping the glue stick with the P1S w/ams combo.

Thanks for review Ian. In your opinion what is better - P1S or A1?

Great advice. It's nice to see some tips for folk who have just purchesed their 1st printers. Please continue a with series of videos. Remember watching loads on my old ender doesnt seem as much advice for the bambu.

Bloody brilliant... I'm waiting on my printer to arrive and for the life of me I haven't a clue so all these tips were very welcome... got yourself a new sub for sure

Great one cause my p1s is still in its box after that long journey with the free spools. Too much work on the 2nd solar roof and first diy battery still to be done. But I like these tips a lot I have not heard of before in this compressed version. And I love that you do not just talk but also show things you mention, cause that will help to stick in my brain like you washing the plate. The average yt would not have shown it on camera. that is the extra mile you are going on. thanks a lot.

I personally found that the X1C is a bit too fast on the first layer and it does not stick. I had this problem especially small parts, bigger parts aren't a real problem. I'd recommend to everyone maybe turn their first layer speed down a bit for better quality.

My prints on the white pls were always falling. I thought I got a bad spool but this makes so much sense now lol

Good video. Much appreciated-- most of it was review, but I haven't done 3D printing in some time. The Benchy on the X1C is-- ridiculous. The only flaw I could find was the layer line on the hull where the printer changed gears, so to speak.

thank you for the video, can we combine pla and petg and glow in dark filaments in ams?

What a timing, i just got my A1 today. And doing some test at the moment.

My X1C came with a textured PEI plate, so maybe the newer ones ship with that now instead of the cool plate. Didn't come with a glue stick either. I'm a simple man and I just use hairspray on my modded ender 3 v2 PEI sheet if I need more release like with TPU or PETG

Great stuff. I have a creality cr10s .But I'll be buying a Bambu lab p1s combo. All the best Jono 👍.

on my prusa for the glue to be thin and really equally: i used to put glue like you did then pass on simple paper towel wetted with hot water and it leraves only a really tiny layer just like if it wasn't there

I recently purchased a P1S with an AMS and it included a Textrued PEI plate. I only processed this plate with isopropyl alcohol and started printing. The first prints were fantastic! The prints I did were with Bambu labs PLA rolls. After about 30 hours of printing I used another PLA manufacturer to print and then the problems started with the first layer on this PEI sheet. Cleaning with isopropyl alcohol no longer helped and I made adjustments to the profile. To this day, the prints no longer stick... do you have any tips? Keep up the good work! And I love the content you make :)

@2:10 - the "Support for PLA" ("Support W" on older packages) is not intended for printing supports, this is missleading - it is intended for only printing solid support interface layers for PLA prints you can easily swap it out for PETG and print the support interface with those, which is much cheaper

I tried to remove my first roll of TPU and it got jammed inside the extruder! I hit the remove button but IDK what happened. I had to take the extruder apart to get the broken TPU out. I did notice there is a cutter on the side. When do we use that? Thanks

Any chance you can compare the sound between the P1S and X1 carbon... I'm sending my A1 back for recall, but looking to get a P1S or X1 instead but my printer is is in a spare room but is situated next to my son's room, So I don't want it too be affecting him while he's sleeping. I'm desperately trying to find out how the sound compares too the A1 especially with the new sound suppression system. Also how much is the sound reduced while printing in silent mode if at all? Thanks for anyone who can help me.

@chitlitlah

This is a bit late, but I just got a P1S and in silent mode, it's just a bit louder than a typical paper printer. While my washing machine was running in the next room, it was louder than this printer. I wouldn't want to try to sleep in the same room, but I think I'd have trouble hearing it through a wall.

I have the XC1 and it's pretty quite but don't especially do a knocking sound every time it changes the filliment. Also running it at 50% slower speed makes it very quiet,

I would add don't load soft filaments like tpu in the AMS. I made that mistake precisely one time too many

no need- Bambu says what not to use with the ams

Why not sprayglue it?

Interesting video apart from it being repetitive throughout. Interesting when you mention the Glue stick and I have to disagree. If you allow the build plate to cool down properly the part will come off without issue. In fact with the Bamboo printers I personally have never needed a glue stick or 3d Lac. As another user mentions if the part has a small footprint reducing the speed on the first couple of layers will sort out any issues. In fact the Bamboo range have been the absolute best for bed adhesion and release, it just works very well. Sorry for the criticism and having a different opinion but its important that people can see both sides of the coin ;-)

I got the gold plate with my p1s and they do not include a glue stick

FYI denatured alcohol does not leave residue. Thats why its used in electronics.

please can you tell me can any kind of glue stick be used thanks 😁

Big advice: ONLY USE GYROID INFILL i had many nozzles broken due to immature wear and break because other infill patterns tend to overlap which causes premature wear.

I can see exactly how the filament that's meant for supports ends up being used accidentally to do an entire print. Beginner just sees "SUPPORT FOR PLA", and thinks "Oh! This is the filament that I need... it says PLA supported." This could probably be very easily prevented by Bambu lab changing the wording or adding some extra warning text, "DO NOT USE THIS FOR A FULL PRINT."

Glue stick does give bed adhesion on any bed type, people use carbon fiber build plates to print with and you have to use glue stick also if you have a wham bam build plate using glue stick help with adhesion as well as removal. Glue stick has been used for years by 3d printer user's before we had PEI OR PEO type bed we used glass beds that was a pain in the ass to get prints to stick and if it did you might pull glass of with the print so glue stick is for adhesion and removal the only thing is it messy and for PEI Build plate using iso alcohol is a good choice in cleaning pei build plates you need 99% iso tho, yes washing once and awhile with brand name dish soap is a good thing to do and i know all this because i own and have run a 3d printer shop for the past 10 years selling and maintaining consumer machines to industrial machines. And you might see or be told to use glass cleaner like Windex to clean your build plate i found it works some times and most time not but if you are printing with a PEX build plate it works really good as a release agent on theses type of build plates.

The Line on the Banshee is similar to a ships bow. At the line the Printer is change his flow and temp settings. Thats not a reason of printfail

1. The AMS will NOT use the SUPPORT FOR PLA filament unless you force it or for the P1 case, they move the position of the filament. 2. Use Magigoo or the Bambu Labs Liquid Glue instead of the 3d Labs Hair Spray, There is ways to damage the build plate Putting too strong of a glue WILL make the bed stick too well and in terms of the Cool Plate Literally Strip the coating off the bed. Unless your printing slowly some prints WILL get lift off the build plate due to the speed and vibration of the printer. 3. He is correct, the pre-sliced files are only for PLA and for the benchy ONLY for their PLA which is the high speed PLA, so it can also fail on regular PLA (I should Know).

1) the AMS will use any filament you tell it to use - if you don't tell the slicer you want to use a different filament for the support interface layer it does not use it - you need to specifically set it, since the support structure and support interface default to the default filament under "Filament for Support" setting 2) after 1250 hours on the textured PEI plate and 3DLAC i can confidently say: it does not destroy the build plate ;)

Hmm... My experience with 3DLAC (the one shown here) is that it prevents PLA sticking too much and make it easy removable, while at the same time is sticky enough to give a perfect first layer. This is of course with a heated build surface (around 50 to 60 degree) while printing, and taking off the build plate (for fast cool down) when finished printing. Once cooled down the printed object pops off easily. This worked on many "difficult" build surfaces that otherwise let prints stick too hard or not at all (like the standard magnetic surfaces that come with many Creality printers). I have used 3DLAC for years now, and it's cheap and last a long time. I do around a year or more with only one can, and I print an average amount of objects. You only have to apply it only every once in a while. Certainly not with every print. Removing is easy with some lukewarm water under the tap, but in general I just let it sit on the plate unless or until it makes the plate uneven, and the plate has to be cleaned up. It's certainly better than some "standard" hairspray. I tried the latter one several times, and it was messy disaster every time. I am not a lover of glue sticks, because it dries out very fast, loosing effect in the process, and leaves a ugly residue.

Your skin (hands) contain oils... so don't rub your hands all over the build plate like he's doing here, unless your hands are squeaky clean and oil free. It's best practice to handle by the edges as much as possible.

I still wonder that 100 gave a thumbs up and I bet the first 2 viewers had not there glasses on and hit the thumbs down button while aiming for the thumbs up. cheers
