I’ve designed commercial equipment, and built them as well. I should feel as though I can just start using something. But I always read the manuals. You never know when there a gotcha somewhere that you will only find out from the manual. The more complex the equipment, the more important the manual is. I’ll tell people something else. Often when a “creator” throws the manual over their shoulder while making some pithy comment about how they don’t need it, after the take is shot, they pick the manual up and read it. Yeah, it’s not cool here in the states to admit you should read manuals. But you really should.

Another Wisconsinite here. Awesome video. I have had my Bambu x1c since April. I preordered a Prusa MK4. Was told they were in stock and then later was told I would have to wait until June. I cancelled my order and ordered the Bambu x1c and had it to my door in 4 days. I couldn't be happier. One thing people over look with the AMS system is the ability to use support material and print another material. I have had near flawless prints with it and have saved me many hours of detailing prints later. I came from an ender 3 pro and could not recommend a Bambu x1c anymore. Keep it up enjoy it. Wish my GF would get into this hobby as well!

Fun video. Good intro to 3D printers. It’s definitely not as easy as the manufacturers want you to believe. One note that makes Prusa better than almost all the rest. The support they offer is the best in the industry. Trade off is sometimes speed. We use fans to cool the plates for 10-15 minutes before removal of items(usually. lol). You’ll get a feel for it. Try not to bend the plates too much. The item should just come off the plate easily with no effort. Also. Only use glue if you are getting peeling off the heat bed. Very rarely. Watching the video I almost said it looks like a support PLA. Much more costly. So use it wisely. ;-) Lastly. For your parts for the shelves. Use PETG instead of PLA. Much stronger and harder filament. PLA is good for modeling. Generally if you are going to paint it. Slow and steady wins the race in 3D printing. Consistency is the key. I tried not to Mansplain. Good video..

I'd say that it's your first printer makes it all the more important. It's really easy to assume that everyone has the same knowledge base even if you are trying specifically to avoid that bias it really can be difficult to judge your target markets knowledge base. Honestly I really enjoyed the pov of a newcomer to 3DP but not a novice with tools.

Great review. Probably worth noting that it's also not a good idea to mix material types & brands in the same print. Especially relevant if doing multi colour printing. Bambu uses a slightly different formula of PLA that can be printed quicker. So something to watch out for when also doing speed prints with other filament brands. Lastly, always worth refreshing the glue stick after each print especially for the area that was just printed on. This also helps to reduce objects sticking... :)

Support pla is design for supports, it breaks away easier than regular pla would. I also believe it’s water soluble so you can dunk it in water to get them to separate better. If you see those crazy prints with like roots all over them and they pop those off those are the supports. I haven’t done anything like that yet.

@RichFreeman

Жыл бұрын

The "Support for PLA" material is a breakaway support for PLA. The composition is proprietary but it is analogous to Polysupport breakaway material. It isn't soluble as far as I know, but I haven't actually tested that. It does break away from PLA very easily. Note that this only works well with normal PLA. If you get some "pro PLA" materials and other variations on PLA it may adhere - often those materials mix in TPU or other materials to increase the tensile strength and bendability of PLA, and that can make them adhere to some support materials.

It looks like you may have forgotten to use a glue stick on the cold plate as recommended by BambuLabs - I think that's why your model's bottom got stuck to your build plate

Its too bad, with that big spool holder they don't have two hot-ends where you can have one nozzle print support material and the other prints the model. Then you can do soluble supports.

Hey guys! Congrats on the printer! - Those spools that come with… are they all Bambu's reusable spool thingy? I'm about to pull the trigger on one of these, and I don't want to buy too many of their accessory reusable spools, if the thing already ships with 3 of them. Thanks!

It is definitely overkill for just PLA.

If you're just printing PLA then the P1P does get you everything you need really, at least for single color printing.

Brand wise, I've always used Polymaker filaments. Filaments are a heavily unregulated industry in terms of safety so I wanted to talk to one of their materials engineers (coming from a materials background myself) and someone surprisingly contacted me back and we had a good discussion on the safety aspects of their materials and how to deal with PLA's, PLA+, etc.. (because who knows what the heck the additives in the plus is).

Just found this video as i'm researching the X1c myself. I do have another printer. Don't know if its mentioned in other comments but PLA+ generally requires HOTTER temperatures vs standard PLA+

12:31, you can change seam settings.. scar begins only if there is nowhere to hide the seams.. maybe change parameter to random. Bambu Studio, click preview and watch all the seams and etc.. if you're happy with it.. hit print button. My 2 cents~ Oh, others already mentioned that.. I'm late in bandwagon. :D Fun episode, keep it coming! 😎👍

Thanks for the tip!

I have had 4 3D printers over the years and mostly use a hobbyist and like to tinker. Now I want one that just works (no tinkering just maintenance); on a budget of course lol. So, I am going to wait and see what other competing products start to appear on the market.

@@TwoMooseDesign Hello week ago i bought a P1P Yeah it do not have enclosure but ots incredible, it is better than MK4 but a lot of cheaper, If you want to print with PLA/PETG/TPU and other materials which do not need enclosure P1P is the way... its cheaper but its printing with the same speed. But with P1P you dont have touchscreen, but i always use bambu app so i dont need it also it do not have lidar but i watched a lot of review and i tried it lot of time myself and the bed leveling is such a good that you dont need a lidar

Same with me - I had 5 hobbyist chinese printers (Enders, Anycubic...) it was fun, but required a lot of work to make it work right.... Then I bought Prusa MK3s and it was WOW - now it works every single time. So now I understand why printing farms use Prusa Printers... they simply always work. Bambu labs is also fine, but their priority is speed but I am more into print quality and affordability.

I don’t think they’re overly loud. My wood shop tools and dust collection are loud which Is why I wear muffs. Would I sleep with it next to my bed? Probably not but wouldn’t say it’s loud lol

Put the finished print and plate in the freezer after printing so the cold contracts differently and the parts just fall off with a lite touched.

I've had about 10 different printers so far (last one was Prusa MK3S/MMU2S) and the X1C/AMS is by far the easiest and most consistent printer I've used. I really liked my Prusa, but this is much better. I assume the MK4 will be much better as well, but at this point I have no reason to try it. I do have a multi-head Prusa XL on preorder and I expect that to be a great printer (much more expensive, so it better be! 😀) My guess is I will keep both the Bambu and Prusa and just use whichever one is best for the specific print job.

Maybe get a metal scraper for lifting parts, bending the magnetic sheet like that will put too much stress into the print and delaminate the layers. Try letting it cool before you remove it from the pad if you don't already. Personally I use a wet wipe to clean the pad before printing, because oils from fingers, and a very sharp slash cut tungsten steel 3mm rod for removal. I also watch the first 3 layers print and then check every 15-30 mins. Welcome to 3D printing, and shouting "WHY?" :)

You should not have to use glue stick for pla. Not sure on the print board that comes with that but prints should come off the board way easier

You can use Magigoo adhesive for easy stick AND release after the print. This layer goes a long way and acts like insurance to your 3DPrint. It's water-based too, so it won't smell and is easy to clean.

IKEA uses large 3D printers to manufacture furniture. I was also impressed to see an auto maker using a humongous 3dP to spit out fenders, hoods, doors, etc.

hatchbox is a really good brands keep using it if you want

Lidar only detects issues with first layer adhesion. The 'AI' feature is there to detect spaghetti prints and not all types of failures. I would say it's more of a gimmick than an actual feature. You could also set up your own 'AI' print failure detector; there are a few open-source software options out there! Use a PEI-textured plate; it doesn't need any glue.

As a tip, dust/wood dust is the enemy of the printer. Dust on the print surface leads to sticking problems.

In my experience the amount of gluestick you used could also be a problem. With PLA you often dont even need any. Thats more common for more challanging Filaments like ASA or PETG.

Maybe an unpopular opinion but honestly I believe the P1P is better than the X1C. The only downsides are the camera quality and connectivity but like even the lidar is not a major difference. Seeing as how most people print with PLA, this is literally way more convenient than the X1C. The textured PEI plate is great imo (it has amazing adhesion and I personally like the texture it leaves). For $699, it is unmatchable.
