Now I'm trying to get it back to where it was previously - it looks like maybe I need to log in to the printer via the 'handy' app or something. If that fails I will try reinstalling it. I repeat - what a shit show. ETA: I managed to restore the prior configuration, using the 'handy' app - and I'm now doing a print job. While restoring the connection in Bambu Studio it prompted me to install the updated network interface .zip file that I had previously downloaded and unzipped according to the LAN-only instructions - not going to attempt LAN-only again, because who even knows whether that would run into the same problems - since the instructions in the wiki evidently are not matched with the current operation of the system. Have I mentioned this already? What a shit show... |

So I just got the E3D ObXidian hot end. What do I to tweak to make it do its thing? I had assumed I could choose a new hotend in the slicer but I'm not seeing that's do I need to tweak the volumetric setting in every material I use?

Has anyone done any multcolor prints in ABS?

An atomic spool will fit above the around-the-side poop chute I printed.
But in general if I'm not using the ams, I'm printing a material that needs to be in a dry box or dehydrator set off to the side. I forgot about the spool holder on the back until I cleaned the poops that missed the chute yesterday. |

Yesterday I found out a pretty big difference in ABS’s when I ran some prints with Inland ABS.
So far I have burned about 6 spools of Bambu ABS with one print being almost 14hrs. In that time I have seen my air purifier read a maximum of maybe 4-5ppm during prints. I actually thought maybe it didn’t really work, but the room never smelled like ABS & the only time I would really smell it was when I’d retrieve a print right when it was done. Last night I did a print with Inland ABS that was about 5hrs. I went into the room at about 4hrs & it had a slight smell of ABS so I checked the air purifier & it was reading 19ppm. I opened the door for a second to have a closer look to make sure it hadn’t separated from the plate & the fumes about knocked me out. I cant believe how much of a difference, as far as VOC’s are concerned, there is between the two brands. I’m getting the Bento box wired up tomorrow & I’ll run some more prints with the Inland ABS to see how much it helps.

View Quote I've tried some pei from amazon, and most are not great. One was bad enough that I used it as a host for another cool plate sticker I had, which worked very well. I like having a cool plate separate from the engineering plate in case i want to run something in PLA, but don't want to wash the engineering plate yet. |

Printer arrived, just set it up, and it is playing the song of its people (calibration). Mine came with the textured plate, no engineering plate.

P1S bros, a quick reminder for me please?
Do you have lan-only mode? ETA: nevermind, that was easy to find. Yes you do. |

I have to out myself as a dumbass.
Had a little piece of filament get stuck in the extruder. Followed videos, pulled extruder and cleared it. Put it back together, everything worked, except one thing. Every attempt to switch filament failed with a “failed to pull back”. Lots of troubleshooting, bypassing PTFE tubes / couplers. Nothing helped. Finally figured it out - when I put it back together, the filament cutoff blade missed the slot and laid up alongside the arm. Yeah, if it can’t cut the filament, it can’t pull it back…. Put blade in proper position and back to printing and switching filaments like a boss. |

Originally Posted By Tholo: The white to red purge is just barely not enough. First layer is still pink View Quote Thankfully it's easy enough to modify that. I have found all my default auto calculations have been probably 40% conservative. I've experienced zero color bleed thus far. I did have one issue where I used dark PLA for support on a dark PETG print and the purge was insufficient to get my layer adhesion up to snuff. I tripled the purge volume and it's perfect now. |
|
|
|
Something I have been doing is using a layer or three of a matte color when going from dark to light. For instance if I have a predominately black object with a raised area in yellow, I'll throw down 3 layers of matte yellow then change to the regular yellow. It dulls the color slightly but it beats being able to see through it. Playing with hueforge has taught me a lot about color transmission.

Looks like my non Bambu filaments dont quite fit in the AMS. The lid just doesnt fully close. I suspect this is a bit of a "gotchya!" on Bambus part which would steer users to their filaments since their spools are ever so slightly smaller and thus properly fits in the AMS. Are there any clever work arounds for this? Or just drop the larger diameter spool in the AMS and open the lid when printing to make sure the spool spins freely and close the lid (As much as possible) when done?

View Quote Depends on what the filament brand is; there are a few spool adapters in printables.com that will allow the use of different brand filaments in bambu spools. If the spool has a carboard center a spool adapter should work. If you dont have that another thing people have done is gone with a hydra ams mod or with various lid spacers 1 / 2 |

I currently use this printed in tpu.
Wedge shaped riser Atomic spools still dont feed well from ams until a little is used because they fill the spools to the brim. the Hydra Pro is the nuclear option to rebuild your ams. |

I plan on trying Hydra Pro. I have a lot of small spools that also don't work.

The ABS thread made me think of 2 new filamanets Bambu has started selling recently. Not sure how heavily they marketed it in case you guys didn't see it.
ABS-GF https://us.store.bambulab.com/products/abs-gf and more color options than standard black/grey in the PA6-GF world as well https://us.store.bambulab.com/products/pa6-gf |

So, I'm trying to understand this. In Bambu Labs theres two tabs along the top, Prepare and Device. If I click Prepare thats where you do all the setuip for the model you want to print. Specifically you can define the filaments available to use for the print. However in the Device pane in the middle right you can see the filaments loaded in the AMS. Any Bambu filament is auto sensed but others need to be manually defined.
Whats throwing me off is whether theres a way to sync the filaments configured in the Prepare tab to the filaments loaded in the AMS in the Device tab. Its a bit odd to me these filaments dont sync up between the two tabs. Also, it looks like TPU isnt officially supported in the AMS? Anyone have experience with this? Do you just load TPU and configure it as standard PLA in the AMS and use TPU settings in the Prepare tab to get the right print settings for TPU? |
