If you have an X1C or P1S with an AMS, print the diseccant trays for the AMS. And, print the desiccant spool holders for your filament.
Spool Holder You will need some desiccant beads, get the orange ones from Amazon. |

Don't use the AMS, as the abrasive filament wears stuff out faster, and expect to replace bowden tube more often. |

Printing my first print, the Benchy, right now. Holy crap this thing is blazingly fast. Watching it is almost surreal coming from my Ender 3v2. It's like life is on fast forward before my eyes. I'm excited to really get going on this machine and I'm very pleased with the purchase.

So I picked up an A1 mini and A1 on Microcenter last week. Ho-Lee-Fook talk about the easiest damn setup ever. No joke 10-15min for the mini and about 20-25 for the A1. Print quality has been nothing short of amazing using the default profiles (I tweaked Flow Ratio up to 0.98) and played with the hot end settings during the print. Have been flogging the piss out of these two machines to validate/vet them. I might be trying to convince the wife that I should buy 2 or 3 more A1's to start the mini print farm up with.

i printed the desiccant holders last night. I have no 3d printer experience to compare it to but man I am impressed by the speed and precision of this thing.
the parts dont look rough at all either. im waiting on some other filaments to arrive so i only have the 1/4 rolls of white, green, and support pla that came with it. cant wait to see what this thing can do with some bigger projects. its also neat that they include a maker project with it. |

I prefer to use PETG desiccant holders for PETG and PLA when drying, I live in the SE, humidity is a thing here. For ABS, ASA, PC, etc, I dry without a desiccant spool holder, then use a PLA or PETG desiccant spool when I seal it in a bag or put it in the AMS. |

Printed a Furball Korone. It has some flaws but its the first thing ive printed that required supports. One of them flew off during the printing because i didnt clean the bed after the last print. Printed ok for the most part. The big overhangs under the ears dont look great even though I had supports there, anything I should do to address that or is it normal? It's not perfect, there was lots of stray pieces of filament i had to pick off, but I think it still looks pretty good. You dont look at the underside of it anyways.

Buddy bought a pair P1S units on sale with the AMS on each.
He has been printing out parts like crazy and ordered a silly amount of spares for each (hot ends, cutters, brushes...) I will let folks dream of what he has printing right now. Now I wish I had taken advantage of the sale as well. I would have just gotten the X1C and been done. |

On the Bambu Facebook groups, people were saying skip the hub for multi AMS units and just use the 4 way splitter. I'm still waiting on the AMS, but have the splitter, and honestly not sure how it's supposed work. There's a lot of online stuff about modifying the splitter, and a lot of it seems to be aimed at the A1, not the P1S I have.

Basically you are using the stock buffer and placing the splitter before it allowing the multi AMS units feeding into it. I'm using this persons bracket setup. Maybe the pics will shed some light on this. https://makerworld.com/en/models/212566?from=search#profileId-232227 |

No problem.
Just a few more details to help. There are two types of the splitters Bambu offers. One that has connects on both sides https://us.store.bambulab.com/products/bambu-4-in-1-ptfe-adapter?variant=41583819227272 and then the Lite version https://us.store.bambulab.com/collections/spare-parts-for-a1-series/products/ams-lite-filament-hub Both do the same job in the end. One just came out before the other so people have created various brackets and such to utilize them. One other thing that you may need depending on how you configure where you are placing your extra AMS units is the longer 1500mm bus cable and/or the 4000mm longer PTFE tubing. https://us.store.bambulab.com/collections/spare-parts-for-ams/products/bambu-bus-cable?variant=42520294490248 https://us.store.bambulab.com/collections/spare-parts-for-ams/products/ptfe-tubes |

When ever the machine purges petg it gets stuck to the buttcheeks of the poopchute and sometimes even gets drug over the sides onto the build area. it piles up so fast it almost gets stuck to the nozzle.
yes its dry. what am i doing wrong. |

|

Posted: 7/17/2024 12:41:33 AM EDT

Yeah, that's a thing with PETG.
I avoid using the default grid infill, where the nozzle has to cross the lines internally. That builds up boogers on the nozzle, which then causes the purge to go a little sideways or generally causes part quality problems. I think the non-hardened nozzles suffer from this less, but I practically only use hardened nozzles. Heat the nozzle to 240 or so and use a blue shop towel to clean it off. If it's really bad, you might have to clean or replace the silicone sock. Do this with the nozzle cold, or have tough fingers. Take care not to tear the thermocouple wires, they're in this region and kind of fine. I prefer to use PLA or ABS, but they all have their pros and cons. ASA is good, but the fumes give me a killer headache so I probably won't restock that once I've used it up. |

Printing PETG on my Bambu P1S and QIDI X-Plus3 is driving me crazy. Both printers are having this issue. Printing single objects or a couple on the build plate I don't really have issues. It's when I print multiple objects using the entire build plate this issue shows up.
I'm using Bambu PETG and their profile for PETG on the P1S. I'm about to do a full calibration on my own since I don't think something is right. I did upgrade to the E3D Obxidian hotend 0.4mm which significantly increased volumetric flow on my PLA+ prints. For the PETG though I just left the stock volumetric flow at 12 since I know it doesn't like to be printed fast, but with a high flow nozzle should have no issues. For PETG how fast are you printing your exterior walls and interior walls? Depending on the default settings for Bambu this can be like 200mm/s. I'm seeing PETG buildup on the nozzle and parts coming off into the print, or it pulls the filament it just extruded leaving it in the print. It's not stringing, but parts of the print itself. I have avoid crossing walls checked to try to prevent it traveling across the walls. Other than this issue the rest of the print looks good.

I combined elements from the 0.4mm and the 0.6mm profile to make my own since I'm printing 0.28mm layer heights vs the profile default of 0.2mm. Right now I limited the volumetric flow to 15. I also calibrated flow and had to raise it about 2.75% higher from Bambu default and the pressure advance was changed from 0.02 to 0.036. Printed one of the parts and it turned out fantastic, now I got 2 printing and they are looking good too. After that I'll try 4 of them to simulate the movements the printer was when printing 6 to narrow down what was causing the earlier print issues. The only major change I saw was the E3D profile activated the aux part cooling fan for PETG at 70% speed. Otherwise all their other settings were geared for speed with volumetric flow at 30 and all the speed settings higher than Bambu default. |

Max temp on roll is 260. Speed wise on that print was slower than the E3D settings by a good bit. Running the E3D ObXidian hotend. The true test is going to be loading it up with 6 parts. Right now with 1 or 2 parts it's printing great. |

I like they offer spooless rolls now and in bulk it's only $14.99 a roll. Be sure to figure out how it is blended if so. It's an alloy and some alloys give up more than others. I like PCTG for some applications... It is an alloy of PETG that has layer adhesion strength equal to the rest of the part, and much higher impact strength and shear strength. However it completely gives up chemical resistance., but maintains fatigue resistance, UV resistance, and some level of flexibility. It just depends. |
