Check out Shippo or Pirate Ship. Super cheap rates (all things considered). I ship about 90 orders a month, most are in the 11-12 oz range and cost is usually 4.50-5.15 depending on zone.

Thank you for the offer.

Seems pretty good to me, but it's hard telling what layer height he is using. Adequate cooling and layer height/extrusion width are all that really go into bridging.

Though not sure why he needs a brim so thick.

Funny, I was just talking a day or two ago about using PETG as an interface layer.

That guy needs to show his purge speghetti. I know with the MMU2 on the Prusa the purge block can end up triple the size of the printed part.

The purge volume can get absurd, that and the time for shifting has kept me from doing any significant multifilament prints.  I just enjoy the AMS for having several things ready to go.  I will do the things with surface layers of other colors etc where it's just a couple of switches.  My use of this as an appliance has kept me from getting into the settings to minimize the purge parameters.  It's basically set to purge what you would need for two widely separated colors, it can be cut down a lot if it's not that important.

Returning to a 0.4 nozzle tonight, been using a 0.8 for some big garage hooks.  It's not really saving much time.

Anyways, I went to move the AMS off the top, and instead of disconnecting the whole thing I decided to let it sit on its side on a shelf behind the machine.  I had forgotten there was raw dessicant in open containers in it (since the lids all broke).  I got the AMS about 45 degrees to the side when I heard the cascade of dessicant balls throughout the AMS.

is it reliable, do you thing its worth the extra $350?

do people who buy them actually take advantage of them?

can you load it up with the same filament and set to switch when one runs out?

I feel it's worth it simply for using it with support filament. Yes, you can load it with multiple rolls of the same filament and it will automatically switch to them if one roll runs out.

I've read many positive reviews on them. The reliability is on par with single spool printers.
It wastes a LOT of filament on multi colored prints due to purging each color from the extruder/hot end during color changing and this slows a print dramatically. I would use it for that very rarely. The reviews I've read and watched favor using it for filament storage and have the option to use any of the 4 loaded filaments, so you can load a part file and start the print remotely if that's of interest to you.  I don't know about the auto-switching when running out of filament but that would be very useful.

I am going to order one but I probably won't use it for multi colored prints.
Link Posted: 6/22/2023 11:48:23 AM EST
[Last Edit: mPisi] [#23]
AMS definitely worth it for having multiple filaments on tap.  Easy low humidity storage, instant access.  I don't do many multifilament prints, and most of them are just a single top layer for embossing a logo or something.  But it can do some amazing multifilament work with the known poop losses.

It will switch over to another roll when one runs out if the rolls are coded as being identical.  They don't have to BE identical, you just have to tell the printer they are the same.  So this is good for getting rid of multiple remnants left over on spools.

If you're a reloader, think of the AMS as equivalent Dillon's automatic case feeder.  The machine works without it and you can reload with manually loading cases in the tube (I did it for years), but having it is just handy and more efficient to the point it's almost standard equipment.

I just picked up a P1P. WOW this thing is amazing fast. The print quality is incredible too. I've only tried one print so far and everything was great except I'm getting wavy "ringing" in left and right axis print walls. Any tips on reducing that? With my Ender the solution was to tighten the belt but I'm not sure with this one yet. I'm using PETG+.

Bambu Lab has announced a new model P1S, which seems to be a P1P with plastic enclosure and the interior fans and filters similar to an X1C.  May be bundled with an AMS.

Also rumors, based on patent filings, of an X1S which may be an X1C without the lidar (similar to the original X1 which quickly was phased out I think), and most promising, an X1E which may be a larger build area.

I don't know on that specific issue, I'm not much of a troubleshooter.  I think the PETG profiles in the slicer are not very advanced, you can probably find some advice on better settings.

That's usually a PWM issue. With how locked down Bambu is I'm not even sure if that's adjustable though. No familiarity with Bambu.

On a Prusa you can calibrate for it. It's called an extruder linearity calibration. It's caused by an imperfect Trinamic wave form reproduction by the driver.

I just found the details about it on their site. They say it's a belt tension issue. Their procedure is to loosen screws and move the axis a certain way and there is an automatic tensioner that should adjust it. Then the unit goes through another resonant frequency calibration to adjust to the new parameters. I'll give it a try tonight if i get time.

When they say these are pretty much plug and play they are right. I have never had this quality of a print right off the bat with zero issues other than the ringing, especially with PETG. This initial print is better than anything I could get from my modded Ender. The biggest surprise for me is there is absolutely zero stringing, none. Every small hole and detail is perfect with no post print cleanup of any areas needed. It's literally one and done.

I tried the belt tension adjustment procedure and tried it. It didn't help anything. From what I've read nobody has come up with a fix. I wonder if it's something to do with the type of motors or drivers they are using.

Yes, basically the enclosure.  If it's only the 4 pieces now sold on the BL site (I haven't looked at it in detail), you could actually upgrade a P1P for $90 (plus shipping) versus $100 for the factory P1S.

In a moment of weakness (a.k.a. "a moment of foolishness") I just ordered a P1S with some accessories. ETA before Sept. 5.

I'm quite sure that I ordered more 'stuff' than I need, but I plan to do a number of experiments with different filaments, nozzle sizes, and bed materials, so I went a bit overboard. I also ordered more filament than I ought to have - will have to figure out a relatively humidity-proof bin to keep the spools in, along with dessicant.

While the X1 Carbon looked interesting, I couldn't really justify the extra cost (because I doubt that I'll be printing any of the 'exotic' filaments, and while the LIDAR sounds interesting and the color display looks cool, I can live without them). As it is, by adding a bunch of accessories and filament to my order, I bumped up the cost to close to X1 Carbon territory for the machine alone.

My prior 3D printing experience has been with a Makerbot clone from Micro Center. Hoping for a giant leap forward in my capabilities - but have much learning ahead of me...

(I also ordered a 20W Ortur laser in yet another "moment of weakness". Yeah, I like playing with my toys.)

Slicer is ok but not nearly as many options as i would like (Orca Slicer is a little better in that regard) AMS functionality was very hit or miss on the software.  Previous patch had it where i couldnt change any settings on the AMS, had to use the phone app to do those changes.  Another thing is its not responsive (take a bit for changes to take).  Setting nozzle temp/bed temp if you are just testing some things is slow or doesnt take though that is a little niche, normal prints dont really get affected by it.

Pretty much comparing mainsail/fluidd to the app is night an day.  Also the camera is terrible; though this is more hardware and not software related.

Yes, IIRC the camera does all of 5fps - which I will probably supplant.

I haven’t yet decided exactly how I’m going to use the AMS - at least I’m not planning on doing any multi-color jobs.

But dialing in the settings will be important, especially with the variety of filament types I’m planning to use.

I am thinking of routinely using the phone app rather than the built-in display/controller panel (although I have not yet had hands-on with it).

Read up on throughput limitations of Bambu. People are starting to wake up. Finally.

The max throughput is 12mm³/s which means you'll never hit their claimed speed unless using a tiny nozzle and even smaller layer height.

Reality and Qidi caught onto this and their throughputs are 32 and 35, respectively. Meaning they can lay down essentially triple the filament.

I've been a prusa person for many years. Mk2 --> mk 2.5s. Mmu --> mmu2s (mmus never worked for me though). And sometimes it can be a pain but the thing is I can make parts for it and tweak it and get it printing again in an afternoon. And I can upgrade it. And it prints freaking great.

I'm interested in the Bambu mostly because I'm older and don't have the time to fuck with shit anymore. I'm also not in the mood to have to have to wait for customer support when something isn't working. So I'm in a weird spot.  I prefer open source by a long shot.

Bambu? Diy voron instead? I dunno. I just want to print great and fast and not have to tweak things too much anymore. And I want to print nylonX and every thing under the sun without thinking about it.

Recommendations please 😅

You haters missed the whole debacle where the cloud system caused a bunch of printers to start printing in the middle of the night, whether or not the build plate was empty.
BL fixing a bunch of printers and sending out filament to make up for the wastage
https://blog.bambulab.com/update-for-cloud-downtime/

I did get the anniversary gift of 3kg advanced filaments that was announced a few months ago.

I haven't done much printing lately.  Last month I burned through a bunch of old half-rolls printing storage boxes to use in my shop. 0.8 nozzle is a chunky monkey.  So my printer storage area is a little cleaner.

I would say a bambu printer is decent printer depending on your use cases.  I probably wouldnt go for it for a print farm (cloud requirement is terrabad) or for speed (though it does print pretty fast).  It does have limitations but I think its a pretty good entry point for multifilament printing (which is why i got it).  I still much prefer my vorons but the p1s is a good fallback if i ever need to print abs/asa and the vorons are all out of commision

Is there a primer somewhere on how a print farm is set up for workflow?  I assume not wanting cloud due to exposure to China.  But there is LAN and completely offline options, what are the connection needs to manage the operation?  I don't know how commercial they are but I have seen setups with many multiple BL printers running.

The p1 series dont allow you to use lan connectivity without cloud connectivity (dumb) so it would be sd card and sneakernet only if you dont use the cloud.  I say no to print farms since they are fast there are faster printers out there that print at good quality.  I dont know if there is a workflow or not but I would imagine there is.

Do people actually use a glue stick on the build plate, applying it before every print, and cleaning it off after every print?

For some filament types but not others, or for all types?

I used Vision Miner Nano adhesive on the original bed, it seemed to work fine.  I've never understood glue sticks.
Then bought a PEI plate and now I run it naked for PLA unless I have problems with something that has a very small base.  In those cases I clean with alcohol and then use the Nano on it too.  It really has too much adhesion for PETG, realy have to scrape that stuff off.

Does the X1 Carbon allow LAN without Cloud?

I really don’t want cloud access in anything.

Ok so I tried reading up on it and have come up with confusing/conflicting information.  So the X1c can do LAN only, though im reading conflicting information in that its ftp upload only and no app and other posts saying the app works (could have been an update).  Also people have mentioned that they got LAN only mode working on the p1p so ill need to revisit that and see if I can get that working on the P1S
