Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By CreativeBall: I'm on day 3 of having a P1S with AMS. Upgraded from a Creality CR10. Omg this is amazing! Are there any downsides to this wonderful device? I'm running 3 month old filament that's been in my basement with my 125 gallon saltwater aquarium, and it's smooth and trouble free. It's simply amazing. Filament can break off inside the AMS and you basically have to take the AMS apart to clear it. That was one of my biggest issues I had. It stopped mid print, but to clear it I had to remove the AMS and basically accept I would ruin the print after unplugging everything. I printed an AMS riser with drawers to help organize stuff, and it keeps the PTFE tube from rubbing on the top glass which nearly rubbed through the PTFE tube. It's a little quieter now that I can close the door and the AMS riser has a place for the top glass to rest if you don't need a fully enclosed printer for PLA or PETG. |

I don't know if this has been covered yet. I apologize for being lazy but I don't feel like reviewing 13 pages of information looking for it.
I was 95% complete with a four hour print job when the power went out. The power was out about 30 seconds and then came back on. The printer powered itself back up and asked me if I wanted to resume the print job. I said yes and the job finished without any visible indication that it was interrupted. The part being printed is strictly cosmetic so there isn't any concern with a hidden structural deficiency causing problems down the road. And this was with a Bambu labs X1C with AMS. Print job is PLA. |

Yeap, the resume feature is good but if you can swing it get a battery backup inline with it. I too have a cheapie $50 one but it has proven it's self to be worthy several times over.

I am really waffling over what to get. I want a P1S with AMS, but its almost $1000, I have just over $800 set aside in fun money. I have a working ender 3 that I modded and now it doesnt work as well as it did stock
 . plug and play and performance of bambu makes me want one but I really cant justify $1000 with how little I print, and I dont even know if I really need the AMS. I would just get the printer but its $100 off the AMS if you get the combo. I could get the A1 combo but I really dont want a non enclosed printer since I would like to print some gun stuff. and it just seems like a step down from the P1s. IDK. Ill probably use it 3 times and let it gather dust like the ender

What's everyone's favorite PETG? I saw Bambu just came out with their HF, but it seems to be overly sensitive to moisture and weaker than regular PETG. Not sure that I want to make that trade for some time saving.

Not sure that I want to make that trade for some time saving. The last time I used Turquois Green ATOMIC PETG the two rolls I bought at different times both were bad. Very brittle no matter how long I dried them. A slight bend and it would snap clean off. I reviewed it on their sight. They wanted to know the lot number but I had already thrown them out. Bambu labs PETG works very well. I've been using TINMORRY PETG-CF with really good results. They raised their price to $29 a kilo recently. I ordered a few rolls of Bambu Lab ABS-GF (glass filled) ($30) for large prints based on a review by youtuber clough42. Good review.

Got a bambu a1 last month. Thing is great, but occasionally gives me a 'heatbed temperature malfunction' and stops the print. Sometimes I can resume no problem, and sometimes I get the error multiple times and have to cancel the print. Happens like 1 out of 5 prints. Any ideas what might be going on? Thanks all.

Stratasys value has been dropping like a rock, they're overpriced, and Bambu has better quality. They're desperate. |

For those who don't want to read the lawsuit.
  Stratasys Sues Bambu Lab For Patent Infringement I'm not a lawyer, but Stratasys has ignored every other company's IP infringement for years and just goes after one cause it's too good. I thought you had to defend your IP aggressively in order to have a claim. |

I guess Ill have wifi in my driveway now? the unit just fits where I want it under a shelf so the AMS is off to the side. need to configure the WAP, and then get the printer powered on and figure out all the software. going to try a poop chute for first print.
 all the other parts and filiment shipped ups from across the country so it will be 2 weeks until they get here if I am lucky and ups doesnt lose them.

I have it diagonal on the build plate so its over 10” long. Don't use glue. Just use a clean textured PEI plate. Get the plate CLEAN. Use helper discs as necessary. On the top how many layers thick are you? For such thin layers you'll need 6 or so for a clean finish. Also you can ensure shell thickness, it is an option in the slicer, though that's probably a minor help here given the angle. |

I redid it in pla and got similar results but i think top shell was 6 for both. Im running it again right now i bumped the top layers up to 8 and fiddled with some other settings and am currently reprinting it. The sides looked great. Its just the top. |

If it is doing it in PLA something else is going on. Your slicer settings must be out of whack. Try slowing it down.. Hard to tell but looks like insufficient layer count, not ensuring vertical shell thickness, or perhaps printing too fast or bridging the first top layer too fast. |

Finally had a chance to try the VoxelPLA PETG+. Per VoxelPLA, I'm using the Bambu PLA Tough settings with a nozzle temp of 265. I had some bed and layer adhesion issues on the first layer, so I cranked the bed temp to 80 and halved the speed for the first layer. It's printing great now.
It sticks to the textured PEI build plate a little too well, so I'm going to experiment with using some glue before I attempt a large print. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By -Obsessed-: If it is doing it in PLA something else is going on. Your slicer settings must be out of whack. Try slowing it down.. Hard to tell but looks like insufficient layer count, not ensuring vertical shell thickness, or perhaps printing too fast or bridging the first top layer too fast.

Hard to tell but looks like insufficient layer count, not ensuring vertical shell thickness, or perhaps printing too fast or bridging the first top layer too fast. So i slowed down the print speed by 10% and added two additional top layers and the difference was night and day. Initially i was using the stock settings of the slicer just for reference. Im currently rerunning the print with just the extra layers to see what happens but i think it was the print speed. Should i have to adjust the print speed down from the stock value for a print like this? I am very novice but enjoying the learning process. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By -Obsessed-: Do not use glue. Use Windex for PETG on textured PEI. Can you clarify? Does that help with removal post print? I was planning on water soluble glue so I can get my prints off the bed. With my glass bed on my Ender, I would just reheat the bed to 80 and the prints would come off. That doesn't seem to work on the Bambu. |

PETG sticks so well you can damage the plate. Wndex allows the print to come off after cooling but not so well that it comes off when heated. I use a paper towel and spray the sheet lightly, wipe it evenly, and go to town. It takes about 5 seconds. You can't print PLA until after you wash the plate with dawn. PLA won't stick to a Windexed plate. I have found that plates can still be damaged with alcohol. So I never use it now. Dawn and index only for anything from PLA to PETG to CPE to CPTG to ASA to ABS. Only need Windex and soap. |
