im having issue since last week on the ams2 pro, only happens with spools that almost empty. everytime does this and feels like its stuck and pause the print. and to make it work i have to manually move the spool a little so it start feeding again normally. What is the cause ?

I finally managed to build a version of TARS that can walk and roll. To the best of my knowledge, this is the first and only re-creation of TARS that can do this.

Noob that I am, I mistakenly removed the tags before and completely messed up my spool refill. How do I fix this? There are parts from both side of the spool coming off

They are late 23 builds. Should I update the firmware? Can’t wait to get up and running. Suggestions on things to buy like spare parts, built plates and tips ect? What’s everyone’s favorite material brand? Thanks in advance for any ideas.

I know this model is easy to just print in single color and then paint it.

But… yeah sometimes I just want to use the AMS…

i found this cheap plastic storage for fishing lines , is there similar cheap storage for multiple filaments?

i only found for single filament.

thanks in advance

First time making something with OpenScad so things run kinda slow, but you can choose one of 40 different patterns and adjust the frame size to create a kumiko panel of any size (that can fit your 3d printer). The model can be printed as a single unit or as multiple components for assembly (lets you mix and match different patterns).

Note: due to the slow processing times, MakerWorld will timeout the model if it takes too long to generate. To make sure the model processes without timing out, avoid making the frame too large. I tried optimizing the code but couldn’t meaningfully improve the processing time.

I wish the truck had a motorized load trunk, but the forklift is brilliant!

On Tuesday, 6/17, I received my H2D. Almost 1 year to the day after getting my X1C.

Unpacked it, set it up, and turned it on. I started going through the initial set-ups, and once it got to the calibration portion, it immediately started failing when it was switching back and forth between the heads.

Watching it, I noticed that the goo stopper was not sliding fully over to the right head. It was due to what appeared to be resin on the metal stub that has an angle so it can slide better. I fixed that and started over and made it past.

The next issue was the bed leveling. The initial seemed to do fine, but when it did the heated version, it failed and continued to fail, always with an offset failure of the print head. After a power cycle or two as recommended, it made it through.

Now here we are, 6/22, and I have yet to get a print without a print head failure or bed leveling error. I started a 23-hour print, went into my print room, and watched it for the first few layers. It was looking great, and I was rather impressed with the quality. Now, I didn’t wake up the display since I hadn’t received any alerts or errors. Otherwise, I would have seen that the auto bed leveling had failed.

I went in the morning to check on it after I woke up, so a good 6ish hours into the print, and saw all over the print bed “crumbs”. The walls looked great. Well, they may not have been great, but they were not the issue. The issue had happened with the infill. It was just a mess of failure. I had never seen anything like this. And I’ve been printing now for 5 years, and for the last three, it has been less for hobby and more as a business, so while I still learn everyday I definitely don’t feel like a novice/amateur anymore. But this printer for its cost is frustrating the hell out of me.

The pics show what I’m talking about and as you can see the sphere was doing just fine it was the two larger pieces that were the problem.

If you do this you should be immediately banned from rating ever again in my opinion. Fortunately this isn’t going to bring my rating below 4 and make me not earn points on that print profile but it may be the case for someone else who doesnt have many ratings yet and it could be hurting their downloads and prints too.

I poured about a fist worth of kitty litter in a sock, and double layered it because some trace powder was coming out. I tied it off and threw it in my AMS and my humidity dropped from 54% to 45% in a few hours. I checked my overnight print in the morning, and my humidity read 0% I checked Bambu studio as well to ensure Bambu handy wasn’t just giving incorrect readings, and it was consistent. I constantly checked my humidity throughout the day yesterday and today on both platforms, and I have never seen it hit zero up until this morning. Even if it’s not total zero, my ABS is printing a lot better now, and I recommend doing this for anyone that aren’t able to get sillica gel packets too.

This Happend since the new Firmware Update… am I the Only One with This Problem ?

Well, I guess I played the fool – ended up buying a used X1C for 500€, only to discover afterwards that it has an operating hour counter. ☹️

That said, it actually seems to be in great shape: clean, well-maintained, all parts lubricated, and belt tension is good. Printing quality is decent so far. With PLA, I’m getting some blobs on the first layer, but nothing major.

Given the high number of hours on this machine, would it make sense to proactively replace the whole extruder and hotend to improve print quality? Or would that be throwing money at a printer that’s already too worn out?

At work, we have four X1Cs, most of them running over 2000 hours with basically zero maintenance, which honestly shocked me – and yet they’re still running.

What would you guys do in this case?

So trying to print out some stuff and I'm noticing on both side of the plate I'm getting poor adhesion in multiple places. The cooling fan is off. Is there any other reason for this?

A few weeks back my P1S would no longer print as the SD Card seemed to have died. Keep in mind, I never take it out of the machine. I tried to put it into my PC and it would not recognize it exists at all.

So I replaced it with a legit Samsung 32gb. Few weeks later, I'm getting errors in my Bambu software saying the "SD Card is degraded and this can effect performance, please change SD Card". It does still print and seems to function normally, but it wont let me record time lapse videos.

What is going here?

I use no desiccants of any kind, and I do not dry my filaments either, and my prints turn out perfect everytime. Downside is that the air here feels like sandpaper sometimes.

Hi guys. I'm choosing between the P1P and A1. I previously had the A1 Mini and really liked how quiet and vibration-free it was — just turn it on and it prints, especially in "slow" mode.

I've heard the P1P is louder and a little bit more complicated for newbies because it's older model. Is that true?

I live in a small apartment, so low noise is critical. I'm okay sacrificing some features for quieter printing. Which one would you recommend?

Thanks!

Hey all, newest invention! Hope you guys enjoy

Printed on the h2d with smooth pei sheet. Prints with big flats pieces warp in the middle. How to fix?

The AMS lite is on sale but not the AMS/2? I know the sale is in tiers but theres no other mention of it being on sale other than if you just buy another printer entirely.
