BEST Bambu Mod! AMS Riser! DO THIS NOW
www.printables.com/model/5574...
This is a detailed review of the X1 Carbon 3D printer from Bamboo, renowned for its high-quality, high-speed printing capabilities. The reviewer emphasizes the printer's ability to print consistently with an Automated Material System (AMS) on top, particularly when using PLA material. However, due to the enclosed nature of the X1 Carbon, it's recommended to open the door for ventilation while printing with PLA, especially if the AMS is in place, as this helps prevent jams caused by heat build-up affecting the hot end's temperature control.
A key part of the video is the introduction of a 3D printed shelf designed to sit atop the X1 Carbon, allowing for better ventilation without removing the AMS or opening the front door. The reviewer successfully printed this shelf using Polymaker PolyLite PLA, noting the impressive bridging and overhang capabilities of the printer, even though some minor imperfections were present. The shelf uses unique bow tie butterfly connectors for easy assembly.
The review concludes with the assembly and successful installation of the shelf on the X1 Carbon, demonstrating its utility and compatibility with the printer. The reviewer expresses a personal connection to the hobby of 3D printing, sharing their enthusiasm for creating functional parts and enjoying the process, especially during the holiday season. The video ends on a grateful note, thanking viewers for their support and encouraging them to engage in hobbies they're passionate about.

That was a really sweet footnote at the end. We sincerely appreciate you and everything you've done for this community Joel! You've always been a wholesome, genuine presence in 3d printing. Your content encapsulates that raw excitement for an emerging technology, and I am honored to share in your passion! High Five!
Love you Joel, your videos have been a big part of my love for printing for years and years now. Always love seeing you when you're genuinely excited about something like this! Thank you so much for making such awesome stuff for so long, I hope you continue to find passion in what you share with us
and I'm thankful for you Joel.
Thank you Joel, for sharing your love for the multiple maker systems. Your excitement for cool prints is what really drove me to watch your channel. Thanks for all the information and knowledge you provide.
Joel, thanks for doing this. I learned the hard way to keep my X1 Carbon open when printing PLA, after constant jams and some research. I love 3D printing after 4 years in the hobby it is still amazing what we can do. Functional prints are the best became they solve a problem, usually quicker and cheaper.
Thank you for the personal bit at the end. Every time I see a content creator with a different energy to their normal videos, I worry about their health. I'm glad you're well and printing for pleasure! Happy Holidays!
Thank you for all your enthusiasm and dedication to 3D printing. You were one of the first channels I watched when I first got my printer a couple years ago and I’m sure there are plenty others that are in the same benchy, I mean boat!
Thanks Joel! Your enthusiasm is awesome!
Some of the most satisfying prints are the ones we either design and print or find a file and print for the purpose of a simple fix that we need and those AHA moments are priceless makes us remember why we got into 3d printing in the first place merry Christmas man and a happy new year I’ve been watching you since I started 3D printing going on year 3 and I love it it’s worked out awesome for my business I work for my self full time now and I get to spend more time with my family so that’s a plus you’ve been an inspiration truly appreciate everything you do , ✋
This was the first video I've seen of yours. What a genuine message!
Thank you Joel for always posting these interesting makes. And specially thanks for not falling into the toxic crap that has been taking over the 3D print community and many influencers over the past year. Happy new year!
Have a great holiday Joel. I felt that bit at the end. And now I'm gonna have to print this mod out now for my bambu! Maybe ill post it on my channel after reviewing it a bit. Thanks for taking the time to make a quick video!
Refreshing approach Joel! Something this hobbies kind of lost as of late... Appreciate it.
Honestly didn't expect that ending, it was so sweet. Thanks
That's awesome - I've never vented it while printing PLA, I'm excited to try it! :D Thanks, Joel!
Great video and mod - glad you popped on for a bit during the holidays. Now enjoy the rest of the holiday and print some more cool things ;)
Ordering an X1-Carbon soon. I'm stoked to own, use, and MODIFY it! Thanks for the video!
I decided to go with the BLV - AMS Riser, because it also got two drawers. With that I got all the extra stuff, and spare parts for the printer, out of the boxes, and into the drawers on top of the printer. :)
I've been looking at printing the BLV Riser. Did you need to use supports?
I also went with the BLV-AMS Riser. It requires supports, takes a lot more time to print, and uses a lot more filament. However, I believe that it is worth it if you have the resources as you end up with a far better looking riser along with extra functionality. You can also install LEDs and a TPU seal directly into the riser which comes in very handy.
May I have the link to the blog riser?
you helped me out making a decision, after watching this video I found a few different ones, but not this one, and I like it!!
This riser only has 4 clips on the bottom. That is barely adequate.
Thank you Joel! Now we need one mod for the a series😝...Happy new year🎉
I needed this. I have been losing my passion since turning my printing into part of my company and knowing I'm not alone helps. Thank you, Joel.
Much Love Joel. Your video quality is always top notch. High Five!
Total game changer my temps stay so stable by putting my back glass on the printer and front on first tong I looked everywhere for this model that I seen on a a1 video when I found it I also found the minimalist version next to it on printable and did it with 650 grams of filament instead of 1.5 to 1.75 rolls thanks Joel hope you had great holidays
Hey, that’s the remix of my v2 AMS riser! Thanks Joel!!!
That's a great idea. I love when 3D printing and solve an issue with the creativity of makers.
Brilliant! Happy new year and here is for a better year next year!
Thank you Joel. Printing one for me now. Appreciate you.
We played around with some of the bambus at Microcenter today, (printed out a few benchies on them) and were really impressed at their line of printers. But... they seemed almost "too good". Seeing this print you did, it kinda makes 'Elder Maker dad' want to go back tomorrow and get an X1...just so he can print this out and MOD it. Joel, we really enjoy your videos and we hope you and your family have a wonderful 2024. Be well.
Thanks for getting personal. And thanks for this video, as I'm now looking for a riser.
Hey Joe! U are one of my favorite 3d printing youtuber! Thanks for the hard work ang great videos! Best greetings from Hungary ! High five!
Happy holidays and happy printing!
Thanks for the video. I wondered if you were ok as you seemed a little upset to me. It was nice that you gave us a heart felt thank you for watching. Will be looking at this mod for my p1p
Just ordered my X1C this week. Very excited about it! This and a poop shoot are the first things I will be making.
High 5 back! I haven’t had issues printing with the door closed, but I’ll still give the venting a go. Agree with you - my enjoyment of 3d printing was renewed when I got my X1C. Before that, I was on a long hiatus, not inspired to print anything for months on my CR-10S Pros or even my Prusa. Way to go Bambu!
Great ending words, Happy New Year Joel!
Functional prints are what warms my soul. Especially when I can share them with others.
Joel long time watcher first time responding, I always enjoyed your KZhead channel. I've been 3d print since 2014. It's been a love hate hobby for sure. I noticed when printing it for fun to give to kids and people for joy, I recieved joy as will. The minute I get people asking and "kindly" demanding things takes a toll and ruins the fun. Especially when it fails to print... Curse you 3D printing god!!!... Anywho, it's always a blast to get full functional print. I've been on the fence printing the bambu riser. I've seen a couple just haven't made up my mind. Glad to see it work out. Happy holidays and God bless you and your family.
Maybe it’s just the holidays and I’m feeling nostalgic, but I do miss when you just stayed home and printed really cool stuff to share with us in your backyard. 😎
Some of old Joel's stuff was the best.
Tinkering/modding to make it your own. Awesome! I agree with you. I still 3D Print to fix things around the house even if they don’t get filmed. I’m still amazed by 3D Printing.
That print quality is exceptional!
Its the simple things Joel that sometimes have the biggest impact. Happy new year to you and the fam, and everyone involved at 3D printing Nerd ;)
Just finished the video. Joel, always feel free to wear a hat, or a non-clean shirt. We are here for you, the knowledge, the passion for making, and the fun. High-5!
Mine is arriving next week, this will be my first mod! Thanks for the detailed video! EDIT: OK, just saw the end. I absolutely love your enthusiasm, Joel. It always shows through; never change!
Buy a lot of filament the x1c is the filament eater you can go through 2 rolls a day 😂 better stock up 👍👍
@@jcfpv3454 It depends upon the number of colours and the type of prints. If you print a single colour - then it's no worse than any other. If you print 4 with multi colours each layer, then you'll waste FAR more than you print.
May I suggest that you use the printer for a while first. In my experience, this mod is not needed and you can print just fine with the door shut.
@@matbroomfield I'm saving up for an X1C and will get it soon. One of my concerns with this mod would be noise, I imagine the printer would be a lot louder with the top glass wide open? Not sure though. The mod is interesting but yeah I will try the printer with the door closed first
@@SangheiliSpecOp I've never had a problem with the door closed. Bambu just released a new driver that allegedly reduces print noise by about 15%. There is also a box you can print and attach to the back that reduces fan noise. If you are sure to keep the AMS lid closed, that also reduces noise. I'm very sensitive to noise and I run it in another room, and it's still loud enough to stop me falling asleep, although if I leave my PC on, the white noise is enough to mask it but sleep through.
I saw a different one of these risers for the x1c that was a lot more slim and just had 2 closeable magnetic doors on each side for a total of 8 little doors that could open to vent. This riser you made just looks really big, and doesn’t come with extra storage, but it does look cool with the see through structure on the sides. Kind of reminds me of one of those Ooni pizza ovens or something like that. Thanks for sharing.
Love the sign off, looking forward to meeting you at this years Rapid+TCT
What a brilliantly designed mod.
I love that Joels is still humble about being on youtube.
👍 Now I need to print 3 of these for my P1S printers.
Awesome video Joel!
I wish one day to have a friend as nice and awesome as you. Been here a long time, thanks for the great videos.
I love my X1C. I printed some like that a few weeks after I got it becuase I print mostly PLA and I run my bed temps a little on the high side. The one I use also keep the lid raise up for it the vent but it also as a spot to put LED light strip in it. My printer now has over 1500 hours on it and it all doing great.
That is the coolest mod I've seen. Next, a mod for switching between the AMS and the spool holder setup when you need to print TPU. Or another printer. haha I'm with you on the hobby. I've been watching your videos since the beginning. I started mine similarly in 2015. Thank you for the awesome content over the years.
You are AWESOME, been looking at different versions on this, am going to print in ASA.... well because I have it and I want it to handle temp swings I print with from ABS/ASA. Thanks Joel
awesome vid brother.
Hmm.. i never knew i had this problem with my x1c. Have been printing pla only (with ams on top and different brands of pla). Door stays closed during printing, and I've had 0 failures. Awesome video!
Great informative video, thank you. All I have to do is get rid of my 2 Ender 3 V2 printers and get one of the Bambu printers (I really don't 2 of those and the 2 FLSUN printers). Thanks again for your time making these videos.
Being able to keep a lid on is important to us, since we have overhead fans that run 24/7 to circulate HVAC with high ceilings. Just adding a "hat" to our bed slingers helped warping a lot.
It's great when a problem presents itself and you can fix it in a simple manner, In our case: just 3D print a thing. As for showing things off just because they're cool: love them. Reminds me how when I go to take photos with friends, I never announce the photo. It's candid. If I wanted a posed photo, I would. But sometimes it's better to just let life happen, catch a moment that you like, and go "check this out". See you in the new year (assuming no surprise video before Monday)
I like it. I haven't needed it. For whatever reason, I've had tons of success printing PLA with the doors closed and the lid on. I'm sure I've just jinxed it, but now I know what I'll want to print when I do finally run into heat creep on my X1C!
Dude print it just because it’s cool. Just not as cool as you :)
@@3DPrintingNerd Haha! Actually I've been thinking about printing a 100% æsthetic (and 0% practical) mod for the Prusa MK3. It's the "Ultimate Prusa Casing" side pieces to give the printer a more aggressive look.
Actually the open door creates draft damage even with PLA. Without a riser, removing the glass is the only option. I added another riser just for permanent vents, even though i don’t want an AMS on top. The access is needed too frequently imho. High maintenance machine. With multiples it gets kind of pointless anyhow.
I did the original version of this first after getting my P1S upgrade kit, it's really easy to print and to set up. Though I ultimately went with the BLV AMS riser cause it looks cooler and has the drawers and build plate storage. If you want something a bit easier and with way less material than the BLV, this is the way to go for sure. And remember everyone, the best reason to own a 3D Printer is to print things for your 3D Printer ;)
Great to see someone on the internet finally mention Spezspivick holes. Most people think it's "specific". But actually Spezspivick holes were invented by Dr. Ralf Spezspivick back in 1826. High-5!
Excellent!!
I have the Hex AMS Riser, that allows you to add honeycomb wall to both sides of the printer and add all the things to tidy your table
Agreed. We got into the hobby to print stuff. Then my brother said, you know what, we can make a product that can sell. We don't have affordable Model rocket kits in South Africa. So he designed 1. 3D printed nosecone with laser cut parts. And with the anti-plastic straw campain, access to 6 and 8mm cardboard tubes for launch lugs. The rest is history. We do a STEAM workshop since 2012, and no, the world didn't end. And this year it was accepted as part of the school curriculum. Now we just need to educate the educators on how it benneffits their students to build a real rocket and go fly it. So print the things you love, and have an awesome 2024!
Looks like the perfect space for an Ooni Pizza Oven 😂
So great to see you back and smiling Joel. I’ve printed hundreds of PLA pieces with no venting. Wondering if there is any science behind this idea?
It really depends on your local climate. I live in Virginia, and my printers behave way differently in the summer than in the winter. Room temperature, humidity, etc. In winter I need to run my Enders in a closet behind plexiglass for prints to stick. In summer, I need to pop the plexi out and run a fan over them or prints will warp. I bought my X1 in November, so I've only seen it work in winter. It's amazing how much a few degress of room temperature and a few percentage points of relative humidity will mess with print quality.
Love the video game music 😆 Looks good
One idea to improve it further. Create a frame with the same dimensions of the glass top, make it so there is a fine computer mesh in the frame for a dust filter so when the glass top is venting you can still keep dust out
happy holidays joel. Been eyeballing a few of these sorts of things and just not sure if it is worth the used filament for me lol
I have gone from Aldi Cocoon Create Touch to an A1 and feel the same, print things off without the first layer issues makes 3D printing even more fun.
I print with iboss filament in the ams door closed. 220c -60c bed print comes out flawless
I think your sentiment at the end is actually more valuable than the print itself! (and the print IS pretty valuable). ✋High 5!
"Here's a neat little printer mod. Oh, just gonna destroy you emotionally for a second. Ok cool enjoy!"
About to print mine in SunLu Elite Pla Black. It works so nice great filament. Thank you Joel. Happy New Year and Here's to you and yours and all the blessings! On one of your last vids I felt the need to email you if you get a chance to check it out. God Bless!
Happy new year to you and yours!!
Happy new year
I've printed with over 100 different PLA filaments with the door closed, and the only jam I EVER got with the door shut was due to brittle filament snapping. Have you _actually_ experienced this overheating jam Joel, or are you just proactively solving a problem that supposedly exists?
I'm a bit puzzled by this too. What's the chamber temperature when printing PLA? If this was a real problem, wouldn't other materials with higher extrusion temperature but also higher bed temperature (leading to higher chamber temperature) have the same kind of issue?
p1s and x1s have chamber ventialation, so also dont see any reason. Unless you would want to turn that fan off to have quieter print?
Interesting approach to overcoming a problem introduced by not using the “Cool” plate the printer came with! It works surprisingly well. I have over 1000 hours printing PLA with the cool plate and have not experiencing any of problems you described.
@@cbgslinger I use both the cool plate and the PEI plate - no problems, ventilated or not.
@@matbroomfield I have a PEI plate, but have never used it. Bought it shortly after I got my Kickstarter Combo since everyone was raving about them. It’s a backup for my cool plates should the need arise. The cool plate just works. I use Windex for my release agent. It’s quick and easy.
I'm going to print mine tonight 🤪 thanks Joel merry Christmas
merry Christmas and happy new year!
My P1P (and other printers) runs most days, all day, just for fun things for myself. 700 jobs over 8 months! I love this hobby. I'm traveling in Feb, to trade off a DIY printer I have $4k invested in, to a business, who is giving me back a similar sized printer KIT, just because I enjoy the process of building up printers and I want to do it all over again. It's just my jam.
im printing pla since the start with all closed and works well, using hatchbox and esun
This is a very good point, but I just turn on the chamber fan and it works great.
Love you buddy!
You're the best!
That's a bootiful machine
How are you doing! This is awesome I love your work! Can you show us the ender 3 voron hotend mod?
Okay… I did it. I ordered the X1C, and am returning my K1 to microcenter tomorrow. I tried for 11 days to make it work, but every day was a struggle, and I have experience with much less capable machines. I just got worn down seeing friends and KZhead channels just getting great prints from Bambu models. It honestly made me agro for a while, kind of disliking Bambu owners for sort of a smug arrogance… but it turns out it’s sort of earned. So… idk I wasn’t trying to beat or join anyone I just wanted a good 3D printer that worked most of the time with the least amount of multi hour calibration testing and tinkering and disassembly to get a freaking one off print to work. I don’t want to perfect one model for the next month, just random stuff I think up. So good bye Creality K1. Hope I get the shipping tracking from Bambu soon!
The rule that you have to open the door when printing PLA also depends on ambient temperature. I have my printer in the garage and it's too cold for the door to be open. I get layer separation problems if i dont close the door and get the chamber temperature up to around 32-35C. It's partly due to the Aux fan blasting at 70 percent by default.
I printed one of these, but never end up lifting the lid and still get great PLA prints. Since it's in my living room, I'd rather avoid the extra noise, but it's a nice option to have and I use the grid to hold a side spool for the "5th roll"
Hi Joel, great video. Keep up the great work!! I have been wanting to do the same mod for a while. I might just print it this weekend. I do have one question, I noticed that you have some cardboard spools in the AMS. I have often been told that cardboard spools are not good on the unit and can cause issues. I have been avoiding buying cardboard spools, but some of my favorite material only comes on cardboard. What are your thoughts on this?
I just printed led riser but now I need this! I don’t get jams but I would like to remove the top
Thanks for the awesome video! That overhang (that caused sagging) looks like it was not needed, and could have been chamfered off. Was it actually needful for the design to work right?
Joel! you need to check out the V3 and V4 versions of this model. They include build plate holders, tool holders, and even a place for all my spare hotends
Bambu Lab 3D Printers are such a game changer to 3D Printing. Previously we were making prints so that the printers could function. Now we make quality of life prints and we do it in color. 🎉🎉🎉 While I feel it is plug and play like a 2D printer, my wife still sees it as tedious to remove the build plate, remove the print, clean the build plate, and put it back into place. Maybe Bambu Lab can make a belt drive replacement build plate that will auto eject and clean the plate? The we are left with loading filament and cleaning poop just like babies (load food and clean poop).
How does the temperatures hold up? I'd guess there would be slight temperature drops, since there will be small gaps between the plastic and the top of the printer, as well as where the glass cover rests. But if so, how big of a difference is there, if any? Thanks.
Joel! Bets to go with the BLV - AMS Riser !
More of this!
Got to make this for mine. What mod did you use for the lighting ?
Cool and all, for anyone that wants to save time and filament you can just put a pencil on either side of the lip that holds the glass, drop the glass back on and put the AMS on it- the resulting 5/16" or so gap is enough to keep the heat down. Or use PLA+
Hey Joel... you're awesome. :)
I haven't had that problem with pla yet, but my garage is relatively stable temp wise. I do have high humidity (over 60%) so I'm always worried about leaving filament open to the elements due to water absorption
There is one for the K1 Creality as well Joel, any chance showing that as well even though it does not have an AMS ?
In the process of printing one that has TPU gaskets to properly seal the glass, added drawer space, and a place to mount some LED lights since the illumination on the P1S is a little lacking on the illumination front.
I'm awesome...and also thanks for the cool in depth videos @3D Printing Nerd
