super practical upgrades! great video! 👏😎
Thanks man!
XD its new that people dont go to the biggest channel comment but sadly i do btw i bought the bambu lab combo its the best
Dude! Finally someone brings up the filament under the fingernail! I had a piece go all the way to the back of my nail.
OUCH!!!!!
Some things just can't be unread. 😨 sorry that happened to you.
STOP! Now I see I need to order a new printer.... dang it.... Now you've cost me another $1400. Looking forward to my Bambu carbon
HAHA Something tells me you were on this path before you saw this video, but I hope you love the printer!
My thought, just need to get it financed 😀
Have loved mine, amazing device
Same here, just ordered mine.
@@jeffj5710 you'll love it so much, you may order more. I am in love with mine and amazed every time I use it at the quality and speed it performs.
great job man !!! you are very nice !!! keep going community !!!👍👍
With the cardboard spools, I rip the two sides off and then use the spools that came with the printer as they split in half. There are also spool models built into the printer. This works the best with the AMS so far. You do not need to remove the center cardboard spool as the spool model slips under that.
Thank you!
I messed around with all sorts of different rollers and rings for cardboard spools, even tried designing my own, but wasn't happy with any of them. You need rollers to be very snug on the cardboard so that they don't slip when the AMS is back-rolling them, but you also need them to be very narrow because the bottom of the AMS has channels that are only about 10mm wide, and if your rollers rub against those, you'll have retraction errors too. If your cardboard spool is dented or not perfectly rounded or centered, a roller can exacerbate that and make it wobble in the AMS, and if your roller has retaining clips that go over the edge of the cardboard to hold it in place, stuffing it under those clips can create the dents and imperfections you don't want. In the end, it's *much* easier to just wrap a single layer of electrical tape around each edge of a cardboard spool. That gives you great traction, no slippage, no extra width, doesn't need to be carefully adjusted for different brands, and it's faster than printing even the smallest roller. Which should be a lesson to us: not every problem is best solved with a 3D print.
The least amount of work for simple prints, is just to ditch the AMS and use the back spool holder.
You are a flipping hero. Thank you.
These are great upgrades for the Bambulab printers. The spool ring i use is from Blizzard called the Cardboard Spool Ring for Bambu Lab AMS (parametric) - I resized it for Polymaker cardboard spools by 1.5%
Just ordered P1P, but in mean time, decided to download Bambu Slicer and practice on my Ender 3 V2 (the only Creality printer option in version 1.4.1). And to my pleasure, it is fantastic and the quality of print is better than what I was getting with Prusa Slicer OOB and faster. Two Questions: 1) How can I setup my Ender 5 Plus as a new printer in the slicer? 2. Is there a way to directly send the gcode to the Sonic Pad Moonraker/Fluidd interface? Both printers have SonicPads...
Love your vids! Please would you keep making videos about the Bambu lab x1 carbon. Like time lapses with it and instruction videos. I would love to see more slicing tutorials with the Bambu slicer. I ordered one for myself recently can’t wait to play with mine!
Thank you! Absolutely, I have more videos coming!
How are you liking it? Worth the $$$?
The desiccant trays are awesome, so much money saved. Well the rest of the prints I already have before I saw your video, but super big thank you for sharing.
Omg this list is amazing. Need to print them all
There are already so many more since I made this video as well!
got my x1-c ordered it should be here in i say about a month or so. thanks for the info, this will really help me starting out!
Great video. I definitely need to print most of these. Especially the nozzle holder for my stretch goal nozzles.
You should! I think it looks sweet to have them displayed too. lol
An excellent collection of useful items for my X1 Carbon which should be arriving next week! Subscribed.
i use wood hardener on the edge of the cardboard spools works great
Great vid, thanks heaps. Are there recommended filaments for these upgrades? I only have PLA, wondering if I need a stronger filament to order with the X1C
Anything that gets hot should be at least PETG
@3:00 what is loose Desiccant ? Anyone have a URL of a good product to use with these new trays? How do I know when to replace it, or do I just dry it at that time? How? (new to all of this) @4:57 - what material should I be using to print this (thinking of heat resistance need...)
Great stuff you found, thanks👍 I did two smaller sized poop-buckets that can be found on Thingiverse ("bambu lab waste basket"). IMO one of the best mods for the Bambu Lab is a simple cotton-blanket to dampen this beast. First I bought some plywood boards and build a U-shaped enclosure for the sides and top, but the most sound emissions are coming from the back of the printer that needs to be accessible. So I just put a folded blanket on top of the AMS which is just hanging loose over the backside, but huge improvement. Not much improvement in decibel, but it filters this annoying high frequency hall-effect sounds very well and just sounds like common printer with it, not like a factory. IMO Bambu Lab should offer a silencer out of foam for it that fits nicely on the back.
Any Problems with heat or airflow?
@@VigiHunter Nope, the defaults work with all filaments I'm using and don't tinker with temperatures, flowrates etc., but just quality settings like shell- and infill-rates. I've one very cheap TPU-filament that wasn't working well and the default speed-settings with TPU should be reduced anyway.
@@Leynad778 Oh I don't means heat while printing but heat problems in the back where the PSU, Mainboard and stuff is. There is quite a large fan back there so I was wondering if a blanket makes it a heat trap 😅
@@VigiHunter Certainly not during a German Winter.
Just got mine today! Printing the poop chute as my first real print after the benchy :)
Hey Jim great video, only ordered mine on Friday but I'm stoked to be on the list. I love the build surface holder but I think someone needs to do a remix and stagger the slots from left to right so you can grab any of them from the side.
What type of filament should this be printed in? I'm waiting for mine to come and I want to get some of it done ahead of time.
Hi is there a printable file to use generic rolls like Esun or do they work fine in the AMS ? thanks David NZ
Hi Jim, what filment spools are compatible with the AMS?
For the last one with the center tearing out I suggest you design you own or use mesh mixer to fill in the center for stability
Great video, thanks for compiling and sharing the tips
Great video. I'm intending to put mine into a hacked ikea stand with the printer on top and a large garbage bag underneath. What I'm looking for is a printable poop shute that will allow me to "funnel" the poops out the back of the machine and then down thru a hole in the stand straight into a large gardage bin on the level below the printer. Does such a mod already exist?
For the cardboard spool edges, if you rotated it 90 degrees, it ends up being a lot stronger. But, it’s not very practical, and would require a ton of supports, but it might work…
Very helpful! Thank you!!
Please advise me if it is worth paying extra for x1 or is it better to take p1s?
Really appreciate the summary, thanks!
I am looking forward to mine... Can't wait actually. Never seen so many positive reviews.
I can't wait till you get one!
Just got mine! This thing is beautiful
Thank you!
thanks very much for all of your help with all this downloads.good work
Thanks, there are several dessicant holders at the cite on Printables. Which did you use?
This makes using the printer so much better
how and with which settings did you print the y-splitter. everytime i print one the filamnt is not going thru fully it is always stuck when it tries to go thru the ptfe tube on the out side of the splitter
I'm glad I came across this 3D printer, hoping to get one soon
Nuce upgrades! After the waste box, a ams riser was my 2nd upgrade I did!
Great stuff!
Thanks, I can't recommend that splitter however seems like that would be prone to jamming.
This is awesome. Thanks. I guess I’m gonna be printing that bucket PDQ because I bought this for the AMS. Still waiting for it but I’m ok with that.
Currently, I’m using a drill mounted spool winder that uses a 1/4 Allen key to attach to the drill and had strength to the part. I mount the bambulab spool on my drill and just rewind my filament from polymaker onto the bambulab spools.
Can't wait to get my Bambu X1 Carbon
I've given up on wheels for cardboard and gone back to printing my own full spools. I use Inland filament from microcenter, and even an extra 1/16" is enough to drag on the cover for the AMS. I may try and make my own wheels that don't wrap around the edges of the spool, but just barely extend past the edge.
Can you share where you got the Dual-Sided Textured PEl Plate from, the only PEI plate Bambu has is the Gold one, Temu has one similar to the one you have, and amazon has a few without the markings.
I don't know if polymaker changed their spool size since the models were designed, but the standard polymaker spools I have fit/work fine in my AMS without the additional adapters.
i have the same problem with the scraper. it hurts
Thanks great video
Coulnt you just scale the spool thingy up a bit so it fits? or use a Master Spool and just trasnfer the Material from Cardboard to Masterspool
thanks
Ordered this printer already haven't got it yet but currently use almost exclusively polyterra since I have a local distributor for it, is there a problem with using it in the AMS?
I have not had too many issues with the AMS at all. Hope you love it when you get it!
Did you try to feed TPU to AMS hub for printing multiple materials with TPU ? by that way maybe we can use external spool holder -> AMS hub
For the Y splitter, what do you mean 'ams is unbplugged'. I mean, can you go through the steps to make a print from filament in the AMS, to make a print from filament on the back. Thank you.
Great video. Thanks!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Hi Jim, Thanks for the video. It makes me want to have one even more. Please show us more of it and its prints. And, if a human poop chute clogs, it is not good too 😉
Haha
When it comes to the spool cover I would say it's a perfect reason to learn some CAD software, a model like that would two minutes in Fusion360 (hobby licence) + a pair of cheap callipers.
Too much effort. You can just scale it in Bambu Studio.
@@drCox12 It's effort that's well well worth it, once you have some CAD skills you can unlock the true potential of your printer.
@@seanblake4291 I agree but you should never overcomplicate things. If there's an easy and reliable way to get the job well done, then take it. Unneccessary complexity is prone to failure which leads to frustration which leads to loss of motivation. Learn step by step: Learning how to scale things in Bambu Lab is a lesson that is also applicable in CAD. Because just scaling the model is exactly what an experienced CAD user would do.
Can u use the printed splitter to load and use TPU? asking for a friend.. TIA
Duramic cardboard spool printed rings work on the poly as well
Also, with the poop chute container, maybe modify to angle the bottom to an outside corner, create a through hole, and put it out over a garbage can? Then as the waste comes through it'll empty right to the waste bin. Just a thought. 😁
I always thought it would be fun to have a slide attached to the back with magnets and then go down behind the desk to a trash can! Then it would really be a poop shoot!
Super high quality video, great work! I'm jealous of your studio - and your X1
We need the STEP files to add some thickness to the center hole in the cardboard adapters. That would make the area thicker and less prone to fracture. -OR- you have to do the hoop jumping and go through FreeCAD to convert the STL to a solid model then save it as a STEP file. Then.... Make the corrections/alterations.
Hello, do you think placing the X1C on a antivibration mat like for washing machines could get the noise levels down a bit? Mine is on the second floor and I can hear it trashing about in my downstairs living room.
Maybe! It certainly would help from transferring the vibrations to whatever kind of table or countertop you have it on. And that would probably cut down the noise to the rest of the house.
Great info Jim, I was in need of a poop bucket for my poop chute.
😂😂
Great video! When I imported the poop bucket stl into my Bambu slicer, I got a message "error - a gcode path goes beyond plate boundaries". Can I safely ignore?
Same here, if you find a solution let me know thanks
I got the P1P 2 Days ago - Woot!!!
Woww ... technology has really gone amazing... which i can get this.
Actually the single piece version of the front lip prints fine in the X1. No need to split it.
Trick with the desiccant trays. If you have stockpiled filament I never throw the desiccants that come with those away, and I just keep recharging that.
The revised “magnetic” poop shoot version is absolutely excellent.
You said that you would put a link in the comments to the files for the print. Can't seem to find them 🙂
Take a look at the description of the video, and you'll find all of them!
Yes. Filament under the nail is death !
I just thought, has anyone tried using parafilm medical tape on the cardboard edges? Its really stretchy, one wrap i think might do it.
Wow love all these usable printable items... I am new to the Banbu x1 Carbon and was wondering if you have done a video explaining all the different bed plates and some of the other accessories that is offered by Bambu? Printing my third item now the poop scoop so far really am loving this printer. I have the Sovol SV IDEX and my first printer is the Anycubic Kobra which is also a good printer. The Sovol requires a lot of tinkering around to get both extruder set right. Thanks, Dave...
Hey Dave! I'm glad you're liking it! I don't have a video like that but I do appreciate the idea! Thank you for watching and I look forward to seeing your comments in the future!
X1 Carbon Morpheus? Oh by the way, maybe painting the edge of the cardboard spools with nail varnish might make them strong enough to stand upto the AMS.
Wow I never knew this will happen
Thx du’… and woah! 😆
Been there. Today too :D
You know you can upscale the spool rings to fit your spools right? I mean its a matter of measuring and inputting the correct diameter in the slicer...
I was hoping to see something good. For your Polymaker problem you can design your own in CAD, and print them in PETG, which stands up better than PLA. Design your own. I did with my ECO spools, which were smaller than the Overture rings I had.
I’m so glad I’ve come across this 3D printer, and can’t wait to get my hands on it. Also, can you use 3rd party filaments with this printer? It’s not a deal breaker if you can’t.
I have this printer and use third party filaments no issues so far. Used pla, pla+, pla-cf, silk pla, and asa.
For cardboard spools, just cover the edge with electrical tape.
Polymaker has a file on printables for their spools now
3:34 Where to get the Files for the Battle RC thingy?
You can recharge packets of desiccant as well
True! But I like the idea have it holding more too. Thanks for watching!
Dude.. When you pulled out #5 with the feet to the build plate holder I actually died.
😂😆 Glad you were revived to write this comment!
What is the tank and where can I find it?
I see what you did there - @1:17 🤣🤣💩 oops - Great vids!
What kind of reliability or customer service are you guys having with the Bambu machines?
Good question! It's been good for me! But they are still growing and they are not perfect. It's much better than most other companies though!
Tried electrical tape on the edge of an Overture cardboard spool this weekend. 13 hour + print later, all is well.
Scale up the ring in the slicer to fit
I got your new spool cover with the modded center that won't break
Awesome! Where do I find it?!
@@TheEdgeofTech I modified the one you used.
yo - purge lines under the finger nail hurt me like no other possibly could. I could not fathom how much that hurt - way more than one would expect. I got myself pretty good though.... drew blood.
I re-spool filament from cardboard spools onto used plastic spools
I see what you did there with the #2
Haha 😂
great video, skip the cardboard protectors, electrical tape, takes 30 seconds naturally wraps to the spool
You shouldn't need to unplug the AMS. When starting a print deselect the "use AMS" option
where are the links to the files to print these objects?
Found them!
Cool, didn't know Weird AL has a KZhead printing channel
You can always dehydrate the dececant !
Gotta give him props for making the “poop shoot” #2 on his list. 💩
