This is the type of tutorial I appreciate. It is in depth but not talking down to a person and provided an actual example and thorough reasoning behind each decision.

you can print a purge object instead of a tower in order to not waste that filament (just a random object with around the same height, for which coloring is not a factor)

Great video. Learned a few tips. On the "poop" issue, you can select where the "poop" goes . It can go to infill and/or object and/or supports. Select under "Others"/"Flush Options".

Yes, we need a recycling solution!

Just installed my AMS and this was the first video I clicked on. Thank you. I don't need to go watch any other video. Very thorough and doesn't seem to be anything left out.

Hi From Australia, and thank you for your videos, i am 75 not new to 3D printing but very new to the XC1, I learn more everyone i watch the videos.

Another fantastic tutorial! I’m 3 weeks into figuring out 3D printing. I’m learning how to use a Neptune 3 max and a bambu P1S, you’ve been instrumental with helping figure out cura and bambu studio. Keep up the great work Chris!

It took me all day to find you on You Tube. There were so many unboxings and beginner videos in front of you. You are the man. Great video big dad.

great tutorial. And your voice and speaking style (intonation, pauses, etc.) along with the on screen examples made uptake super easy. thanks!

Love the info! Being new, this was very easy to follow along. Thanks!!

Watched all your vids to learn how to get down the basics at slicing. My class is teaching me CAD but ignores slicing but you've given me plenty to study, thank you. Your vids are better than some 10x your sub count, please keep it up!

Amazing video. Just got my Bambu with AMS and you explained everything. Congrats and thank you !

What a wonderful tutorial ! After watching this I bought this printer and the AMS 😊

Great tutorial! As far as the waste goes, I thought I read somewhere about people doing their color primes in actual models? Like an additional model where they don't care about the color and color changes that wind up being in it? Simpply run the minimum amount of filament out as "poop" and the actual color/material transition can occur in the prime model. Once your print is complete, you get your focus part as well as a little bonus part instead of a blocky prime tower!

Great video, as always! Keep up the hard work - All us new-people appreciate your time, efforts and incurred costs of producing these!

WOW... Keep these tutorials coming... I'm just printing out some tools & holders and some must haves to really setup my X1C with top lighting. My other accessories/plates came today so I can print PETG + others.

Loved your example with the base colour "mistake". Super helpful for learning. Thanks!

Very helpful video. Hopefully solved an issue I had. As far as poop. It is my intention to use mine in a raised garden bed as drainage material instead of rrocks and sticks.

Thank you!!! I'm starting with ams and multicolor print.

lol, when you clicked on the foot with the gold fill tool, my first thought was "god, I hope he next tells me that 'undo' works!" Phew, it does!

This video just what I needed and the multi-model flushing tower savings tip is great.

Thankyou! This tutorial is so clear and easy to follow. I’m looking forward to printing in colour now instead of dreading it. 👍

Great tutorial! I never knew a use case for "Section view", until now 🎉

I just got my Bambu and I’m learning a lot from your videos!! keep the Bambu series going. I subscribed of course!

Thank you for these in depth tutorials. I just want to say that your content is very engaging, maybe its your enthusiasm, all the tips and tricks and how its presented in an easy to digest manner. I tend to zone out in boredom when I'm watching tutorials but these vids have been great I'm right there with you on your views with the filament waste btw. I don't plan to throw away any of them, 3D printing is awesome but it already introduces a lot more plastic thats not easily biodegradable. Throwing purge blocks and ams poop on top of that makes me feel terrible. I'll be collecting all of them same as you when my printer comes in. I'm also hoping that we will be able to recycle the plastics in the near future!

Brand new to 3d Printing, and came across this video. I normally only watch to see what i needed to know and then move on ... i watched the entire video. Respect! I have subscribed and liked the video. Thank you!

Hi, there are some options for the wasted material like you say, out there are some people trying to melt it and make some other pieces. With an injection mold machine this is a great option. Also, a pellet extruder can be another option, just need a shatter machine to make wasted material smaller and can be used directly into a pellet extruder. I think the most important is to make a good division of the wasted material by color and type of filament to make color as precise as possible. .

For the prime/flush tower you can create a "flushie" basically just create a new print from what's being flushed, super helpful if you don't mind the colour of the print 😁

Loved the video. I just got my AMS this week. It answered a lot of questions I had. Bravo my friend.

Excellent video instruction. Starting to bonge your channel because I am finally taking the 3D printing stuff more seriously. One of the things that got me back interested is the power of being able to do multiple color prints. Sorry for the length of this comment. When you paint the model using the sphere, circle, or triangle tool how many layers are being painted - or is this a relevant question at all? I fear I may have a fundamental knowledge gap about the multicolor process and operation of the printer. I am trying to close that. I have been watching various videos on programs like hueforge and setting up models in F360, Inkscape/Tinkercad, etc. to not have to paint the models. I figured I needed to go back to basics to understand how the printer is interpreting the information and applying it. Your channel appears to do a good job o talking about basics so I subscribed and hit the all bell. This video touched the surface of this topic, will be binge watching and looking for more insights on how the printer is working. For example: I see people bring in multiple STL (let's say 4) that they export from TinkerCad. Then they stack them on the build plate, get them aligned and select each one to be a different color based on that layer. I still need to learn this and how that works. One question is does this then do one full color for each of those layers? If so how do I make sure the print is flush on the top (if that is what I wanted)? If I understand your video discussion aroung time 36, the colors need to change (however many are applicable) each layer so multiple flushes in a layer. But when I watch these other videos I get the impression they are making a color change per layer to end up with the colored result (like a hueforge print). I think I am confused. Sorry way too long but looking for insights on the fundamentals of how the printer is functioning with multiple color changes (hence the significant amount of waste you discussed. Do you have more in depth tutorials on this topic?

Thanks for this tutorial! Big help for utilizing the ams system. Just got my A1 yesterday and its already hard at work. Very helpfull!

Excellent video. You addressed a lot of questions I have had. Thank you.

Just ordered a P1S with AMS so this is amazing for me to pre-learn, thanks Chris.

You’re videos are very well done. Exceptional.

Loving your videos I am learning loads from you!! Thank You for all you do for the 3d world.

I used to work in the research department at Hallmark Cards. It was several years ago but we used an extruder to blend virgin material and rerun material. I would think there are smaller extruders out there you could extrude the poop material maybe blending it with a black die and extruding it to the same size as the filament.

I havent paid attention to the amount of poop when color changes happen so that was a real eye opener!

Excellent information! I learned quite a bit from this video regarding coloring my prints and solved a lot of my frustration. Huge Thanks!

Great video, super glad I found your channel. Very deliberate & in-depth. Thanks!

Thank you!! I really like your videos! Happy printing to you))

Helpful video, thank you!

Hi Chris, I'm glad you're making these Bambu videos. I've had my bambu printer for a while now so I personally am doing ok with mine. However there are still a few things I struggle with. I'll be giving this video a watch later tonight. I do have another idea for a future video. Do you think you will make a bambu video on printing with pla and using petg for a support interface layer and vice versa? This works so well. The underside of my models with overhangs come out just as good as the top surface. I think the community could benefit from your easy to understand way of explaining stuff.

Very informative! I am keeping my filament waste also for the multi color / material recycling. that's hard also because I have some ASA mixed into my bucket. I am keeping my glow filament waste separate as I plan to shred it and use it to include in resin molds :) very excited for a Bambu like Filament recycle system that also has filament welding to combine filaments the next thing for you to explore is the adaptive smoothing feature for round items, like the panda's belly.

Thank you for timestamps! Perfect tutorial

Good video. Very well done and easy to follow along with you. Yes it is good if you keep going on into the software, it will help us all I am sure. Thank you

Thank you for providing valuable information 😃 since I am learning 3d printing

Thanks for the great video. I have Ender 3 and K1 so am coming from Crealty software and Cura. I just ordered the P1S with AMS and this is very helpful and gave me something to do while waiting for it to arrive!

Awesome, awesome and just awesome tutorial video!! Thanks for sharing!!!

Your videos are amazing, I really appreciate your dedication

Thanks so much for your educational and entertaining video. I feel like you have a production value of a much bigger channel(I hope that's not taken as a back-handed compliment). I think you are going to get exponentially more followers as everyone is getting into 3d printing. Your style and branding is perfect for merch. I believe all you need to do is keep doing what you're doing. Thanks again for all the knowledge.

Thank you for this great tutorial! I just setup my printer yesterday and this was so helpful.

Excellent video.

3:07 For the best results and the smallest flush tower, hit the Auto-calc button and then typically apply a 0.5 multiplier. Also, make sure to use the "flush into infill" setting in the main panel.

Great man! Got my bambu yesterday, this helps so much!

I wish I could get the Duck STL so I can follow along and practice.

Lovely tutorial, simply explained and yet very detailed. I am waiting for my P1S to arrive and and completely new to 3d printing but this tutorial gave me a great headstart. And hopefully there will be a way to recycle the poops into new fillament

Great tutorial!

perfect video, exactly what i needed , ty!

Great video buddy, thanks for making this thorough tutorial! You got a new subscriber :)

Thanx for the guide, was really helpful. 👍

Best vídeo for beginners. Thanks you.

Excellent video .. thanks! Can you do one on cleaning up prints after printing

100 thumbs up. Keep it up!

Great tutorial. Thx

I don’t have a Bambu yet but with my Enders I’m going to cut the scraps up and melt them into silicone molds. Some of the molds I have are paw print keychains and earrings and skulls.

I was working on this last night. My p1s will be here Wednesday

Great video! Can you set the depth of the painting somewhere once its been painted in Bambu Labs Studio? I have lettering that I would like two layers deep

I usually put the waste in a coffee grinder to make them very small, then use the small crushed filament to fill resin cast molds like dices or flower and cast a resin art that I can give/keep.

Thanks for a great tutorial video !

Thank you ! 😊

Hi Cris, I have a Bambu A1 Mini, when printing towards the end of all of my prints the print head will hit and free it from the bed. I printed 5 Geckos and only 2 came out. 3 of them were hit by the print head. Thank you. I love your videos

Thank you so much for making your tutorials in dark mode. I'm legally blind and thus strughle tremendously with seeing basically any tutorial out there that is in "normal contrast." Since you use dark mode in your turtorials, i can actually mostly follow along, albeit a bit slower (your mouse/poibter is a bit small for me to track. So, it takes me a bit to find where you moved your mouse). Anyways, just wanted to say thank you.

if you change the setting infil before outline you can turn down the filament purge

Incredible video! 🙏🏻

With SOME combination of my print designs, and really this is like 1% heh, I actually reuse the wipe tower by placing them into other prints to use their density to add weight to a base. But this is really a very small amount of time and I want to better design my prints to take advantage of (or supply) this. At least there is a tiny bit of reuse there though.

Thank you for the tutorial very well done. I am new to all this. I have the A1 and have yet to see a prime tower i have only done a couple mixed colors. Does the A1 even make a tower.

very informative, great video.

Relatively new to Bambu & AMS, but not to 3d printing or multi-material prints. With the Prusa MMU, you get the purge tower, used to purge the leftover filament from the nozzle on each change, same as here. With the Bambu poop chute serving that same purpose, I would have expected to do away with the tower. What purpose does it serve here beyond wasting extra filament purging twice?

When I first got my printer and did an amd print I freaked out because it shows the flushing block as being huge and I thought it was going to actually print that size and waste a huge amount of filament. Was so relieved when it was only a few layers high when actually printed

Hi Chris, just got my 3D printer this Christmas and have been searching for training videos. Just wanted to let you know that yours are by far the most informative and best paced ones I have found. Thank you so much for keeping it slow and detailed for newbies. Tried to find the poop chute in thangs but was not successful. Could you please provide a link to see if I can make one. Thank you again for your informative videos. Take care...

Hey loved your video!!! (I'm now looking into getting a P1S lol ---- BBL = expensive though lol) Hey #2, for your filament waste look into injection molding of household stuff like combs and stuff. I have seen some people doing this and selling their prints and scrap on shops.

Thanks!

I was wondering, is there a setting in the studio to ‘not change filament’ so you can create a layered color overflow(?)? I know there’s filament types for to create overflows, but it would be cool to play with this manually within the studio instead of coincidence from the filament type (not adjustable)..

I am new here and love you videos, learning a lot so thank you. I would like to ask a question about color and printing. I would like to make an item that will be flat on the back but stepped up on the other side. it is 10mm in height and the base is 3.5mm second layer is 2mm (5.5 mm total at this point) the base can be all white and the second is to be red. the rest of the print is white, red, blue and gray. Bambu wants to print the color all they way thru (156 filament changes) i think making the base all white and then red on top of that would count out a lot of filament changes. How do i do that?

Yay!!

Great video!

Hello! thank you for this tutorial, it was really useful. Can you please tell me how to prevent stl files or makerworld files from overriding all my profile options? I have to set all my filament settings every single time I try to download something!

Setup flushing to infill so it uses the messy filament as infill.

Is it not possible to do all the purging and tower into another printed item? I'm thinking something basic like a door stop or the like.

One thing you can do with the filament is heat it in a silicone mold and make coasters. But making it into filament is fair.

Forgot to ask, do you have a link to flexi panda? My grandkids would love this and did't see it in your description.

Im trying to do a straight line around the perimeter on a flat object, like a frame. How would you do that?

What Filament do you like to use in the Bambu X1 C? Great videos, Learned so much from you! Keep them coming. TY

Did Flush into objects' infill/support not exist yet? It is under the others tab and can reduce the flush tower size and do something useful with the material.

sorry but a suggestion. use primary color the one that is hardest to paint. aka if you are printing dice. make the dice black(the pips) and then click the open area white. or duck make the the figure grey (eyes) then the other larger areas the color you want.

Great video- thanks! Just wish you would take a minute and link to the print for the .stl of the Panda Bear...

Fantastic tutorial !!

It would be good if that wiping tower could somehow be used as a secondary non-critical model so as to be able to use that filament rather than wasting it. For example, I print mainly utilitarian kinds of models. My main model would be set up as described in the video. If I were printing required small attachments like nuts or bolts and it didn't matter what color they were as long as they were also well printed and functional, all of that otherwise wasted filament would no longer be wasted.

Thanks for the video. I was about to return my Carbon because I am too big of a NOOB to understand it. Now I am excited to see what I can do. I am really curious about possibly using the AMS to print support with soluble filiment. If you could test that out and let us know I would be grateful.

Nice work! I've got a project running for the super bowl. I'm trying to find a way to copy a normal graphics file to my drawing. I can find the graphics, of course, anybody can do that, however, I'm having a hard time getting it into the image i downloaded. Think happy thoughts, like a beer mug. I've got a round beer mug with everything i want except for the team logo which i can download in all too many formats. I'm using Bamboo Lab x1 Carbon and absolutely love the machine. Unfortunately I'm not in love with my abilities yet. If you want to click and drag a design into the system and apply it to the round surface you would have the same issue. I'm obviously looking at the wrong places. Any ideas?
