Did you also own an ender prior? I own 3 enders but its just so frustrating that I can't rely on them without constant tinkering wanting to upgrade to a X1C to avoid all this hassel and just print carelessly.

I hope we get something that is basically a merging of the prusa xl and x1c.

This, plus using thermal paste instead of silicone grease won't make the z-axis motion fantastically smooth which may well have contributed.

Exactly 🙌

lol absolutely >.

They got a second one when they saw he used low temp thermal paste on a hotend that can go to 300 degrees C. The thermal paste will dry out, crack, the contact with the thermistor will become worse, and eventually your hotend starts running a lot hotter than you want to the point where it's a potential fire hazard.

They'll chock it up to testing probably. "OH boy, let's see what happens so we can tell other people how they screwed up and not allow a warranty claim"

You're in luck! I have a new channel for that: youtube.com/@skapaallt

​@@make.anything Awesome! Thanks för sharing!

The AMS is restocked!!

I was thinking the same thing.

Thanks! I moved mostly for the adventure of it, but I go into more depth on my other channel Skapa Allt :)

@@make.anything I found you searching Skapa Allt . Gooooooooooood luck there. It is a very different way to live and one must like snow and cold! I subscribed your channel so I don't have to ask questions you answered on Skapa Allt .

Thanks! The files will be out soon :)

Note to add: Oh man! All the holes in the spool thing...YES!!! That is always something I complain about! No one gives enough holes for the filament to go. It's ridiculous how they don't think of that! That is pretty awesome!

I'll be ordering some proper thermal paste ASAP, but good tip about removal, thanks!

not exactly, I pulled my hand away quickly and hit the printer body >.

I’m not sure that’s the issue. I just had a couple of very large prints start pausing and causing artifacts. I turned the printer off and then back on and it resumed the print with no pausing.

@@geekmommy4 i was just throwing a possibility out there. It could be so many things. We all have different printers on different firmwares. Edit: there's also the video from cnc kitchen titled (how) i finally got rid of these blobs, from a couple years ago. Bottom line is that stl saved with absurd numbers of triangles lead to issues in the gcode execution if it's not mitigated properly.

the resemblance is uncanny :O

Yes, the slicer has presets for several different brands and includes a generic. You have to tell the AMS what the filament type and color is, since it can't read that info from an NFC tag like it can for Bambu filament, but other than that it works just fine with third party filaments. (I primarily use Inland)

It does. You'll lose the automatic material detection tied to the NFC tag but generally other filaments should work fine. The AMS can have problems with cardboard spools as well but I know people have come up with workarounds

No, you can print locally with a micro SD.

@@make.anything Thank you for the quick response :)

Ha awesome! We moved to California in 2022 after living in Sweden for 8 years! Definitely take vitamin D if you aren't already, we had a great time over there and still have an apartment we visit often@@make.anything

It's amazing, even with the rain :D

The vacation convinced me to stay! 😁

Just found you livestream about it all.. Looking forward for "events".. Living in Gothenburg.. Looking forward riding along your Swedish experiment :-) @@make.anything

Sometimes those buttons work for me but other times it just doesn't update or it says there are no compatible filaments

Have also been suffering connection issues after the X1C had been powered down, the printer does not seem to be available although on the printer it shows an active wifi connection. Rebooting either the printer of Bambu slicer seems to eventually solve the problem

Do you mean the print surfaces hold up worse, or the printer gets worse at printing them?

I am also wondering what you specifically mean, the top layer stops printing well and has defects or that the top layer is weak and breaks easily because of poor layer adhesion or something else so to the speeds. I tend to print outside layers at slow speeds but that only affects the last layer on top vertically. There are also a ton of printers that print fast, or faster than this one. It's still not great for CF as you really need a heated controlled chamber to get the best CF prints. You can also increase the top wall layers ..... It doesn't seem like Prusa is doing anything. I saw they had a 5 tool head printer but it was 5K and aimed towards professionals. It costs almost half to get an unassembled printer than an assembled one and takes 2 or 3 days to assemble IF you know what you're doing. If you order an assembled one it's 3 to 4 months of waiting. I wish multi tool head printers were cheaper as this method can waste a lot of filements and it's slower. Multiple tool heads are pricey for obvious reasons but WAY The printer has to be able to switch them itself, which can't be easy but it's way faster to swap tools heads with different color filement already in them then chance filements like the Bambu does. it's also much cheaper to make with Bambu's method though

Thanks for the heads up!

thanks for the heads up!

True but the extra nozzle sent with the printer has none of those things so unless he has bought one (or Bambu sent him one) it had to be done or order one and wait. I heard getting the clip on there can be tricky to go around the thermistor and hearing pad also. Having the entire unit is super quick as you said but just the thermistor and heater cable is 20 bucks when I think a completely assembled hardened nozzle is just under 40 with the fan and cables.

Did Bambu labs announce a new flagship coming out?

they said the will give tickets to recieve the "2024 flagship" to the winners of a contest they had. so the only confirmation is the year not when. but yes. @@Docfly62

i'm hoping it's early this year not the end of the year >.

I was trying to capture a feeling

Are you talking specifically about Bambu PETG or any brand PETG (overature, poly maker, ect...). This is by far the best printer for PETG I've used personally. With that said, it sticks to nozzles easily and usually has some minor imperfections on a print, usually stringing or some very small blob of filements getting stuck somewhere. I assume you are "baking" or heating it in some way to remove moisture, correct? Preferably through a dedicated dryer because if not, that's most likely the issue. Outside carbon fiber, or any carbon fiber variant, PETG is the most hydroscopic filement that I'm aware of. I had some issues and threw it in a dryer for 4 or 5 hours and it printed perfectly. I know they say pretty much every filement has issues if it absorbs too much water from the air but PETG is the only one where I have noticed how huge of a difference it can make. I don't print a lot of CF though which I know is the worst. The humidity sensors in those dryers are also very cheap and inaccurate so always best to dry longer or put an accurate humidity sensor which is pricey. The biggest issue for me, which may have something to do with your issue is the nozzle leaks or not properly wiping off filement (especially with PETG). If I don't home the printer before a print I can see the filament oozing out if the plate is half way down and also before a print. With PLA this isn't an issue but it is for PETG because the P1 nozzle wiper isn't great with PETG. Not sure about the X1 or A1, never used or seen one in action.

Oh that's cool I wasn't aware of it! I wonder how energy efficient it is, considering the chamber is much larger than a 1 kg spool. Definitely good to know for when I want to dry a handful of spools at once!

@@make.anything i am curious on the feature myself but have not needed to test the feature yet. i will update if i end up using it

😣
