Bambu just a quick suggestion for all of your printers could you make a kit for adding 3rd party cameras such as the insta 360 link and have it be the printer camera on bambu handy and studio
PSA: this only happens, when you have weak bed adhesion! Usually, it is enough to clean the magentic bed regularly with dish soap and avoiding leaving finger smudges on the bed. But don't be afraid to use the bed adhesion glue, it is much less work than cleaning a blob.
Good tip but glue is for the bed safety it allows you to easly remove 3D model form the bed without damaging it. It doesn't help with athesion or help just a little.
My printer supplier explicitly told me I should have cleaned the bed with isopropyl alcohol after every print and you will never have this issue. So yeah. I’m ordering that along with a new nozzle because mine was damaged pretty bad the other day.
This happened to me yesterday and i shit myself.. Clump was all over the parts and worse than this video clump! im new to all this so video really helped. had most of it off but stiil needed this video... Cheers!
I had this and i could not get the hot end that clean and the hinges for the nozzle was all stuck with filament. I just went to the bambu lab site to order a new hot end and that was much better then trying to clean it.
Literally cotton glove liners lol They sell them for cooking/BBQ. Liners + nitriles let you handle very hot things. I would still be careful, but they work really well.
I heated up the hot end in maintenance mode too 250 degrees then once it reached that temp I took it out of the unit and wiped the physical hot end and every thing whipped right off like in the video I used a regular papper towel now a baby whip would have been nicer and I Will stress to make sure you wear heat safe glove to protect your hands it is very hot
Everything is good, but there is one problem that is not in this video. The filament remains in the hinges of the hot-end fuse and it hardens as soon as it cools down and cannot be opened or cleaned.
@@void-h2n I have a heat gun which i used to soften the plastic then used tweezers to scrape it off the hinges till it could close properly. I had translucent PETG stuck on mine so it was so hard to do 😭
yeah you should probably mention not touching the hot end while you are unscrewing all of that and wear the gloves. one slip and you are burnt. i would't even put the gloves on the heated hot end. should use a qtip or a tool
In case the blob is made of PETG, what's the recommended method to soften it if the hairdryer can't provide enough heat? Do I risk damaging the fan or the plastic duct with a heat gun at 100 °C?
Wish I had seen this when it came out. Had a clog like this and ripped out one of the wires on the heating element. Replacing that is cheap (thanks!) but took FOREVER!
i know that was what happend with mine. what i did was heat it up use the pilers and grabbed the nozzle all of it came out and i just pulled the clog infornt of my fan out
@@OneAnt8000 If your print unsticks on high layers you get spaghetti. On low layers there is no place to go for that spaghetti and it gets clumped together on a hot nozzle.
personally, my solution with my e3v3se was just heat up the nozzle, pull off the blob, and if its stuck through the nozzle hole in the silicone sock, smash it on the ground
Do you need to wear an FFP mask while pla is heating and ongoing steps? Please reasonable answers...i'm sick of conspiracy theories and unreasoned conclusions about the topic
It doesn’t work this way. It’s never that easy and doesn’t come out that clean. It’s always replace everything when it happens. I have yet been able to clean it up so it worked without replacing a lot of parts.
I thought this was wrong at first as well, but you actually are raising the x-axis. You are raising the entire x-axis along the z axis, so I believe it's correct.
@@SteveBennet500 The one time this happened to me I knew bed adhesion would be dicey and yet I didn’t monitor the print. I did not fault the printer design because the problem was entirely preventable by me, also because through 7+ years of printing I have a pretty good understanding of design decisions/tradeoffs so I don’t think this is an unreasonable or unexpected outcome. I have an idea for a modification but I believe it would result in reduced print quality or possibly other issues so I’ll just be extra diligent when it comes to print adhesion. You clearly feel differently and maybe see a solution that is not apparent to me so we will agree to disagree. Happy 3D printing!
It actually means that they care about their customers and want their experience to be as good as possible. A video straight from the company shows that they know what they are doing here.

No I am never using adhesion glue, not if I'm printing PLA, PETG or TPU at least.

Thank you! Had this happen twice in 2 days. Going to clean the bed now

What kind of magic gloves let you handle a 250 degree chunk of metal?
Literally cotton glove liners lol
They sell them for cooking/BBQ.

Flex tape
Thermal insulating gloves are widely used in many industries, handling 300C hot items for 10-15 seconds is not a problem
Does anyone know what they are using to wipe the heatend with??? 2:27
To me it looks like those baby wet wipes. But im not 100% sure.

today mine clogged up so catastrophically bad it's covered some of the screws necessary to dismantle the fan
Mine bunched up on the back wires and ended up pulling them out
Mine clogged up so bad that I can't even get it out =( I just got it a few weeks ago😭😭😭
@@H8R_3D Same here. Wouldn't heat because wires were torn out. Made it hard to fix. Was weighing if my anger was worth $299 or just $20 bucks 😂
@@H8R_3Dmine did that too, I have no idea what to do. What did you end up doing ?
@@weasel101same here, how did you end up fixing it ?
What do you wipe the hot end off with. Is that paper towers or what?
Looks like a gun cleaning swab type of thing, maybe with acetone added?
When I did this the hotend heating assembly wires broke off. How should I fix this
Thanks!
What kind liquid to use on cloth, isopropanol?
Probably acetone, ipa doesn't melt plastic like that
why this problems happens ?
Would have been nice, but it ripped the thermal sensor wires out so I couldn't heat the hotend.
This does not work because my fan screws are blocked by my clog
i know that was what happend with mine. what i did was heat it up use the pilers and grabbed the nozzle all of it came out and i just pulled the clog infornt of my fan out

this never happend to me with my cheap Ender 3 v3 SE, I'm about to upgrade to an A1 Combo, is ths a common issue?
Not happening to me… yet..
I had blobing issues before when i got my ender 3v3se printer. It was not pretty.
How would this happen?
Poor bed adhesion. Watch those first layers like a hawk. Clean bed often.
I have this problem all the time I use 0,8 nozzle.
@@darksider63 I dont understand how that would cause it

Don't for get to clean the back and be very careful of the wires
Do you need to wear an FFP mask while pla is heating and ongoing steps?
Please reasonable answers...i'm sick of conspiracy theories and unreasoned conclusions about the topic
I think that PLA has non-toxic fumes and is alright to breath in. But I would say that while fixing it you wear a mask.
This happens a little bit too often...😢
Oh no does this printer suffer from this blobbing effect?
Trick question! All printers suffer from that.

Don't buy a 3D printer from them. They lie about the stock on their website. deadlines are not met
Customer service is a JOKE, and blocked me for asking too many questions.
Ikr? Like what else are we supposed to do
Lol, bots never call customer services.
A video on how to clean this issue is one thing, a video on how to fix so this doesn't happen again is another.
Correct, they would be 2 different videos.

The fact that bambulab needs to make an official video for this proves its a design failure.
You are new to 3D printing. All printers can do this blob if the print fails.
It actually means that they care about their customers and want their experience to be as good as possible. A video straight from the company shows that they know what they are doing here.
Ummm I am new to printing but I even know that it's not bambu related, it's bad adhesion
