Fixed my Bambu Lab 3D Printer Upgrade for only a Penny!

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 ส.ค. 2023
- I solved a filament jamming problem when I tried to install a “Y” adapter for my Bambu Lab X1 Carbon AMS combo 3D printer. The Y adapter upgrade allows you to manually add filament from an external filament spool without disconnecting the AMS Teflon tubing, however the filament kept jamming so I solved the problem by designing and 3D printing a miniature funnel insert. I have also included how I made a clever filament dry box using a cereal box from the “Build It Make It” website that works with the "Y" adapter.

Shop Safety:
In some of my videos I will share my experiences regarding shop safety. This is based on my knowledge and understanding, however ultimately you are responsible for your own safety so you will need to determine how to properly operate equipment in your shop to maintain your safety. You may want to consider taking some woodworking classes at
your local college or craft center. Some Woodcraft stores around the US also offer classes on woodworking. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
8/22/23 UPDATE: I have now added all links in the Description for: my Printables link for my PTFE Connector Tapered Insert, Ed Johnson's Y- Splitter link, Make It Build It Cereal Box Dry Box link, and my friend Steve's modifications to the Cereal Box Dry Box. Thanks for all of your interest!
Good Video. The cereal box and Y adapter should solve a space problem for me by allowing the printer to pushed closer to the wall.... Thanks very much!!!
Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it!
The small part brought the solution to the problem I was suffering from. Thank you so much!
Subbed!
I’m very glad the part helped you out! Also, thanks for subscribing 😊
8/21/2023: At several viewers requests, I have created a Printables link for my PTFE Connector Tapered Insert and the link is in the Description. I have also added Ed Johnson's Y- Splitter link and the Make It Build It Cereal Box Dry Box link.
Im not seeing the link for the funnel
Nevermind. Had to refresh. Thanks
@@johnwest3036 I just checked and I see it in the description of the video. It’s the 3rd line under “Links for this video” and it’s titled “My YvAdapter Funnel Insert” When I click on the link it takes me to my Printables page. What do you see when you are looking in the Description?
Thanks for posting it up 🎖
Great video👍
Thanks for the feedback 😊
Is there a link for the funnel yet ?
@@johnwest3036 8/21/23 Update: I just added a link in the Description for a link for my funnel insert, Ed Johnson's Y Splitter and the Build It Make It Cereal Box Dry Box
One thing that may cause an issue for some is that Bambu PTFE tube has an inside diameter of 2.5mm, they like it a little loose for lower resistance. If you buy PTFE tube elsewhere it may come with a 2mm ID, so if you try to mate the two inside an adapter you may get a ledge that the filament gets hung up on. Not that this was the case for Ken, but something to be aware of for other mods.
Hi Steve thanks for pointing that out. I have only been using the Bambu Lab Teflon tubing. Thanks for pointing out the difference in tubing ID’s.
Are you sharing your insert model for others to print? If so, where can I download it?
Sure, I will be glad to share my insert design. Please give me 24 hours to set something up on Printables. Thanks for your comment!
@@ristinnovations Amazing, this is the exact issue I've been having with the Y splitters so I had just given up on them entirely. I'll give this a try, maybe printing it with resin will prevent the need for sanding, we'll see.
@@kylequinn1963 Sure, that’s a great idea if you have a resin printer. Thanks for your comment! please let me know how you make out.
This is awesome. This is the exact issue I was having. Thank you so much. I can’t wait for you to make it available. Also what’s your printables page? I would like to try out the cereal box solution you showed.
Literally just jammed my P1S last night. My y splitter setup is identical to yours & I believe this was the problem. Looking forward to trying your fix. Thanks for this!
Will be making this, fantastic design well done, and very well explained.
Thanks for the feedback! Good luck with your upgrade.
FYI. There are items in this 3mf for the insert that are only good in the latest bambu but it will open in Orca. It will not open in Prusaslicer or Cura.
That’s a very good point! I hadn’t thought about people wanting to use other slicer software. I just uploaded a stl file for my adapter in Printables. Thanks so much for pointing this out to me. This was my first upload to Printables so I’m going through the learning curve😊
great Job!!
Thanks!
Thank you for this. I used a different Y Adapter, works flawlessly.
Thanks for your comment 😊
I went through the same frustrating selection exercise until I ended with a 2 part flat design with no thread for fittings. These are a hassle to build because you have to do it in the back of the machine, but they don’t get stuck as easily. I was even able to print the two part wye/y adapter flat and at a 45 degree angle so that the layer direction of the inside walls coincided with the direction of the filament path. I also looked at mcmaster carr’s brass wye, but I wasn’t ready to shell out the $25 plus shipping.
Thanks for your feedback. That’s really helpful information😊
Excellent video. Subscribed!
Thanks for the feedback and subscribing to my channel. I really appreciate it😊
@@ristinnovations I had 2 other friends subscribe as well:-)
Thanks for being my ambassador 😊. I really appreciate it!
I am working a motorized feeder and retractor for the dry box I have so I don't have to separate the filament with my hands. just hit a remote to feed the fifth filament (or 9th :)) it looks like I can do this with a stepper motor and extruder from a creality 3 printer, I think? I have the X1C as my first printer but I am fully invested into this Hobby lol
That sounds really cool about your dry box. You went all in like me by getting the X1 Carbon as your first FDM printer. Best of luck!😊
I had issues with capricorn tubing and the pneumatic fittings on my Ender 5 Plus machines, the fix was to use compression fittings to replace the standard pneumatic ones that come with most Bowden systems, I think the teeth in the pneumatic fittings were slightly deforming the Capricorn tubing and my filament was getting slightly stuck and under extruding, the compression fittings use a small brass collet which fits around the tubing and the fitting compresses that to hold it tight, the advantage is also that I have never had to replace these fittings, the Pneumatic ones needed to be replaced every 5 months or so as the retractions would snap off the teeth.
That’s a great suggestion regarding using compression fittings! I’ll have to try that the next time. Thanks for the suggestion😊
so..... where's the link to the STL files so we can all benefit from your hard work? 🙂
I just added the links to Ed Johnson’s Y Adapter design and Build It Fix It Cereal Box Dry Box design in the Description of this video. I will add my link for my “funnel insert” by tonight (8/21). I just need to figure out how to upload a file to Printables. My friend Steve will upload his modifications to the Cereal Box Dry Box at Printables and provide me with his links. When I have his links, I’ll update the Description. Thanks for being patient😊
you are awesome!@@ristinnovations
Lol, you are going to make me blush😊
All the links are in the Description now!
Looks like there is a new version of Ed's design does that work? Also is there a link for the metal fittings and black rubber gaskets it looks like it needs?
I haven’t tried Ed’s new design. The fittings I used are on Amazon by searching Witbot PC4-M10 Male Straight PTFE Push in quick fitting connector.
Thank you for the video. If I may ask - could you add the links of the models you printed into the comment section of your video. I am asking not (only) for your funnel insert but also for the modified design of the dry box , as I really liked your design with the separated silicate box including a screw for the lid.
Yes, I contacted my friend who provided me with his dry box modifications and told me he would upload them to his Printables account. As soon as he has done that I will send you a message for his link. Thanks for your interest😊
@@ristinnovations - fantastic! Really looking forward for that. Thanks!
@@yolo6741 I am sorry that’s taking some time to get all the links set up. I hadn’t anticipated the interest ahead of time for the various links so I will be prepared for the next video to have that all worked out ahead of time before I upload future videos. Thanks for your interest😊
@@ristinnovations - Thank you so much for the quick response.
I'm really excited about your Move and Improve approach to your videos.
If I could offer one more suggestion, the comments section under your videos is starting to feel a bit cluttered.
Maybe you could consider moving the links to equipment and accessories to a separate webpage, thus keeping the video's comment section focused solely on its main content.
Of course, I understand that personal preferences can vary, and every approach serves a particular purpose.
Once again, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for the work you've put into these videos - I find them very well done and incredibly informative.
@@yolo6741 do you mean you recommend I move the woodworking equipment links that are in the description of my videos to somewhere else? I’m not quite clear what you mean about simplifying the comments.
I am still watching the video - I have not installed my AMS yet, but I know I need a Y-Splitters - so Perfect Timing
DO you have links for the cereal box, box prints and the y-splitter you used?
I can add the original links for the original cereal box design and the original Y Splitter design. Did you want a link to my small insert and the modifications that my friend made to the original cereal box design?
@@ristinnovations Yes Please - Easier to replicate if using the same items ;)
yeah please post links to all the parts in the video!
I just updated my Description to include the original designs. I will add my link for my “funnel insert” tonight. I just have to figure out how to do that. My friend Steve will upload his Cereal Box modifications on his Printables and then I’ll add his links to my Description. Thanks for your interest😊
8/21/23 Update: I just added a link in the Description for my insert design (I added Ed Johnson's Y splitter and the Build It/Make it Cereal Box Dry Box earlier today)
exactly, I have resorted to drilling out the inside, and even then its a lil sketchy. The champfer on the inside of the model that goes into the end is what is wrong. Watching now.Awesome fix! What others said, you sharing the insert sir?
I will be glad to share my insert file so please give me 24 hours so I can work out the details on Printables. Thanks for your comment.
8/21/23 Update: I just wanted to let you know I have added links for my tapered insert, Ed Johnson's Y Splitter, and the Build It Make It Cereal Box Dry Box.
All the links are in the Description now!
@@ristinnovations Will print one as soon as this print is done, you are the man! Seriously, thank you and a GREAT problem solver!
@@tombo7719 Thanks so much for the positive feedback! I will be interested to hear how the print goes. Just a friendly reminder to lightly sand the inside of the funnel insert to remove the layer lines.
So where is the file for this?
The Printables link is in the Description of the video. It’s titled “My Y Adapter Funnel Insert”
