Great investment for your business. Your print output is definitely going to go up with the X1C and AMS.
Thanks so much!
Thank you for this! The instructions were not good. You helped me a ton!!
Glad it helped you! Thanks so much!
Cord with a "box" inline - there is a power supply (aka power conversion electronics) in the box - generally it converts AC power from the wall to DC power for the device. For 3D printers it is usually 24V DC.
Congratulations on the new printer!
I've had it for 4 months, but I mainly only use it for ABS/ASA
The prusa may print the other materials.
I'm really looking forward to the speed and quality comparison against the Prusa XL, especially when it comes to the multi-colored area. I think the XL will be able to show its advantages because the extruder change is faster than the Bambu system and less waste he will probably produce it too
You print those materials without a heated chamber?
@k.g1246 thanks! Yes I can't wait for a multi tool head XL to compare. Thanks!
@@memcrew1 I have had my Bambu X1 since Christmas, printed ABS, carbon fiber, PETG, everything works, but have to open the door for PLA. The heatbed will help heat the chamber enough for the filaments, too much for PLA
@@woodwaker1 Ok, I bought the Qidi to print abs with its heated chamber.
@@memcrew1 I've printed ASA, Polycarbonate, and Nylon-Glass Fill on my X1C with no issues. No need for an actively heated chamber. Used glue stick with the nylon, but that's it.
I really enjoyed watchign this video, I see that some people gave it a thumbs down, that's a shame, they are just being mean. 😒
Not everyone likes Bambu but they are a very fun machine. Thanks!
The video was helpful. I'm guessing downvotes were from people following along and making the same mistakes she made as she made them. I was annoyed to the point of almost down voting as well, but I figured I'd just watch and go back after
Many slicers have options for printing items separately. To do that they need to know the size of the print head so they can space things out far enough to avoid a crash.
Yeah I think I remember seeing it was an option in Prusaslicer. Just surprised me that it seemed to be the default. Thanks!
Just got my printer for black friday at Microcenter, I really appreciated following along with your video as I was unpacking and setting mine up as well. I had the same warning about lubricating the rods for maintenance.
Maybe it's just a startup thing. Thanks!
how much did it go on sale for?
Yep. Same error here on initial startup.
The IMS unit I am having trouble activating it through the Handy app. Do I have to go to studio and pick the colors please advise your opinion and help would be appreciated.
Make sure its plugged in correctly, that you have the correct printer selected, and that you have a file that has multiple colors. If you're still having trouble, yes I would recommend checking it out in bambu studio on a computer. Thanks!
This video has confirmed my choice to get one for my self thanks so much for the video
It's so polished and fun to use! Thanks!
thanks for the video. when you compare the printer with the mk4, which one is your favorite. or is it too early to make such a statement?
I need to try out more of my own designs to decide. But so far, the setup and first prints were much easier with the Bambu. I had trouble connecting the wifi on my MK4 and never tried again. I had zero issues with the Bambu wifi using the app and my computer. Idk if it's just because it's new, but I find the Bambu to be more fun.
I am quite new to 3d. Currently I have a neptune 3 pro. I would now like a new printer with multi color. I like the open concept of prusa. But also the bambu looks great. I am so indecisive. I look forward to more videos from you :)@@tada3dprinting
When you print the turtle, you're printing their pre-prepared gcode, but when you slice something in Bambu Studio, it's going to print the normal way.
Ok the default in Bambu studio is to just print all items layer by layer? Thanks!
So many fun 3d printing machines. Your place has turned into a legit manufactuing warehouse plant 😊 I'm really appreciate your videos and this will help me decide which printer to buy. I really like the XL with tool changer best, but it's not going to be inexpensive, and wait times are long for ordering. Maybe I need to get all the printers like you're doing 👍😄
Haha! I am still eagerly waiting for my 5 XL but who knows when it'll be here. I am really liking the Bambu. More than I expected. Thanks!
How did you get the tube out at the 14 min mark?
It's secured with a black collet fastener. If you push the collet down (or to the right in the case) at the same time that you pull on the tube, you can remove easily. I just used a key to push it down. But if you're not pushing the collet down, the tube won't come out. Thanks!
Congratulations on the new printer!🎉
I'm thinking about buying an a1 mini or prusa mk4.
Thank you! Well I don't have the mini yet because they're in pre-order. The MK4 is a great machine. Will this be your first printer?
I got the P1S with AMU. It would be nice to have the bigger screen, but really I don't use it. Not sure what the Lidar does for you. I would like the better camera for sure. I've probably put 15 KG through the P1S in a few weeks and it's a workhorse. The only problems I have is when I let the textured print sheet get too oily which causes adhesion problems. Don't use the "PLA" sheet, just the textured ones. There's a reason Bambu doesn't send the flat ones with the P1S, just a two-sided textured. I still use my QIDI and it's a good printer, but the Bambu definitely rules the roost in my house. XL5? That's like five P1S with AMS. Sexy beast but just too pricey.
Yeah I was wondering what the difference really is between the P1S and the Carbon. Each uses the same AMS right? I keep getting an error code that I'm using the wrong build sheet. Not sure which one I'm supposed to be using. Yeah the XL5 is expensive. But nothing else right now has that size. The Bambu is just fun to print with! Thanks!
Did the manual say nothing about everything you learned or did you have to figure it out on your own?
There is just a quick start guide and a safety guide. But it's actually super easy to use. Thanks!
NICE AS USUAL; impatient to see your comparison between the Carbon X1 and the Prusa XL
Thanks so much!
Great that u have a bambu lab x1 you will see a big different with the Ams … I have prusas mk4 and x1 and both of them make a good team
Good to hear! Thanks
That's weird that it printed those one at a time. That's an option, but default is print by layer. The best way to do the glue imo, is to put some on then spray a lil IPA on it and smear it around with a paper towel. And seriously, all I do to clean it is stick it under my bathroom tap under pure hot water and it just comes right off with one wipe. I'm high on maintenance and I'll clean and lube at least once a month. And Idk if I just got lucky but in 1300 hrs the only problem I've had is it got plugged once. (knock on wood)
And with the warning to clean those rods it probably detected the thick grease friction as it comes new (at least mine did). It will also warn you of any system that might not be running right, basically a trouble shooter. It warned me once that It detected something with my bed wiring harness and it turned out there was one wire hanging and would have got cut, or sheered if it wasn't for the warning. Great machine. But you probably know most of this stuff anyway.😁
Good to hear! Thanks so much!
I ended up getting one of there over a Prusa MK4/XL; be interesting to see how you like it vs your Prusa's.
So far the Bambu feels very new in a good way. Its very easy to use. The screen and app are super nice. But it'll all come down to how the prints compare! Thanks!
were there product's you didnt sell because you were limited by the prusas? (heated chamber) if so do you plan on expanding your product lineup with the x1?
What I need the most right now is something that can print at least 12" square parts easily without warping. I'm fighting with my XL sometimes for this even with PLA.
My second thing I wanted was the multi color that was easy to use. But now that I have the enclosure, I do want to try out other things. Thanks so much!
@@tada3dprinting have you considered the prusa enclosure for one of your mk4s? I recently got one for my mk4. I was hoping it would reduce the noise (downstairs neighbour is very sensitive to noise).....it unfortunately hasn't made a big difference for that, but it works great with ABS
@@TDax if its traveling downstairs its probably a certain frequency of vibrations. try using mushy rubber isolation layer. or a layer of foam under the encloser
@@senurasenaratne5782 that's interesting, I was thinking of going with a paving slab lol. To be fair, it's not very noisy now.....but my neighbour is VERY sensitive to noise. I went with the enclosure because I assumed it would still be too noisy, but I do have a workshop (a sheaf) in the garden.....I can take advantage of the enclosures ability to maintain a good temp.
Enjoy! It really is a great printer.
Thank you!
One concern with these cloud based printers is that they will have a record of (and access to) everything you print through their cloud. Could be a problem for some files to be exposed that way. Something to think about.
Yes I understand. Has anyone actually taken others files? Or is it mainly just the possibility that makes people nervous?
@@tada3dprinting If you have a contractual requirement for a file you bought or are printing for a customer with their file there may be requirements for your use of or your care of the file. For some businesses, running their private files through a foreign server is not allowable. This particular manufacturer has had security issues with their cloud already. It's not just the company itself, but the hackers that inevitably break into their systems that represent a risk.
@@tada3dprinting Grant @3d Musketeers has talked about this, related to doing work for US Government.
You can run the printer in LAN mode and just print directly off the SD card if you don't want to go through their cloud service
Bambu's X1E model more specifically addresses your concern. Extremely valid issue, especially in today's rising threats in cyber.
Interesting... bamboo is alot heftier and looks like alot of plastic is used compared to prusa printers.
Curios about a comparison mk4 vs bamboo.
Also what do you think about the proprietary approach of them compared to prusa being more open source + completely independent of an account system
Yeah it will all come down to how they each print. I didn't like Bambu at first. Mainly because of the rude comments I was getting from Bambu fanboys on my videos. And then I had heard a lot of things like you have to print using the cloud, or it's difficult to get parts because they're all copyrighted.
But I was willing to try them out. And honestly the printer feels very polished. I'm still a Prusa fan girl. But to have a printer within days of ordering, that doesn't require days to put together, and that has the promised firmware when I purchase is pretty impressive.
We'll see how I feel after a while of using it. Thanks!
Did you do your nails during the print? You started with pink and after the print you had red :)
Haha no the light purple are mine. And the red nails are Kaitlyn's, one of the girls that works for me. Thanks!
Congratulations, always recalibrate after firmware update. Makerworld models are free and you can print from you phone or from your slicer. Also spool weights are your friend as the light spools will jam and always lock the lid on the ams so the spools don’t pop up. Love mine and thanks for sharing
Ok good to know. Thanks so much!
Congrats on your new printer .. Time to print the poop bucket 😁
Haha yeah I didn't realize it needed this until I moved it. 🤦♀️
it will be interesting to see how you think it compares to the prusa mk4.
Yeah I wish I had the MK4 and MMU3 combo to compare. Hoping it comes out soon. Because the MK3 just feels so outdated. Mainly the screen. Thanks
@@tada3dprintingthe mk3 screen was out dated when it came out out lol. It did the job tho. I do like the mk4 screen tho.....and I must admit, I am glad it's not just a touchscreen....I hate touchscreens lol
CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Slicing the model/painting is all that you need to "worry" about, and you pretty much are there, the multi color printing is effortless
Awesome! Thanks!
You are covering all of the bases. It will be nice to see how you find this printer does printing your miniatures. You will need to print a "poop shoot" for your multi-color prints.
Haha yeah I didn't realize that until a few prints in. I don't understand why it has that since it prints a purge tower too.
Anyone else just watching the video to see how long it takes for the glass lid to go back on?
Haha that did throw me off. But I did get it put on! Thanks!
you do a great job especially in the area of not blocking the camera you must be a yoga master lol
Haha no just a lot of editing. Thanks!
No offence but a lot of your set up issues would have been avoided if you actually read the set up instructions first. Apart from that great video 😁
Haha true. I try but I get distracted easy.
Wtf is the point of the spool holder except to have a nice protrusion to break on the back when using am mmu
I was thinking the same. Idk it doesn't explain you don't even need it if you have the AMS. And now I have two more without AMS and I hate having the filament on the back. Thanks!
If you print some filaments, TPU for one, they will not work through the AMS and must be used on the outside spool holder. @@tada3dprinting
You dont have to cut the filament t does it for you
Old habits. Thank you!
@@tada3dprinting Same, I could'nt resist either
No gummy bears?? 😵😮 How do they expect to take over the world without gummy bears?
Haha no kidding! You'd think they would have their own version of it!
It's safer for the print if you print each part separately instead of having the tool head move around all the time, that's why this print is like this.
I always print each part separately if it's possible and it's great. You can see the amount of distance needed between each part in the slicer if you go into "others" tab.
Ok so is it a default to print separately, or is it just a setting I can choose? Thanks!
@@tada3dprinting default is the usual, all parts at the same time
Now you’ll never use your prusas again 😂
Haha we'll see
Wambam has a plex plate for this printer and G Code is on printables do not need glue stick
Do I NEED to use glue stick on this build plate or is it just recommended?
always wish to have one, but have not able to afford it yet :((((
Yeah I was just planning on the mini but I'm impatient. Thanks!
You've fallen to the dark side...
I'm kidding, of course, I'm thinking of picking up a P1P to go with my little Prusa collection.
Haha I wasn't interested in them until I started watching the videos about the mini AMS. And honestly this printer feels very polished. I'll see how it compares. Are u interested in multi colors? Thanks!
@@tada3dprinting I'm particularly interested in the speed, but I like the option to easily upgrade to multicolor.
Yeah just quickly looking at the slicers it does seem like the Bambus are faster. But I'll have to print some and compare the quality too. Thanks!
@@tada3dprinting I suppose that means it's time for the Great Printer Race. Bambu X1 vs Prusa MINI vs Prusa MK4 vs Prusa XL (That's probably too much for one table)
Last time I used a glue stick was just before I got my mk3 lol
Same. I am thinking I'll go without and see what happens. Thanks!
@@tada3dprinting Just curious. What is your issue with not wanting to use glue sticks? You seem a bit stubborn about this. I understand that perhaps you've not had to use them before but when the mfg suggests something, it is usually for a reason. They are not in the business to make a profit off of all the glue stick sales in the world so I do think they probably have a reason. What is yours for be adament about this?
Why would you?
The Bambu mini with AMS launched just days after I finished putting together my MMU3. I had been having constant loading errors on the MMU3. Also, I have been waiting on my 5 toolhead XL with no update. I ordered the MMU3 for the MK4 and who knows when that will ship.
I wanted to add another multi color printer but the thought of spending 30 hours upgrading my MK3S and putting the MMU3 together just doesn't appeal to me right now.
The Bambu AMS was in stock and delivered 2 days after ordering. I spent about an hour unboxing and getting it set up and now I'm printing.
Doesn't mean I won't eagerly wait for MMU3 for the MK4 and the 5 toolhead XL. But I want to try something new while I'm waiting. Thanks!
Hmm. 😢 I hope you don’t run into the same issues others have with a Bamboo printer. The waste of the AMS and its slow changing speeds makes it a no go for me. Worse than MMU. XL 5 heads is best for multi color/material. Not to mention the security and privacy issues. Good Luck. 😂
XL 5 was my first choice. And I have a day 1 order that I'm waiting on. I still can't wait to get it. But it was ordered late in the day and idk when I'll get it.
After the time putting together the MMU3, I am a little underwhelmed and not super excited to get another.
I originally was going to get the AMS Mini but I'm impatient so I got the Carbon.
I was wary of having to print through the cloud, partly because of spotty internet. But it's been sooo easy to use. Also having the camera already set up that I can record timelapse and check on prints from anywhere is a huge plus for me. I don't really see a difference security/privacy wise between the camera and cloud of this printer and using wyze, gopro etc cameras. But I do see a huge difference in ease of setting up, not having cords everywhere, having battery and lighting issues etc.
I'm still a Prusa fan girl and I'm not swapping all my printers. I just wanted to try it out. And so far, I really like it. Thanks for your understanding!
@@tada3dprinting if you run a business and are not giving away your stl files for free. You could be with using the cloud. I’m not gonna get into all the ramifications behind using a third-party proprietary cloud application, but let’s just say that the intellectual rights of products designed by others is not seen the same way as they are here in the United States. Not to mention that they’ve had a problem in the past with printers turning on by themselves and printing past queued while not being attended is scary enough They say they fix this issue, but it was cloud related. You should really question anything that is left on and able to start itself plus controls cameras, microphones, and heating elements. This should be a red flag for and IoT device. Also anytime you give a device regardless of what it is, your Network name and password… that device now has it stored in its memory or somewhere within the device. And as to what is done with that information, could it be sent somewhere without your knowledge? easily. All IOT devices should be secured on their own VLAN, guest network and monitored daily for any kind of network chatter that is unnecessary. It would be impossible for every IOT device to be checked thoroughly for security vulnerabilities especially those with close source proprietary hardware. A lot of people may read this and think he’s paranoid or something to that effect. It is true that most companies have good intentions, but at some point you will run into those that don’t. For example you can look up power cables that people use to charge their phones and you’ll find out that many of them have chip sets in the very end of them that are sending scripts to your phone to give them full access to your phone and all its functionality … all from a little tiny script that you didn’t even know was installed. that same thing could be said for chips that are on circuit boards, and this thing has Wi-Fi connection. This applies to all devices. Once again, this is why open source is still the best and safest route to take. Because there are some very intelligent individuals out there going through every little bit of code or chips on any board and finding out who designed them and what their main purposes is. (Takes off tinfoil hat.)
To put that all aside, I have seen some prints that the carbon X1 has printed and most do look very nice. But I’ve also seen more reviewers put videos out that show that the printer is not able to keep up with printing at such a high speed without either artifacts, or the finish of the filament changing to a matte finish. There’s a few more videos popping up showing owners of that printer actually going in and slowing the printer down so the layers adhere correctly and that the finish comes out as intended. Remember to keep an extremely large poop shoot bucket nearby and I would recommend looking into fine-tuning the extrusion rates when changing colors you’ll be able to save a lot more on filament doing so.
Good luck. Can’t wait to see what you think about that printer. Get ear plugs… LoL. 😂
No it is very important to protect your home, business etc. I do understand and you make good points. Thank you
YOU DONT NEED TO USE GLUE STOP LISTENING TO ALL THE SHEEP WHO DONT KNOW ANYTHING BUT THINGS PEOPLE TELL THEM
And no damage?
Are you thinking that Bambu is telling people to use Glue Sticks cuz they make a profit off of all the glue sticks that are sold in the world, or perhaps do their engineers (who have done an amazing job at designing such a fast, accurate printer) perhaps know something about the design of their plates, and the composition of their filaments that they've learned something and perhaps are motivated by their user's success. When you go against a mfg's instructions and things do not work well, rarely will you associate your doing things 'your way' with the problem. People like to blame others as the person always 'know what they are doing'.
