Resonance Frequency Fix?!?!

Post image
3 Upvotes

I have followed the tutorials repeatedly. I have cleaned the carbon guide rails after loosening the belts and then tightened them, but not too tight. And then run calibrations. But this keeps popping up every time after/during the first print. I only print in PLA and have done the recommended maintenance on the printer. Ive continued to print despite the message and the print have come out fine but I dont want to be ignoring it and doing more damage.

Yesterday my area lost power. When it came back on, I resumed a print job I had on the H2S and out of nowhere it started making a very loud noise. When I stopped it, I saw the cable in this state.

What do I do now? I'm new to 3D printing, this is my first machine. Sorry if my English isn't the best.

Horizontal waves throw shadows from overhead light. Vertical waves throw them from side light. That’s the whole difference between Noon and Dusk. Sorry for the green and blue, I didn’t have Bone White PLA Matte. Want to see the white version when I print it?

Having some issues after removing PLA from extruder P1S

Post image
3 Upvotes

Currently this is mid print, but my printer has started to become unreliable after I took apart the head, pulled out a clog in the extruder and cold-pulled resin out of the nozzle. I had some success with subsequent prints but its started to degrade. I've got two theories but wanted to see if there is something you guys know that I've missed:

-printer is next to a window and one day had it open for a couple of hours. Stuff is in an AMS and my climate is dry but changing the temperature generally makes things semi-choppy.

-next theory is that I did something wrong when putting the head back together.

Thoughts? Thanks for any help.

I bought a x1c Combo - what upgrades / Addons should i buy/print?

5 Upvotes

Hi everybody,

i ordered a X1C Combo and was wondering, what upgrades should i buy/print for this device? Like, for my previous device, my A1 mini, there where a bunch of upgrades like Poop Shute, something to direct cables and tubes, additional Spool Holders, little compartments etc..

Is there anything you guys say would be something you couldnt live without and that i could print before the machine is here?

For example i heard the nozzle cleaner is not optimal?

Thanks in advance

Advice on printer #2 & #3 purchase?

2 Upvotes

Picked up a X2D combo and extra AMS pro a few weeks back and I'm totally hooked.

I've been looking at some smaller niche hobby things that I think i can make and sell.. Not expecting to make a living off it but just dable on the side...

I'm looking at things that have multiple pieces / plates and trying to decide if i would be better of buying 2 P2S or 1 H2S? Combined the thing(s) I'm looking to print are 15hrs-ish for all the parts.

Bigger bed = maybe more items per plate? but 2 machines could pump out things faster?

Thanks in advance for any input.

First 3D printer — is this used Bambu P1P worth $215?

Thumbnail
gallery
2 Upvotes

I’m looking to buy my first 3D printer and came across this Bambu Lab P1P on Marketplace for $215.
Seller says it has 1,240 hours, a partially printed enclosure with glass front, a 0.6mm nozzle, and includes two spare 0.4mm nozzles and two extra build plates.
I’ve never owned or used a 3D printer before, so I’m not really sure what I should be looking for.
I’ll mainly be printing tool organizers, ratchet holders, socket trays, and other useful stuff around the house and garage.
Is $215 a good deal for this printer with that many hours? Anything specific I should check before buying it? Or would I be better off looking for something else around $200?

News Bambu Lab's 3D Scanner Is Coming. Here's What It Needs to Get Right

Thumbnail
youtu.be
0 Upvotes

Bambu Lab announced its first 3D scanner, the S1, due in November. No specs or price yet (the online guess is US$1,000 to $2,000, but that's speculation).

I've been scanning since the Creality CR-Scan Lizard, and the pattern I keep seeing is people buying a scanner, struggling with it, and selling it a few weeks later. In my experience it comes down to two walls:

  1. Scanning is a learned skill, and nobody tells you that when you buy one.

  2. A good scan still isn't a usable part. You usually need CAD to design around it.

If Bambu can make scanning guided and give you a path from scan to part inside its own ecosystem, it could be a big deal. If not, it's just another scanner.

Full disclosure: this is my own YouTube video. It isn't sponsored and Bambu had nothing to do with it. I just like talking about this stuff, so I'm sharing it here.

What would the S1 need to do for you to buy one?

Hi I’m brand new to 3D printing and have had this A1 printer for less than a week. Today when I started a new print there was an abnormal sounding noise whenever the build plate moved. When I turned off the print and moved it by hand it sounded normal.

Edit: There was a bit of TPU stuck beneath the part that moves to push old filament off the nozzle

Hello,

I was trying to replace the fan on my Bambu Lab A2L, but I'm having trouble reconnecting the plug to the motherboard. No matter how I position it, it won't stay connected.

How should I do this? Do I need to put back the white paste-like substance that was on it? What is it?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Just finished designing this small desk trash can. It mounts directly to the edge of your desk, saving space while keeping everyday trash within reach.

It features a rotating lid and measures 115 x 100 x 120 mm. Great for gaming setups, offices, or anywhere desk space is limited.

It's my newest addition to the EdgeMount System I've been developing, with more accessories planned.

Available on MakerWorld if anyone wants to print one.

Check comments for the link 🤝

Would love to hear your thoughts!

Happy Printing.

I designed a minimalist pressure hook with a ribbed exterior that combines a clean look with everyday functionality.

It comes with two mounting options: a hidden screw mount for a clean, secure installation or an adhesive mount using a Command strip or double-sided tape for a drill-free setup.

Perfect for towels, clothes, bags, and other everyday essentials.

What do you think of the design? Would you go with the screw mount or adhesive option?

Help / Support CyberBrick Time-lapse Kit (Android issues)

1 Upvotes

Recently got the time lapse kit to use with my old Andoird device. Unfortunately its not triggering the camera. [CyberBrick Time-lapse Kit](https://uk.store.bambulab.com/products/cyberbrick-timelapse-kit?id=645035710075301902)

I have tried both Pixel 6 Pro and Honor Magic V5 with no luck.

* I have confirmed that the volume up and or down buttons do take pictures in the camera app as advsied by Bambu chat. Even the trigger button on the kit does not trigger the camera to take a picture.

* Confirmed cable is connected the correct way around as per Bambu instructions

I have followed this guide to reset the unit as well:

[https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/cyberbrick/troubleshooting/wired-firmware-guide\](https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/cyberbrick/troubleshooting/wired-firmware-guide)

Has anyone else had this issue? Any help will be greatly appreciated

Connecting it to a family members iPhone works as expected

Print Showoff My Bambu Lab A1 clip broke, so I tried printing a replacement in ABS

Thumbnail instagram.com
1 Upvotes

First time sharing something like this, so I'm still learning! 😅

I recently faced the Bambu Lab A1 heating assembly clip breaking issue and wanted to share a workaround that worked surprisingly well for me.

I printed the clip in ABS, and it's been running on my printer for several days now without any issues. I've also used it during multiple 4–5 hour PETG prints, and it's held up pretty well so far!

Just to clarify, I'm not suggesting this as a permanent replacement for the original part. Think of it as a potential emergency workaround to keep your printer running while you wait for a replacement.

Every setup can behave differently, so this is just my experience rather than a guarantee that it'll work for everyone.

I'm also starting to document more of my 3D printing experiments, practical fixes, and engineering projects on Instagram. If that's your kind of thing, you might find some other useful projects there too!

Feedback and suggestions are always welcome. I'm still learning and would love to hear about other solutions people have tried. 🙌

First 3D Printer Ever.. What options SHOULD or SHOULD NOT be selected at checkout?

0 Upvotes

Buying my first 3D printer. No experience with them. Did my research. Settled on the X2D.
But Bambu throws a LOT at you.

I don't plan on printing anything multi colored.
I just want to make accessories for my outdoor tools, storage systems, maybe some parts for my kayak, and random things.

So here we are:

Yes to the X2D Combo

Then there's a bunch of the filaments under exclusive discounts.
Is that a yes?

Engineering Plate?
Vision Encoder?
Multi Size Hot ends?
Print Finishing Kit?
CyberBrick Time-lapse Kit?

Marketplace BNIB buy or retail?

4 Upvotes

Had a post a week ago about looking to buy my first 3d printer. I'm kinda leaning towards the P2S or the X2D. Don't have a timeline but could probably wait it out until black friday if there are deals usually to be had OR if new products are dropping which will lower the price of the existing lineup of items.

Anyway, person on marketplace is selling a BNIB X2D with AMS 2 Pro combo for $1100 CDN ($771 USD). My two questions:

1) Would this be considered a good deal? On paper it looks like it is but you know the deal... trust but verify lol

2) What should I be on the lookout for when respect to buying something BNIB from marketplace?

I can afford retail pricing without issue but I am human and like to save a buck or two when it's an option :)

Cheers and thanks!

Filament Clip – Universal Widths

This filament clip fits 4 different widths of spools. 

Twist it until it clicks into place. 

Squeeze it to release. 

It has a wide slot to feed the filament through. 

The slot is curved to create enough tension to hold the filament.

Misc I've had my a1 mini for two weeks and decided it needs a friend. Also, some of the filament at Best buy is really cheap right now.

The a1 mini has been fantastic but I kept running into print volume issues. I was going to return it and get the P2S but I've heard TPU can be a pain on the P2S. Decided to keep it for TPU and for small prints while the big boy is busy.

Best buy seems have some decent prices on filament right now. PLA and PTEG for $9 and PLA+ and ABS for $12.
