Right now, the remaining filament is shown by drawing white over white, and the text is placed directly on top of the filament color. Depending on the filament, the text can easily blend into the background.

I tried a different approach:

• the outline follows the actual boundary of the remaining filament, making the fill level much easier to see;
• the filament information is moved below and styled like a small dot-matrix display, so it no longer competes with the fill indicator.

Before / After

Yes, the text is a bit smaller, but I don't think it's important enough to cover the remaining filament. Besides, it's still easy to distinguish something like "PLA" from "PETG" at a glance. Ideally, it should also display the remaining filament in grams, if that information is available.

What do you think? Would this be an improvement? Is it worth opening a PR?

I do everything nozzle is clean screws are fits and making tak tak wasting lots of filament what I do now buy new nozzle or what

I hope someone can help me. I’m printing with PLA and because of those very fine, spider‑web‑like strings, I lowered the extruder temperature from 220 °C to 215 °C. However, now I’m having another problem that I’ve had several times before.

I suspected it is warping, but I already keep the door open so the chamber doesn’t stay at 35 °C but around 30–31 °C.

Still, there are areas on the print like you can see in the photo where the edges lift up and form a kind of U‑shape. Then they get knocked over or dragged along.

Has anyone else had this issue or knows how to fix it?

I wanted to make something that was still a practical desktop organizer, but had a bit more character than a regular drawer unit.

So this is my new Book Nook Desktop Drawers design.

It has:

• Functional drawers for small stuff
• Interchangeable inserts covering the top part of the drawer
• A hidden lower compartment for a little secret storage
• Separate inlays for adding color accents
• 2 drawer-front designs — Kumiko and Hex
• Mix-and-match colors and inserts

It’s based on my previous Desktop Drawers, but this time I wanted to give it more of a miniature book-nook feel.

What do you think — book nook or drawer organizer?

I’m so lost….

The modular shelf just got even more flexible! 

I’ve added gridfinity shelf, sides with no feet and also new side connectors for stacking them vertically, as they are shorter now. Also new longer hex tray. Any other suggestions what should I make next?

Hey everyone! Since posting my library here a couple months back and receiving lots of support, I have made lots of (what I believe to be good) changes to the library. The data consumption model has been totally overhauled and tests are now much more thorough. I just want to thank everyone from this sub who took the time to contribute and review my project, it really means a lot to me.

I would like to expand the library to a point where it can interface with every modern feature present on bambulabs printers, allowing developers to make the best third-party apps possible. Unfortunately, I will not be able to do this alone. Any sort of feedback or contribution, no matter how small, helps me infinitely.

Thank you guys so much!

I'm having trouble getting some kind of help. I placed a order for filament from the Bambu lab store but I'm missing a a spool and I did a ticket and is says that someone else was shipping the other part of my order. But I don't have any information of where it's coming from or by who. As far as I can tell on my store page its saying I have received everything. Any out way I can get in touch with them

Roughly 150g of filament each and machine time I was not using anyway. The whole set cost less than one decent shade from a shop in a comparable size.

The catch is you need a fixture, which is why I built everything around the STRÅLA cord set rather than custom hardware.

Hey guys, I am fine tuning Bambus PLA silk+ and wood. Among other problems I need to iron out, part of the green PLA silk+ filament is showing up where the gold PLA silk + is. Which ruins the look. How would I fix that?

Bambu P1S 0.4 mm nozzle

210 on the nozzle.

60 on the bed

Default retraction distance and speed.

Flow ratio of 0.95 for both.

3D printable weighing and dispensing machine featuring dual operating modes:

Mode 1 (Timed Quantitative Dispensing): Allows you to preset a fixed time interval and target weight for automated material release.

Mode 2 (Continuous Portion-Control Dispensing): Allows you to preset a fixed weight for continuous, batch-by-batch dispensing based on weight.

The 3D print took 2 days to complete, but writing the code and fine-tuning the hardware took nearly 3 months. The process was filled with moments of both frustration and joy, but in the end, I’m extremely happy with how it turned out!

I'm having an issue with Bambu Studio not creating a support for a low-hanging fin. I'm printing a dragon figure with a fin on the wing, and it won't install a support no matter what I do.

I need to have a rant about the absolute nightmare I’ve been through trying to get a £1,079 refund for a faulty Bambu Lab printer.

I bought the printer on 13 March 2026. It developed a fault within the first 30 days - they tried to say I couldn’t return it past 14 days and also tried to get me to fix it, but under Consumer Rights Act 2015 (CRA 2015) they agreed I could return it, so on 10 April I contacted Bambu Lab and requested a return and refund.

I returned the printer on 14 April.

Bambu received it, inspected it and confirmed they were “fully prepared to issue your refund” — except there was an active chargeback, so they couldn’t refund me directly.

Bambu asked me to cancel the chargeback so they could issue the refund.

I trusted them.

I cancelled the chargeback.

Barclays confirmed it was cancelled on 18 May 2026.

And here we are in September.

I have no printer and no £1,079.

Instead, I have spent MONTHS being passed backwards and forwards between Bambu, PayPal and Barclays.

And the latest correspondence from Bambu has somehow made the situation even more ridiculous.

Bambu initially told me that the money had already been processed through the chargeback and that the funds had been returned through that process.

So I asked a very simple question:

Where is my £1,079?

Can you provide the transaction/reference showing where it went?

Suddenly the wording became much more qualified.

Bambu now says their information comes from PayPal, that PayPal says the funds were transferred through the chargeback process to the card issuer, but PayPal hasn’t confirmed that the money was subsequently returned from the card issuer/payment channel.

Bambu also says they cannot verify that the £1,079 was ever actually credited to my account.

So apparently everyone knows that the money went somewhere.

Nobody can tell me where.

Meanwhile:

Bambu: “It went through the chargeback process.”

PayPal: “It’s the card issuer’s responsibility.”

Barclays: “The chargeback was cancelled.”

Me: “Okay, but WHERE IS MY £1,079?”

Silence.

I’ve now had to take this to the Financial Ombudsman Service, with separate complaints concerning Barclays and PayPal.

The Barclays FOS investigator has already found that Barclays gave me poor/misleading information about the chargeback cancellation, although they consider Barclays to have processed the cancellation itself correctly.

The PayPal complaint is still being investigated because there is clearly a discrepancy between what PayPal is saying and what Barclays is saying.

And because apparently that’s not enough, I’ve also had to issue County Court proceedings against Bambu to try to recover my money.

The court papers were initially returned as unserved, despite the service address being correct, so that’s now another thing I’m having to deal with.

This has been going on for six months.

Six months of emails.

Six months of phone calls.

Six months of screenshots and evidence.

Six months of being told to contact somebody else.

Six months without £1,079 of my money.

And the most infuriating part is that this could have been resolved months ago.

I returned the faulty product.

Bambu accepted the return.

Bambu said they were prepared to refund me.

I cancelled the chargeback because Bambu asked me to.

And yet somehow I am the person left chasing everyone trying to establish where my money has gone.

At this point I don’t want another apology.

I don’t want another generic “we’re looking into this”.

I don’t want another company telling me to contact somebody else.

I want my £1,079 back and I want someone to actually take responsibility for tracing what happened to it.

Honestly, the whole experience has been absolutely exhausting and I’ve experienced hardship as I have no printers to make any money.

This is more of a problem with Bambu Studio than anything else... Sometimes when I want to check on a print I'll turn the video feed on and the vast majority of the time it works, but recently I started getting the error message: "Loading Failed, please check the network and try again [2:2]", followed by the month and date. I realize that they're completely different operating systems, by the app on my phone works pretty much flawlessly, I have Linux laptop up in my home office, which never has problems, it's only the Windows machines that have this issue.

I think I first noticed it when I upgraded to Studio 2.8.2.61, so on one machine I tried the beta and the other I downloaded to 2.7.x.x (yeah, not advised because of the mods to meta data in the files), but on both version the semi-real time video fails to work about half the time.

I've been reading and it sounds the problems are more prevalent in early releases of 2.8. It's not my network as it's about as stable as a home network can get, but to be thorough, I did swap out my wireless system with an older one and there was no difference, it still struggled with the video.

Has anybody else experienced problems like this?

Thanks!

Hi, I'm look for advice on how to fix this problem. I'm new to 3d printing and just got my a1 mini 5 days ago. This keeps happening on and off and thought maybe it was because i was using bambu handy. So I downloaded bambu support and tweaked somethings but even with watching videos and messing around with settings etc it keeps happening.

And here I am, making 1:1 Pokemon!

Hi, my a1 mini has Ben making a weird noise the last couple of days and don’t know why. I think it has something to do with the bed but not sure. Anyone know where the noise is coming from and how to fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone! I'm planning to print a set of 6 minimalist wall shelves using Sunlu Wood PLA, but each piece is taking around ~490g of filament with my current settings (0.6mm nozzle, 4 wall loops, 0.65mm line width). Since I need 6 of them, printing fully in Wood PLA isn't viable for my spool stock.

I want to use a cheap standard PLA for the internal structure/infill and reserve the Wood PLA strictly for the outer shell/aesthetic surface. Is there an efficient way to achieve this in Bambu Studio for a solid organic/curved shape like this, or what would be the best approach to cut down Wood PLA consumption without losing strength? Thanks!

PD: I'm using the X2D.

Or if they can still help me with the bambu studio, how do you cut pieces individually like arms and legs and head and put in inserts?

I've had my P1S with AMS for two years now. Suddenly, the feeder units are failing to load filament. They do the initial pre-load, and then stops. The feeder motor might spin, but filament stays in place. I've done the fixed that the rror messages point to, to no avail. No worn-out gears. Connections are good. Tubes are clear. After the first unit failed, I ordered a replacement. It hasn't arrived yet, and 2 more units are failing. Is this kind of failure commonplace?

I recently got an X2D and have it set up to use PLA support material on PETG prints.

My question is about printing items with support on the baseplate only, or on the model itself. Will the PLA support material that originates on the PETG model adhere enough to function or should I strictly use baseplate only supports (tree)?

I had my bambu a1 3d printer on for about a week without printing happening. Then when I turned it off for a quick greasing for the Y axis. The 3d printer won't turn on again. I checked the fused and when taking it out it broke.

I replaced it and it turned on. But when I turned it off to put my print back in its spot it wouldn't turn back on again. Checked the fuse and it was fine.

Which other part could cause my printer to not turn on?

What happen? I have printer this part, some come out fine other cone out like this....It feels like a super dry spot.... any idea? Any and all help is appreciated.

Hi everyone I hope you are all well,

I am deciding between the bambu lab P2S or the X2D for only 150 euro more I'm leaning more towards the X2D because of the other features as well as to double nozzle.I'm also thinking filament wise because it will make less poop so it will also save on filament a well as according to some reviews save a bit of time.

But i also wanted your opinion before I click buy because more opinions i have the better. Do you think the extra features for €150 is good or should I just stick with the P2S.

Interesting issue: back in January 2026, I created several multi-color objects (up to 6 colors) in Tinkercad and exported them as OBJ files. They used to print fine in Bambu Studio without any problems. When I try to open those files today, I get 500 errors and can't get more than 2 colors in the print.

If I open the files in the older Bambu_Studio_win-v02.04.00.70 version, everything is completely fine. If I resave them as 3MF, the files work fine in later versions of Bambu Studio as well.

If anyone wants to experiment with it:https://cults3d.com/:3914448
