Step 1: load Bambu perfectly rolled roll into AMS unit.
Step 2: watch as you press print button.
Step 3: watch as it tangles your filament up.
Step 4: error, filament tangled 👉👈🥺

What causes it to behave this way? The documentation provides little to say why this would be occurring.

Solved (mostly): it needs to be planted firmly on the rear bearing, not only touching.

Thanks peeps! I have another problem coming tomorrow with a normal sized spool and the 4->1 PTFE adapter converter not properly going through via AMS-HT.

I usually make my coasters out of oak, but last night I came up with this optical design idea, so printed it (my neighbors wouldn't have liked it if I turned on the CNC in the middle of the night 😂 )

Rate or hate my first 3D printed coaster! 😂

Sometimes I'm working on several projects, so I need to open several Bambu Studio instances just to have 2 projects open at the same time.. is that something doable in the current software? It would make it much easier for me and not having to scramble between different windows..

Especially compared to PLA poop

Are you a male that was born between 1980 and 1989? There is a little known law that one of your top 3 favorite movies must be Top Gun.

I present to you the Maverick fighter pilot helmet. Its not movie accurate (the designs on the side would take forever), but its close enough to pass as a costume or cosplay helmet.

Where do I even get started...?

A couple weeks back I made a borg sphere fidget, and I had a friend suggest I make one like this as well.

Everything prints except a 20mm rubber band. Best printed at 0.12 layer height, and a little grease makes it go fast.

I just got myself a new A1 since I wanted to last-minute print out some stormtrooper armor for a Halloween event I plan to attend. I also heard they are notorious for catching fire or overheating. What can I do to keep myself safe if I want to print overnight or while I’m at work?

Modeled this up for a wreathe my gf is making.. everything looked good after slicing, but after I sent it to the printer, the text disappeared .. or at least it’s not showing it..

Yes, I have "Just Googled It" and the result was this instructional video. Which makes things fairly simple.

However, a couple questions though:

1) Do I leave the printer off, or do I do this with the machine on?
2) Is there a menu selection I need to find to tell the machine that I am lubricating it? I don't want to force move the head of the printer and snap something, or whatever. Is there a way to - well, for the lack of a better way to phrase this - to disengage the print head to allow it free movement?

Thank you very much.

I'm getting an AMS either way, mainly so I have the option to print in color if I ever want to, even if it takes forever and wastes a bunch of filament. I'm just trying to figure out if a multi nozzle setup would be worth it on top of that.

If most multi color models are printed in one go, it probably is. If most are printed as separate parts and glued together after, the AMS is more than enough.

I've been browsing MakerWorld and I see a lot of models with both AMS and non-AMS versions, so I'm not sure what the norm is. From what you guys see which one is more common?

what I attached is an exaggerated example to showcase how utterly useless the function is being, yes i tried making it smaller only on the parts i wanted, i tried activating "support only critical area", i even changed the support treshold angle to both 1 and a 99, absolutely nothing changed, arachne still doesnt recognize any differences too, im at an utter loss of words, someone pls help

Wanted a minimalist way to display my CDs, so I designed this super quick print.

• Print time: < 30 mins
• Filament: < 10g
• Mounting: 2 nails or screws

What do you think?

I have designed another set of Poke Ghosts for the Makerworld Halloween contest.
You don't need a AMS or Glue, just print them, stick the addon/tail to the ghost and put a LED tea light under the ghost. Happy Printing :)

You can find the new set here: Poke Ghost Vol.2
Or the first set here: Poke Ghosts

No AI was used for the models; I sculpted them all by hand using Meshmixer.

Currently on my 2 prototype and needs a few adjustments to piece to finish it.

I'm doing my best to print large format tpu, mostly a full body armour suit but having a nightmare with other designs.

I've designed this to incorporate a ptfe tube with plenty of slack to stop the roll from unwinding its self when the printer head accelerates.

I've printed of 3 other design so far with and without bears but all of them cause the spool to unwinding and gets caught up either on the roller, the spool or it 1 case the printer head its self, or there isnt enough slack on the filament which cause it to be pulled out of the feeder or jam up.

Either way I hope my bad cad skills can fix my issue.

Also went for an old industrial beam design and seems to be pretty strong overall.

Anyway if you read this far thanks !

Hey everyone!

I wanted to share my latest design that I just submitted for the MakerWorld Incense Design Contest. It’s a Yin Yang Zen Garden & Cone Incense Holder.

I noticed a lot of incense holders leave a mess of ash on the desk, so I designed a two-part modular system. It features an outer tray and an inner insert with fluid Yin Yang grooves. The cone incense holder is completely removable and is designed to act as an ash catcher to keep things clean.

If you use fine incense sand in the tray, you also have the option to skip the plastic holder entirely and place the cone directly on the sand for a more traditional, minimal look.

Multiple Sizes: I exported profiles ranging from 125mm up to 250mm in diameter. The 125mm to 175mm versions fit perfectly on the A1 mini build plate!

I’d love to hear your thoughts or feedback on the design. What filament colors would you use for this?

Happy printing! 🍃

Should I wait for Black Friday? If it is like last year, some forums speculate it will be from 18th to 25th October, and I was wondering when the best time to buy it will be. I also have like 8k points to exchange for vouchers and gift cards. My concern is that it will be out of stock when I buy it. Either the gift card will be out of stock or the printer or filaments will be out of stock, or maybe both. I am planning to use the 8k points to exchange them for 1 discount voucher of 400 EUR and one gift card of 200 EUR. I have considered most of the options and found that buying it as a whole like this saves the most and is the most convenient. I am hoping to get like 20 EUR more off in the A2L combo (AMS Lite + cutter kit) and get about 20 EUR more off since the shipping price (only for the machine, not the filaments, I have tried putting them in the cart and checked) is 23 EUR so it would be nice to shave that off as well. But if the risk of running out of stock, or due to Black Friday logistics having more cargo to ship around, is high, there is a possibility of getting a damaged package (I also buy Worry-Free Delivery, but it might waste time or even be worse). So what do you think? How should I approach this? Buy now or wait to get 20 EUR ( about 22,47 us dollar) off? For context, one of my meals that is good, full, and with dessert is around like 2.5 to 3 EUR, so saving 20 EUR is like saving for 6 to 7 more meals - not that I am in a financial crisis or anything, but that is like a whole 3 - 4 days of food worth considering, you know (pic of a meal for further context at the end)

Hey, I’ve run into an issue. I was cleaning my printer after a "blob" (plastic buildup) that went really deep—it even got onto the cables. I managed to remove most of it without damaging the wiring, except for one cable, which appears to be connected to the nozzle temperature sensor. Does anyone know how I could fix this myself without damaging the rest of the printer?
