Only issue I had out of the box with the P1S is some of my spools didn't fit the AMS. I printed a TPU lip that adds some lid height and had to take some filament off of a overfilled spool. Most of the filament profiles are really good, but I had an with ASA having an 80% fan max which cause delamination of the layers. Otherwise it's been fantastic.

Listerine posted:X1C shipping confirmation came in today, so I'm guessing it will arrive sometime next week. I wasn't planning to get it set up right away as I'm overloaded with work, but since I lost one of my printers this week, I'd like to get the X1C rolling as fast as I can so it can pick up the slack; are there any common points in setup that people stumble on and I should look out for? What mattfl said, but also you should expect to need and use wifi and a mobile device for full setup.

well poo poo.. I had my first spool tangle. Was my own fault because I de-spooled the cardboard spool and let it spring a little when I was transferring it. Trying to unspool a little so my 70% print can finish then the rest is hitting the garbage

The Eyes Have It posted:What mattfl said, but also you should expect to need and use wifi and a mobile device for full setup. This may be problematic, because my office is wired but it's not on wifi. I can connect to a guest network, and there's a secured network that I can figure out how to connect to, but I don't have control over the wifi itself. It should be okay if the printer doesn't have to remain connected all the time to function- I can connect for a setup process and then disconnect, would that be sufficient? This also may be beyond anyone's experience, but I'm working at a university and my department purchased the printer. I'm reviewing the quick start guide and there's a step called Printer Binding that requires the Bambu Handy app, I need to download it and log in to a Bambu account and scan a QR code to bind the printer to a Bambu lab account. Since I didn't create an account at purchase, do I need to somehow track down that info from my purchasing department or do you think I can just make my own account on Bambu's website and bind/register the printer to that?

X1C just arrived- shipped Tuesday, so that was pretty fast. I'm a little concerned about this setup with the wifi, I'm not sure if I connect it to the guest wifi if it'll then be discoverable, and the info I found about the locked wifi network says devices need to be encrypted to join. I think worst case scenario, I may need to do the printer registration step somewhere else and then move it to it's permanent home?

Back at it again. Ok I've got a good base layer, but when the model starts printing infill the print nozzle is hitting what it's laying down. Tried manual adjusting z offset while it was running and it was a huge variance, -1.70 to -1.52 just to clear most (not all) of the infill lines. I just don't get why it would show such a solid base layer then gently caress up when doing anything higher.

I’m trying to switch to PrusaSlicer. Is it possible to have it print with some number of bottom/top/outer walls and infill, and then at a certain height switch to continuous extrusion corkscrew mode?

Looking for an FDM printer recommendation. Right now I have an old Monoprice Select Mini v2 and it's fine, but it's slow and loud and has a small print bed (120 mm cubed). I mostly print tabletop gaming terrain and board game organizer boxes. Browsing the recent comments in this thread it seems like Prusa used to be the go-to recommendation but now they're facing good competition from Bambu. How should I go about deciding between the two (or is there a third option I should consider)? I don't really need multi-color printing, but if it's not too much more money for a multi-color model I might get it just to noodle around. It would be located in my office where I work from home, so quiet is a big plus.

Holy poo poo! I had the worst luck trying to print a Hylian Shield from LoZ. It just wouldn't come out! No matter what I did, either the print wouldn't stick or I'd get a head crash. I must have failed more than 10 prints. I had a sneaking suspicion that it was the slight curve to the shield laying almost flat to the bed... so I raised the print in Cura off the bed by 5mm. It worked! Printed on the first try. Never underestimate your slicer's ability to gently caress up an almost flat print.

So I would print a bed level test till (those 1-2 layer circles). Until at least one side of the bed was good. Then depending on which side was lower. I'd turn the steppers off and physically turn the screw for the z to adjust that side a tiny bit and reprint the test and see if it improved. I feel like klipper did a better job with abl than sovols marlin.

Robert Cowan (of battlebots fame) also got his Prusa XL and he's doing some videos about it. First video is 30 minutes of assembly so I'm not watching the whole thing, I don't have an order for it but if folks are interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_zKRm_tIFQ

Listerine posted:Ahhhh, ok. How did you manage to turn that? What they’re referring to is a better way of doing the gantry calibration that it does by default but just slamming the gantry into the top of the frame. You can do a better job by homing, turning off the motors, moving the carriage to one side with the sensor still over the plate, and turning the threaded rod on that side by hand while using your other hand to keep the opposite side rod from turning. Turn it until it’s right on the step where the light on the sensor turns on/off, then move the carriage to the other side and repeat, then repeat the whole thing a couple times. This makes sure the X axis is aligned with the bed better than the default method of slamming it into the top of the frame; it’s more reliable and doesn’t make a horrible noise.

Did my first bit of corrective maintenance on a Bambu P1S today.. The extruder clogged, and also one of the AMS units got a piece of filament stuck inside. Happy to report that the maintenance videos were clear and helpful, and it was absolutely no problem to disassemble all the bits, unclog, and put them back together. (I ended up shortening the length of the PTFE tube on that AMS as well, I think it was a bit too long.)

kid sinister posted:Is there some secret to making sure your prints stick, no matter how tiny the little bits touching the bed are? What kind of print bed and material? I have no problems with a textured PEI sheet with your basic PLAs and PETGs. The K1 ships with a smooth bed, and turns brims on by default, but even that seems unnecessary. And now I have a cool otherwise finished print that I have to sit and refinish with a deburring tool
