Took me 1600 hours on my bambu before I had a Boden blowout on my AMS

I was not expecting a reference to a goofy movie in print fix Friday

My issue for the MK3 update is the price. For only a screen and card, it’s expensive

I half expect my X1C to start smoking when I click Ludicrous Mode!

A Maintenance video on the Bambu’s would be great, I try to keep up with the maintenance, I keep the AMS on the side instead of on the top glass of my X1C to make nozzle changes and maintenance easier but maybe I am missing some maintenance items. My first set of PTFE tubes in my AMS lasted just over 3000 hours but I print a lot of single color prints. Only the tube coming out the back of the AMS was close to failure but I replaced all PTFE tubing in AMS and printer.

11:36 - I'd definitely appreciate a preventative maintenance video for the XL. Most of my printers are still running fine after years of use, but it's not because I've been a responsible 3D printer operator.

Yes please do a PM for Bambu. Thank you.

11:45 Yes, I want to see that. Also how to change the PTFE tubes for a better ones that can last longer.

RUFFLES HAVE RIDGES TO SCOOP MORE DIP!

I so want to see that PM on a Bambu with AMS

Fingers? 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 yep got em all! There is a gnarly burn on my thumb though - it's not from fireworks, I was carving foam with a hot knife and got dripped on

On the subject of Renkforce. I have only ever seen these printers in the Conrad store. It is probably an in-house brand from Conrad. Conrad is something like the European version of Microcenter. Most of their business is through online sales. They only have a few stores left.

For that ender 3 I would at least consider just replacing the main board (and maybe psu) so you can at least salvage the motors, bed and hot end

My fail was epic....I discovered the Senko model diorama I've been working on was missing her lower legs. Because I'm using 3d gloop, this means I have to reprint her all over again. I decided to check and see if her umbrella stick (which wasn't the whole thing) was part of her hand or not. It wasn't so I went into blender and replaced it with the full size one. That meant unfortunately I had to repaint it (would be a nice feature for prusa slicer to re-apply existing paint to new versions). That's printing now. I have her legs (upper and lower this time), skirt, torso, and the left arm completed. I believe I can recycle the tail. I had no trouble pulling that off the old one. I was really looking forward to moving on to my next project. lol The good news is that I've saved everything I've done with this model. That means it's getting done in a fraction of the time. I ran out of nude (beige esun pla+) last night. But I saw it was getting low so I ordered more and already had it on hand. So I only lost a few hours since I stayed in bed longer this morning. I believe it ran out around the time I would have normally gotten ready for work. But I stayed in bed until 10. I also had my 3rd legit MMU3 fail about 20-30 minutes ago. I got a really bad tip for whatever reason and It required me to cut it off since it wouldn't load. I have the cutter on so I have no idea why it didn't try that. But considering I'm at like 15k tool changes, that's not bad.

I have 2 junk drawers but no rubber bands. lol

Yes ! Bambu PM video !

They released the Machine Spirit back to the Warp. I expect a new machine to come forth, in a few thousand years. And I saw that Powerline insert, funny.

Hah I immediately recognized Renkforce, that's the store brand for that random website you shown called Conrad, a pretty good online retailer popular in Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium. Renkforce is usually the cheapest option if you're searching for something on Conrad. I'm pretty sure behind the front faceplate there is ender 3 style cage around the heatsink with a fan. But yeah, this type of printer is from 2016-17, but it's pretty interesting: H-bot printer with direct drive extruder but only has a printing volume of 100mm³ and probably never worked correctly. I think there's a model on thingyverse to give it some parts cooling but that user is probably better off salvaging all components and deleting the printer.

nah just replace that printer with an ender 3 ke. It will work better than an antique with no cooling.

A pdm on the Bambu X1C would be good.

Another fun print fix friday. For the Renkforce, I personally would rebuild it to help keep it out of the landfill. I also find great joy in rebuilding printers, I have saved a few ultimaker 2+'s (and several other printers) from being tossed, I just rebuilt them with Klipper and now they have a new life that will last a long time and depending on what you do to it, it doesnt take too much effort to get it up and running again, usually just a new main board, rasp pi and some type of ABL and its good to go. I was able to give away my second ultimaker to my brother in law to get him into 3d printing and I feel confident that it will last him a long time with the over haul that I did, and yes it has been converted to 1.75mm filament from the 2.85-3mm so it is more usable.

Yes I would like to see video on that

@3D Musketeers Hey Grant, as far as layer shifting goes, that was the problem that I originally contacted you about. I found that my problem was the fan for my MB had stopped working. You my need to maybe mention that as a possible solution, also. (And yes the stepper motors on my Ender 3 Pros do not have grub screws - they are pressed on, lol)

Sometimes you just need a trash can

Hell i had the screen cable on my ender3, it was the og cable by the way shorted and fried a brand new SKR 1.4 turbo. Well at least the USB port functions

First 1!!1!!1!1 😂

I’ve noticed that nearly all the Bambu Lab Facebook pages are really toxic. Both towards newbies and veteran. They say they are all for free speech but the minute you mention something bad about Bambu they gang up on the user. But also mention that another. Rand of printer is working better than Bambu and again they gang up on you. Someone mentioned they bought the new kobra 3 combo and just said it was going faster than their Bambu and they hijacked the post and slated the kobra to the point the admins locked the post. Another post a user said they bought a 3rd party extension cable for the a1 and they were called every name under the sun. Another user said he will be keeping his ender 3 for some job and the members on the Bambu Facebook said forget the ender is cr@p he responded with if it wasn’t for Creality and then ender 3 we wouldn’t have the printers and technology we have now. Once again the Bambu fanboys basically belittled him and made this newbie feel like he made mistake buying his a1.

great topic, thanks 👍

Orca orca orca.... please

5:46 Have you seen the latest version of SuperSlicer? They have been working on good stuff too.

one thing I noticed is that going into preview mode matches 3d mode perfectly. That wasn't the case before. There was a slight difference. It makes debugging color painting easier.

virtual build plates is what I want the most.

Other slicers: orca orca orca!!

Yea, I need one loop perimeter badly. superslicer has that and one more feature where infill stops when touched perimeter so I don't get that annoying half finished wall and wasted material.

is the prefer clockwise should only be used for revo nozzles ? or all types of nozzles could benefit from this ?

If you have several computers with Prusa slices, it could be great now that Prusa Connect is integrated into it, so that it could also sync one's profiles across one's PC. Then you could draw a gizmo on your workplace, slice it with the profiles that are otherwise only on a PC.

Sneakernet has never failed me lol

woo prusaslicer, glad to see them doing a solid update. My biggest hope is that it doesnt just turn into Orcaslicer, I personally do not like Orca at all. The multi build plate would be an awesome addition.

For Prusa slicer, I would like to be able to use multiple nozzle sizes in the same print using a Prusa xl 5 head. Say for example you want a big print with small text you could use a .6 nozzle and a .25 nozzle. I am sure this is a feature they will get to eventually, but I expect it will not be easy to implement.

Wait, this isn't a Print and Fix Friday? It's my last day of work for the week.

more Prusa slicer material. You do a great job of explaining. Great vid.

I wonder why you don't talked about the physical printer tab. now you can see octoprint inside ps, much like prusa connect

Love most of the changes but absolutely hate the top bar change. Why?? It now just wastes a bunch of space for no reason and requires more clicks. Also don't like the browser for PrusaConnect/Link. The AppImage now has an external dependency to WebKit. They could just add a link to open PrusaConnect/Link in your normal browser.

“One perimeter” This is the way!

I'm waiting for a built-in calibration function in 3.0 :)

The new UI really waste screen space in the vertical direction. E.g. the logo top Left are again more dead space... 😢

I will open a bottle of good(ish) sparkling wine when PrusaSlicer gets flow/extrusion multiplier for every part (supports, infill, solid infill, perimeters etc) like there is for bridges....

How did bambu come on the scene and just shit on every slicer out there. Why are these slicers soo out of date compared to theirs ?

Thanks for showing all of the new features. I have been using it for about a week and except for the menu I hadn't seen any differences

The one thing I like about the Connect integration is that I don't have to set up physical printers with an API code anymore... PS detects compatible printers in Connect and allows you to select those.
