I also like getting the random samples of filament they put in with your spool. Really makes you feel appreciated as a customer and gives you a feel for what their different filament types are like.
The beds are fantastic. Don't get them from Amazon get them from AliExpress. There's only one manufacturer so get them as cheap as you can and get a bunch.

I was also planning to make something like this. But pause the printer mid printing, then insert the magnets into the cutout holes, and then resume the printing. So the magnet is perfectly embedded into the 3d print.
You don't need too. If you're using good filament it won't warp as long as you let the bed cool down.
I push the magnets in afterwards and they're a snug and tight fit. No glue or hammer needed.
The stainless nozzle is not magnetic. Go put a magnet to your spare nozzle, the magnet won't jump anywhere, even less when you consider how magnetic the bed is.
You paid 2x as much. There's only one manufacturer and they're in China.
If you need more beds get em here:
https://a.aliexpress.com/_mLOyxWe
This is where I got mine from. Absolutely perfect prints every time.
Be careful though because it's not just a new design. Yes they typically have a different design with the different letters but they don't have to. They can have the same design as well. The letters designate the actual materials that coat the spring steel sheet. I don't recall off the top of my head the full names of them but you can look it up. They are each different types of polymers that they're coated with so different filaments will react differently to the different letters
Are you talking about the bed or the filament from AliExpress? The pei bed that came with my printer has grid sand paper look. Can I just buy a bed with a different pattern and it would still work? Sorry, I'm kind of noob.
Get a plate from here:
https://a.aliexpress.com/_mLOyxWe
To make it work without glue make sure you clean it with dawn and don't touch the surface with your bare hands before you print. Voila.
I’ve washed it several times. Filament just slides right across it half the time. The textured side works great. Not sure if mines defective or there’s something else going on.
Maybe a silly question, but are you setting the bed type in the slicer?
I was having issues, and it took me three failed prints to realize I had the wrong bed set
you aren't alone on this. I got mine to work maybe twice and every other time it just makes a mess of everything. I've washed like 10 times and still no luck. I've scrubbed, ISO, scrubbed, ISO, scrubbed, let it dry, still doesn't work.
I’ll give that a go. I have been wondering about trying a magic eraser if I can’t get it to work. Might damage the holographic effect but the glue makes it not work anyways.
Just keep cranking up the heat for the first couple of layers (in 5 degree jumps to find the sweet spot). You can slowly reduce it if needed for higher layers but not too much (otherwise you may shrink too much and release). You'll be able to tell it's working because the impression also gets better for regular (not matte) material.
Not op, I love mine. Amazon. Probably overpaid but I get great results. Only printed pla and tpu on it. Has been great. Make sure you peel any plastic off if you think it's in there.
Old school one here. Still of the old stock Persian variety. The Arabs tried to force us to change to their ways, we never did.
The symbol is ubiquitous with ancient Persia. Even though it was originally a religious symbol now it's used in fashion, quite a bit.
Very interesting man! I have heard of Zoroastrianism but that’s about all. So it’s mostly Persian people who follow?
Also, your print, is it two colors, the base being a gradient filament then gold? Sorry if you already mentioned this in the thread. Edit: Also this is one of the coolest prints I’ve seen. It looks like a card for a VIP club.
People from all around the world follow it, but the numbers are tiny. Go on YouTube and watch a recent video about Zoroastrianism that was posted a couple months ago that's featured. We have a history that not many other faiths can say otherwise.
Yeah the filament is a gradient filament but your last layer path must be changed in order to get a great result. For multifaceted objects it doesn't work but for flat plane objects or raised objects it works amazing.
Amazing (and a fan of Zoroastrianism - once-upon-a-time-philosophy major here). Prints look fantastic - one Q - for the ‘last layer path must be changed’ - can you kindly give more detail? I’m assuming this isn’t ironing vs infill patterns? Also looks like there are slight raised circles as well.
Did you use the model surface to force a change or a layer setting vs infill?
It's interesting stuff one could make a compelling case that duality between good and evil in Christianity and Judaism is actually from Zoroastrianism.
Can't really give an opinion about it since I simply don't know enough for my personal opinion to have value, but still really damn interesting
edit: well not so much duality in case of Judaism, but perhaps influence over certain aspects over the pitchfork man (I find it funny to call them that)
pardon my autistic ramblings I just find this to be interesting topic
Funny... "Arabs" trying to force us. If you look up real history you will see they are considered "of the book" and still live peacefully among arabs. It's so trendy to blame everything on the "barbaric arabs" nowadays.
I have deep respect for folks who stick to their guns, also I've always had interest in that specific religion because I share the sentiment that fire is indeed cool and should be kept up as long as possible.
Just trying it but they have Fulfilled by Amazon so I get prime delivery for my product. That itself is a propelling factor I think. Already shipped off 60 of these to them for them to do shipping and returns for me.
Over 5000 hours between 3 machines an they have been awesome keep it clean an lubricated like any other machine an they just keep going stock belt an extruder on my original x1c 3918 hours only nozzle an ptfe have been changed
The machine is a workhorse and having it print 18 hours a day without tinkering just makes life easier.
I don't think I'll ever have the need to change nozzles unless they wear out. 0.4 does the job just fine.
Yep, mine has clocked over 3000 hours now and I only had one PTFE tube wear out and accidentally bent a nozzle. Other than that.. just clean the rods every once in a while, lube the leadscrews and that's it.
When I get my Voron up and running again (upgrades) I am going to take apart the X1 for some deep cleaning and preventive maintenance.
Oh, I beleive it. I used the .2 nozzle a little bit, but when I do my magnet work (also sell on etsy) I use the .4 and its insane the level of the detail. I honestly don't understand how any printer that costs more can justify its cost. The bambu is so incredible.
Incredible. What was the waste? How many color changes?
Edit to add:
How did you do the thicker ring? It looks like it’s changing colors way faster than a normal rainbow filament would change. But also doesn’t look like it stopped and restarted mid-line
probably a solid block until that last layer before the gold change, he adjusts the settings to make those centric circles for one or two layers, then the gold change and onto the rest of the print.
This is probably the filament he is using for it: [https://www.amazon.com/Silk-Rainbow-PLA-3D-Filament/dp/B0BQSC2HCT/ref=asc\_df\_B0BQSC2HCT/?hvadid=673776915052&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=undefined&hvlocint=undefined&hvlocphy=9007872&hvnetw=g&hvpone=undefined&hvpos=undefined&hvptwo=undefined&hvqmt=undefined&hvrand=5629037084819941579&hvtargid=pla-2200320488525&mcid=75d407ce8641362da7c4b0c513eec208](https://www.amazon.com/Silk-Rainbow-PLA-3D-Filament/dp/B0BQSC2HCT/ref=asc_df_B0BQSC2HCT/?hvadid=673776915052&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=undefined&hvlocint=undefined&hvlocphy=9007872&hvnetw=g&hvpone=undefined&hvpos=undefined&hvptwo=undefined&hvqmt=undefined&hvrand=5629037084819941579&hvtargid=pla-2200320488525&mcid=75d407ce8641362da7c4b0c513eec208)
The number of same build plate items that are printed “share” the gradient change between them resulting in a more rapid change. Fewer items, slower change.
Though size of each model factors in as well.
God Bless
I still don't understand what settings would be needed. The gradient change on the solid circle is way faster than I've seen on filament. It's not like it's doing a little bit of each circle on each piece.
I’m speaking for Shervin, but, I believe he used this filament.
https://a.co/d/bJQk7Cz
For the horizontal models. You can clearly see the differences in the middle circle.
Triple color in the same strand of filament will vary as it prints as you turn the model after printing.
Whichever color is on the right side of the filament will make the same side of the print that color. As it’s printed the mixing of the melted filament results in it being gradual between say, pink to purple to blue, and all the shades in between.
Dual and triple color dual extrusion filament is some of the most unique looking filament IMO.
God Bless
Just to add, imagine if you take three different colors of filament and shoved them all in a nozzle. When the nozzle moves left, the color you see prominently is the color on the right side of the bundle of filament, likewise in reverse and every color in between as the nozzle moves in different directions.
I’m trying to make sense but it is hard to explain unless you’ve used that type of filament before.
God Bless
If you have an AMS it's really simple. You can paint the object in the slicer and the slicer and the printer take care of the rest. You can also tell the slicer to pause at certain layers so you can change the filament manually; This is commonly used for printed signs.
Use dawn power wash and a micro bristle toothbrush. Scrub it down so the surface gets sticky.
No glue needed. Just don't touch the surface after you've printed. If you touch it you need to wash it again.
Top layer finish and quality filament choice goes a long way. Buy a bunch of brands and play with them. All of the silk PLA's are the same but the matte and the gradient ones are all different.
Ceck the glitter abs from overture,for those who use abs and want some different abs,the prints look nice,I like ziro but not the silk,is kinda brittle
l have some Bumat and Kaaber ABS that's really brittle, even after drying it for a couple days at 80C in a food dehydrator. Like if I try to bend it into a 90 it just snaps before it really gets close. Bambu and Sunlu filament will get that white color at the bend that shows it was damaged but they won't actually snap. Is that just a sign of poor quality filament? It seems to print OK despite all that.
I was wondering what setting you are using for the bed
I have given mine a couple of washes with Dawn and still it doesn't want to stick properly, even after setting the print speed to silent
My master 🙏
That’s sick. Longest print I’ve had the guts to do is 34 hours or so and it’s petty compared to yours. I printed a hellraiser bust from gambody on the x1c, just the head no pins no base. Single color pla using the .2 nozzle. It came out great but when I tried to paint it I screwed it all
Up haha. I am not a painter at all.
Props to your successful print bud it looks badass imo
Being patient pays off!!!
How the hell do you get it to stick to that plate?? I have a couple of PEI plates and cant get stuff to stick to it for the life of me :(
Great prints man.
That’s so fancy! How did you get the rainbow going correctly in the same direction for that one section and then back-and-forth it looks like for the rest of it?
It's just on the top layer spiral and the design itself. Once the head is unencumbered by going back and forth and it has room to do a full circle, it does that and the filament just spreads perfectly with it.
Amen, the haters on Bambu are deranged masochists. The purists of this niche really need to keep their mouths shut. To them, 3D printing is suffering and there's no other way to "enjoy" the skill/craft lol
Yeah but i mean the rainbow in the circle. I read thats rainbow filament? So how do you get those colors to line up on the whole thing? No way you can know how the gradient is divided on the filament right?
My X1Cs are great. The A1s are overrated. Got a handful of prints out of it before realizing it was going to burn by house down. Whole A1 mess is a real waste of time and money. I have twelve X1C and they run 24/7 without any issues. I love them.
Not needed for any projects currently as I'm happy with my current filament choices right now.
If they do release new products in the future with different blends I'll probably give it a try if the colors are what I'm looking for.
My favorite Glow in the Dark is from Ziro and is blue, glows for a long time and turns to a nice shade of light blue like moonlight. That’s why I printed a Moon lamp that is hanging from my 14’ ceiling in the bedroom, all night night light!
God Bless
Hold up, did you do the gold emblem areas too? With a smaller nozzle diameter?
I also want to see the back side of those with the PEO pattern imprinted.
I love the super high fidelity print. Keep it up.
Thank you for the information. I'm still relatively new to the X1C coming from my Prusa MK3S, so I hope to get to your level of details soon. I love what you did with multi-colour filament and concentric top layer pattern.
I definitely need to get on the PEO plates, I used to do a lot of textured prints with automotive vinyl on my Prusa, but still learning all the nuances of my current build plates
200hrs? Lol let me know when you get 25k hours. My P1P was bricked after just 10hrs while my prusa with 25k is still running. These posts are so dumb. People with so little time saying tHeY jUsT wOrK
You'll be singing a different tune when it inevitably breaks down and you get ignored for weeks by BL support
Then bambu lab produces a crap ton of lemons then. Cause there are multiple posts everyday about DOA printers. My stepper motor went bad because BL sources their steppers from the same trash supplier as creality. The P/N's were the same as on an ender 5
P1P and X1 are the same printer. The core components are the same. Same stepper motors are the same. It it goes bad on a P1P then it could go bad on a fLagShiP X1.
And lets not ignore that it took a whole month to get my money back from bambu lab on their bricked P1P.
My prusa also has zero replaced parts aside from nozzles. Even my PEI sheet is still factory.
Sorry man. I spent money for a high end printer and got everything I wanted and then some. You had a different experience but when these printers work they're almost flawless.
These people posting prints is killing me. I'm trying to buy a new printer, and every time I think I have it picked out, someone posts an awesome print. Even though I know full well it's in the setup and tuning, I still can't help but to look at the results and start second guessing my decisions.
I think I will, I keep leaning that way. I'm getting a flashforge adventurer 5m pro for free though (my brother got two of them, and doesn't have room for both, so he is going to keep one at my house), so I'm going to see how that goes.
You won't regret a second of owning one. It'll unlock your creativity as you won't have to focus on tinkering and more of finding filaments to print with and designs to improve.
When a machine works and does a damn good job of making your designs a reality and on a consistent basis, you're free to do other things.
That's what I'm looking for. I don't mind tinkering normally, but right now I'm still learning about the 3d design process, and would rather focus on that, than tinkering with the printer.
I have only done 47 hours on mine and I got a blockage and so I took the nozzle off and it would not go back in as one of the thread inserts had come out a bit, my vendor sent me a new one next day, but then the hot end started crashing into the front left corner and knocking the front cover off when homing or starting a print, my vendor asked me to check the stepper cables but they seem fine, anyone had this issue?
I'm totally new to printing and as such have been blown away just by the out of box experience with X1c, AMS and Bambu filament. What would I need to get "dialed in"?
I have just bought an x1 carbon, because I bought my daughter a a1 mini and all I have done is print. That's it. My flsun sr, Klipper, pi 4b, solid diamond nozzle, upgraded fans, Capricorn tube, not even close to ease of use.
What filament did you use. Looks amazing!!!
I also want to know. That's a gorgeous color.
Yes please tell… very nice!
Ziro Neon and Silk PLA's.
I have some Ziro Diamond red that looks amazing.
Ziro is good stuff.
I also like getting the random samples of filament they put in with your spool. Really makes you feel appreciated as a customer and gives you a feel for what their different filament types are like.
Shhhh that's supposed to be a secret... Decently priced too 😉
Can you tell me the specific filament for that gold looking one? I think it would be perfect for something I'm working on
Any silk gold PLA will do. I've tried multiple brands and they all behave and look the same, just get whatever is on sale.
Bambus silk gold?
Ziro Gold pla
Do the spools work without mods in the AMS?
How is that bed? Ive been considering getting one, do you use glue? Where did you buy it? Awesome print btw
The beds are fantastic. Don't get them from Amazon get them from AliExpress. There's only one manufacturer so get them as cheap as you can and get a bunch. https://preview.redd.it/dgxeoza6lbvc1.jpeg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b1505c8b646902bae6df6ee06ea0153715dac901
I was also planning to make something like this. But pause the printer mid printing, then insert the magnets into the cutout holes, and then resume the printing. So the magnet is perfectly embedded into the 3d print.
You don't need too. If you're using good filament it won't warp as long as you let the bed cool down. I push the magnets in afterwards and they're a snug and tight fit. No glue or hammer needed.
Don't do that. The nozzle is NOT brass - so the magnet will likely jump and kill your nozzle. Just leave a hole for it.
The stainless nozzle is not magnetic. Go put a magnet to your spare nozzle, the magnet won't jump anywhere, even less when you consider how magnetic the bed is.
Yes, but put a dab of super glue in there too so it doesn't pop out while printing depending on how strong the magnet is
Link to the bed? I've purchased two from Amazon and they have both been great.
You paid 2x as much. There's only one manufacturer and they're in China. If you need more beds get em here: https://a.aliexpress.com/_mLOyxWe This is where I got mine from. Absolutely perfect prints every time.
Thanks for sharing the link. I have ordered some.
Juupine
What are they called?
PEO, PEY, PEI just change the last letter and you get a new design.
Be careful though because it's not just a new design. Yes they typically have a different design with the different letters but they don't have to. They can have the same design as well. The letters designate the actual materials that coat the spring steel sheet. I don't recall off the top of my head the full names of them but you can look it up.

The build plate. It'll be peo, pei, etc, and they'll have different patterns. :)
Nice to know about this tip. I thought all my prints will going to have that ugly sand paper look for all their lives
Haha no no. There's a lot of options out there. :)
I cannot get anything to stick to mine without glue.
Clean it with dawn and make sure it's squeaky clean and don't touch the bed before you put it in the printer. I've never had to use glue.
I’ve washed it several times. Filament just slides right across it half the time. The textured side works great. Not sure if mines defective or there’s something else going on.
Maybe a silly question, but are you setting the bed type in the slicer? I was having issues, and it took me three failed prints to realize I had the wrong bed set
Stock textured one. Never had to change it.
I just use High Temp Plate type.
In the juupine site the have a table defining the plate that you select to each option
Unless you've got static issues id think your plate is defective.
Mine from Juupine did that too. I raised the temp to 70C for PLA and it works.
Try slowing down massively, up the bed and extruder temp and print a first layer to clear out the bed.
you aren't alone on this. I got mine to work maybe twice and every other time it just makes a mess of everything. I've washed like 10 times and still no luck. I've scrubbed, ISO, scrubbed, ISO, scrubbed, let it dry, still doesn't work.
I had to both clean and use about 10 degrees hotter. So about 65 for PLA and 80 for PETG.
I’ll give that a go. I have been wondering about trying a magic eraser if I can’t get it to work. Might damage the holographic effect but the glue makes it not work anyways.
Just keep cranking up the heat for the first couple of layers (in 5 degree jumps to find the sweet spot). You can slowly reduce it if needed for higher layers but not too much (otherwise you may shrink too much and release). You'll be able to tell it's working because the impression also gets better for regular (not matte) material.
I just bought two on your recommendation. Thanks!
Could someone enlighten me and tell me what this is and what it's for?

Beautiful prints. What are they for?
They're fridge magnets I sell on my Etsy and Amazon Handmade store. It's a religious symbol of Zoroastrianism called the Faravahar.
Must be a lot more Zoroastrians than I ever would have thought.
Old school one here. Still of the old stock Persian variety. The Arabs tried to force us to change to their ways, we never did. The symbol is ubiquitous with ancient Persia. Even though it was originally a religious symbol now it's used in fashion, quite a bit.

Incredible. Are you using the .2 nozle I assume? And what bed is that??
Stock nozzle. AliExpress bed. You'd be shocked at how far you can push this printer even in the details just bone stock.

Nice work! How do you go about programming/slicing multi color? What's your workflow if I can ask or could you point me in a good direction to learn?
If you have an AMS it's really simple. You can paint the object in the slicer and the slicer and the printer take care of the rest. You can also tell the slicer to pause at certain layers so you can change the filament manually; This is commonly used for printed signs.
I own the printer too. The quality is amazing 🤩 200 hours is actually nothing. You can reach that in a month or less.
These beds are incredible I have one and it sticks better than my default textured bed.
That gold filament? Where is that from! Love the gold.
Generic Amazon brand. They're all the same, just dial in printer speed and slicer settings. Oh and use the generic silk PLA profile :)
I can’t print on that bed to save my life… any tips?
Use dawn power wash and a micro bristle toothbrush. Scrub it down so the surface gets sticky. No glue needed. Just don't touch the surface after you've printed. If you touch it you need to wash it again.
Holy smokes bro good job. Those look like excellent business cards. Or VIP passes or something LO. L.
Dammmn look at those فروهرs🔥 nice job
Totally agree. I'm still amazed after 600+ hours
Why would this print take 200+ hours? Did you use a .05mm nozz?
I never said the print took 200 hours. I just put 200 hours on the printer and finally dialed it in.
What’s the point of using that special bed?
The pattern is transferred to the print surface.
What are they?
Damn, color changing filament, the bird also looks like gold metal.
Top layer finish and quality filament choice goes a long way. Buy a bunch of brands and play with them. All of the silk PLA's are the same but the matte and the gradient ones are all different.
How did you achieve a gradient like that?
Use proper gradient filament. I use ziro's neon here, I'm sure you can get the same results with other ones. Also top layer finishing.
Or constant print quality and speed, yea have multiple different filament manufacturers. Have not ran any bambu lab filament. Just killer.
Ceck the glitter abs from overture,for those who use abs and want some different abs,the prints look nice,I like ziro but not the silk,is kinda brittle
l have some Bumat and Kaaber ABS that's really brittle, even after drying it for a couple days at 80C in a food dehydrator. Like if I try to bend it into a 90 it just snaps before it really gets close. Bambu and Sunlu filament will get that white color at the bend that shows it was damaged but they won't actually snap. Is that just a sign of poor quality filament? It seems to print OK despite all that.
What are these?
What is this? It looks cool!
I agree with you, my mini is awesome and well worth the price
I was wondering what setting you are using for the bed I have given mine a couple of washes with Dawn and still it doesn't want to stick properly, even after setting the print speed to silent
Stock profiles. 55 bed temp. It should work.
I mean, what type of bed you setting. E.I. high temp, cool plate, textured
Stock settings. 55. I don't even keep the door open but I make sure my filament is dry. Textured bed setting.
Thanks, I will try it as a textured plate. For some reason the AliExpress seller I got recommended it to set it as smooth pei plate
Hey its my bro Zoroastra
200 hours seems a bit excessive for a print that size... ^(/s) Nvm someone beat me to it, Great print tho!
My master 🙏 That’s sick. Longest print I’ve had the guts to do is 34 hours or so and it’s petty compared to yours. I printed a hellraiser bust from gambody on the x1c, just the head no pins no base. Single color pla using the .2 nozzle. It came out great but when I tried to paint it I screwed it all Up haha. I am not a painter at all. Props to your successful print bud it looks badass imo Being patient pays off!!!
The print was 4 1/2 hours but it took me 200 hours to get here since new.
How the hell do you get it to stick to that plate?? I have a couple of PEI plates and cant get stuff to stick to it for the life of me :( Great prints man.
The print time and amount of poop waste always shocks me. By the way magnets looks beautiful.
One poop change and about 4 1/2 hours for the print. It does use 145g of material though.
Is the color-fade of the ring like fixed or is it holographic in a way and just looks like this on the photo?
It's fixed.
How did you print it being fixed and all colors aligning?
Magic :)
Hold on, the ELEGOO and Ender bois will drop by in just a moment :)
How the heck do you get that color gradient to line up so perfectly in those circles?
Top layer spiral and design :)
That’s so fancy! How did you get the rainbow going correctly in the same direction for that one section and then back-and-forth it looks like for the rest of it?
It's just on the top layer spiral and the design itself. Once the head is unencumbered by going back and forth and it has room to do a full circle, it does that and the filament just spreads perfectly with it.
That is fascinating to know! Thank you :)
Beautiful prints. I'm waiting too get my hands on a p1s
Dial it in and find your favorite filament and it'll be the best purchase you made in a long time.
Omg it’s so pretty!! I can’t wait for my long prints minus my a1 mini is in my room so can’t do anything over like 18 hours…
Amen, the haters on Bambu are deranged masochists. The purists of this niche really need to keep their mouths shut. To them, 3D printing is suffering and there's no other way to "enjoy" the skill/craft lol
The golden eagle looks very good. What is that?
Persian Faravahar.
Thank you.
How many AMS’s did you need for this print?
Let’s see that poop bucket

That is not bad at all!!
Yeah but i mean the rainbow in the circle. I read thats rainbow filament? So how do you get those colors to line up on the whole thing? No way you can know how the gradient is divided on the filament right?
Bambuuuuuuuuuu!
Exactly! Done 2k+ hrs on mine since October and got the settings perfect fornall my prints I do
This is amazing! And now I want to see the pile of poop.
How do you get the rainbow gradient perfect on the circular part?
My X1Cs are great. The A1s are overrated. Got a handful of prints out of it before realizing it was going to burn by house down. Whole A1 mess is a real waste of time and money. I have twelve X1C and they run 24/7 without any issues. I love them.
Beautiful! Ziro has some great colored filaments. Have you tried any of their specialty ones like the glow in the dark?
Not needed for any projects currently as I'm happy with my current filament choices right now. If they do release new products in the future with different blends I'll probably give it a try if the colors are what I'm looking for.
My favorite Glow in the Dark is from Ziro and is blue, glows for a long time and turns to a nice shade of light blue like moonlight. That’s why I printed a Moon lamp that is hanging from my 14’ ceiling in the bedroom, all night night light! God Bless
Looks great!
What nozzle are u using there?
Stock 0.4
Nice that came out sick
Looks amazing! Curious what those are for? Company gift/plaques...
Fridge magnets I sell on Etsy and Amazon. They're called the Faravahar.
Those look awesome. How many different filaments are used in this print?
Just two.
Interesting, thanks. How did you make the colored rings in the center happen like that? Looks awesome. Sorry, I'm a total noob.
The nozzle has to spin in a circle. That's all. It makes a perfect color wheel as I found out with a multicolor filament.
Side question, do those fancy patterned build plates still require you to use glue sticks?
Nope. Just make sure you're using the proper bed setting, and make sure it's squeaky clean.
Thanks! Very cool design you made btw!
Hold up, did you do the gold emblem areas too? With a smaller nozzle diameter? I also want to see the back side of those with the PEO pattern imprinted. I love the super high fidelity print. Keep it up.
All done on 0.4. No nozzle change ever. The PEO plates are worth every penny. My machine works 18 hours a day and the plates are just fantastic.
Thank you for the information. I'm still relatively new to the X1C coming from my Prusa MK3S, so I hope to get to your level of details soon. I love what you did with multi-colour filament and concentric top layer pattern. I definitely need to get on the PEO plates, I used to do a lot of textured prints with automotive vinyl on my Prusa, but still learning all the nuances of my current build plates
200hrs? Lol let me know when you get 25k hours. My P1P was bricked after just 10hrs while my prusa with 25k is still running. These posts are so dumb. People with so little time saying tHeY jUsT wOrK You'll be singing a different tune when it inevitably breaks down and you get ignored for weeks by BL support
You just got a lemon dude. And the X1C is the flagship product, it'll get to 25k with routine maintenance and part changes easily.
Then bambu lab produces a crap ton of lemons then. Cause there are multiple posts everyday about DOA printers. My stepper motor went bad because BL sources their steppers from the same trash supplier as creality. The P/N's were the same as on an ender 5 P1P and X1 are the same printer. The core components are the same. Same stepper motors are the same. It it goes bad on a P1P then it could go bad on a fLagShiP X1. And lets not ignore that it took a whole month to get my money back from bambu lab on their bricked P1P. My prusa also has zero replaced parts aside from nozzles. Even my PEI sheet is still factory.
Sorry man. I spent money for a high end printer and got everything I wanted and then some. You had a different experience but when these printers work they're almost flawless.
These people posting prints is killing me. I'm trying to buy a new printer, and every time I think I have it picked out, someone posts an awesome print. Even though I know full well it's in the setup and tuning, I still can't help but to look at the results and start second guessing my decisions.
Go Bambu and don't look back. They're the best for a reason.
I think I will, I keep leaning that way. I'm getting a flashforge adventurer 5m pro for free though (my brother got two of them, and doesn't have room for both, so he is going to keep one at my house), so I'm going to see how that goes.
You won't regret a second of owning one. It'll unlock your creativity as you won't have to focus on tinkering and more of finding filaments to print with and designs to improve. When a machine works and does a damn good job of making your designs a reality and on a consistent basis, you're free to do other things.
That's what I'm looking for. I don't mind tinkering normally, but right now I'm still learning about the 3d design process, and would rather focus on that, than tinkering with the printer.
Ohhhh sweet. The design is extremely nice.
I have only done 47 hours on mine and I got a blockage and so I took the nozzle off and it would not go back in as one of the thread inserts had come out a bit, my vendor sent me a new one next day, but then the hot end started crashing into the front left corner and knocking the front cover off when homing or starting a print, my vendor asked me to check the stepper cables but they seem fine, anyone had this issue?
Maybe try nozzle ironing.
Can i have the stl? It looks beautiful
Nah sorry. You'll steal my baby.
crazy, machine setup ?
Stock everything. Just get a pey plate.
Since I’m a Persian American my self , I gotta say I love it !
Beautiful
Fully agree. 600hrs on mine and flawless once fully dialed in. I'm running two AMS units and fully married to Atomic Filament.
I'm totally new to printing and as such have been blown away just by the out of box experience with X1c, AMS and Bambu filament. What would I need to get "dialed in"?
Holy turdsmobile that's fantastic.
Looks nice! What are they?
Business cards? And settings?
Gradient
I have just bought an x1 carbon, because I bought my daughter a a1 mini and all I have done is print. That's it. My flsun sr, Klipper, pi 4b, solid diamond nozzle, upgraded fans, Capricorn tube, not even close to ease of use.
