Trying to find the borders of each technology piece and push the limits, this is my passion and I am now sharing my findings, experiments, and solution with you! Sign up now, subscribe to my RU-vid Channel and Instagram and be the first to know about what is happening!
@@techwithkramer yes I have that ams from Bambu the part came in disconnected just sitting in the ams, I thought it was and extra part so I kept it in a bag with the spare hot end
I feel this quick video is an upgrade over the Bambu wiki. Before the Bambu P1S, I had an Ender 3. I tried so many of the RU-vid Uncle's Special Recipes on that machine that I started fearing messing up the machine while trying to fix it. Bambu seems a lot more solid in its approach to servicing. But then seeing how Bambu's own wiki showed using a lighter on nozzle with the sensor and its wiring still attached, I got flashbacks... Glad to have found this video. I especially like the feeder on the nozzle end so I do not have to guess how much muscle force to use while feeding to see if my nozzle is still clogged. Now nice circles mean clean nozzle.
I'll start with pointing out the one mistake I noticed. When inserting the spring I believe the tab comes to the end with screw. You placed it in the wrong end. It was originally in the wrong end and you were able to pull the gear out because of that before removing the top screw. All in all great video and helped me step by step doing the job. And btw the funniest moment was when both of us pulled the toothbrush out at the same time. I smiled there. Great video thank you.
@@techwithkramer yes I check everything, I think there is still something stuck in the extruder. Cleaned it twice with a hot small pin and pulled out some old filament. Looks like there is still something small inside. Terrible how the nozzle is made, almost impossible to fix this.
@Mazerunner95 if you take the extruder apart (I have a video of that too), you can easily take anything stuck out of there. Please check out the extruder video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-g6e-1oZAcm0.html
0:38 What if neither extruding or retracting works? I've both pushed and pulled the filament. A little bit at first up to a bit more forceful than I'd like. It won't budge.
Why in the world are you recommending that people buy a nozzle heater, thermistor, and silicone socks, when all of that comes with a new nozzle (which you recommend people buy extras of).
Because things break and you don’t want to change the whole nozzle just because of a defect heater or thermistor. Same with Silicone socks, they break way before the nozzle is gone. Just years of experience and tens of thousands of hours running several Bambu printers…
My X1C extruder seems to have some goop over the connector. I can't see where it plugs into the smaller circuit board. Is that normal, and is it safe to pull it off like you did?
A1 had a clicking nozzle, cleared the blockage by lowering the temp as described! Thanks mate I tried a lot of other things but your instructions were a great help. I did lower temp to 90 though.
Only thing with this video is when he puts the spring back in, the metal piece that looks like a top hat was supposed to go in on the screw side of the spring, not the other side. His video it looks like he put that piece on the opposite side of the spring, not on the side with the screw.
I put mine together the way he did in the video, and I thought to myself I thought that piece went on the other side. But I thought I must be wrong, and followed his video. It's working fine, with no issues, but that piece definitely goes in on the side where the screw screws on and not the side he put it on. So keep that in mind if you follow this tutorial
You are correct all the way. I tried to add some text with the correction but it only shows on certain browsers… but yes, it needs to be the opposite side, even though it works both ways. Thanks for trying it too 👍🏻
@@techwithkramer yeah it’s works fine, mine is backwards, and I’ve been printing non stop with no issues. So must not matter as long as that spring is compressed. But great video very detailed.
Mine had somehow clogged inside the wheel :O As in, the plastic had created a blob on the filament itself and made it impossible to remove the extruder gear :( If this happens to anyone else, make sure you don’t remove the filament sticking out of the top of the extruder, since cutting it off means it’s much more difficult to get the clog out. you can get a small tool (I used a small hook tool designed for SMD electronics) to pick and tear at the filament inside until it breaks inside, then pull on the filament and you should be able to remove the extruder gear and clean up the rest. Just note, the hotend is probably also clogged if this happens. I used a sodering iron to remove the blob of plastic in the opening of the hotend (not the nozzle) untill it was clean. Then I heated up only the hotend (without a fan attached to not risk damaging the fan which I’ve done too many times) and was able to manually push filment through. Then for good measure I did a small ”cold pull”. My guess as to how this happened is that there was a clog in the nozzle. I used the menue on the printer trying to extrude plastic. When that did not work I reversed the extruder and tried feeding it again. The filament was probably still hot, so when the extruder tried to push it down it simply compressed it causing it to blob. Sooo… don’t do that…
Wish I came across your video yesterday would have saved me a lot of frustration. This by far is the best how to extruder video. Got a love the humorous bits ❤❤❤
