Bambu Lab X1 Carbon: Should YOU buy one? 

My left ear enjoyed watching this video.

Thanks for this review! I’m looking at several potential printers and this was one I was interested it. I liked that you showed the two printers printing the rocket side by side. That was really helpful to see just how fast this printer is!

I'm a Bambulab fanboy!!! Luv my X1C for me it's made 3d printing fun again... its a destructive game changer.. I am selling my old printers and not looking back. I use it mainly for engineering projects. Luv the app to notify you of problems or completion.

Wow. Really enjoyed seeing how good this is. Looks like a real game-changer. Thanks for the amazing review!👍

Great video! I just got x1 and can’t wait to use it

Stumbled upon you loviiiiieeeeeeeee. Love your stuf my good chap and graciously subscribed to you de’ahhhh. Oh by the way, I’m very impatiently waiting for my Bambu X1C Cobo jobbiiieeeeee. Keep up the good work sirrrrrr.

Great video with real world results. I'm a fan. Keep up the great work!

Great video. I retired my Mk3s+ for the X1C and didn't look back. After seeing the speed and quality difference first hand It didn't seem fair to the Mk to compare them anymore. For anyone still on the fence, the new kid (BL) is shaking up the whole industry with out of the box impressive prints and features.

Great work guys! Love the video, your reactions!! Glad you like the X1C! Let me know when you come out with more fun models too! Haha 😆

Very engaging video. Really like how informative it is without it being a sit down review. Feel like a friend is telling me about their new equipment.

Mines on order. Can't wait til it arrives!!!

Awesome video. Keep them coming!

Thank you for a fantastic and constructive review, i am new to 3d printing and was at first looking at the P1P. But have been seriously considering paying the extra money for the x1, and i think you may have just put me over the line. All the best with your channel, you have a new subsciber. Greetings from Australia.

Really good to see it compared to the Prusa in real time, big difference

I like the beginning, it’s nice to see an actual real life unboxing 👏

I got into 3d printing just a few months ago with a Ender 3 S1 Pro and I've been considering upgrading to this heavily the past few days and selling my other one to a buddy. Great video, I was surprised in the video I noticed you're only at 370 subs, video quality is great you got a new sub! One thing, your microphone audio sounds a bit roomy/airy I'd suggest upgrading. I am probably going to fold and buy this printer soon haha

Hey great video and you guys have tons of potential just remember to clone audio to be on left and right or just edit with headphones on so yu can hear the audio. I hear one of your clips only through the left side of my headset but overall the quality is fantastic

I’m ur 1001th subscriber

Great video keep it like this 👍. Just an ideea you can put in title Bambu Lab x1 vs Prusa. Because there are people witch are searching exact for this comparation but didn't find your (great) video on RU-vid.

I have a bunch of bedslingers as well as a Flsun v400 but they don’t compare to my x-1 carbon. Bambu is my new boo.

Good video, keep making good videos like this and I am sure your channel will grow. It would be interesting to hear your views and comments using multi colours. As a single colour printer the Bambu Lab X1 is by far the best printer out there but from what I can gather it lets itself down when doing multi coloured prints in both wastage and print time. I do plan on getting myself one in a few months as well as the Prusa XL, and using the Bambu for only single coloured prints. Keep up the good work.

Hey from Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Great video. I'm literally 50/50 on whether to buy one of these. I currently have a Flashforge Adventurer 3 which has been, and still is a solid printer for my needs. Decisions, decisions. 🤔😂.

i love this channel, yes isubscribed

My left ear really enjoyed this video....

I'm looking to get the X-1 for my first and hopefully only 3D printer. I was set on the Prusa for the last few years but it's so outdated now that and the price is still up there.

Well done! Look forward to the next video. How about printing a crusader chess set??

X1C or P1P, which one do you advice to buy ? Pros and cons ? Thanks

My left ear totally loved the intro :P

subbed, great video, unboxing was funny as hell. just need a different mic setup for the facecam since it was distant sounding and was all left sided.

Nice review - go on with your videos. My only remark would be to get better in the audio quality.

Great Video, We thank you for your time. I also subscribed to your channel. I am looking for more info always. One question I have is, at what speed did you print? Standard or sports or More. I understand keeping it a standard for the first layers. I was just curious if you left it at that speed. Thank You

Great video! Audio was only coming out of the left channel for me on most parts FYI

It’s all your fault. I ordered my X1C w/AMS last week. Can’t wait for it to arrive. Love the videos and looking forward to new ones.

As bambulab is new to 3d printing I'm gonna wait for an X2 Carbon or what it's gonna be called where they learned from the first version and create a even more mature product.

well after watching this i think i might be getting one

Can't wait to see how the X1C compares to the MK4 just announced

I do hope firmware can speed up the start stuff. That is SLOOOOW to start all right lmfoa

The only thing you really need is a new mic :) srsly tho, great video!

Nice video, subbed. Where can I find the rocket STL? 🚀

Might be a stupid question but I imagine that the glue stick is just a normal glue stick like a pritt-stick, or is it something just for 3d printers?

Great vid. The X1 Carbon looks ace, and performs very well, but £1400 is a bit steep for a hobby. Considering most Chinese offerings are around £200 or less. I think it would only make sense if it was for a printing business. Six of these in a row could make some cash.

Great Channel, excited to see your future videos. I own a P1P....fastest and nicest printer i have in my stash.

Your vid has a weird stereo situation where your voice is coming out of one headphone and your music in the other lol. I was watching the beginning thinking that it was a voiceless intro since I didn't have my left can over my ear. I was just watching you speak with music. It didn't happen when you didn't add the music in the background however so during the unboxing I could hear you out of my right can.

If I were in Josef Prusa's place, I would stop managing with one printer for 10 years and start working now. Is it after this time or is it too late?

You only have to redo the prep time on the Bambu when you change filament.

left audio channel is bombed in the voiceover clips

Please test the new prusa as well 👍😘

You are right about it being faster and usually better quality. But, you’re not comparing apples to apple’s. 5yr old bed shaker vs a new CoreXY. But, either way Prusa XL has some big shoes to fill. 😢

Damn you. Now I am buying an X1C.

Hello. Does anyone know where to find 3d model of this Rocket ? Need it for my sons. Thanks a lot

What's the link to that model rocket?

I still wish they had some kind of hotend or nozzle swapping

The XL better be fast AF or prusa has some troubles ahead of them. Imagine if the creality k1 is out preforming a 2k$ machine

Can u link the rocket model

Like many others I've considered buying a Bambu as well. But I do like to do my research before I spend this amount of money. And at present I've landed on not getting one because of a few (for me) dealbreakers with the Bambus. But I thought I'd take a look at your video since it popped up in my feed to see if it delivered on its "promise" of telling me if I should buy one after all. Because maybe there's something about it I've overlooked, or Bambu has changed, that would make it a viable alternative for me after all? Unfortunately, in that regard, I think your title is somewhat misleading. To me it implied that this video would be a _review,_ updated with newer information than was available around launch. But OK, fair enough, I guess I took the bait. But just so you know, clickbait titles are for me, and many others, enough to make us NOT click the subscribe button. So that's something you might want to take into considderation for future videos. Also as I said in the beginning; for me, there are dealbreakers with these machines. And before I realised that this wasn't actually a review, I was a bit disapointed to see you not mentioning any of them. And as I see some in the comments actually on the fence. I thought I'd share: Dealbreaker #1: Noise level. This is NOT a printer for people with one bed apartments to put it like that. Well, unless you like to wear noice cancelling headphones at all times when printing. I don't have a shed, but I do have a glassed balcony. Unfortunately I can't really justify wasting that much heating on just a printer now when electricity is as expensive as it is. Dealbreaker #2: Bambu's locked down "ecosystem" with all proprietary parts. Which also leads to: Dealbreaker #3: Customer Service and Serviceability. Bambu does not trust their customers with much more than changing hotend and clearing a clog. For a somewhat good reason as the RU-vidr, "Nathan Builds Robots" just experienced: The printers simply aren't serviceable by the consumer. He got a printer with a rattling noise in one of the bearings and asked them to send a new bearing for him to swap out himself. But was told he didn't have to "worry about it". He insited on having it changed though, and as it turned out; what should have, and would have, been a very simple fix on almost every other 3D printer on the market. In Bambu's ecosystem, instead prompted a need to return the printer to the manufacturer. Dealbreaker #4: Buildquality. The first unboxing I saw was a guy who received a sample that had the fan on the inside come loose during transportation. The reason? It was fixed to the inside wall with double sided tape! The fan was mounted with TAPE on a 1500 USD printer! And referring back to NBR's brush with Bambu's QC; it led to him discovering that Bambu has used GLUE to afix the sidepanel on the P1P. There are also a ton of people complaining about issues and DOA'ed Bambu printers all over the Internet. Another example is the RU-vidr, "3DMusketeers" who has had to run his printfarm basically without his Bambu for over a month on account of him receiving a lemon. Dealbreaker #5: Longevity and Closed source software and hardware. These printers are actively trying to shake themselves to pieces. With almost no customer serviceable parts and everything locked down. These printers are all destined for the landfill sooner than open-source printers. (This is one of the issues I hope Bambu will do something about, like AnkerMake just announced with their M5 printer). Dealbreaker #6: Filament waste during multicolour printing. This will off course vary from model to model. But worst case I've seen I think was around 5x the filament used as the weight of the finished print. And 2-3x worse than a Prusa using an MMU2. Finally; Not a dealbreaker as such: But the X1C isn't actually faster than the cheaper FLSUN V400 (check 247printing's video). One might get the impression it's faster from watching the Bambu shaking like a washing machine during the spin cycle. But when timed, the V400 actually wins. Making the Bambus actually just an alternative for people who needs fast multicolour printing and doesn't care about noise, material waste, bad service and serviceability, and the huge price tag. Well... IMHO... :P

X1C too expensive for all I need, I take P1P and very nice printer, soo fast it's amazing

Why is this titled "in 2024" when it was posted a year ago?! I need to know if this printer is still the best choice.

No doubt a very capable machine UNTIL IT GOES WONG 😮

Nice ad.

Your audio is driving me crazy, as it shifts back-and-forth from right ear to left ear, while constantly changing volume levels. AAARG !!

you need someone to fix your audio because its blasting in my left ear XD

Audio when you're in camera is mono, left channel only.

short answer: NO. the new qidi max and the new creality are both the same speed with a bigger buildplate, enclosure heating and far less expensive. bambu had its chance and missed it.

As much as I like this printer it is a nightmare to service and by nightmare I mean impossible. They are literally the Apple of 3d printer.

Your audio sounds tinny.

Although the Bambu Lab printer is great at printing fast I would avoid the AMS as it is a poorly designed unit that causes more problems than it is worth, wasting filament and unless you spend time and money on it is not fit for purpose unless using Bambu filament. Do not waste your money.

Overall great speed comparison in the end thanks for sharing. But I was initially put off by your intro. Just get a half decent mic would and less shouting please.

Walled garden? No thanks to central planning.

It is worth mentioning the NEGATIVE point of Bambu lab, and it is that an Internet process is always needed since the slicer is made in China, This consequence is that you cannot work without the Internet and it will take much longer to get the final STL to be able to print. It is also worth mentioning that yesterday CREALITY announced its new K1 printer, with a larger 300x300x300 bed. It would be necessary to buy them, since the prices are very even. BambuLab has a very important function and that is to have the filament pack to print in various colors without external software, that's 10. But not all that glitters is gold. Your audios on the rotated phone are heard on only one speaker. When you are at the desk sitting. For your next videos, greetings from Spain.

Changing the video title to match the year when the video was posted over a year ago is def scummy...

Is it just me that can't hear him talk

Bambu support is terrible

And let your person information go to the CCP with their proprietary software dialing home...🤨

What a scumbag thing to change the title on a video that was clearly meant for 2023.

Customer service is rubbish

I have subscribed and liked video as requested. Would love to follow you on Twitter or Instagram I have the same name on Twitter
