This is great information! I need to swap my nozzle after only 5 days of printing! The nozzle got clogged using the default Generic PETG profile (with Prusament PETG). Bambu Lab was also very forward thinking by including nozzle clog clearing tools with the printer, though I also used these incorrectly and seemingly made the clog worse. They even included a spare nozzle! It's like until knew exactly what was going to happen. I'm very impressed.
Thanks. This was very helpful! I have the set of complete hot-ends for normal nozzle size swapping, but my .2 nozzle got hopelessly clogged and your video was perfect. Took the nozzle off/apart, replaced it, the thermistor, and heating element for good measure, and back in business. Its a little messy but it works!
Good video, now I'm glad that I just got the complete assembly, I think it is worth the extra, especially if you want to swap often. I also suggest you have extra bolts on hand, I lost one somewhere inside the X1 Carbon one of the times I was swapping, never could find it.
My ideal setup is to have the nozzles I use all be full assemblies and have a spare of each size as a bare hotend. So I can swap the nozzles as I want but I have a spare for if and when they wear or get damaged somehow.
Easy to follow, thanks for the video. Mine was embedded in plastic and impossible to disassemble. I had to put it back on the printer and heated it up to 85C until I could work a pick under the plastic to work it all free. Was just barely cool enough to handle and using the pick gently I was able to peel it all free and swap it out.
I dont even have the printer yet but i'm used to taking stuff apart and putting it back together because I do that weekly with controllers and conskles :D I'm so ready for this hobby it's insane!
Great video. I bought a spare hotend and had to replace it for the first time last night. I'll probably just order the nozzle since I have spare full hotend to work with. Your video was so very helpful.
Happy new year! Officially here in the UK anyway lol. Just done this on the stroke of midnight, proper party lol. Thanks for saving me with a worn nozzle replacing with the x1c spare! Cheers.
ive had my p1s for going on about 3 months now maybe alittle long but ive not changed the nozzle it came with yet an i was thinking about swapping the spare it came with out for the one its been using but part of me wants to order a couple different sized nozzles an a hole hotend assembly cause i have nothing on hand to fix it if something happens to it so i think im going to buy up a few extra hole assembly b4 i try to swap my first one. i got a bunch of stuff for my other printers but ive not picked anything up for my bambu labs yet mainly cause i have to buy directly instead of being able to pick it all up on amazon.
Just did this for the first time, nerve racking as hell, lol. It wasn't that bad. My .4mm nozzle died, broke off, and had to do this with the extra one they sent, move everything over. I just ordered all the sizes, one made up and then a $15 replacement for a spare. I only have a .4mm and a .2mm made up so it cost me like $140 bucks but I already wanted the two larger sizes for a huge project I'm printing now.
Can I just unscrew the nozzle itself and replace lit like on the ender 3? The nozzles only cost less than one buck and I want to do the same with P1P. If not then are there any mods that help me?
So did I blink at the wrong moment, or did this video have nothing to do with changing the nozzle, but rather just how to reapply thermal paste to a replacement hot end???
the bambulab x1c has a pwm fan. so 4 wires one for power one ground one to sense speed and one pwm. the p1p with 2 wires would be on at the speed the fan is designed to
After the swap my printer says nozzle temp is abnormal the sensor may use an open circuit. The temp of the zozzle displays zero but it's hot to the touch
Sounds like your thermistor is not wired properly or is broken. I would check that all the wires are properly put into the board and seated good. Also check that no wires are pinched or anything on the hot end..
I just took the hot end assembly apart to make sure I followed the directions to a T. I checked the connectors to make sure the connection was tight to the board . I removed the square metal thing on the nozzle to check the copper wires to the hole and make sure it's not pinched . I'm kinda lost now . I made sure to look at the wiring to see if there was damage and I didn't see any . The calibration fails almost immediately and the self test too
Would you mind helping me out ? I could email pictures of my setup and maybe you can see what the hell is going on . My printer has been down for a few weeks . I got it a week before Christmas and printed beautifully until the first nozzle clogged up and I found this video on hot to do the swap . It's so frustrating
I stopped this tedious procedure since I bought a hotend with removable nozzle, just lower the bed, screw off the nozzle, screw on new nozzle at 260C, done
yeah see here's the thing though...its offset by the fact that it's the only printer that you can buy that shows up, and works flawlessly from the start. being able to print so finely that when tuned properly, there's literally not even visible print lines for some filaments. ive found on multiple occasions that files i was printing actually wound up being out of spec because they were designed around printers with larger margins of error, and the bambu was printing it with damn near pixel perfect accuracy. i had to edit STL's on occasion for designs that were integrated with precision machined metal parts because it was capable of achieving such ridiculously tight tolerances. im here on this video right now because this is the first and only repair ive ever had to do on it after extensive use. do you know how much ive put through it in that time? 56. 56 rolls of PLA+ with the only issues ive ever had being caused by being lazy about cleaning the glue off the baseplate often enough. ((i use a proprietary mix of elmers and bottled water, secret recipe.)) it cost me $14.99. i pulled out 3 connectors, removed 4 screws, and applied thermal paste. if that's wrong, i don't wanna be right.
This is why I have a complete horned setup for .2, .4, and .6 which makes my swaps happen in under 5 min which is awesome compared to the process I had to go through on my Anycubic Chiron. I also have spare hotends for the chance I get a clog that cannot be cleared or the end gets damaged in some way… but either which way I would rather work on my P1S than the hassle it takes to work on my Chiron.
dear god what a pain in the ass. I've got a Revo CR on my ender 3 and I can change nozzles with just my fingers and doesn't require any thermal paste. I change nozzle from print to print. This is an absolute nightmare comparatively. A 0.6 might be a decent middle ground, but I love being able to jump to a 0.8 nozzle when printing brackets or large prints with no fine detail. It makes those prints stronger too.
Guy didn’t even unscrew the nozzle. They’re threaded therefore replaceable. I wanted to see someone unthread and thread a new one in. thanks for nothing
when i see things like this i know we are not destined to go to space and have never been to the moon. Why things are designed like this is fustrating. But I get, money. If everything was perfectly designed you could not make money. Why my fridge from the 90s is still working. SMH
