A clogged nozzle is a common occurrence, but given that the new Bambu Lab X1 Carbon uses a proprietary hot end and nozzle I thought I'd do a quick video showing how to quickly clear a clogged nozzle.
Thank you so much this was such a breeze. I thought I was going to have to disassemble the whole thing luckily I saw this tutorial first. Even if this wouldn't have worked it was so easy to disassemble and reassemble only 2 screws and I directly saw that the nozzle was clogged when removing. Your heated metal tip worked like a charm too. Much love!
Trust me man, I was also just as skeptical & felt the same afterwards cuz this was what the official Bambu Wiki told me to do & since mine was a kickstarter unit there really wasn’t much “support” set up yet for the printer at the time. But eventually decided to try it since this wasn’t the most ratchet thing I’ve ever done so I gave it a try & it worked! 😂🤯
great video thanks, as a warning to all, make sure to disconnect all hot end cables before attempting the cold pull, I did it and pull back yanked a soldered connector from the board!
This is an amazing printer. Lightyears beyond anything else in its price range. My high end Prusa clone (Pulse XE) seems so antiquated compared to my X1 Carbon.
Thank you for this video. I did this 4 times today. I don’t understand what problem I’m having, but every time I go to print, filament breaks off instantly. The last piece I pulled out had three different colors on it. Never heard of cleaning filament, but appreciate this video.
this helped a great deal! I was able to clear my clog, I did need to remove the hotend and use a needle, but I got it! Also I tried to run filament through the head unit first and that let me detect that the gears were working, just not the tube.
Appreciate the video. It inspire me to use a solder iron with a thin top to heat the inside of the tube then use a thin allenkey to clean the clog. Much appreciate it.
Heads up I had a serious TPU clog. I had to do the allen key trick 3 times (each time it pulled more out) before my nozzle was clear. I almost gave up on it but it worked😊
The thing about some of these videos is that I can't tell if they're hyping up the product..is it really 'that easy' ? but i watched it because i had a tpu clog. And it actually worked easily just like this video. Been jaded from my ender 3 'fixes' lol Thanks for the help!
I had just once a clogged nozzle in the X1. But i decided not to disassebmble much .. is just heated the nozzle up and used the 0,4mm needle (which was also delivered) from below. Just stick it in and a few times up and down thhrough the molten plastic. So maybe i had some dirt which then came out ort some minimal burr at the to of the nozzle. Just to mention i printed no carbon or glasfiber before .. so i thought that way could help And it worked :)
@@kentdixon295 You,ve manul for this on Bambu lab yt Channel, easy to to, Loading filament like normaln, than lover nozzle temp to 100 C, than gently puling fillament up with pressing button to retrackt. Should take up to 5 min in first atempt, and less for next ones.
I've had a few clogs with my e3d hemera and it take the part cooling fan off , the hemera's fan out , removing 2 screws to hold to the motor , slowly remove it , find the part which dropped off it , unscrew the heat break , fix the clog , and put it back together which if you are very lucky about 1/2 a hour now I've done it so many times .
I had my first one and did it another way. Turned the printer off, removed the hot end - same two bolts, then heated up and pushed the filament out with a small allen wrench. I then put some cleaning filament in and let it cool and did a cold pull
Just got mine.... LOVE it! But already got filament stuck/clog. I am hoping it is in the hot end. It happened because of change of filament type/brand. Went from Bamboo PLA Basic to PLA-CF. Never tried cleaning/purge filament before, but will now!
Hi, We are struggling to remove a clog, we can remove the tube from the AMS at the top, but we are unable to remove the 'in out' clip that feeds into the printer. The black spring works but the blue seems to be stuck. Thank you for any help or tips.
A cold pull with Allen key worked for me as well! Thanks!! At first, I was like... what do I use to heat it up?... The tea candle worked just fine 😀 I used some random PLA and wasn't sure about the temperature for P1S... Btw, have anyone tried to use NoClogger tool here?
I’d say a little over a hundred hours but I was also printing with a large variety of filaments with things like carbon fiber, metal powder, glow-in-the-dark powder, etc so I’m kinda surprised it didn’t clog earlier especially since I did have any custom print profiles for those filaments on the X1 printer
@@MinWin3D speaking of, did you load the filled filaments via Bowden using an external spool holder? If so did you disconnect the ams or have a Y shaped Bowden adapter?
Gotta make sure you heat the Hotend back up a bit for it to “let go” or else it’ll be stuck to the inside of the Hotend. That’s the reason why I’m using large pliers to hold it rather than my fingers.
Yes. There are 2 levels of protection. 1. Hardware. It uses a ceramic heater which limits the temp the more resistance that it gets. Maxing out around 305C or in an abuse scenario 400C.( you would literally need to overvolt the heater but it would burn itself out but not reach thermal runaway like older style heating cartridges) 2. Software time out of 30 seconds(formally 3 min) but there was zero chance of it overheating see 1 Even with a software failure the ceramic heater will never have a thermal runaway event due to its design.
