HEY, YOU! Yeah yeah, you. Stop scrolling. Read this! Are you reading? OK, cool. Freaking THANK YOU for watching my video. Seriously. I really fricken appreciate it. You matter to me. Now, if you're also vibing, and appreciate me back, leave a comment or a like or something. No big deal. We don't have to be exclusive. K, thanks, love you, bye.
Great! I love those X1 upgrade videos! Keep them coming!! 😁 But please do a thorough test of the hotends from E3D and Revo. That would be great! 😊 Love from Norway
It's been a while since I've watched videos on BambuLab printer and upgrades, but that little moment you spoke about the "Mark of shame" with the dirty lead screws marking your hand and forearm? Ya I felt that big time. Happens every single time I reach into the printer, even when I don't feel that I touch the lead screws! Lol
I'm sorry but what the hell was this video? You quite literally didn't recommend a few of these upgrades. If you want to make people aware of certain third party upgrades, sure that make sense. Yet the title of the video is "The BEST New Upgrades....". If you haven't finished fully testing an upgrade, or just can't recommend it without some major caveats, is it really a BEST new upgrade? I'm honestly not sure if you just used a ridiculous title, or just made this video for the sake of hitting some video's per time period quota. Either way, it doesn't exactly inspire me to watch more of your content.
I have a p1s and have been following xtouch for ages now. While I'm happy to do the DIY work it requires, a well polished pre-made alternative will always appeal to me. Especially since it's a 5inch screen which is currently not guaranteed with the xtouch version yet. Safe to say I'll be getting the panda screen
Just received my P1S. I bought it even though I knew the display was not as good as X1 or even some competitor printers. I plan on doing the xtouch upgrade but I agree that a polished display that maybe is ready off the shelf would be better. I wouldn't expect one from Bamboo Lab because it conflicts with their product line up.
Just got my X1C, and it's amazing. Especially when you replace the glue-stick mess plate with the Bambu textured PEI plate. This thing is so freaking fantastic, I want a second one, both with AMS. The quality is so much better than my 5 other printers, and it's so painless. No regrets. Wish I bought it earlier. I'm not f-ing with it AT ALL. It's Perfect. If you want painless printing without a hobby tinkering project, get the X1C.
@@pedshred Compared with what, having time to waste tinkering with things and troubleshooting failed prints that wasted hours? I would agree I prefer not wasting time. Not saying you have to get one, but I do think you would like it. Auto bed-leveling, auto z-offset, auto pressure-advance, AI fail detection, remote 1080p webcam monitoring and timelapse captures, wifi support without octoprint. It covers a lot of hassles. Think how many more high-value comments you could post on youtube. You could be super helpful criticizing other people for things you're jealous about, instead of maybe fixing your own life.
Gosh I've spent a ton of money trying to "upgrade" my cr10 and enders to get them printing reliably and with good quality. Probably more at this point than a p1p. I wish the p1p was out back then. Worth spending more for a Piece of mind. No tinkering and more printing. Parts cost aside think about all of the labor in terms of cost wasted on those crap printers. Bambulabs p1p, x1c, or bed slingers are the way to go. I also want a second x1c
I feel like 1. this video was made for me. 2. I should really just follow BigTree Tech lol. This was a much better video than the earlier bambu aftermarket video. Really great work.
Recently I've seen on insta what looks like a P1P, but like...Mirrored, it's stripped down, and black, like the P1P. But has a big display in the X1C Fashion, but mounted at the right upper side. And it's branded BigTreeTech. And it claims to be even faster than Bambu's. That's when I started following them, few days ago. Pretty curious to see what they're on!@@thenextlayer
A/B testing a ton of different titles. If it was the one about why I no longer recommend X1 C as my number one, I explained that I would probably recommend the P1 S above it now that the aftermarket screen is available.
For the LED strips I've heard Bambu only rate the 2-pin port for 300mA. The strips are all well over 1A, so I wouldn't use one of those, personally. The ones connected to the USB port are probably OK. Somewhat related, I have a riser on my P1S and have no additional rattles with the AMS mounted on top.
@6:52 not everyone is comfortable with electronics, wiring soldering and programming. It appears that Levi has not setup an xTouch before. There is no wiring, no soldering and no programming involved in the 5 minute process of letting the tool flash your screen and entering WiFi credentials into a JSON file. The interface isn't perfect but none of this is requires. Print and screw together an enclosure (actually this is optional) and plug in a USB cable to the hidden port in the printer. Teaching tech has a great video and a nice enclosure.
I haven't even gotten my P1S yet, (its on a ship heading to St. Lucia) but I already have two of the displays and will be setting it up so its ready by the time I unbox the printer!
This. It can also be set up via a web browser similar to home assistant and esphome. There is a USB A port maybe 3 inches from where you would typically place it. Easier than troubleshooting a clogged nozzle IMO.
I may consider myself quite a fanboy of the Revo ecossystem, even though the nozzles are quite expensive and the risk of bending them accidentally do exist (I have lost quite a few nozzles, specially when setting up my printers after rebuilding them). To be honest, I believe I´m the only one in Brazil using them for now (at least I haven´t seen any Brazilian videos about the Revo ecossystem and the only reason I haven´t done one myself is because I haven´t had the time or willpower to do it - I´m focusing on concluding my personal 3D printing projects, for now it´s the honeycomb wall - by your recommendation BTW... it´s getting awesome! first section is already concluded). Currently I´m using a Revo Six (12V core) on one of my rebuilt printers, and a Biqu H2S Revo (24V core) on the rebuilt Anycubic Mega X. I find it awesome that there´s a Revo option for the Bambulabs printers (although I think it´s unnecessary for the A1 series as it has its own quick swap system) but for me, personally, what matters the most (as I don´t have a Bambulabs printer and I don´t plan on buying one for now) is that Bigtreetech will now offer the high flow nozzles on their shop (which I can actually use on my current Revo printers). You see, for me it´s easier to source them from Chinese authorized resellers than directly from E3D in UK, mainly because of incompetence from Brazilian customs (they returned about 50% of my packages from E3D). I have to say that with all the bureaucratic difficulty that makes me rather stubborn on using Revo LOL. Maybe they will also carry replacement parts as well, such as heater cores and also Obxidian nozzles, which currently I can source only from E3D directly (which leads to looong delays due to Brazilian customs incompetence as mentioned) or from USA (with extorsive shipping rates). Currently the only available nozzles from Bigtreetech were the standard ones, hopefully they will also sell stand alone Obxidian and high flow nozzles as well now. Ordering them from BTT instead of directly from E3D will make things rather easier.
I updated my X1C and it is quiet now. I kinda miss the noise. (“woowoowoowoo,WOOWOOWOOWOO”). Now my P1P is singing the song of its people all alone 😢😅😂
The "Panda" hotend is something I've been waiting for - it seemed like such an obvious collaboration, and adds some diversity to the Bambu parts chain. But it's too expensive for me, at least for now. The real value is in the cold-swap for nozzles, and I find I just don't change nozzles often enough. Granted I'd probably do it more if it was a little easier, but right now, that cost is out of my reach. Heck, I'm about to run out of filament and can't even afford to buy more of that! Still, that's a "me problem" and I'm glad to see this new option in the market. Hopefully it performs well and sticks around.
This was the first I've heard of 3rd party hotend and nozzles for bambu printers. Very cool. And that detachable screen is cool too. Great video, thank you.
Camera Replacement on P1S 3D Printer Hello, I have a P1S 3D printer and I wanted to ask if I could replace the default camera of the P1S with the camera from the X1 series ?
Wow! Big thanks for that rod sloth model! I am just going to upgrade to POM nut on my Ender 3, and it will surely will help me to remove all grease from Z screw! Once and for all = ) As you do not need to grease it anymore if you use POM nut on Z. = ) On the other hand, I think I can just detach the screw and wash it with a toothbrush and solvent, as it is easy on Ender 3. But anyways I think it is a good addon, for people who are oldfashioned and like to tinker with their printers = )
Just dont cover things you cant be arsed to test. This video was so frustrating, half the things in it were just you poo-pooing them and giving excuses why you either wont test them or wont test them properly.
RE: Upgrading the chamber fan to a Noctua - IIRC the main reason they run quieter in this specific use case is because they run at half the intended RPM due to the voltage difference. Basically just capping the max speed of the fan in hardware + money + effort. Better to just modify the filament profile to slow the fan down (it's in the gcode - and I think Bambu has already done this for their profiles in a recent update).
The big advantage of the X1C over the P1S, other than the touch screen, is LIDAR and the higher speed, higher resolution camera. IF you are doing engineering parts, the LiDAR and calibrated flow control make a significant difference. However, for the average home user, entthusiasts or maker, you will notice little difference between the P1S and the X1C. PErsonally, I am not doing super accurate engineering printing, so I am seriously looking at the P1S to replace my aging Ender 5. The Ender 5 has been good, but I have the choice, Bambu Lab that just works, or spend almost the same money on upgrades on the Ender 5 that may or may not work. For me, it's a no brainer as I am past upgrading for the sake of upgrading. I am now at the stage where I want things to work.
Cool! A printer that runs great... wait i can make it like all the other printers, by messing with it. Sorry the upgrades for the horns are not what I'm looking for if it requires constant tweeking. That's not an upgrade it's turning a perfectly good printer into a tinkers toy again.
Thank you and keep up the fine videos, I'll keep smashing the like button ! The Revo sounds interesting, but 60W vs 48W means that heating current increases by 25% ( at full load ). Can the Bambu Lab circuitry handle that ?
I dont know if you did a video on that but, what filament brand do you recommend for at least PLA and PETG on a Bambu Lab. Im almost a new owner, my P1S is supposed to arrive today, and Im interested in all that can help me with it. Thank you very much for this and all your video by the way ! You have a great way to present information, clear and entertaining, I feel like a friend is telling me about this stuff :) Great job !
1/4 the cost of the printer for a new hot end that gives results no worse than the original. But you don't need a spanner 😮 you have to be joking and oh yes you still have to buy the heat sink 😅 Whole advantage of the bamboo is it just works and doesn't need crazy expensive upgrades that don't make it better😊
You really don’t need to touch screen. I’ve been living on a MakerBot Replicator+ and just received a P1S. For a normie getting into the game. The screen is fine. It chopped some price off the MSRP and I’m fine with that. I never need the screen except to bump the speed or stop. If you’re putting everything on SD cards.. possibly if you don’t name your files well enough and you forget what you put in the card. But the screen is fine for what it is. Yes if someone in the 3D printing world who’s had 30+ printers and has seen the world of screens, then yes. It’s like a Ferrari Owner complaining about a Honda Civic. But a first time driver would love the civic for the price.
Where I really get frustrated is the inability to map filament from the AMS via the P1S interface. Drives me nuts to have to go to the computer or phone to do it.
Although you don’t really have any issues with cooling on the X1 it always seemed odd to me that Bambu labs directed the part cooling duct a bit high and it points some what at the side of the silicon sock. That’s something the Voron guys tried to avoid with their stealthburner because they found that it’s actually not great airflow to have the duct pointing at the heater block despite it being common practice.
Nice to know there's a out of the box solution coming for the LEDs. It's by far the biggest shortcoming of the X1C. I just did a small riser yesterday with Cobb LEDs and TPU gasket for the glass. By far my favorite the most worthwhile update to this printer. For those concerned about rattling, this thing's super snug and with the tpu gasket there is zero play.
So I was leaning towards the X1 Carbon Combo as my first printwr until you mentioned the fan noise. Are there any enclosed units that dont need a fan upgrade?
@@thenextlayer I work from home and I am pretty limited on space so this will sit at my desk with me that is also in my living room. Is that a realistic scenario for any printer?
5:48 ok now that’s got me more interested. Since I learned about diamond back nozzles I’ve wanted one. But I just have a SV06, and I can’t justify spending $100 on a nozzle for a $240 printer. Just seems… not balanced. However I’ve ordered my first bambu printer, the P1S and now… I want the redo with the diamond back. I wonder how I can get revo on the SV06…..
Bingo. That’s the idea. I wonder if the SV06 will fit the Revo Six. It should, honestly. If not you could easily model and adapt some kind of printed part to make it work
I personally would like to see a video or two devoted to the Sovol SV06 plus upgrades. I have upgraded the part cooling fan. I have also purchased Sovol's Klipper pad but yet to install it. There really isn't much out there on their Klipper pad so it would be nice to see what additional upgrades could be added. I am thinking of adding the Switch wire Magprobe but don't know if it will work. I am also looking at the Enraged Rabbit Carrot Feeder to add multi material. Thanks for all your content and stay safe.
honestly bambu lab printers are the first 3d printers id rather leave stock (obviously excluding 3d printed mods like a fan muffler etc) then upgrade it...they're fantastic stock and Ive found they acutally have more issues when you start tinkering and upgrading them like the typical ender series printer. I changed the hot end shroud out for an after market one and ive had more failed prints with it... the only thing im hoping one day will be possible is upgrading the stock camera because the P1S camera is horrendous and the X1 isnt much better.
The bambus printers not really needs all this upgrade - the printer good at it is out of the box no need extra money to spend besides the filament - it’s not a voron
I would like to volunteer as a diver to help clean up some places in the ocean well, as soon as there stabilized, I would love to do that fly somewhere in the ocean
Revo Diamondback??!? So I gave up on Diamondback fitting my next printer out of the box because they seemed to never support the printers I was considering, so I focused on everything else and figured hardened steel was the best I would get...So revo. I had already made up my mind on the x1c with ams, I'll add a Revo to the list. That checks the last box for my fdm printer.
I saw you used Blender to make a trashcan in one of your videos. I made something in blender way before I thought about getting a 3d printer. I just bought a used one of fb marketplace and want to turn my blender project into a real life item. Is it possible for you take make a video how to create something in blender and then 3d print it? Im new to blender and never 3d printed before im sure itll not be fun lol.
The options on the BTT site are kind of misleading. Do we need just the panda revo hotend or the "conversion kit" as well? Side note, given the fact you can use your phone or tablet with Bambu Handy, is there really any benefit of the touch screen?
That Panda touch looked interesting but from reading the spec it seems very badly implemented. I'd want something to replace the existing P1S screen, not sit above it as a proxy remote api.
One thing that might be worth making a video of would be upgrades especially of the 3d printing kind for the Bambu Lab A1 Mini, I know personally I've tried the Ultimate Filament Spool Enclosure 封箱 for AMS Lite to try and have PETG work and have been curious but as a new user a bit cautious about the idea of printing stuff like the A1 Mini All-in-One Organizer. Since as an adult child I want to decrease hobby space when unneeded, but also don't want to waste filament.
NOT TO BUY It would be good that you comment that there is no technical service and that with a new printer I am unable to print with an open incident for 6 days and no one gets in touch and there is no other way to get in touch, do not answer in networks, in mails, in the support service .... when the service of other printers like Creality respond instantly. Very disappointed, I do not recommend at all to buy until they are ready.
I can appreciate your eco concerns, The waste created by color switches can be significant. Can we find someone who recycles the filament into something useful? I'd spend a couple bucks to send our filapoop somewhere to be turned into recycled filament that is used for supports (for example)
Disagree. People buy a Lamborghini and still upgrade it. Different people have different needs and the best products find a middle ground that suits the average user. But if you’re not the average user, for example, you have 10 printers and you want the same nozzle on all of them, that’s where customization comes into play.
Just subscribed your channel and thank you for your videos! I have SeeMeCNC Rostock II (upgraded from original Rostock that I purchased in 2013) and Creality Ender 5 Plus. I'm gonna sell my Rostock printer and so I started looking into my next printer. I like the Bambu printers with AMS bundle. But I hear that there are so many changes and I like to have a reliable printer with longevity! I do not plan to buy every couple of years another new printer. If you had to buy Bambu printer with AMS, what model would you buy? I also love that I can change the filament above the printer, rather than turning the printer to get to the filament! I do not need the color option, but it would be nice to have that option! My grand kids love when I add at least one color to some of the toys I've printed and now I can have up to 4 colors, that is nice. Is there a newer model in 2024 that I should hold for? I do not need the printer today, I can hold on for several month. I'm planning to get the printer sometimes in July or later. Again, Thank you for your help!
Not sure if you're watching for replies, but I've been in this since 2015. I got an X1C just as they were coming out of Kickstarter and it easily blew away printers in the $3K range at that point. There's more competition now, but they're still the "go to" for a plug and play. The P1P is the cheaper option if you're up to doing some addons yourself, and there's a LOT of free or cheap ones that make it rival the X1C. The X1C if you're planning on doing high temp "engineering" type filaments like ABS and Polycarbonate for things like 'no' melt car accessories or heat exposed items. Otherwise, for "general" use, get the P1P and the Big Tree Tech Panda Touch screen for a plug and go setup. The AMS is A-MAZ-ING! Even without doing multicolor prints having 4 rolls ready to go instantly is a complete game changer! It's truly a "must have". Cheers!
xtouch requires 0 soldering or programming. literally download a file , put it on an sd card , plug it in and youre good...oh , and it only cost around 12 bucks.
Ahh yes the bambu noise canceling firmware. I updated it before they were challenged by the x1 plus firmware. There was no motor noise calibration setting and it cause a few errors and a bed plate localization error for every. Single. Print. I immediately rolled it back and the errors disappeared. I really wish they would test these updates more, as they seem more like and "open beta" version than a full release.
FYI cache is pronounced cash, there's no accent on the e. Cashet, which is pronounced cashay is completely different and means prestige or an official seal.
I was checking that CFRP plate from FYSETC just 2 hours ago and it costs Ludicrous compared to the Bambu's, and even other custom plate competitors. With ludicrous I mean 166% obv, to say like 52€ instead of 30. And you're tellin me it doesn't even stick. 🤔I'm kinda confused from all the accessories I see out there, so THANKS for your content! I think I'll keep staring from a side for another while before buying stuff. The best for Bambu's has yet to come you said and, for example, I was having trouble understanding their nozzle/hotend system in order to (so I understood) have a full hotend assembly for each nozzle diameter, if I want to quickswap. Well, I was right: Probably those Panda's are going to be harder better and faster to swap than the original system. So thanks again!
Great video, thanks for that. Do you have the link to the awesome spidey I saw there (@ 10:08). Been looking for one like that, but can't seem to find it.
i managed to get the overhang test almost perfect... All fans on 100 and door open + adaptive layer hight 0,08 on overhangs + overhang speed all set to 5... also it depends on the fillament...original orange works good , original greeen and mate black are both not so good...but still its a pita to setup... for example i have a figure with a hat there is no way to get the hat visor to print correctly without printing it seperatly...
To be fair with firmware updates the x1c touch screen is perfectly fine. But that p1p one is horrendous so i guess its perfect upgrade for that. And i have also not had any issue with bambus build plates. Not had a single adhesion issue. Now i would love to change the fan but im not confident enough for that unfortunately.
keep the videos coming. I'm enjoying the content. I've had an ender 3 Pro I bought about 2 years ago. I'm looking at upgrading to a P1S or maybe a K1 Max what would you recommend?
@thenextlayer You have mention about someone (I could not understand from pronunciation) developing magnetically attached led strip. Can you add link to their product page or maybe other type of link where I can stay tunes for updates?
Let's hope bambu supports you better than most of his other customers... I am waiting since three weeks for a final solution. I have the problem that the printer always says the front cover fell off...
In my 20+ years working in IT I've never heard anyone prenounce Cache as "Cashay" LOL. Its "Cash". Always a first for everyone at some point in their lives I get it lol.
sadly there will be no peace between those two until Muslims put their guns down... and they wont, so Israel needs to make Muslims to put the guns down. If Israel did that, there would be no Israel
Buy a $1000 printer, then upgrade it. I don't understand that. If I'm going to pay $1000 for a printer, it should not need or I shouldn't feel the need to upgrade it.
Right now in the UK the P1P I can get for £549.00 (I have seen for £457), The A1 with AMS is £509. I'm torn on which to purchase, this is my first 3D Printer. Agree I lose the colour option with the P1P, but I can add that at a later date with the AMS, but which is the better for first time and value for money. Bed Slingers (A1) or XY (P1P)?
The problem of p1p is not a touchscreen. It is that unusable slow ESP32 doing wifi communication. the one that causes that you can't really stream video but a slideshow. Touchscreen doesn't solve the biggest problem of p1 machines. Unfortunately.
@@thenextlayeragreed I just need a snapshot of my print every 5 minutes to see if its failed. But the stock interface is so annoying. I always go for my phone instead
@@greglogan4443He has a video on air quality. Short version: not enough, but neither is any other "stick it in the enclosure" filter, if you actually care about the air quality in your working space. It does help though.
Just to update. I ran some esun abs+ with no issues on my p1s. Used the profile from the esun website. Stinks a bit, but kept the room door closed and opened the window when the print was finished. Would NOT be in the room at the same time/during
I'm really interested in the Revo system, especially with the idea of being able to add a DiamondBack nozzle to it. Expensive, but an upgrade that will last forever. I've been wanting a DiamondBack nozzle for Bambu ever since I saw VoidStar Lab's factory video.
I've ordered two. Since I've upgraded the hotend on my Prusa Mini to a Revo Micro, I am changing the nozzle quite frequently depending on the application.
