The 3D Printing Thread

I don't think this is a concern for the P-series but I've been noticing that my estimates are really off when I start long prints. Like for instance that mask I printed last week took 3 days but the original estimate was 3.5. Not something I super notice for my normal 4-6 hour prints.

Apparently Bambu baked timelapse camera movements into the G-code (where it moves to the docking position after every layer). Turning it off on an A-series printer removes the actual movement to that corner but the code is still in the G-code during the slicing process before that so it works its way into the estimate. It makes everything go 17% faster than the estimate when it's off thus taking time off print time every single layer (but, uh, not really? It's just a bad estimate.)

Just found that interesting. It almost seems like something they did on purpose (because every print comes off faster than the original estimate).

Very aggressive pricing on the non-laser models IMHO. Interested to see how the fuck they think that's worth $600 or how the hardware is different other than the laser. That info might be out there right now I just saw this image.

Their full announcement. There's a video on there too (these guys have to have the same marketing team as Nintendo. The video has big Switch vibes). I'm sure these will be all over YouTube later today with impressions and reviews (they're already out there in the wild).

That's interesting there's no "E" equivalent unit like the X1E. Maybe that's another revision down the line.
 
I don't have time to watch this right now but CNC Kitchen should have a good summary of all the features of the new printer and AMS units.

 
Someone let me know the official wiki is up. I'm sure all the burning (pun) questions your guys have are in there rcubed

As far as the laser goes there are pictures of a machine after 40 hours of use

Apparently these things are shipping so it makes sense that's all done already.

I got a chance to actually watch the video above and texted with a buddy who also does printing as a hobby over on the Creality side (K2 Plus).

IMHO the $1899 version looks great. It looks completely turnkey and they answered my question-you don't need an AMS for 2 color printing. It has two spool holders I bet it prints fantasticly too.

That said it's still too much bread without an AMS and (for no physical reason at all) you can't use an AMS Lite brought from an A1 series. Old AMS 1s do work though (so you can easily do 8 color if you have one already or buy the non-Combo).

The lasers are dumb. You will need to clean that machine constantly. Avoid. Buy a laser machine like an X-Tool.

Anyone else notice what’s missing completely?

LiDAR.

Why the heck were people buying X series over P again? I feel like that was parroted for 3 years as a killer feature.

The LiDAR only works about half the time with the X1E we have at work. And you have to clean the lens for it often. Needs a lot of improvement. The laser cutter is going to mean cleaning the machine every time including all the camera lenses. Unless their filtration system works very well (doubt it).

I was going to get an AMS Lite until I saw it was not compatible with the P1S.

I think I showed a pic here ages ago but I was able to attach it to my peg board of my workbench with a 3D print. I think it's a great product that I love because it's dirt simple. No frills. But it does the job perfectly.
 
Interesting so if you use Dual AMS on H2D you can use the same filament in 2 AMS and do 4 color total across 8 total spools and it allows printing across that 5cm you lose in the Y axis. Same brand same type filament.

Makes sense because the whole thing was a reach issue.

It fixes the size problem with light application of cash.

Consumer manufacturers are going to say “oh shit” because that means a bunch of people are now going to care about multi spool color accuracy which frankly kinda sucks.

I have to buy bulk so they match on big projects unless it’s a premium brand like Panachroma or Prusament where you pay for it as a feature right now.

0.6mm hotend, 0.24 lheight, Polymaker Polychroma Wood Gradient is the main color.

I can’t decide if they look cute or scary. Women find this stuff cute apparently.
