Hey, I just got that same exact build plate (the diamond and "carbon fiber" pattern) for my A1 but im having a ton of trouble with it. Are your prints good with it? For me, adhesion was a problem, but I bumped the bed temp to 95c and its good. But I cant get the pattern to transfer good. There's always visible lines and imperfections. Any suggestions and/or what you did with yours?
@How2Texan9 күн бұрын
@reflexgaming342 95c? What filament are you printing? It sounds like you may be using ABS. The CF side of the buildplate is PEO, and PEO is only really good for PLA, TPU, and PETG. Good news, though, PEO should be able to withstand 120c temps so your buildplate was not damaged by the 95c temps. That said, there are normally only two reasons why a filament is not recommended for a buildplate. The first reason is that a material does not stick or does not stick well. The second reason is that the material sticks too good and can damage the plate when removing parts. I do not know which ABS falls into for PEO. Buildplates can be a tricky subject. You need the right buildplate for the job you are doing, and sometimes, even though a buildplate is recommended for a particular material, it will not be the best choice for the model you are printing. Hope this helps, please let me know if you need more help.
@reflexgaming3429 күн бұрын
@How2Texan I am using PETG. I usually use 80c on the stock A1 plate and it works good with a bit of glue stick for adhesion. But I didn't want to use an adherent for this plate, so I put it to 95c. And what about the pattern? Are you getting smooth, consistent pattern transfer without visible lines and imperfections? I'm also going to be selling some prints, so I need the bottom pattern to be almost flawless.

Holy shit man, I'm absolutely blown away, just got my a1 today and during my setup calibrations it was doing the vibration test and the servos were so loud. I legit had the thought that it sort of sounded like a sick baseline. I thought to myself this could be music but i had no idea if you could control the servos independently. But you went and made it reality( with one of my favorite games and their best song too!) You are awesome man, completely made my day!

@Radman560 thanks so much. But i can't take all the credit. Bambu setup the software for producing the gcode from midi and someone else produced the midi for sea shanty. All i did was pair it down so that could be played on 3 servos. And it is a great game and it is their best song :)

@bigboldspiders8321 the machine does it automatically. If you are having issues with your bambu then there are a few things to check. Make sure your bed is sitting flat and nothing is under it. If you are still having issues you may need manually tram your bed. Bambu has a good guide on this. If you still have problems you may need to open a support ticket. Hope this helps

Thank you for your video helped me a lot… I also have a question is OK to go in Ludacris speed all the time or is it bad? I know it reduces print quality, but will it also break the a1? Thank you ❤
@How2Texan21 күн бұрын
@PRD_Productions thank you forntlyour compliment. That is a good question. I do not know anyone who does ludicrous speed all time. That said i think we can make a few assumptions. First i do not think it will break the machine otherwise bambu would not have included it as an option. If they thought it would break the machine then including it would have set them up for allot of warranty problems. The second thing we can assume is that like any tool or machine using it at its maximum capability will cause it to wear down exponentially faster. This means you may have to do maintenance more often and replace parts much sooner. You may even wear out motors much more rapidly. I personally only increase the speed once in a while when i am on a time crunch. Hope this answer is helpful. Please consider subscribing if you haven't already

When I was in the service, one of the regular repair jobs was soldering amphenol connectors onto the end of 25 pair 20 gauge cable. For the longest time I wanted a kit that ran a ground lead for each conductor, with a bulb on each end, set up so that the only way that the bulbs would come on was if the correct wire was soldered to the correct pin. The only problem was that all too often you were replacing both ends. Soldiers in the field had a propensity for yanking both ends enough that just under half of the wires broke on both ends, and the stress was enough that it was likely that one broke in the middle too. And those cables, connected multiplexing vans to phone switching vans. The less difficult repairs were the BNC cable end replacements that connected the multiplexing vans to the radio vans. Those were almost always coax, not bi-ax. But there was some of that too.

Do you think it is worth to buy Bambu X1C Combo Today? I never had a Bambu before. I have only Prusa printers but they're MK3S+. I want to try Bambu but I also want it to be fully featured. I don't think I need the X1E version but X1C is appealing to me. So would it be a good choice or would you suggest me to check maybe Prusa MK4+ or anything else?
@How2TexanАй бұрын
@kaanaslan_tr so i have had printers from many brands. Some that are new some old and some that dont exist anymore. Bambu is the new kid on the block while prusa is the OG of reliabilty. I don't own an mk3 or mk4 but i do have a prusa xl 5 tool head machine. This was an expensive machine as i am sure you are aware. So far, i am not exactly loving my prusa xl. Dont get me wrong, every printwr has problems now and again. Every brand also produces a lemon once and a whole so maybe i have a lemon. But my experience to date says that bambu is the way to go. If i were in your shoes, i wouldn't even think twice about it. My bambu printers have been the fastest, easiest, and most reliable printers i have ever used. Even the bambu studio slicer is in my opinion so much easier and more intuitive than prusa slicer which is weired because bambu studio was forked from prusa slicer. Also, other than the prusa xl, prusa has failed to make a reliable multi color system. I have never used prusa's mmu but if i look at reviews online most people are not happy with it. If you are really nervous about switch brands then buy an bambu a1 mini just to test the water. I think once you see the mini in action you will know whether the x1c right for you.

@Pilotbro11 if your sure it is a bed Leveling problem and the automatic Leveling is not fixing it then you need to look up how to "manually tram" your a1 mini bed. Bambu has a good guide. Essentially your bed may be to far out of alignment to be corrected with auto bed Leveling. Tramming your bed should fix this. Before you tram double check that your buildplate is sitting correctly and there isn't anything under the build plate.

@michaelstraughn3465 i haven't used the p1s for those materials. Spec wise the p1s should be able to do it but the x1c can reach higher bed temps which means higher chamber temps which can help with engineering materials like this. Also every material is a little differect and some day you might find you need the extra bed temperature for a material. In general, the p1s should get the job done, but if you have the money, i would get an x1c.
