Review video PART 2: Bambu Lab X1 In-Depth Review, Pros and Cons, multiple colors, carbon fiber Nylon, Polycarbonate
• Bambu Lab X1 In-Depth ...
Welcome back to Aurora Tech Channel. Today, I am super excited to review a 3D printer that is a few generations ahead of any printer in the market, the Bambu Lab X1. It’s going to blow every printer between $500-$5000 away, including my favorite Prusa and the gold standard of desktop Ultimaker 3D printers.
Bambu Lab first contacted me back in March. They are a new tech company, and the founder Dr. Tao was from DJI and led the development of Mavic Pro. They invited me to review their first 3D printer, which Dr. Tao and his team have been working on since 2020.
As I can imagine, when they were working on drones, they must have used a lot of 3D printing for prototyping. So, we can expect to see a 3D printer made by a group of former DJI engineers who also know 3D printing pretty well.
So, let’s do a quick look at what blow-away features this machine has...

The fact that you have this printer for review shows us that the industry takes you serious. Congratulation Aurora and Helios. Your eyes sparkle during this review which shows us your honest excitement. And it seems to be a breakthrough piece of technology, a serious milestone. Unlike many others you show us the advantage of the closed design and print not just PLA but also ABS. Great move. Your video is again well researched, exceptionally well executed and as always fun to watch (no bloopers!, grrr). Fan-Tas-Tic. I will wait for your in depth review but will keep my Prusa XL order up as I think (hope) that Josef Prusa will come up with an adequate version of his Linear Advance. And did not Josef Prusa start that anyway? Thank you for showing us "the death of 3D printing" and the rise of the new 3D printing era

[@Kalvinjj]

I feel like ABS has turned into an unwanted thing of the past for so many "makers" out there, that would always just print with PLA or at most PETG, as if those two solved every problem in the world. Oh you need some high temperature material that can withstand impacts and almost doesn't creep? Use this 5x priced PLA blend that doesn't match all properties but you can change your part to suit it or you don't really need it all! ABS is still very useful and I'm glad there's people still thinking about using it.

[@aps3000miki]

@@Kalvinjj, I agree, the moment you have a printer that can print ABS, PC, Nylon and ASA without cracking and warping you have found the printer that can do so much more than decorative objects. Explore ultra lightweight filaments, use the power of CF and GF filaments and 3D printing can become a lot of creative fun.

[@JP-xd6fm]

@@Kalvinjj Printing ABS at home is not a good idea, is toxic as hell.

[@Kalvinjj]

@@JP-xd6fm That's an extremely overblown misconception. Burning it sure is, but the particle amount from reaching glass transition is far lower, much less at the grams per hour extrusion rates of home printing. It would be a problem at factory levels of injection molding, or maybe a print farm.

[@omittedprod]

@@Kalvinjj Petg definitely solved a lot of the problems that abs had when it was a new filament and printing was new

[@MakerMeraki]

There have been more than a few channels covering the X1, but this is the absolute best video so far! I'm getting one!

[@LisaHarsh]

I’m so glad you got this as well. I am backing this after seeing modbot’s video and livestream for this. Honestly the fact that the printer is already a finished product and they are mostly working on firmware and software it is worth getting

[@Jokemeister1]

First time I've watched one of your videos and I must say you impressed me. You also had the decency to asked for like and subscribe at the end AFTER it had been earned. Well done and I did exactly that. Looking forward to seeing what else you have on your channel.

[@robbrown6667]

Another great, informative, and professional video. I hope that Bambu Labs takes in all the input from you and other KZbinrs. In particular, is all the negative comments about the amount of waste this machine creates when using multiple colors. We would love to see another review on this as it enters production and the improvements that will be made.

[@DennisVris]

Hey Aurora, great video as always! I have been eyeballing this printer for a few weeks. One question: Did you not use the vibration compensation? There is a lot of ringing in the prints that you displayed, and I saw 'vibration compensation' turned off on the display.

[@Blizzard4242]

That's probably the most complete summary I've seen in a short video in KZbin, great job, you managed to pack in more information as I've seen in videos that are hours long. A small word of advice: LIDAR is pronounced differently, it's pronounced in a similar way as the word "Radar" is, but with the prefix "LI", so like two separate words: LAI - DAR. Just a quick heads up as at first I didn't understand what you meant but then with some context I started to understand.

[@EngineerTom]

Hey, I'm glad you commented on that! The captions showed "litter" and I wasn't sure what that was, but now I know. This kid (and her brother - BIG THANK YOU to her brother!) definitely knows her equipment and does a fantastic job on her videos. Holy smokes.

[@3DPI67]

This is insane! this one makes all the other companies look prehistoric, I hope this printer will mark new standards for consumer 3dprinting.

[@tweekFPV]

Next level for sure, very nice. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@ricardo-iw9sq]

Holy hell that looks good, once it's out on main sale they need to keep the prices low and by that they will blow away the the "pro market" machines because if I was going to pay 600 to 800 for a machine and this goes for 1000 then it's a no brainer. But and here's the but, what will these be like for maintenance, why aren't more printers coming out with screws in stead of belts for the movement, if it's down to speed they say if a top speed of belt is 500 and screws are 400 who cares because obviously the boards tec are getting better in that it's scanning for optimisation. You will need a mahoosive factory soon to house that print farm 👏👍👍🤭

[@GeneralChangFromDanang]

Personally, I think belts are smoother. I had a printer with screws on every axis and you just could not get a decent print out of it. There was always some kind of vibration from the screw that would translate to the print.

[@andrewdo8192]

This is probably the best video I've seen about the bambu. Lol at throwing shade at thr ankermake, I felt like I was taking crazy pills looking between the two.

What happens when you need to replace the nozzle? Can you use different sizes of nozzle? Also what about clogs or failures of hardware? This printer is ahead of its time. It will be neat to see how it does long term.

[@AndrewAHayes]

I have seen multiple reviews on this machine but was so happy to see that you got one to review as you tend to look at areas that other reviewers miss. I dont do Kickstarter as I believe it is gambling and that is something I will never do. I have my money down for a Prusa XL,however, I will weigh up the situation when the XL is launched, It may be the case that I will recover my money from Prusa and buy a retail Carbon X1, I will however wait until the community has used this machine and found any faults or niggles that may be present. I was wondering whether Bamboo Labs will make their tech Open Source or at least licence it although if they keep it in house I can also understand that choice I am looking forward to the next instalations of this review series as this machine is a game changer.

[@revoltoff]

Get this when it comes out, the Prusa is done for, you have to keep in mind Prusa is really the most overpriced. Don't give them your money let them bleed.

[@AndrewAHayes]

@@revoltoff Prusa have 1st class QC 1st class manual and 24 hour customer service experts that can solve any problem quickly, constant improvements to the printer and firmware and slicer I am happy paying for this service!

@@AndrewAHayes No in my experience. Like everyone I went for Prusa as my first printer thinking Im paying for quality and printer that "just prints". Two year later and countless troubleshooting this printer still wont print anything and support did help me at all.

Great review, will you be doing one for the bambu P1s?

[@rescuemethod]

Dual extrusion gears or one? With the enclosed area getting up to 59C which filaments can this printer NOT print well? How does the multiple material handler work? Does it splice like the mosaic or is there a waste tower? Does the company say anything about this being future upgradable - as in adding active heating? Does slowing down the print speed have a significant affect on part quality for strength or aesthetics? Does that AMS box also remove humidity? My main focus is ASA, Nylon and CF Nylon

[@ThePrintMint]

Just to clarify at 5:22 where she mentions the ABL it is not auto bed tramming just the sensors doing a mesh bed leveling compensation.

[@gkmq6411]

Hi thanks again for bringing us some outstanding videos, I do think this is one of the best 3D printer to date by far. (?) how do connect and configure a second Extruder on SOVOL SV01 V2.2.1 board?

[@twincast2005]

The only thing that troubles me are the hotends, or more accurately the nozzles. And I enjoy tinkering with firmware, so that's a bit of a bummer, too. Glad that slicing is open in both directions. Anyway, yes, it has almost every reasonably common feature, some fairly unique ones, and apparently phenomenal performance. All at a fantastic value even at MSRP, let alone at early-bird. I almost hope they don't have an EU warehouse, so I don't get tempted. (Can't find anywhere even addressing this question.) I really, really want this. And I really, really want them to be successful. That said, since it does lack some popular features, I wouldn't say that it beats every machine in the price range you mentioned (for every use case). The AMS sounds great, but such filament changers, IDEX (or more), and toolchangers all have their own pros and cons (a combination of all of these would be perfect, but very expensive and complex a physical setup). I've personally never really needed more than a mid-sized build volume like it has, but still, a large desktop build volume isn't always just for bragging rights, particularly for functional parts. Speaking of usually just to brag, but at times required, a 500°C hotend (for PPSU, PEI, PEEK, PEKK, and probably other industrial materials) is ironically the one feature I could see them providing an upgrade kit for.

[@drewpd7]

Did you print any PETG? Any significant time savings since it usually needs to go slow?

[@diazo5679]

As always great video, great review. But with all the bugs not yet worked out of this machine it seems like it would be best to wait until later reviews come out. Looks like a top notch company really trying hard.

[@OscarOliu]

[@Dave-ni4vg]

Do you still have this printer? I put a pre order for prusa xl but it’s not going to be shipped till 2023 would you still recommend this printer over the prusa xl? Or should is it worth getting as a second printer? Any issues with build quality customer service? Some people say they don’t respond to your emails etc I know prusa customer service is suppose to be top notch

[@GaminSnake]

But can it be moded so it can clear the print bed and move on to the next the automatically? 🤔🤔🤔

[@JB-NZ]

So you were printing directly on to their build sheets (the stick on sheets to the removable build plate), without using Gluestick, right? They seem to include a gluestick in the Kickstarter, but its really unclear if you use that with the build sheets, or if you use that on the removable plate directly. Can you help explain this a bit more?

[@limebulls]

What do you recommend as a first 3d printer? Prusa MK3S+ or BambooLab X1 or BambooLab X1 Carbon?

[@sonichedgehog36]

Game changer printer. For years, the ~$1000 DIY printers seemed to be the only way to see a convergence of both fast and quality. This blows VzBot, Voron, Ratrig, and all the rest out of the water. 20K mm/s^2 acceleration is the full speed/acceleration setting that Tom Sanladerer’s Voron V2.4 struggled at in his popular Voron V2.4 summary video last year. There he noted skipped steps which prompted him to run at half that in normal daily usage. Yet now here we are finally seeing 20K mm/s^2 in a consumer-first product priced less than a Voron V2.4 with the same accessories (and more) with higher quality and better, consumer friendly ease of use. I predict this product will mark a radical sea change in the DIY community as people move from building DIY printers to buying ready-to-run consumer ones like this. Gone are the days of endless fiddling and tuning of Voron, VzBot and others as the age of the consumer-friendly 3D printer has finally begun.

[@bowieinc]

This has made me reconsider my Prusa XL PreOrder. I’d love for you to do a comparison.

[@karoo_bushman6880]

PrusaXL with its toolchanger is a different beast for multicolor.. with this X1 AMS you waste about the same amount of filament on changing as you use for the print.. so 300g print gives about 300g waste, and because you need to purge, you spend around 2x the time on changing color than on printing, so get ready for veeeery long print times. With the PrusaXL it's really made for multicolor/material. Almost zero waste and very fast changing. Printing on PrusaXL is much slower though than this X1, and there is no vibration compensation.. so total print time could still be quite similar, but just with less waste on XL. XL can however also print with different nozzle sizes.. so you could maybe print faster with thicker infills. But X1 is geared for enclosure printing, so if you plan in doing a lot of functional parts with PA or ABS, definitely the X1 will be better, also with smaller build area, faster warming up of enclosure and higher environment temps.

[@twincast2005]

@@karoo_bushman6880 Well, there will be an official enclosure upgrade for the Prusa XL. (Not to be confused with the simple shroud upgrade, which they've shown a bit, but can't be preordered yet, either.) Probably with the same impressive list of features as the one recently revealed for the MK3S (and its predecessors). Maybe a couple more, who knows? Basically it's a case of lower price, higher print speeds, and (optionally) extra strong cooling for the first few layers vs. larger build volume, more versatility (variable nozzle sizes and other tool heads), and less waste per filament change. They both have their place.

[@bowieinc]

@@karoo_bushman6880 You bring up some excellent points. I did get a Bambu pre ordered today, What a nightmare, took me 35 mins of kickstarter freezing and I was not able to get the early bird even though I had everything ready when it opened. Even set up a second account in my wife name for double the click changes. Hopefully I will actually get hands on with X1 before making final decision to cancel Prusa preorder. I could roll the dice on reselling Prusa as I do have a fairly early pre order. If I made an attempt to keep both, my first print would have to be a dog house for me to live in.lol

[@kontraproduktiv933]

Regarding the risk of online sales, buying from trusted online shop reduces risks of not getting your items greatly and gives you leverage if this happens. Meanwhile the risk of Kickstarter are much greater and are made much more aware due to media. But i bet after waiting for a year or 2 this printer will go on sale for comparable prices to the kickstarter prices. So either take a risk now, or don't be on the bleeding edge and wait a year or 2. Waiting also means more mature Software, perhaps even integration of all features in Cura/SuperSlicer. Also we don't know the reliability of the LIDAR Sensors, could be that they have a MTBF of 6 Months or not, so question would be how expensive would be replacement parts and how easy/difficult it would be to install these replacements.

[@paulcooper9675]

Amazing printer. Now the tough question. I work with and use several Ultimakers, and was not pleased to hear about the Stratasys acquisition. But for this system to be a viable replacement, it needs to handle support material for complex prototyping. Were you able to do that, with breakable or dissolvable filament?

[@Repomam2000]

The Kickstart lists both.

[@rosylives]

Hi, newbie to the 3D printing world here 👋. Thanks for your informative and “straight to the point” videos. You mention that this Bambu x1 carbon is the best printer under 5000$. I wonder, do you still think that way after having tried the Qidi i fast?

I see this printer getting a lot of good reviews all over KZbin, will the multi-filament attachment cost extra? Is the build volume big enough to build a cosplay helmet?

The AMS is an addon that costs extra, and the build volume is a 256mm cube. Not the largest build plate, but you can easily print the helmet in segments and still have it printed way faster than with other printers.
