Product Feature: Bambu Lab X1E 3D Printer

[@RichardSlates235]

I just got the X1E and am happy with the machine itself. There are 2 areas where the customer experience could be improved. The first is that I cannot get the discount “club” pricing on Bambu filament because it requires a code that you can only get if the machine is purchased from Bambu directly … the X1E requires purchasing through a reseller. The second is that tech support needs to go thru the reseller as well so you can’t go straight to Bambu on their tech support system. I tried my reseller’s tech support on 2 different issues and they did not even return my calls. Fortunately the self help ecosystem with Bambu is phenomenal and I could address on my own issue. I should note that my reseller was not this channel’s sponsor and was based out of Los Angeles since they were my closest vendor.

Why do you need to purchase from a reseller?

[@harsimran1]

@@endostatica1405 X1E is only exclusively available from resellers due to the support available for local customers that Bambu Labs themselves cannot provide.

after doing a firmware update I was able to get the lan only mode working, this should have worked with the shipped firmware version, so needed to be online with an account at least once to get the update to work off the internet, not sure why you can't start a print from bambu studio of a print stored on the SD card in lan only mode, maybe another firmware update and that will be fixed.

Thanks for the video. I'm wondering about a few things, how is Bambu doing with data security when printing, I've heard that users are getting connected to other printers' cameras, their creations are appearing on different servers. I've also heard that Bambu has a problem with huge waste material when printing from multiple colors, and long print times for more complex projects. Maybe it's not true, but considering the country Bambu comes from and the fact that the whole company is shrouded in secrecy, I have no confidence. I would compare it to a car that has a beautiful hood but inside there is an engine that you can't rely on.

[@Duckwithapartyhat]

It has a lot of waste I have no clue about the security and I’m 300 print hours in and nothing major yet

Does that chute cover up the Ethernet port? If so, what’s the point?

[@Skott62]

That's a good point and a good question. I'm guessing you can get a chute design that wont block the Ethernet port?

[@nickmasterson942]

It’s actually a core XY printer is it not? A Cartesian would be like an ender 3 or a Prussia?

[@GatlingNG]

Both bed slingers such as Ender 3, Prusa and CoreXY printers like the Voron or Bambu X1 are Cartesian. They use X, Y, Z (Cartesian coordinate system) to determine the movements of mechanical parts: the print head and the bed move according to the coordinates. A different type of commercial kinematics system are Delta printers such as the Flsun S1.

Same size print area? Not interested

[@nahtanoj92]

Small printing area

I hate the amount of info they send in the log files.

Make a printer with a bigger bed size

[@TerryOvsak]

this printer does not work fully without the internet as I was lead to believe, the camera, file transfer or control via network still needs the internet so spending the extra $1000 to have it work fully without the internet, which is does not, is a waste of money

[@e-dizzy]

You don't do a great job of saying the differences between the X1C and the X1E. Unless the only difference is the wifi, ethernet features and the color.

[@hectorplaza2980]

only differences are 20 degrees on the hotend, chamber heater, physical wifi and ethernet switches, ethernet port, and enterprise level security protocols. Nothing more than that.

[@xaraphyn]

@@hectorplaza2980 You forgot the colour ... ;)

[@BigBrain-ks8js]

@@xaraphynthat sounds like a scam

[@kyorising]

Why is every X1E video so absolutely awful at telling me the difference between the X1C and E? You don’t mention a heated chamber until 15 minutes in?? When asked directly about differences you went with “it’s a slightly different color” until waaaay later in the video. You also don’t bother to mention the other differences that I only find from reading articles elsewhere.

[@FuturistFoundry]

I’m sorry for your terrible attention span.
