I love how your sponsored vpn segment covered the only actual legitimate use of vpn providers rather than the usual false privacy claims they advertise.

[@BeefIngot]

Thoughts on this video (I too own one of these but gave them a chunk out of my wallet): 1. About the Corexy explanation at the start of the video, Im sure you wanted to keep it simple, but I will just note that there are other types of printers which arent CoreXY where the head moves in the x and y. Things like H-Bots, Deltas, and Cartesians even. Something like the Ender 5 for instance, while it will be slightly faster than a bed slinger, will still drag around the X axis motor with the head making it significantly slower than a CoreXY or HBot design. Thats the real benefit here: Not dragging around a heavy stepper motor. Of course this isnt really a criticism, just adding information because I've seen a lot of people buy ender 5s thinking they were getting magically fast printers when they arent. 2. Whenever you do build the table mentioned, you want to make it really sturdy so that the resonance compensation gets the best values possible and you get the best speeds possible. The stiffer the platform, the better the results. This isnt Bambu specific this is also true for any printer that runs resonance compensation (in klipper this is called input shaper for instance). 3. I like this printer and it really is the future, and I actually feel like I got my moneys worth and recommend it but it is loud. A huge part of that is fast things make noise, and thats unavoidable, but it also doesnt have silent steppers. Its not like it is so loud that youll hear it in a different room ,but worth mentioning. I imagine they did this because they figured it'd be loud anyways and wanted to cost cut somewhat given that this thing has the performance of a voron for half the price. 4. There is a great video on the small channel 75echo about reducing waste with the AMS that might interest you. 5. At 9:40, a moment of silence for the horrible car centricity we have in most of North America. Straight up no place for actual people to cross. You're expected to just have a car. 6. About the price, I actually think it's cheaper than a prusa when you compare everything similar. The prusa fully assembled is 1099, the X1 is 999. Then at the lower end the kit is 799, but the Bambulab P1P is 699. Then you consider that at each price tier you are getting a lot more for your money and the mk3s starts looking quite dated/inline for a price decrease.

was about to comment this lmao

[@JesperMakes]

This is actually a very good video. I loved the race and the printer demo.

[@MorleyKert]

Thanks, Jesper!

[@MisterDeets]

They make a roughly 7mm or 1/4" thick silicone foam pad for heat transfer that you can order off Amazon for about $26. You can cut it to size and glue it to the feet of the Bambu. It should greatly reduce the noise without adding significant height or combustible materials in case something goes terribly wrong. I love that stuff.

[@EpicVideos2]

I purchased the A1 3D printer, and because of the black friday sale on right now, it was just $299. The print quality is perfect. The speed is the same as X1C, as in super fast especially with sport mode (which you should have tried!). The ease of use is amazing (wifi capabilities, auto bed leveling, filament failiure detection). And it has an incredible powerful slicer and maker world community. I can't recommend it enough for people who saw this video and were turned off by the price. You can get the AMS version for only $449, which I wish I had because the things you can make with it on maker world look so fun.

[@cadenc2360]

Fantastic Video as always Morley! It was so cool to see your family and how much they love and support your 3D printing. It was an awesome concept racing the printer, and I can't wait to see all the things you make with the Bamboo X1 Carbon; please make more videos on this printer as I have been debating buying one for a while and am on the fence. I want the MK3S+ or the Bamboo, and your videos are obviously perfect for the comparison! Thanks for all you do and your hard work on these videos. We absolutely love them!

[@LisaHarsh]

You will love this printer. Mine has been going non stop since I got it. Yes there are some fails, nothing is perfect. I’ve had to take apart the extruder to clear it once. But dange prints are nice and the fact I can print ABS without issues makes me happy. Also get a PEI textured sheet. The stickers are horrible. I went through three in four days. PETG ripped them. Bought mine off Aliexpress from energetic

[@AndrewSzeto]

love the urgency of the race! haha sooo good! also loved that audio change at the store! haha

[@TheJttv]

Try putting the printer on a thick NBR foam yoga mat. It might cut down on some of the noise. I have found that printers there are 3 sources of noise, the motors, the fans and the printer vibrating on the table. The mat helps the third. You can add sound dampening on the inside if you wanted too

[@thomasclaffey3363]

LET'S GO! Way to go bambu lab! Good looking out!

[@Linuxdirk]

THIS is what I call a modern 3D printer! I wonder if they will be able to reduce noise and vibration in the future.

[@Emily-fm7pt]

I feel like at a certain point we’re hitting physical limits, like there’s only so much you can do at those speeds to dampen vibration / noise

[@Effect2o]

I have been looking at the x1 Carbon for a while, and between you and itsboyinspace, Im SOLD on this printer! Time to save up and finally be cool like you all! 👊

[@kiliankoe]

The X1C is what got me into 3D printing, I've been watching your videos since getting it like two months ago. I'm so happy you got it as well! It's a fantastic machine. A few tips though: Print PLA with an open door or top cover, I've had two clogs thanks to heat creep when keeping it closed. Get the textured PEI sheet, it makes everything better and you won't have to use glue anymore. And lastly, modify the gcode in the filament profile to not turn on the exhaust fan for PLA. It's not necessary (especially when keeping the enclosure open) and it makes the printer soooo much quieter. Also, for those looking for something comparable but cheaper, BambuLab just announced the P1P, which is basically a scaled down version of the X1C that's more easily customized as well. And it costs around half of the X1C+AMS combo.

[@MorleyKert]

Awesome, thanks for the tips!

[@Esatsana]

Yes finally !!!!! You finally got it 🎉🎉🎉

[@LayerbyLayer-P1S]

great video i have the p1s the one like it but a little less niche

[@JoesWorkbench]

Great video, that printer looks awesome definitely a step above current printers 😍

[@gltovar]

As Bamboo gets more popular I do wish prominent community members would raise awareness for open source projects like the Voron. A lot of the progress we have today in 3d printing we owe to the amazing open source community surrounding FDM printing. The Carbon is a fantastic machine, especially for how pick up and play it is, but the more market share closed source machines with proprietary parts gain, the closer we inch towards the consumer grade MSLA resin printer market full off proprietary hardware, subscription software, encrypted slice files, and other practices that stifle open source benefits for the community.

[@MakewithJake]

Very true, but a machine like the Voron project is not very approachable by users not already familiar with 3D printing - much less mechanical builds at all. I think it is amazing what the open source community has created in the FDM and resin world, but it is somewhat inevitable that we will see more and more proprietary hardware that aims to reduce complexity in order accommodate the vast majority of non technical consumers.

[@Jokershadow696]

Speed is important but the most important part of any 3d printer is to be able to fix anything that is broken and/or replace nozzle etc, bambu labs printers lacking in that heavily. You almost need to buy new one if something stopped working. As soon their printers would be easy to maintance and even modular - they will conquer the 3d printing world.

[@EvilSpyBoy]

(I have 2 of them) Also Mum had a tool for her sewing machine that broke (the handle) so I made the part in Fusion360 and went through maybe a dozen iterations (its a small intricate part) ANYWAY I always think I should use parameters but always forget. This time I remembered your video where you were doing it as you went and I actually remembered this time.... just have to improve my naming convention

[@AndrewHelgeCox]

You might want to keep it on a concrete block resting on rubber/dense foam. Should damp some of the vibrations.

[@marsgizmo]

great choice in the X1 Carbon! 👏😎

[@jeremyspecce]

I guess you could also say if you were comparing apples to apples you'd also have to include the file loading time and designing or downloading time, etc. That being said, it looks like a real step up with a lot of great features right out of the box, and because i've been considering upgrading to a Prusa eventually, this is now a serious contender, whereas before it was really just one choice.

[@RobNisters]

There is a GitHub pace that creates a printer profile that only prints the front purge line, saving more time ( I damaged the right-back cornw of my cool plate sticler, so removing the back right purge line became a struggle) And you could have used the "sports" or "ludicrous" printing mode to gain more time

[@odj310388]

Love this video, such a great idea for how to show the speed with a real world example. I've had a X1C for a while now as I was an early kickstarter backer. I use the bed levelling on every print as found the z height seems to vary every so slightly and sometimes hurt bed adhesion on the first layer if you don't have it enabled. But flow calibration? Never use it now as I don't think its worth the extra time at the start.

[@kiliankoe]

I like using the flow calibration when printing random different filaments with the generic profiles. But for those filaments I print a lot with I have separate profiles saved where I manually set the flow ratio after some tests, running the calibration on that probably won't help much.

[@BrighamCooper]

Love my Bambu. Though I would honestly look at getting their pei plate. The cool plate sticks super well but I still prefer the way pei releases

[@LilApe]

For those who actually want a bambu, don't waste your money on the X1. It's like a $300 markup over their new model just for the lidar, which is 100% unnecessary. You can literally tape over the lidar sensor and it makes zero difference. And bambu is silent on feedback about the lidar. Spaghetti detection is a gimmick and doesn't even work, lidar is a gimmick and makes zero difference to the calibration or print. Auto flow calibration is also a gimmick and nobody uses it. 1st layer calibration is pointless. You can literally print the calibration flow lines, peel the lines off and the sensor will just pick a line that doesn't exist. When people do their prints on their X1, they turn off the flow calibration, they turn off the 1st layer inspection, and they tun off the vibration calibration. Basically everything that uses the lidar, they turn off. Meaning they spent and extra $300 for a sensor that nobody uses.

I guess this format is part of your growth as a videographer, putting a whole story with drama and jeopardy into it. Also inspired by that famous mainstream youtuber you referenced on a recent CLAMP podcast. Throw in an ad read in the middle and there's not much for your core audience of people interested in making things to hang on to. It'll probably work out for you. The title and thumb I saw seemed a bit random though. Didn't get how you were racing or why I should care. The only thing making me click was hearing another opinion on the X1.

[@BeefIngot]

This is by far the fastest machine you can buy. It is also literally faster than vorons, which are known for being fast. Sure a custom Vzbot will be faster, but you cant buy that, you build that. 247printing has an in depth comparison of the Bambu vs Vorons if you dont believe me and want concrete evidence.

[@morbus5726]

@@BeefIngot well that's not exactly true. A voron with a rapido hotend can be much faster, and by faster, I mean in terms of volumetric flow. The big limiter on the bambu lab printer is the hotend. It can flow around 30mm^3/s of material, while the rapido (a common hotend on DIY printers), can flow up to 70mm^3/s. The bambu is hands down the fastest out of the box printer though.

[@daliasprints9798]

It may be the fastest you can buy fully assembled for under 10 grand, but it's nowhere near as fast as the Annex machines you can build for a few thousand and that are open source and use widely available parts from existing ecosystems.

[@daliasprints9798]

You can also make a $150 Ender 3 go faster than the print in this video for about $150-200 in upgrades. But the Bambu could easily go 3-4x as fast as shown here with minimal or no loss in quality.
