To the comments that say this is an expensive circut, yes! But it's also reversible and I can imagine doing this to save space or if cutting vinyl only once in a while.
This comment section is surprisingly full of people without a Cricut or an X1. Love the retrofit, might see if I can do something similar with my P1S! I completely forgot that a 3D printer is essentially just a XY gantry.
I would say I totally expected the comments to be full of people who have no idea what they are talking about -- it is the Internet, after all :) If you have an OnShape account, I posted the link in the Printables file, I think. Let me know if you have questions / if you get it to work for you -- I'd be stoked to hear if you replicate it!
@@joshuawise Thanks, will do! Seems the important parts are also available where I am, so I'll give it a shot when I have the time. I'll probably add a make to the Printables post if I'm successful.
Well done! Extruder disassembly is better explained than the official videos do. Question: Did you also had so many issues with the Bambu provided hex screwdrivers?
I don't know why the official path to remove the extruder has you remove the hot end in situ. It's not necessary. But yes the provided Allen keys are made out of pot metal or something - I use an iFixit kit (in particular, I use the larger handle to get the right amount of torque), and I find that much more comfortable and quicker than the Bambu OE hex keys. (Also, the iFixit drivers are magnetized.)
With how often mine keeps breaking parts and how useless the support has been... this is a better fate than it deserves. These printers deserve the trash bin.
Total waste of a great 3D printer
Oh man if you didn't like this you'll hate the stuff I've been doing with it more recently. Check out Bambu's blog
i love what you have been doing for the X1-C!
Really expensive cricut you got there
i agree, but still awesome
And now you have the world's most expensive Cricut.

Could anyone tell the what size tool I need to remove the filament cutter lever set screw on the X1! Thank you in advance

lets Disassemble my 1500$ 3d printer to make a less capable cricut...

@@jmsether God I love these printers. Never going back to Creality again.
Show me how to convert my vinyl cutter into a 3d printer 😊
Very creative.
You can afford this printer but not a Cricut?
😂 why
Just buy a vinyl cutter… they are cheap.
