I will be looking at a followup video in a month or so to see what might have changed in the firmware/slicer or just covering new things after a month+ use! Checkout Bambu Lab X1 Carbon bit.ly/BambuLabUJ
I've already pre-ordered mine. Wish I had known about the Kickstarter sooner but I didn't. I'm actually hoping that they'll offer ruby nozzles as an option for printing metal filled filaments.
As Angus said, 3D printing has been so accustomed to cheap and mediocre printers for so long that products like these rattle the entire industry. Which is good! We need people to come along and shake things up and show that we don't have to settle for poor performance and poor reliability (and cumbersome tinkering to get even a baseline level of functionality). We CAN and SHOULD be able to print things smoothly, quickly, and easily.
Agreed! Bambu Labs has thrown down the guantlet. I have been 3D printing for 4 years now and printer tech, at least at hobbyist/entry professional level, has been stagnant. It's time for some competitive innovation!
I got this printer, and I'm blown away by how good and reliable this damn thing is. I threw bargain basement PETG in I'd never used before, printed someone a Satsana duct for someone, even freakin m3 nut recesses printed vertically with no supports were absolutely spot on perfect. Default PETG profile but just had to up the bed temp to 70C intstead of 60C, no flow tests, retraction tests, no esteps, no bed leveling, nothing else otherwise. It's an amazing printer.
@@chubscub That's not me, I call a spade a spade. Not sponsored, didn't get one for free, etc. Too damn lazy and busy to get into any of that. I barely even post on youtube, just my FPV drone flights when I feel motivated enough. lol
My X1 Carbon arrived yesterday, so I've only done a few prints, but it's crazy. It's so fast and accurate. I'm very happy with it, and I got the early bird backer price. The one downside so far: the internal led illumination is quite dim.
Quick printing tip: If you want to reduce support material, add a detached simi circle frame or arch, below the support area. The semi circle doesn't need support but the support structures will print ontop of the semi circle or arch. Just ensure your settings overhang angles are correct. The arch provides a space between the base an the area that needs support but uses a ton less material.
We are getting closer to the point where the 3D printer is becoming an appliance. We aren't there yet, but we are getting closer. I picked up the P1p and am completely blown away and at the price point of $699 is truly insane. I'll have more videos up on the P1p so others can see what the other Bambulab printer can do. It's truly amazing!
I would guess that layer issue may be a cooling thing. When it is printing SOOOO fast you may not be able to get enough cooling and will deal with a bit of layer warping causing that ringing you see?
Could be the case - if so this is also an easy software/slicer solve, slowing down the top layers wouldn't add too much time and if it improved the appearance then we'll worth it. I'm a little skeptical tho, as it seemed the top layers were actually a different shape - like where they kg have been concentric circles they actually look more like topography.
@@dylanevans5644 Yeah I have no clue honestly, but I figure the speed is a good place to start when diagnosing on it. Could be resonant vibrations or something really esoteric, but might as well rule out the tough stuff first!
Looks to me like its mainly a slicer problem it was way off and a different shape from what ive seen they also have a cooling fan on the inside for certain materials. but idk ig we will see
Higher flow rates call for higher nozzle temps. When I print at 400mm/s on my V-Minion (which is pretty much my default profile), I'll typically print 30C hotter than if I were printing at "conventional" speeds. Those silk filaments loose their luster the hotter you print them. Typically, I'll print at 190C and slow (40mm/s) to get a really shiny finish. What temperature are you using on the Bambu, and how does it compare to the Neptune profile? You might find that it's just not possible to get both speed and luster with silks, as the additives that create the finish break down at fairly low (for printing) temperatures.
I have a printer that i have fun modding but something like this that i can just plop out of the box and have it go fast sounds awesome. I think this will be my next printer. Definitely hope they make a bigger one in the future
I'm still really excited to get my Ankermake production unit BUT there has been little to no communication from them on whats going on with the machine. Honestly really disappointing.
I backed BOTH projects. I'd already backed the Anker unit when I heard about this one. Got my X1 last Wednesday, the Anker isn't expected to arrive until November.
@@alanjones8560 , so far, it's been outstanding. A minor glitch with the "sport" speed setting. I need to troubleshoot that a bit. It would be nice if they'd included a more detailed user's guide. I found out through watching other videos that this thing has multiple speed settings, including the infamous " ludicrous" speed. As I'm new-ish to this 3D printing thing, I've opted to hold off getting the AMS unit for a while. Looking forward to that.
I've been seeing a lot of chatter about this and was curious what it was all about. Thanks for this great review, answered all of my questions and was super informative about its pros and cons. Definitely one to watch out for. Thanks for sharing!
I LOVE my X1-Carbon! SUPER DUPER Fast... I have to build a stronger table for it. It's moves so quickly, that the inertia for the relatively light head creates a lot of vibration from my table. But even then, there was NO ringing etc... Setup was super simple (just remove 3 screws with included long hex wrench that have red tags and cut one zip-tie) and I was up and running right away. Total setup time (including reading the quick start guide... yes, I watched THAT live show) was less than 15 minutes and most of the time was spent waiting for the calibration.🥰🥰😍
@@matthewd9356 I have that underneath all my other printers. The X1C is just on a temporary area until I can make a more permanent space for it... My room is getting full... 6 Printers and supplies in an 8x8 space is a bit tight...
With the AMS unit there is a load and unload functions. There is a single layer top checked I had to uncheck so the top layers are better. My issue is the bed, I went through the three cool plate stickers. The first started bubbling. The other two ripped with PETG even with glue stick over the entire bed. Under the sticker is the same material as the engineering side so been printing on that with less problems. I would like a textured plate though.
@@lazyman1011 honestly been printing off the engineering pei sheet that is under the sticker. I do use the glue stick but once it’s built up I don’t need it again until I clean the bed. PETG and ABS are fine.
@@LisaHarsh Thanks for the info, managed a small PETG test print on the cold sticker and will ramp up slowly. On the sticker I felt it’s not nice to have a huge layer of glue after a while, also the prints are very messy but wasn’t releasing easier.
Unfortunately for us in the EU it's 1396 excl. VAT for the X1 Carbon. In the Netherlands you have to add up 21% VAT... That would make this printer almost 1700 Euro (1655 USD).
Finally a brand that kicks Prusas ass in multiple ways. 😉 I’m so into buying ..ahm, sorry.. „preordering“ one… and I’ve just only known the brand for like an hour XD Actually wanted to build a VORON. Bambu Labs, what on earth?! You‘ve just messed up my decision 😂
Hi did you know you can access your sliced files from the bambu handy app and send it to the printer that way instead of reslicing? It’s in your history
Did they ever address the load/unload function? Also, the top layer quality, was that ever fixed theough an update? I am considering selling my makerbot method carbon to get the multicolor machine because i am tired of keeping journals and setting timers for filament swaps to change out the color. Great info, thanks for taking time to share. Much appreciated.
I got the kickstarter x1c with ams and it's absolutely amazing. Only reason I'm keeping my raise3d n2 is for the 300mm^3 build volume. If bambu releases a larger printer then the raise3d is gone for sure.
15:24 I think you _can_ re-print the last file (files?) from the printer alone: That's why the balloon dog is listed on the internal storage. So, in a production setting, this should not be an issue? You're *definitely* right about the filament loading and the spaghetti detection though…
You can reprint the last file that you wirelessly sent... when it doesn't have a memory leak or whatever the random issue is but that's it. Only the very last file. It should allow you to print and store a lot more than 1 file from wireless.
Great video. You covered everything really well, even twice on some things, and I like your delivery & presentation. I'm looking forward to when they get more of these in stock. The Prusa XL is out of stock as well. Trying to be patient.
Might consider this as an upgrade. Just got into 3d printing a few months ago and recently started selling things. Looking to get something better and faster than my Ender3. I was leaning towards AnkerMake but might get this instead.
Reducing your layer height will fix your top layer problems. .28 is massive for such curved surfaces. Going to .12 will give you much greater resolution on those curves.
Keep us posted if they add the filament load function and the memory function for storing sliced projects in the printer. I will order one once these have been sorted out. Thank you so much for the video showing the good & the bad.
Wow, talk about an enthusiastic review! But, I would have liked to see a comparison from other printers on that curved top layers issue to see how much is a slicer vs printer problem, and some more specifics on the "speeds and feeds" that it's using, again for comparisons to other printers, particularly other CoreXY configurations..
My thing with this is all proprietary components, if the company go under and you need spare parts you're kinda screwed but otherwise it's very impressive
I've had occasional issues with reprinting files. I think it has to do if there is an error sending data from bambu cloud. Agree with the 300mm cube, really wished the machine was larger for the occasional large print. Also, get some sewing machine oil with a long straw tube applicator: my idler bearings have started squeaking and they are a pain to lube because of how enclosed the machine is.
Gotta love FedEx. Glad that it was the beta unit you were returning and not yours from the campaign. And fast is good, but the biggest draw for me is the reliable part. Sure, there are issues but it still appears to be more reliable than a lot of the available options out there and it seems to work near flawlessly with a wide variety of filaments. I can't wait for mine to arrive and yes, I agree that a 300mm³ or larger build volume would be amazing.
since im planning to print figures with this printer, im a bit worried that there wont be a 100% solution to that ugly curved top problem :/ is it still there when you print with like 0.12 layer height?
If i get this i would get the ams, not for doing multi material prints but to be able to do different prints of different materials without having to change them, using the rest of a spool and continue with another etc.
That right there makes it a no-buy for me. How a $1k+ printer wouldn't have functionality as simple as swap filament is beyond me. This means you're unable to use the color change feature in PrusaSlicer. All of my prints are 4 or more colors, but I prefer to manually change filament instead of wasting material. I was just about to buy the X1, too. Shame.
im looking for a new printer ive been using a few cr-10 but i need something for home thats fully enclosed as my cats are ninjas, what program does this use? cura i hope as its the one i know the best
So are you saying you need glue stick for the first print and then use hairspray? Or can you use hairspray right away and forget about that icky glue stick?
Great video, the printer looks like a solid machine! Side note, please print a cod piece for your Ironman mannequin in the back! Letting your man catch a breeze there.. haha
It comes stock with a 30hrc nozzle i think, but i think tungsten would be a good upgrade. I wouldn't use ruby bc it's pretty fragile and expensive compared to tungsten.
I'm getting worried. Seems like everyone got their KS order, but I've received no shipping information or update at all. I've actually gotten more information from my Ankermake backing than Bambu.
Hey Jessy what about the first layer quality on this one? The printer seems impressive but no one turns the printed model inspecting the first layer (it's only me?)
Ended up ordering one of these with the AMS, it looks insanely great. I really really hope this prompts the likes of Prusa to up their game - I love their printers but dont think they can get away with selling something based around a ~12 year old design anymore.
Im glad your beta unit was just a raspberry of the batch, shame they couldn't get to see what the issues were, maybe bad firmware or something. Talking about firmware, now that they are shipping units retail we hopefully will see more concentration on firmware and software side of things as it seems that is where the remaining kinks are. Nothing looks too serious to hinder how good this machine is though and so nice to see a company take a risk on a new design and features. Im both looking forward to my printer coming and also where this printer is going to go. Im happy to purchase proprietary parts as long as they are reasonably cheap and allows to continually fund BambuLab as long as they continue to maintain and develop this and future machines.
How are these still not released?? ... And they're priced at 1449$ now. Ugh. If it was slightly bigger Id feel better about buying one. Maybe cr6 max is for me
the only thing that stoped me from getting that printer was the build volume, its just to small for helmets. so yeah a 300x300x300 would be an insta buy
I will be looking at a followup video in a month or so to see what might have changed in the firmware/slicer or just covering new things after a month+ use!

Hopefully they can come up with a larger unit that does 300-400mm cubed. That would be really fantastic.
For what? Only if you print big its needed
@@AFroMinZex3 Exactly. Big.
Where can opioid buy this? The Kickstarter is saying estimated time to get one would be July 2022. Do you know or a way to get this quicker
@unclejessy Which mid range (£800 avg), core xy, enclosed printer do u recommend?
Great video, the printer looks like a solid machine! Side note, please print a cod piece for your Ironman mannequin in the back! Letting your man catch a breeze there.. haha
Can you put these on a rotating base to deal with reaching the rear?
Hopefully they will offer ruby nozzle hotend upgrades among others for printing metal filled filaments.
It comes stock with a 30hrc nozzle i think, but i think tungsten would be a good upgrade. I wouldn't use ruby bc it's pretty fragile and expensive compared to tungsten.
@@kalihban7212 That's a good point. Still, it would be nice to have those options.
I backed the Ankermake M5 kickstarter, did I mess up,
Is this a better machine?.
I'm getting worried. Seems like everyone got their KS order, but I've received no shipping information or update at all. I've actually gotten more information from my Ankermake backing than Bambu.
hey I've already had mine for a week already. it's awesome backer 3300ish
Is the update video he talked about releasing a month after this one somewhere?
Hey Jessy what about the first layer quality on this one? The printer seems impressive but no one turns the printed model inspecting the first layer (it's only me?)
So, you are satisfied with your x1 purchase and it has been able to attract your satisfaction, did I think correctly?
Ended up ordering one of these with the AMS, it looks insanely great. I really really hope this prompts the likes of Prusa to up their game - I love their printers but dont think they can get away with selling something based around a ~12 year old design anymore.
And their MK4 just shows that they are still stuck in their old design...
Im glad your beta unit was just a raspberry of the batch, shame they couldn't get to see what the issues were, maybe bad firmware or something. Talking about firmware, now that they are shipping units retail we hopefully will see more concentration on firmware and software side of things as it seems that is where the remaining kinks are. Nothing looks too serious to hinder how good this machine is though and so nice to see a company take a risk on a new design and features. Im both looking forward to my printer coming and also where this printer is going to go. Im happy to purchase proprietary parts as long as they are reasonably cheap and allows to continually fund BambuLab as long as they continue to maintain and develop this and future machines.
Great review and hey you can use those saved 6h of printing to sand!
At the 7:33 mark I'm now noting to myself that when I get this printer the first thing I'm buying for it is a lazy susan.
What is the pla gloop? Is there a video on that?
Nice videos no baloney moves along
I want this or the Prusa XL next. If they make a bigger vesion of the Bambu Labs then for me this wins.
Could you possibly share your slicer settings with us?
How are these still not released?? ... And they're priced at 1449$ now. Ugh. If it was slightly bigger Id feel better about buying one. Maybe cr6 max is for me
Ugh, I picked the AnkerMake over this based on your reviews. Now I get to wait until November to be feeling misled and full of regret.
Carnt find anything on the site about when is the final date to pay it by in the uk 😅
Hi Jessy!
Have you tried to print TPU on this printer?
So is the top surface layering issue fixed now?
can u just print a tray to catch all the bits at the bottom?
the only thing that stoped me from getting that printer was the build volume, its just to small for helmets. so yeah a 300x300x300 would be an insta buy
Is this machine faster than Flsun v400? Seeing great print with high speed. This printer looks nice tho.
