Great tutorial, i'm 67 new to all this technical stuff and able to understand what you were talking about, there should be more like this for us older people that want to keep up with the times, thank you.
The best tutorial for a beginner like me. Very thorough without unnecessary comments. I think I will revisit this tutorial many times whenever I have questions on settings. Thank you so much for your work.
Really glad it was helpful! That's my aim is to be a usful resourse. I'm currently working on the successor to this video which covers all the features unlocked with the 'Advanced' tab ticked on, but I've got lots of other shorter 'feature specific' videos coming out in the meantime. Happy printing!
i am an immediate subscriber, i have just ordered a Bambu PS1 and the information via the few videos i have watched on your channel have my mind racing in what i want to get printing, but baby steps. Your delivery is clear, not rushed, concise and easy to understand, even to a person who has only ever printed on paper. The X box scan, yep, already got one, AI, to make models, wow, Im not artistic in any way, but my mind is just buzzing with ideas, things that my wife, the very arty one has mentioned over the years. Please keep the content coming
Just taken delivery pf A1, I am total newbie. Iwill definitely be watching this excellent tutorial again! (Probably several times). Thank you.
Welcome to 3D printing! Really glad you enjoyed it and hope it helps. Once you've got the hang of what I cover in this tutorial you may want to check out my Bambu Studio Advanced tutorial, before you move onto some of my more feature specific videos. Happy printing!
You sir, are an excellent teacher! Your tutorial has helped me immensely. As others have commented, it's nice that you don't have any distracting background music.
Thank you very much Mark, I'm really glad you found it useful! I've got plenty more videos for you to move onto and lots more on the way. I'm a lways here if you have any problems! Happy printing.
Thank you for the excellent tutorial! Very easy to understand and I feel very confident using this utility now.
watching this as I wait for my P1S to be delivered. This is just awesome. kudos my friend.
Thanks very much, glad it's helpful. Plenty of other tutorials on my channel and plenty more to come. You'll love your P1S. Happy printing
Hi. Want to say thank you for your very good tutorial video!! Just ordered my A1 printer. I'm a very beginner, first printer. Glad that i found your tutorial video. Many thanks from Hungary!!
Great video, thanks so much for going through some of this stuff. Absolutely helped me start to understand the bambu studio as a new printer owner.
Thank you for this! I have just started on my 3D printing journey and I picked up a lot of very useful info from this video :)
Fantastic video, especially for someone who is jumping from the Cura/Ender 3 world to Bambu's ecosystem. Learned a LOT, thank you for your time and effort!
Just got an A1 mini for an early birthday gift and never had a printer before, you helped explain this in a way that not only helped me understand the software and how things work, but why I need to use certain features. 11/10 thank you
It's comments like this that absolutely make my day, thank you so much! I'm so glad you found the video useful and hopefully you'll continue to find other videos in my growing catalogue of tutorials and explorations useful and interesting. Welcome to the exciting world of 3D printing!
@@3DRevolution I’m definitely going to be going through your other videos, I did my first test with supports last night and found that they were impossible to take off, this was with a preset somebody posted so now gotta do research on how to make those easy to come off!
Thank you for your awesome tutorial. It is straight forward and easy to follow. I really like that you don't have annoying music and that your video is easy to hear. My A1 will be here in a couple of days, and I was needing to figure out Bambu Studio vs Cura. It was nice that you took the time to say how to print to non-bambo printer also!! Thank You!
Hey thanks for the comment, really glad you like the style of the video.
I've got lots of new videos (both software and hardware tutorials), and also have an A1 arriving shortly myself so expect some A1 specific tutorials soon. Happy printing.
FANTASTIC tutorial!!!!! I’m fairly new to Bambu slicer and this cleared up so many questions that I had, and opened my eyes to all the new features that I haven’t been using yet. Well done!!!
Really glad it was helpful! Thanks for commenting, happy printing!
This video was amazing, thank you. I started watching a few others and gave up on them before I found yours. You explained it perfectly for this beginner.
Really glad it was helpful. I've got lots more to come including the Bambu Studio Advanced Tutorial which will cover all of the features unlocked by the Advanced toggle switch.
I am new to 3d printing and everything you explained in this tutorial helped me out significantly! Thank you!
You are so welcome! Really glad it could help. Plenty more videos already on my channel that may be of help to you and loads more on the way.
Happy printing!
This was superb. I learnt so much and will definitely watch the others. Thanks.
Great tutorial my A1 arrives tomorrow I'm familiar with cura & other slicers but it's good to have a tutorial on Bambu studio, the slicer looks awesome they seem to have covered every aspect of model slicing I can't wait to get my Bambu printer!
absolutely brilliant , the timing and the way you speak is spot on 👍 other UA-cam videos just speak to quickly cannot take the information in. I do appreciate the time and effort you've put into this .I Look forward to watching more from you . great job 🏆
Really glad it was helpful, and thank you very much! I'm always here if you need help, happy printing!
WOW - Just got a printer and this may be the best video I’ve seen. I learn SO MUCH so fast from it. Now to watch them all.
Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Happy printing!
Excellent job in explaining every step of the process. Very well spoken. Look forward to watching your other videos.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks very much!
Great tutorial, thank you. I am coming over from a year of resin printing (smelly, toxic, messy cleanup but good prints if you get the settings right!) and have just bought myself a P1S. This slicer is sooo different to the slicer I used for the resin printer. So many more features and settings to get your head around. I am looking forward to the rest of the videos and the journey ahead.
Exciting times Bruce, and quite a rare path you're taking. I feel most people in the world of 3D printing venture into FDM first before SLA so I'm sure you'll be entering this district of the maker kingdom with some fascinating and different perspectives. Look forward to seing what you create. Glad you're finding my videos useful, got plenty more on the way. Thanks for commenting, stay in touch, and happy printing!
This is an extremely helpful video! Thank you!
Brilliant tutorial. I have seen many reviews for the A1 with AMS, but not one showed the actual design and slice process. Many thanks
Great video.. I am really looking forward to your advanced video!! Thank you for creating and sharing this video!!
Thanks very much, looking forward to finishing it off and bringing it out. Got a few others already lined up but the advanced tutorial is well under production.
Such a awesome into video! I will binge watching all the videos.
Haha glad you liked it. Plenty more to come!
Fantastic tutorial! Now it's time to see the advanced one. Thanks a lot!
Really glad you liked it! Hope you like the advanced one. That and a whole load of others are already online and plenty more on the way!
First time viewer and new subscriber here…I seriously appreciate how thorough your tutorial was and how professionally you presented the material. Your delivery was superb, and I look forward to viewing your other presentations! Thank you for putting in all the time and effort necessary to make such a high quality video.
Hey, really glad you liked the video and thanks for the sub, welcome to the 3D revolution!
You're very welcome, it always makes me happy to see people find my presentation and teaching methods helpful. Always here to help if you have any questions. All the best, happy printing!
Ive had really bad luck with 3d printing i have a ender 3 that needs an entirely new hotend and i have a shark v3 which tried to burn my house down
I took them to a shop to get worked on and the guy there had 58 bambu a1s and i was shocked at how well the printers ran and had amazing quality so i just ordered one it got to my house yesterday ive got to get it setup
the video has been super helpful i think i understand more about this slicer in 1 video than i could ever wrap my head around with cura after about a year and 100s of videos later you my friend are a great teacher and becauae of that you just got a new like and sub!
Oh wow, I'm sorry to hear about the fire incident, I hope you managed to extinguish it before it got too out of hand?
Thank you so much for your comment, these honestly mean so much to me and are what keeps me going here. I'm really glad the video helped, and thanks for the sub. Happy printing!
Amazing video 👍🏼, really enjoyed watching your video and learned a lot from it.
Outstanding tutorial. I am a total beginner and was able to understand and follow along quite well. Thank you.
Really glad you enjoyed it, hope it helped. My sequel to his covering all the advanced features came out on Friday, and got tons more on the way.
Happy printing!
first of all , thank you, I just bought my first printer home ( an ender 3) , without this tutorial I'd be totally lost, but my first print came out perfect :-)
oh yes , the second thing, this might be dumb question but, I cant find an option to change the size of the menues ,I mean when I press slice ,between the process menue ( it takes one third of the screen) and the stats(takes the other third ) ,I can hardly see the model , can you help me with that ?
Thank you for a very clear and precise tutorial 👍 it is so nice to be able to understand so clearly, it makes a change from trying to understand the chipmunk sounding presentations of some UA-cam channels. Thank you again you have gained another subscriber 👍😊
You're very welcome, really glad it was helpful! Thanks for the sub, and happy printing!
Great tutorial. This is exactly what I need , because I'm getting a bambu printer and switching from Cura to Bambu slicer.
Really glad it was helpful!
Happy printing.
I have a ton of experience with blender and maya but this stuff opens up a whole new world! Just got my p1s, excited to start!!
Welcome to the exciting world of 3D printint!
Time to take your creations and bring them into the real world!
Excellent, thank you for doing this! I'm a long-time Ender 3 Pro/Cura user, but a Bambu X1-C is on the way and your video has helped me get an overview of Bambu Studio. I'll be using it in the meantime to produce gcode for a couple of files for the Ender 3 so that I get more familiar with Studio. Your video really helps.
Hey really glad it was helpful. Got lots more Bambu Studio tutorials on the way, including the sequel to this one going through all the advanced features. Thanks for commenting, and happy printing!
fabulous tutorials
Excellent video and explained very well. Thank you.
You're very welcome, hope it helped. I've got plenty more videos you may like to check out when you feel you've mastered what was covered here, including the sequel to this video, my Bambu Studio Advanced tutorial.
Always here to help if you need it. Thanks, and happy printing!
So helpful for a newbie like me, thank you.
Really glad it's helpful! Once you've got the grips with what I cover in this video, move onto my Bambu Studio Advanced tutorial, and then you can checkout all my feature specific videos and more!
Happy printing!
Excellent Video, good pacing and clear and concise content. thank you.
Really glad you found it helpful! If you fancy learning more, I've got plenty more for you to sink your teeth into already and lots of new ones on the way. Let me know if you're ever stuck.
Thanks for watching, and happy printing!
Thanks for the work! Good Job.
Thanks, hope it helped, happy printing!
3D revolution for president. You sir are awesome!

This was an AMAZING tutorial. Thank you. Liked/Subscribed.
You're very welcome Chris. Thanks very much, really glad it helped. I've got plenty of other tutorials already up, once you've finished with this one you may like to take a look at the Bambu Studio Advanced tutorial. Lot's more on the way. Thanks again, and happy printing!
Just watched this great video. I have been a Cura user and while the slicers are very similar the interfaces are different enough that this detailed video was well worth watching. I look forward to upcoming releases for this series.
This comment made my day, really glad it helped.
Thanks a lot for the feedback, plenty more on the way. Happy new years, and happy printing!
Wow! Thanks for this video. Thank you so much.
My pleasure, thank you!
Great tutorial. Thank you!
You're very welcome!
Fantastic video! Thank you!!
You're very welcome, glad you like it.
Excellent tutorial.

Excellent tutorial
Really glad you like it, hope it helped. Happy printing!
Excellent tutorial ! Ciao from Italy.
Thanks very much. Ciao!
Awesome video, thanks for making this!
You're very welcome! Happy printing!
Super helpful. Thank you.
Really glad it was helpful! Happy printing!
Very nicely done. I suggest you watch the vid and trim the segments in which you repeat a line (like, on a second take). Also, as this is a beginner vid, don’t use a word in its definition (ex, “this infill button sets the infill”); if you can’t define it, try to state why one would choose that option (ex, “the infill button reduces the amount of filament used by printing a skeleton inside instead of a solid interior”).
I also like how well you enunciate, because it means that I can set the playback speed to 1.5x and still understand you. Well done!
so helpful!!! thanks a lot
You're most welcome, thanky you, and happy printing!
awesome video thank you!
You're very welcome!
Fantastic video, very good, very clear and concise, look forward to discovering what other info and tutorials you can do.
Will share link to this in one of the bambu fb groups as I feel it was so useful for beginners like myself.
Thanks, great video, do more please 😀
Thanks very much for the feedback, really glad you liked it. I'm working on the Bambu Studio Advanced tutorial (the sequel to this one) at this very moment and that'll be published in the next week or two, but I've already got a number of other Bambu Studios tutorials on the channel, and more coming out in the coming days.
I've got very long list of content I'm working on so it's not going to stop coming, and always here to help if you ever have any questions.
Thanks again, and happy printing!
@@3DRevolution appreciate that and you a lot. A very considered approach to content creation, and that's wonderful to see. My YT algo is now pointing to all your videos, or could just be me lol. Very much looking forward to your Advanced tutorial as the longer form content is my personal preference, funny enough they still get my repeat watches, especially when timestamped so brilliantly like in this one.
Thanks again, happy creating! :)
Liked and subscribed, top teir content right here, thank you.
Thank you so much, really glad you liked it! Plenty more content in the way. If you're after something to progress onto now, I've go the Bambu Studio Advanced Tutorial already to go on my channel (along with a load of others).
Thanks again
Thanks for the video. This is great
Hope it was helpful thanks for commenting, and happy printing
Beginner's ultimatum package from A to Z. GREAT THANKS!
Glad it was helpful, thanks for the comment, and happy printing!
@@3DRevolution Oh this is way beyond "helpful" very far!!! Your content is just another level. Thanks again!
@@tinygreenturtle thanks very much, really nice to hear. Let me know if you have any issues.
brilliant video.. thankyou
You are welcome!
Very cool video, thanks Man - I learned alot :-)
Glad you learned from it! Got plenty more ready to watch including the sequel to this video (Bambu Studio Advanced Tutorial), and masses more on the way every week.
I am absolutely amazed by your knowledge of the Bambu software.
If I can make two suggestions because I found it difficult to follow your mouse;
1) Make your mouse pointer larger, and 2) change it's colour to "Inverted". I make these suggestions because, at 78y.o.a., I found it very hard to keep up with your movements on screen.
I am awaiting the delivery of a "P1S Combo" and it is great to know that you know the printer, and its software, inside out. Having bought a second-hand printer a month ago, and having to go through "bed levelling" is what made me purchase the P1S Combo. As for the Bambu Software, I had no idea that there are SO MANY adjustments you have to make BEFORE starting the print, so I will be re-running your video MANY times, for it is a great reference. Thank you for producing it.
Stay safe and my kind regards, Ron.
Hi Ron,
I'll absolutely take your suggestions into consideration for future videos, thank you for taking the time to get in touch.
Exciting news on your P1S Combo, you're going to love it!
Let me know if I can ever help in the future. Happy printing!
Encouraging to see another 78yo starting out … I hope all went well for your p1s …
I am way behind starting out with A1 mini .
Thank you for this!
You're most welcome, I hope it was helpful!
Great video!! Waiting for my P1S to arrive - thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks very much, glad you liked it. Good luck with your P1S, you'll love it!
So looking forward to it. I started 3d printing about a year ago and bought a couple of ender-3v3se printers and have learned a lot from these printer’s including with your tutorials on the prusaslicer. Now looking to print in color with AMS without doing manual filament swaps. Again, thanks for all your tips!
you can also inport a file from files, just click open with bambu studio
thanks man!
No problem, happy printing!
BEST VIDEO EVAAAAAAA!
Haha hope it was helpful
Great video. My Bambu X1C comes this upcoming week
Fantastic! You'll love it!
Just bought a P1P (my first 3d printer) and I should receive it next week. This has been a good primer!
Fantastic! Welcome to the exciting world of 3D Printing! I'm always around if you need any help, have a ton of videos and tutorials all ready to work through, and plenty more on the way.
@3DRevolution I appreciate that. I was always asking a friend for stuff and decided to take the plunge. I have a 3yo obsessed with trains and my wife and I play and upgrade board games so I'll use it a bunch.
@@joshuagregoire7410 I just got my p1p a fortnight ago. fantastic printer and this tutorial helped soo much. If you are like me you will not regret it
Great Tutorial For Beginners. A Little Slower World Be Nice. But With That Said It's Spot On For Newbys. Thank You.👍
Really glad you enjoyed it. Yeah I am trying to improve the pace I run at in my videos so hopefully you'll find it better in future videos. Just a tip, if I (or anyone) is going too fast on UA-cam, if you hit the 'cog' settings button on the video and go to 'playback speed' you can set it to play back at something like 75% (listed as 0.75) and that may then be a better speed for you. Thanks for the feedback and happy printing!
Thank you this was very helpful, I was having trouble assigning the base color in the AMS I wanted to use without using the paint function. It seemed to have a mind of it's own.
I'm really glad it was helpful. Did this help you solve the issue with assigning which filament you needed or do you still need some help?
Actually Print via object is sometimes far better than layer, you could print the boat first and have a lot less waste in filament and time cause it won't change and dump anywhere near as much filament. (If on same plate).
Absolutely true. I actually recently published a video specifically covering print by object where I explain the advantages and limitations
Thanks for posting here, the community offering help to each other is so important! Happy printing!
Thanks a lot for this fantastic and detailed beginner tutorial. I am (still) a noob in 3D printing and this tutorial really helped me on the way. I am not a native English speaker but your instructions were very clear to me.👍🏻
I'm really glad it was helpful, once you feel ready to progress, I've got lots more including the advanced sequel to this specific video.
I'm glad to know my video was helpful to you even though English isn't your first language.
May I ask what your native language is? It's good to know my audience outside of just Google analytics for making my content as accessible as possible in the future.
@@3DRevolution My native language is Dutch and though my English is not bad it is hard to follow all the technical things. You however speak very articulated and not to fast and that helps me understanding it. I certainly will progress with your other Bambu Studio video's. Once more, thank you for your work.
Thanks
Thank you very much! I hope it helped! I'm always here if you need any help. Happy printing!
Is there a way to position a part diagonally on the plate so it will fit? Thanks.
Awesome
Thanks, Glad you like it! Happy printing.
Hello,may i ask when the series about "flishing volumes" will be released?
Love you video 🙏 but I do have a question with an issue I’m facing (not major but still frustrating) I have created a design in fusion and made it intro multipart and scattered them in the same size of the build plate and saved it as 3MF. When I sent it to bambu studio I’m unable to select each part individually (like to rotate it on face or move each part individually) it select all the part as 1 object and that is frustrating because I going to have to save each part and send them each to the slicer… is there a way around that?
One thing I struggled with was when I wanted to use spool 2 when I had a spool on ams 1 I couldn't work out how to choose that spool in Bambu studio because I only had the option to delete the last spool in studio I did eventually discover how to swap the ams spool number for the single spool showing in bambu studio but it wasn't very clear
are we able to raise prints i wanna print a green lantern ring
I have a macbook 2018 and I’m having issues getting it to print, computer wont even send anything to the printer
Excellent video so thank you for making it! Question… seems like one can do multiple color printing without the ams since you said you sometimes use filament that is externally loaded. How would one do that exactly? Haven’t watched your advanced video yet so maybe you cover it there?
So glad you liked the video, thank you so much! Regarding multi-colour printing without an AMS, you can do that but you are pretty much limited to different colours on different layers rather than painting specific sections of the print different colours.
I cover it in a recent video which you can see here: ua-cam.com/video/thJERltpUZE/v-deo.htmlsi=IYs7aP0NOuNg3Rp_
Hope that helps.
i made a model how do i save it to my files
nice
Glad you like it
Your video is fantastic! I do wish you were somehow able to be zoomed in on the various settings so I could read them. They are just a blur to me. Another thing would be to use one of those color halos around your cursor. Most of the time, I couldn't see what you were clicking on.
I'm glad you like the video.
Thanks for your feedback, a number of people have made similar requests and in my more recent software tutorials I have begun to zoom in on areas where there is small text or lots of details/options.
I've also switched to using a larger cursor to more easily follow.
I'm always happy to help if you couldn't follow something.
Hello agian, your tutorial are great, thank you for answering my question. How can I print an original item? I have solidworks on my computer or do I need to download a different cad software? I need to start doing proto type devices cover. Again thank you
Hey there. SolidWorks is the industry leading CAD software, if you have that and you know how to use it, there is no better option. I personally use Fusion 360 but both are more than capable for 3D prints.
I'm not personally super familiar with the SolidWorks (though I do plan to wrap my head around it at some point), but you basically just need to export your designs you've made in there as an STL, then import that into Bambu Studio (or whichever slicer you're using)
I am very very new to 3D printing and just set up my new Bambu Labs A1 Combo. Thoroughly engrossed with this video. One thing, for us very old folks enjoying your videos, could you please highlight or enlarge your mouse pointer? It's tiny size has caused me to slide back and forth many times to find what you were pointing to.
Hi there and welcome to the exciting world of 3D printing! I've no doubt you're going to absolutely love your A1 combo.
Regarding your request, I have received some similar requests and I will definitely take them into account when producing similar videos in the future.
Thanks, and happy printing!
I bought my first 3D printer (P1S) a few weeks ago and was struggling to find a good video that covered all the bases of operating I felt needed covering. Then I found this video. Thank you so much, as I am watching it a second time to make sure I'm not missing anything. I did have a quick question; at 53:47, during the supports section, you mention that BBL Studio adds supports where it thinks you need supports with an overhang where the angle is ~below~ that of your threshold angle that you have set. Maybe I have misunderstood, but did you mean ~above~ the threshold that you have set? I would think that the overhangs on the benchy are close to 90. If I have misunderstood, please let me know so I don't make the mistake again!
Hey there. Thanks so much for getting in touch and I'm really glad you found the video useful.
Regarding the support question, I did indeed mean 'below'.
This angle is referring to the angle of a printed surface relative to a bed. So the side of a cube sat on the print bed would be 90°. If your Threshold angle is set to 30°, then it would not apply support material to any surface which had an angle above 30°, but would for example, provide support for a surface at a 20° angle from the bed (which would be quite a considerable overhang.
Do let me know if you'd like me to explain this further.
@@3DRevolution This clears it up nicely! I think the key words I was missing were “relative to the bed”. After launching BBL Studio just now to see if I had missed that in the tool-tip while hovering over Threshold Angle, I noticed it wasn’t in the tool-tip, but clicking the link to the wiki does hint at that in the diagram. Still no mention of the bed, but does clear things up. Thanks!
This is so helpful. Thank you! One quick question regarding minimizing filament purging:
In the example of the bench and the dragon where the dragon is green and the bench is almost completely orange, wouldn’t print by object vs layer significantly reduce the amount of purge required?
Hey, really glad you found the video helpful!
You're absolutely right, printing by object with two objects each a different colour would massively reduce the purge required compared to printing them layer by layer.
However, in cases like that I'd personally much prefer to just run them as completely separate prints (which is effectively the same thing, without risking a toolhead collision with other objects).
If you do need to print multiple items at the same time though, each which are a a different colour, print by object will certainly both quicker and produce significantly less purge material than printing them all together by layer.
@@3DRevolution
Good info- Thank you!!
As a side note I have not printed my first print yet. My printer is waiting in the box at home as it arrived when I was out of town. Your video is giving me a great head start for when I finally get to print.
Amazing guide thank you 🙏
Can I ask please, how do I lift an object off the bed if for e.g I want to stack it onto another object? When I currently try and do this is locks to the bed!
Hey glad you like the video.
Sure, you can do this but you need to do it slightly differently. Any models you import as separate items will be treated as such and so they will always snap down to the bed as you can't print something hovering in mid air.
If you want to attach one file onto another one, import the first model into Bambu Studio (the one that will be sat on the print bed), then right click on that item, hover over 'Add Part', and select 'Load'. Then navigate to and select the next item you want to attach.
Then just use the move tool to position it where you want. If when moving it around you find it's moving the original item as well, make sure you go to the 'Objects' settings rather than 'Global' settings at the top bar of the 'Process settings' section, and select the specific item you want to move. When adding something as a part, they are then seen as one object so if in global settings it would move them together. Let me know if you still have issues with this.
@@3DRevolution thank you I really appreciate you help! I had some experience with 3d printing about 5 years ago, I used to use tinkercad so still a lot of learning to do!
In the future you could use some app to visualize clicks, increase visibility of the cursor etc
In the 7 months since this video was published I've had a few similar requests, and more recent software tutorials now feature some mechanics that can make it easier to follow on a smaller screen. I hope thst helps, happy printing.
I'm a noob. Hope you can help me. I need to know if I should leave my PLA filament loaded in the head, or should I remove the filament when I am finished 3d printing an object. Is it safe to finish printing and just leave the printer loaded with the filament. thank you for your help. BTW, what modeling program can a non-engineering type like me use that doesn't require years of training to use. Tony 😎
Hey Tony, welcome.
Technically you're fine to leave the filament loaded and I'd say 90% of hobbyists do.
The reason to unload it and pack it up when not in use is filament absorbs moisture from the air and over time this causes it to perform worse when printing. At that point you then want to 'dry' your filament using a filament dryer, mod for your heated printer bed, or a food dehydrator, but preventing is always best. So, if you're in a particularly humid part of the world, you may want to unload your filament between prints and store it in an airtight bag or box with some silica gell.
If however you're in a dryer part of the world and it's not going to be weeks in between each print, then you'll likely be ok leaving the spool on there. In time you'll find you'll be swapping reels out anyway as you want to print in different colours and materials so the same reel is never loaded for long.
There is a slight exception with the AMS (not the AMS lite) where it technically unloads the filament automatically at the end of a print, but it's housed within a fairly air tight container anyway, meaning you don't need to worry about filaments being left in the AMS enclosure as much.
On a side note, an important thing after printing is to make sure you let the hot end cool down to ideally 35 or 40 degrees before you power it off. This is because it'll keep the fan running along the heat sync and prevent heat rising up the extruder too high. If you power it off too early it can result in clogs or other issues in future uses.
As for a CAD programme, it really depends what sort of stuff you want to design. If you want to design more organic structures (busts, animals, trees etc) then use Blender, but if you want to design more functional or dimensionally accurate parts, then there is a range of choices out there. My advice would be Fusion 360. It isn't a quick and easy learn, and it has a lot of functions you'll never need. However, if you start out with something else, you will eventually want some of the functions of Fusion 360, at which point you'd be learning again from scratch, so you're best off just learning that from the get go.
Also, there is a free version of Fusion 360 available, providing you're not earning more than £1000 directly from it's use (and some other caviats I think).
Excellent video. Can you tell me please, is there a way to join 2 models together. I was thinking that, if i had a 2 colour model, I could design the two colour parts externally. Then import both parts into Studio, give them their colours and then join then together.
Thanks very much. There is absolutely a way to join 2 models together, check out my video on Mesh Boolean. The assembly system has been slightly changed since an update released 2 days ago but for the most part that video should cover it for you.
@@3DRevolution ah, so if, for instance, I had a head and a hat models, I could import both objects in, assign them different colours, put the hat on the head, combine them and print them as one?
I just want to know whether you can print stuff without having to send it to the cloud first using the Bambu p1p printer. Please someone answer my questions
I'm sorry for my late replies to your other questions. Do let me know if you still have any other questions.
Hi, I actually have a big question, why in the Bambulab Studio the time to print the benchy is about 40 minutes, but when you print it directly from the printer's memory it marks that it can do it in 17 minutes... Is there any configuration of the speed so we can reach that speed with out have to use the mode Sport?
Hey, the time a print takes comes down to a huge range of settings.
From Layer Height, to the various printing speed settings, to the infil percentage and number of perimeters.
The pre-sliced super fast Benchy will have been sliced with speed as a priorty.
I would imagine they effectively set the various speed settings to similar to that of what the printer would normally be running at when in Sport or Ludacris mode.
That said, I've not been able to replicate the same production times when manually slicing a Benchy myself. I'd imagine they just adjusted things like speeds and accelerations to the fastest the printer could handle, as that initial fast Benchy is sort of the showboat for Bambu printers.
