Great video!
Very Helpful tips! Thx for the good advice for neewbie's like me ^_^
excellent!! i love the black & white deadpan K.I.S.S. presentation! Thank You!
Thanks so much for the compliment. Songlad you found it useful😊
Very good video! 👍😊 Straight to the point, all tips relevant and explanation is clear and good!
Thanks so much. I hope to see more comments from you in the future.
I would really appreciate a video on improving the quality of A1/A1 mini prints, common mistakes that ruin quality and how to fix common issues. I have had my A1 mini about a month now and have noticed a decline in the quality of the prints. I am not sure if this is due to wet filament (my main theory) or something else. Would be a super useful video!
That sounds like a good video, and i would be happy to make it. It will take me a bit to put it together, so in the meantime, let me try to assist you. It is possible that wet filament is to blame for your problem, but I assume you are fairly new to 3d printing and are printing a fairly new roll of PLA or PETG. If this is the case, it is unlikely to be wet filament. Please message me on printables. If you could send me some pictures of your problem and some more info on the filament, i will be happy to try and help you resolve your problem.
This is random and semi-unrelated to the video, but I hope the best for you man and you make great content! I really hope to see your channel grow massively
Thanks so much. Its always great to hear that someone enjoys my content.
I just ordered mine, thanks for sharing your tips 😊
You're welcome. Stay tuned for more :)
These are great tips. Thanks!
My A1 with AMS Lite was my first 3D printer. It's the coolest thing I've purchased since my first bike, computer, game console and first car. I love it.
I'm learning allot too considering I've only had it a week.
I'm glad you liked it. You have a lot of excitement and fun ahead. You never forget your first printer. My first printer was a printRbot simple. It was made of wood and used fishing line instead of belts....printers have come a long way in the last 11 years.
I liked my A1 so much I went out and got a P1S
@flat_stickproductions209 if that trend continues...you will wind up with an x1c because you like your p1s so much. :) If you haven't seen it already, i have a video talking about some of the p1s vs x1c differences that are hardly ever mentioned. Thanks for commenting.
@@How2Texan I also just checked, your video was the one I watched standing in front of both in Microcenter.
@flat_stickproductions209 thats awesome. Thanks for letting me know.
This is one of the best tips videos I have seen. Thank you!
Thank you so much. I hope future tip videos will live up to this.
Nice content.
Making videos is hard. I suggest a) making sure the image is level (can be done in post-processing), b) considering doing some color grading to remove the "yellow bulb" coloring. This will make things nicer to the eyes.
Usually the first thing to improve is the audio, but that will need extra hardware.
Thank you for the advice, I really appreciate it and know i have a lot of room for improvement in my videos. I have been fighting with those bulbs for several things they are doing with my cameras. I actually replaced them twice during the course of replacing the video. I am fairly happy with the bulbs in the last few minutes of the video. What do you think? I will also try to level the videos. I honestly hadn't even considered that aspect of the process before, other than trying to level the camera.
Spring steel has tendency to... spring! ☝️😎
Great info dude!
3d printing tips from Dwight Schrute, perfectenschlag...😂😂😂 Thanks bro!
Great tips!
I'm glad you liked it. Make sure you are subscribed for more. :)
Good advice all round!
Amazing Content, sir! I'm an experienced 3d print user and I found very useful tips from this video. Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much. That means a lot. Which tip did you find most useful?
Great presentation bud, keep this going.
Thank you, i am working on a few different videos right now, so be on the lookout for more.
ty ty. My A1 and AMS lite comes in a few days. I shouldn't already be looking at their corexy machines but... its all so cool lol
You're welcome. Will this be your first 3d printer? The A1 will perform nearly as good as their corexy machines unless you are trying to print materials like abs, which require an enclosed chamber. Feel free to ask any questions you have.
@@How2Texan In a way, yes this will be my first printer. I technically had an Ankermake M5C for a week, and it was a great newbie friendly printer for someone that didn't know anything, but it also didn't have all the sensors, the ams, the stronger rails, the camera, the touchscreen, and all the other tech features that the Bambu Lab did. At first I thought nothing of it, but as I did more research, I realized why the Bambu Lab name was revered (and sometimes hated lol) in the 3D printing space. The M5C was within the return window for amazon so I sent it back along with the $40 external screen I had bought for it. At this point I am preparing for the A1 by watching all sorts of tutorials on their slicer software and the printer.
I do appreciate your kindness and I will be sure to ask if I have any questions! I have realized that the A1 is very fast and it will be more that enough for my needs. The corexys are expensive, and i'm just a hobbyist at this point, but I guess its the tech of those machines that has me looking at them :)
Great video! It would dramatically help if you can get a DJI Mic especially in that rooms acoustic profile
I have heard the DJI mics are fantastic. They are just really expensive. They have been on my gear list, though. The acoustics in my new house are proving difficult, though, and i guess , should make it a higher priority. Thank you for your suggestion, i really appreciate advice that will help me improve.
Id really like a video explaining the different nozzle types
I can do that. Is there a question you need answered right now or can it wait for the video?
Tip 10 make sure you print the bed cable adaptor to avoid the current defect A1 announced on the recall
Actually, the problem seems more serious than that now. There are several influencers reporting that Bambu has advised them to tell people to stop using the A1 even if there is no damage. I also read a report that Microcenter is accepting returns for all A1 printers right now and has pulled all A1 printers from the shelves and is returning them. I just posted a YT short but will be making a new one soon with more info as i find it. Stay safe.
Thanks for the video, subscribed!
I have a question. I’m planning to buy A1 as my first 3D printer, so the idea came up to install it in the dressing room, and attach the AMS system upside down to the hanger bar. Do you think this option would be acceptable? The AMS will be directly on top of the printer, but not touching it. Also, what will be the length of the printer if the bed is moved all the way back? Thanks in advance!
You’d need about 545mm total length to accomodate the length of the bed moving either side. Easiest way would be to get a desk of 1 foot wide & 2 foot depth & put the A1 in the middle of the desk. With the AMS lite top mounted; it’ll take up about 3 foot height.
@@DonnyDonnMendoza thanks for dimensions and advice! A bit sceptical about AMS lite mounted on top, because it's 4.5-5 kg weight in total (((
The total length of the machine with the bed to the back is about 18.5", and i recommend that the you have a minimum of 2" past this to your wall but more is better. the bed of the machine will also extend over the front by 3.5", so i would say 24" of space is required for operation. I would not recommend mounting the AMS upside down as it may cause feeding issues, and the ptfe tubes would not be long enough. I have seen people mount the ams to the wall behind the machine. There are designs on makerworldto doo this. If you mount it too far though, you may need longer ptfe tubes, but if the tubes are too much longer, it may cause feeding issues. I can not say that for sure, but it is a possibility you should be aware of. Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have more questions.
@@How2Texan thanks a lot! This is even more than I was asking, appreciate 👍
When I invited you for a few bottles of IPA, I meant BEER!
Haha
Nice vid - But you went from showing setting up the lite ams to the next scene with the external spool already being on top! No showing setting up AND USING the external spool. Can't find a video anywhere that shows me how to do that. Can you make a vid that show how to connect AND USE the external spool?
Just so i understand. You would like a video showing how to use the single spool holder instead of the ams lite? I can tell you that one is all manual and you will need to disconnect one of the tubes from the print head or you will need a splitter to allow you to use an external spool while the ams lite is still fully connected. I can make a video if you need it though.
Thanks for the video, with your delivery I think you could grow this channel a lot.
Regarding cleaning the build plate, do you think a brand new build plate should be cleaned before use? Or should I apply IPA to it?
My a1 gets here next week hopefully :)
I'm glad you liked the video, and thank you for the compliment. In answer to your question. There are many who recommend a deep clean with hot water and dish soap before using a brand new plate. I have personally never felt it necessary to clean a new plate. I am not saying that it doesn't happen, but i have never had to do it. I recommend you just try printing. If you have problems, wash the plate then. Let me know if you have more questions.
What color/brand filament was used to make that that poop bucket? it looks really nice.
Great video by the way
I used MKOEM 2 color change silk PLA silk white to silk saphire blue....wow that is a mouth full of a name 😆 🤣 i will try to find the product link and put it in the video description.
after 7 years of creality splashed out and i brought the a1 what a machine thats all i can lol
Bambu is a game changer. I am convinced you can not get better performance for the price. The p1 and x1 machines are fantastic but still too expensive for most. But this one is at just the right spot. Thanks for commenting. Let me know if you have ideas for future videos.
Give creality credit for what they did do. They made 3d printing accessible to allot of people who otherwise would not have gotten into it. Some of those people have gone on to become youtubers we enjoy watching or make other contributions to the 3d printing community as a whole.
@@UbberMapper a fair point. Thank you for the perspective.
@@UbberMapper is what the anet 8 that got me started in late 2016 creality ender 3 wasnt out then
Great video! I'm having a heck of a time getting a nice "face down" coaster to print on a smooth holographic looking plate similar to the one you show, can you PLEASE share some tips / settings?
Sure, i am assuming the issue is that it is peeling off the bed before the print is done? If so, my first question is, are other prints sticking fine. If they are then it may be model or print settings but if other prints are giving you an issue then have you tried refreshing the bed with IPA or giving it a deep clean with dawn dish soap. I dont know what setting you are using but if your trying to use the lowest layer heights then that might be the problem. This one may sound silly but have you made sure your model it lying flat in the slicer? Sometimes models get saved in weird orentations and can cause problems if not rotated flat. I would like to help more but will need more information to dial into the problem. If you reach out to me on printables we can work it out easier.
Good video, Looking forward to your upcoming A1 videos 👍
Hi! Thanks for video!
You are welcome. Thanks for commenting. Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks mine comes Friday
Congrats, i am sure you will love it.
How close are you to the sun? 😂
I guess that is a comment on my lighting? I know it's not the best 😅. I am trying to improve things; there is just so much to learn. Thanks for the comment.
God dam i wish youtube videos were all like this and not the music, lights and thumbnail surprise face crap it is full of
Thank you for the compliment. I try to keep music in the background most of the time. Just loud enough that you can pick it out when you want to but not so loud that it distracts from the content. I am not sure what you mean by thumbnail suprise face crap though...could you explain?
great vid, thx
Your welcome. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
