3:40 exactly what I am working on doing now. Since it runs klipper it should be possible to have the printer do multiple procedures at the same time. You can also have it use a known and more dialed in mesh for the bed.
I think it has to wait for the bed leveling until everything is heated up so that any thermal expansion can be compensated. Like the tare button on a scale. Can't tare until the vessel is on it.
Exactly. The guy is trying to push for everything to be done at once for speed, but you know precision robotics hardware that runs under high temperatures simply cannot achieve high precision unless it's calibrating under the conditions it will be printing in. The bed takes by far the longest to heat because it is a large mass of metal. And the bed heating starts FIRST in the chain of preflight steps. The only other thing to heat up is the extruder and that is so quick it wouldn't matter when you start doing it. Maybe they could streamline the process a little, but I really doubt the gains would be that substantial. It just is what it is. It's like asking NASA to hurry the hell up and put the damned rocket in the sky in five minutes.
Not completely true. A lot of the functions could be sped up and synced much better. But I am sure this will happen in future firmware upgrades and it is actually not bad enough to be a problem. My main concern is that the nozzle runs over the silicone cleaning pad cold as this will certainly do damage one day. Ah well, then I buy a new pad.
Had some teething issues, but I love mine, essentially no problems. Handles almost any material great. The accuracy and quality are phenomenal. Can print with essentially no VFA as well.
I do have the Plus4 and the X1C carbon. For my engineering materials the X1C is not good enough, certainly missing the chamber heating. And it goes downhill fast if you do not stick to BL filaments. I saved up for the next Gen BambuLab printer but after the latest force firmware upgrade of BL, I right away bought the Plus4 and will sell the X1C. Am very happy so far, the print quality of the +4 is very close on the level of the X1C with PLA and PETG and top notch with PET-CF, ABS-GF, PC, PA and ASA-CF. And these are not Qidi or BL products, but affordable Siddament filaments.
It has been a great printer for me. I do tons of ABSGF and love this printer. The price is right, it simply just works very well no matter what I throw at it it keeps on chugging along.
My first printer. I like it, but after 70 hours of printing I have already replaced the nozzle cooling fan under warranty and now my side blower of the part is rattling. And another disadvantage is that sometimes for some reason it resets z offset value to zero.
I buy plus4 begin of November, it works fine up to 200 hours when it refuce to start. First I think it got bad power supply but it works when disconnected from motherboard. After several hours of seeking fault, I find that unplugging cable from motherboard to printhead let it boot up but if plugged then nothing. Maybe its just burned circuitboard? But to my horror, there were more: Z axis steppermotor cable has broken insulator, it has long cuts on it so inner wires were visibly, outer insulator was missing 10mm part and cut in half longer. What cause it, was it faulty cable from manufacturer or was it broken when installed? It doesn't move so it should be perfecs. AND there is more. From motherboard 3 wire cable (black,blue,brown) go towards filament tube... well someone who assembled this machine push screw trough that cable! Unbeliewable. Even one fault is not acceptable but several is really serious quality problem. I am sad because this printer do really good job but manufacturing quality is not so good.
In any printer the long start up time is what kills me every time. When I just want to quickly print out a small spacer which needs 1.5 grams of plastic and I have to wait forever just to start it...
Hi, I just started using mine so your review is a relief. :) I immediately limited max speed to 150mm/s to make it last longer. On max speed the entire printed resonated like crazy. At what speed do you use yours and what maintenance have you done to it (like nozzle head bearing or anything)?
Yea, I mostly print slow speeds because I'm printing ASA and PETG, but I've had to do zero maintenance on it so far apart from just adding grease to the rails. I did experience the cooling fan on the bottom of the tool head making a vibrating noise while running, but I think it's just a screw loose.
@@Buildprime_x Thanks! Do you know how to fix this idiotism that when I start a "load filament / filament replace" it does a little bed leveling first. For what???
No, actually changing the nozzle isn't too bad, the hotend is accessible. changing the extruder might be more difficult, because its not as exposed as other printers
I'm trying to talk myself out of getting one seems to good to be true the only thing i can see better about the BBL carbon X1 is they have a few more good build plates but thats not really enough
The Display is so Slow, And now my rearing in the hotend house is allso finish. Qidi Tech don`t care, I can ship it back on my own cost. Great Support.
1. Stick the plate into a freezer at below 0° for 10 minutes, works with textured and smooth plates. 2. The display, it is an USB controlled display with no HDMI on the controller. CON: Controller, no HDMI, Mechanical linear rod not linear rails, modified Klipper not full Klipper - For the price a good deal, replace the controller and display with a BTT Manta M4P + Raspberry PI CM4002008 + full klipper - He never mentioned his maintenance schedule on the linear rods.
Agree. I hope that quality is better or did I receive really rotten lemon? look my longer text in comments. Argh, so frustrating. Good printer but too many problems.

Beautiful
very happy w/mine, especially in light of the recent Bambu lockdown news
That was why I viewed this video, looking for a replacement and this is close
I was this 👌 close to buying an X1C. NOPE.

Yes, very true. Hopefully we can get quicker soon

Who would've guessed a bambulabs printer works worse if you don't use their filament (that has a sensor in the filament roll) 😅

Totally agree

Yea, sorry to hear. I did experience some minor rattling too, but nothing too major

Yes, if you can print at 600mm/s surely they can work out a way to do all that faster too.
Hi, I just started using mine so your review is a relief. :) I immediately limited max speed to 150mm/s to make it last longer. On max speed the entire printed resonated like crazy. At what speed do you use yours and what maintenance have you done to it (like nozzle head bearing or anything)?

I have read that changing the nozzle is a nightmare. Have you had that problem?
I’ve changed my for a tungsten one and it was really easy
No, actually changing the nozzle isn't too bad, the hotend is accessible. changing the extruder might be more difficult, because its not as exposed as other printers
Not true. Changing the nozzle is super easy and fast. The hardest part is getting the silicone sock off.
I'm trying to talk myself out of getting one seems to good to be true the only thing i can see better about the BBL carbon X1 is they have a few more good build plates but thats not really enough
Yea it all comes down to temperature.
Bambu isn't hot enough yet, so you can't print as strong parts.
The Display is so Slow, And now my rearing in the hotend house is allso finish. Qidi Tech don`t care, I can ship it back on my own cost. Great Support.
I like mine but they had to send me a new front panel bottom hinge brook all good new design of hinge mount.
Interesting video, would love to learn more about 3D Printing
Keep uploading more videos

Yes, that's true
It’s a sensational printer for the money.
What slicer are you guys using with this?
Orca is the best so far. The Qidi slicer isn't comprehensive enough
Cool! Thanks for the heads up!
coming from a ender 5 plus this a spaceship

15 to 20 minute to level is lame
