Comments

  • Ordered the P1S + AMS2 combo for $1400 last deal/month. Now $170 cheaper + includes kit. Good prices

    • Nice

      What's the difference Buffer and hub kits?

      • Hub let’s you connect now than one AMS buffer is single only.

  • +3

    Are these now updated and still forced online and to send data through bambu to use or can we use offline?

    • +4

      They have always had LAN mode available

      • +1

        they tried changing that, look it up

  • +2

    Nice waiting was worth it, will be getting p1s with ams 2 pro

    • Nice, upgrading?

      • First time buyer, was thinking the elegoo centuri and wait for ams to come but with these prices I'll be getting this.

        • Just got my Centauri Carbon last week this would have made the decision harder haha, glad I got 10% off at Jaycar at least. Still no regrets, enjoy your new printer and welcome to the hobby.

          • @badmonkeh: Already have quite a few prints in mind ready to go, a lot of tool holders for the shed, nozzles for certain tools. I do some work with my dad on his 1970 Morris Mini and there is quite a few things i could try design there and the more you think about what you could 3d print that comes to mind :)

            • @Souvis: there's so many people scanning & making custom 3d printed auto parts

          • @badmonkeh: how did you get the 10% off?

  • P1S AMS2 w Hub for $1269 or X1C AMS2 w Hub $2049?

    Anyone know how these combo prices compare to past sales? I’m probably leaning toward a X1C AMS2.

    • First time AMS2 on sale, best time to pick up a Bambu
      P1S vs X1C depends on your requirements

      • +1
        P1S+ Upgrade List to get it close to X1C

        LIDAR and camera upgrades are not feasible without adding obtrusive external components.

        • Panda touch limits you to 1.08 firmware I believe.

          The missing LIDAR seems to be a non issue on many YouTube P1S vs X1C

          It’s really a hard call, if the X1C comes down close to current P1S with AMS2 $1699 I might grab it.

          Otherwise it’s just not worth it according to many reviews I’ve seen.

        • I notice that the BIQU (hardened) gear set is basically the same price as the Bambu labs one (but looks like it's made of metal vs plastic of the Bambu one) - do you know if it is actually better or no real diff?

          If you were only going to get either the Smooth or the Cool plate which is "better"/more useful? I also saw favourable comments re the BIQU CryoGrip Pro plate - do you have any experience with this?

          • +1

            @Remorhaz: I wouldn't worry too much between the BIQU or Bambu hardened gear. Either will work fine.

            I've been using the cryogrip plate on my A1, it's crazy how much it sticks.

            There are compatibility differences with the smooth/glacier. I believe TPU is one that you don't print on the cryogrip.

          • +2

            @Remorhaz: I have never bothered with any of the special plates. I just buy them of Aliexpress. They always seem to stick.

            My tip would be a spray of windex after each print. Has to be the one with ammonia. Isopropyl just spreads the grease from fingers, the windex gets rid of it. Use it with a microfibre.

            • +1

              @bigmicka: Dish soap works great.

              Yeah, the standard gold PEI sheet works fine for most, cryogrip also just lets you run the bed at lower temps but not like it's saving a tonne of energy or time.

              • @impoze: As it gets colder my prints don't still well anymore on the plate, I just went over the plate with a glue stick from my kids and that seems to work for now

              • @impoze: Thanks - contrary to my prior comments I think I'm going to go for the P1S + AMS2 combo (somewhat for the smaller overall footprint - I measured where I wanted to put it and …)

                I'll grab a hardened nozzle or two (maybe 0.4 and 0.6?), and the hardened gears, + a small selection of spools - mostly PLA (Basic, Matte & Silk) and maybe a single PETG Translucent to try later when I've got more experience

                • +2

                  @Remorhaz: Nice, matte filament is my favourite

                  Don't worry, another jayo/sunlu deal will be here soon.

                  And there is also siddament

    • There’s not that many differences between the X1C and P1S and if “Ai detection” is a seller for you it might be worth checking out OctoEverywhere even the free tier has been a god send on my old CR10v2.

      Apart from that the hotend you could buy separately and still be better off.

      • +2

        Just seen that they have integration with Bambu printers too, I'll have to check it out

        https://blog.octoeverywhere.com/setup-bambu-connect-with-doc…

        • Definitely do, I’ve had great success, pushes notifications to MobileRaker and Discord when there’s an issue. Which has only happened once thank god.

  • Which of these would be reccomended for a beginner?

    • A1 mini

      • +5

        A1, bed size is not possible to upgrade, and you will find yourself eventually limited by the 180mm³

    • +3

      I started with an A1 mini, then bought an A1 combo.

      I would buy an A1 combo, the price is better than Black friday price last year.

      Then go look at the Jayo filament sales and pickup some of that.

    • +3

      I'll be contrarian to others and suggest at 669 the P1s. That's 250 less than I paid 18 months ago on special!

      I since bought the AMS and don't value it very highly. I bought mostly so I could use the support filament, but unless the supported surface is flat and horizontal, print times go though the roof.

      • Using PLA as support interface for PETG or vice versa is great and doesn't add too much time as the filament swap is only for the interface layers

        AMS is also great for roll over for near to end spools of filament.

        • Depends on the model I guess, I just checked one and it went from 3h51m to 19h20m. I suppose an extreme case…

          I probably should have just said i don't use as much as I thought I would. Not saying it's useless, not at all, in fact if I can figure out how to get the coupon for AMS2 pro I miight get one for the drying.

          But in the context of question for beginner recommendation, I'm suggesting the P1s is worth consideration over the A1 Combo for about the same price.

          [Edit] Well I can reduce to 10h14m if I re-orient the model. Still a lot..

    • I was in the same boat a few weeks ago. Definitely at least A1

    • A1 imo.

      A1 mini bed is too small. Have to glue stuff together

  • New to 3D printer, only noticing a few of these posted on OzBargain recently. These prices seem similar to that recent deal posted at Amazon Business deal.

    • Yes, best time to buy and you can get accessories at the same time which you can't get from Amazon.

      • hardened nozzles in 0.4 & 0.6mm
      • spare heating assembly
      • Cheers. If I am to buy the A1 combo, is it worth buying those accessories now? What other accessories worth buying from Bambu now while they are on sale?

        • Yes, as you get extra discount when buying at the same time and also save on shipping later.

        • +1

          I've been checking a couple of threads on reddit - the consensus is most extras aren't needed until you actually know what you are doing. I'm following this advice on a P1S purchase, and it's going to save me a lot of optional spending!

          Also, if you are getting the A1, you may not get much out of the hardened nozzles - they are an "optional, but not required" for the filaments the A1 supports. The abrasive filaments that require hardened nozzles aren't recommended for the A1.

          https://au.store.bambulab.com/bundles/all-in-one-hotends-kit…

          There is also an accessory box included - you might want to check contents to avoid doubling up (that said, it doesn't seem to include a spare hotend, so this might be worth getting).

          • @EthicsGradient: sure, marble & glow in the dark are some 'normal' filaments that are technically abrasive too.

            The heating assembly is not essential, but if you ever do get a blob of death, it's good to have on hand to minimise downtime. Saying that, it ships from AU so probably only a few days.

  • +2

    I don't know how Elegoo think $699 is a good price for the Centauri Carbon in Australia.

    Elegoos sales plan in the US with $299 pricing, being half the price of the Bambu equivalent, but not extending that to the rest of the world creates resentment.

    • We need the ebay listings and 20% codes to make the Centauri Carbon competitive

      Looks like a great option though

    • +1

      It's insane isn't it? Same price as the Flashforge AD5M in the US, and here it's double the price. I cant imagine a single person in the know buying one.

      • +1

        Seen a few people buy them from Jaycar, but i'd much rather P1S at the price.

        • But P1S was not at the same price.
          A friend of mine got it like 10 days ago, when sale started.
          He's pretty happy with it though.

          Now, when we know about this sale, i'd agree, P1S looks like a better one

  • +1

    Do you think Amazon will reflect these prices too for stacking with the business discount?

    • +2

      They usually do, and you have time to wait since sale ends July 15

  • +2

    Is it worth it to get x1c, this late in its life cycle? Wondering when the new model is coming out and what features would be missed out on?

    • +2

      What improvements would you need?

      There is a rumoured H1D that which would offer the larger build size.

      • +2

        This is sort of what i am hanging out for.

        I need something to do PC, ASA OR ABS, but with a bigger bed size.

        Making parts for wheelchairs and need the extra strength.

      • I think the industry might be heading towards bigger bed size and dual nozzle, looking at recent trend.

        Might be overthinking it though, would probably just grab P1s with AMS2 combo as that is a great price.

        Nearly bought one in the recent $85off sale.

        • +1

          Dual nozzle looks so good solely for support.

          Wonder how long for it to trickle down

  • Can it print bamboo?

  • +2

    I have the P1S + 2 x AMS (they really are magic!) and after coming from a highly modified Ender 3 these things are as close to plug and play as you can get, even for beginners it's pretty straight forward.

    On X1C vs P1S. The short answer is no. Unless you KNOW you need any of the extra features, you don't and it's not worth it since it's effectively the same printer with a few extras. The coloured screen is nice and far more functional that the basic LCD on the P1 series… you can use Panda Touch or you can build your own XTouch (which I did and added a 2.8" LCD to my P1S)…

    … but then I very very rarely look at it. You basically send jobs from your computer (or Phone) and monitor from there so it's kinda pointless most of the time. Even then, I rarely ever need to press buttons on the machine itself (and usually it's easier on the app). I'm about to remove my LCD and repurpose it for something else (when I work out what that something else is) since it's just wasted sitting there doing SFA).

    Also note that with the recent changes to Bambu's firmware and security, the aftermarket options like the Panda Touch or XTouch may not work for controls anymore (or at any random point in the future). They can still monitor prints, just not control stuff.

  • Keen for a H2D promotion but it's too early on. Perhaps by Christmas.

  • Very much interested in the P1S combo. Thanks for the heads up

  • There are discount codes for the AMS 2 going out, but only if you ordered a P1 or X1 direct from bambu recently. That's a bit of a shame as I would have jumped on the AMS2 to expand my existing AMS

  • As a noob to 3d printing and on a budget, I'm eyeing the A1 mini. What I'd like to know is, is the combo worth the extra $250? If I wanted to make a multi-coloured print, how much of a hassle would it be to swap rolls without the AMS lite? Are there any disadvantages to not having the AMS lite or can I just make do without it and spend on filaments instead?

    • +1

      Go for the AMS Combo of you plan on doing multicolour

      Manual swapping moby be ok for hueforge or simple designs with single colour per layer but not possible for single layer swaps

      • Yes, exactly.

        I would also consider spending the extra and getting a larger bed printer, if you can afford/justify it. You will definitely wish you had a bigger bed at some point. But you can definitely get around having a smaller bed and the mini will be a good printer :)

        • I've got small ideas for now but I'm sure I'll get bit by the bug to get a bigger printer in no time!

    • No way you could do proper Multicolor prints without the AMS. Given the additional time the machine takes to retract, purge, load, extrude for each colour, you would significantly increase the print time, and most likely go insane from standing in front of the printer going this for each of different filament used, per layer.

      Your real question is, do you need Multicolor prints? If you're printing trinkets and toys, probably yes.

      Just be nieve, get the AMS and enjoy how easy Multicolor prints are these days. As little as 3 years ago, what you can achieve now with a $500 printer and AMS combo was unfathomable.

      • Yeah the time factor was another thing I was considering. Having said that, the AMS lite has exposed spools and I read that exposed spools may cause the filaments to absorb moisture. Would this be an issue on the AMS lite?

        • no massive issue for PLA which is going to be the most common filament.

          Once you go to PETG & TPU, then you may want to look at drying the filament in a dedicated dryer, or DIY solution like a food dehydrator.

          Once you have a dryer, there are simple mods to print from the dryer bypassing the AMS lite spool holder.

  • +4

    Real question: What are people doing with 3D printers? Do they just collect dust after the initial surge of interest?

    • +1

      This is the question I’ve been asking. I’ve done some looking around on this and it seems that unless you’re really into printing 3D models or figurines, there’s not that much the every day person needs to print that can’t be purchased online.

      Unless you want to print something very specific, but then again, there’s now 3D printing services that’ll do the one off jobs for you.

      • +2

        have a look at Makerworld or Printables for plenty of inspiration.

        Once you have a printer, one of the first things you will think of is to search an item/subject for 3D prints

      • +1

        It's like anything I suppose, some people want to buy tools to design and make things themselves, others are happy to buy off the shelf. Like… some people buy a sewing machine to make their own clothes or furnishings, some people set up a woodworking shop in their shed, some people fix their own cars, some people build or renovate their own house. It's not always a hobby, sometimes there's money in it too. Could be making something that's part of some larger job, or selling things made using printed parts.

      • As a designer student baby I need it I want it I breathe it … P1 or X tho MMM

    • +4

      I have two an A1 and an A1 mini. Did the initial prints but what it has done is given me an insane creative outlet that I never had before.

      1. My daughter is in wheelchair. I have gone in to CAD and developed accesories for her chair. Holder for her walking frame (when she is up for walking). She loves taking photos but cant hold a camera, developed a mount for a dji pocket camera with a ball joint, so she can move it around. Her old chair did not have a table tray for eating on the go, more cad, more printing.

      2. It became an way my wife and I can share crafts. We went on a disney cruise and they have these optional groups called fishing extenders and pixie dusting. Every gift we gave out came from 3d printing. Coasters, light boxes, keyrings. My favourite was the personalised beads for friendship bands, all in disney font. My wife would go through makerworld, printables, thingiverse looking for what she wanted to make. She is now able to slice prints and change spools on the printer herself.

      3. Around the house repairs and maintenance. We had an old front door intercom system that did not work, and we had a problem with delivery men not knowing whatbour house number was. So replaced the intercom system with a custom house number plate, with a mount for our nest doorbell camera. That intercom system went in to the kitchen, replaced the screen with a nesthub. Towel rail broke in bathroom, 3d printed a replacement wall mount. Organisation for our laundry, check.

      4. Personalised gifts. Last christmas our secdet santa was all 3d printed. Sister is in to golf, built her a model to monogram her balls with her initials. The big one was my brother in law, big star trek fan, so peinted him a suspended enterprise model, 27 hours of printing.

      5. My personal creative bits. Yes i have printed off some models, r2d2, tie fighters and an x-wing. This has now morphed in to what additional can I do. So i have started mixing microcontrollers with 3d prints. I have designed a c3po head with a motion sensor and mp3 player, when you trigger the sensor it plays back c3po quotes, with eyes that flash while it plays. My daughter had a night light that is stupidly expensive with a light and music/sounds that playback, taken that design and built it around the same microntroller. (This one is still in design)

      6. Cyberbrick from Bambu. I have been building remote control cars from the electronic components they provide. This has just opened my mind to what i can do with motors and design outside of that Cyberbrick eco system.

      In the end it is up to you and what you can think up.

  • The more i look at the P1S with AMS 2, I amazed at the $999 price. If you take off GST and convert that price to USD it is $580.

    The same printer is $819 US in their sales. Those tarrifs are crazy.

    • That's P1S Combo with AMS 1

      • +1

        I am going blind in my old age.

  • +1

    My panties are in a twist… Do I need it?

    Looks at my old dusty 3d printer I haven't used in ages …

    …..

    No. But do I want it? Yes yes 🙂‍↕️

    • +1

      Yes, modern 3d printers are a completely different experience.

  • What would people recommend for someone completely new (after a couple days of research :)) to 3D Printing?

    Was tossing up between the P1S AMS2 Combo or the A1 AMS Lite Combo - initially I was leaning towards the P1S but now I'm moving back towards the A1

    I'm aware of the main "on paper" differences between the two but having no practical experience …

    I don't have any specific reason for getting the printer or things I'd want to print - more just to begin the hobby I guess, so e.g. I'm unsure how likely it would be that I'd want/need to use ABS, ASA, etc; whether the drying capabilities of the AMS2 would even be necessary/useful (e.g. in Sydney and using just PLA/PETG); whether people actually use the crap screen on the P1S day to day vs the nice touch screen on the A1; whether the easy nozzle swap on the A1 and easier maintenance makes a real world diff vs an enclosed unit; and so on :)

    On top of the printer and AMS - any recommendations on any other initial kit worth getting out of the gate to begin with - e.g. included in the initial order/delivery esp if it's also on sale? (e.g. hardened hotend(s), different sized nozzles, initial filaments/types to try, plate(s), hardened extruder gear, essential spare parts, etc)

    • +1

      A1 combo.
      Nozzles, wipers, silicon socks, filament cutters and maybe a spare gear would be good to have on hand for starters.

      It would be good to grab some filament, it's tuned to their machines so it's basically a load and go experience.

    • +2

      If you can go for it, the P1S AMS2 Combo is a great buy and you will be ready to print engineering filaments. Fully enclosed, smaller foot print & Core XY has benefits over bedslinger.

      Remember that ABS, ASA and others are toxic so you do need to have ventilation. These also have their own printing challenges like warping.

      The A1 AMS combo is perfectly capable for most people printing PLA, PETG & TPU.

      The printers come with a few spares already in the box, and some of them are stock e.g. A1 already has hardened gears. I would just add extra nozzles to save on shipping and get extra discount on purchase - hardened 0.4, & a 0.6 would be a good start.

      They ship from an AU warehouse, so if you do ever get a blob a replacement heating assembly is only 2-3 days away.

      • What about X1? Would it still need ventilation ?

        • Yes, you can run filters like bento box but still needs ventilation to be safe

      • Thanks - I was tempted by the P1S but I'd read with the AMS 2 Pro that you can't dry while printing anyway (or even have the filament loaded in many cases), more sensitive to spools (e.g. cardboard) vs Lite, and maybe more waste with filament/colour changes vs the Lite? and am concerned with the less functional display

        Q: do most people even use the screen in day to day use or do they just use the app (desktop/phone)?
        Q: do most filaments sold (e.g. the Jayo, etc) come on the hard plastic spools or are cardboard ones common?

        I figure at about half the cost the A1 combo looks to be almost on par for a complete beginner especially (and get an external dryer if it becomes necessary)? main downside seems to be large footprint?

        Q: what are real world expectations on needing to keep filament dry (PLA & PETG I guess mostly) - e.g. in Sydney - is it a thing I really have to be concerned with all the time or generally not an issue? e.g. my basic humidity sensor in this room seems to show humidity is between 45-65% over the past month

        Q: What are thoughts on getting the Essential Consumables Kit - A1 - seems to have a bunch of useful stuff (including some items others have mentioned) and 30% off?

          AMS 2 Pro
          • Drying while printing is not a massive deal with typical filaments, you can store dessicant inside which make it act as a dry box after dried.
          • Haven't seen too many cardboard spools. If you're buying JAYO/SUNLU spools, they are all plastic. Same with Bambu filament.
          Screen

          Screen is handy but most of the time you are monitoring from bambu studio, phone app or other camera. On the AMS, it's useful to set the different filaments in the AMS but just as easy to do on app.

          I don't recall ever start a print from the screen, always from bambu studio

          Drying filament
          • PLA is mostly fine and doesn't need drying.
          • PETG is more prone to moisture, even from the packet it can already have moisture build up which will cause stringing & inconsistent surfaces.
          • TPU is highly recommended to dry before printing

          It's not essential to have a dryer from the start, especially if you're mainly printing PLA.

          Essential Kit
          • it's not essential to get this, the kit already comes with a few spares.
          • PTFE, silicone sock cheap from Aliexpress
          • You are better off with different size nozzle - hardened 0.6 or 0.2
          • @impoze: Thanks very useful

            I was planning on getting hardened nozzles - I noticed for the A1 you can get a 4 pack (of your choice) also currently on 30% off special (so I could get all 4 sizes or some other combo)

            Q: Do I just swap out the nozzle for a hardened one straight up and use it all the time or do I only use them when printing abrasive filament?

            If I got the A1 combo I noticed there's Models for both top mounting the AMS Lite as well as ones to completely enclose the spools + with desicant holders inside which I figured I could print and make up for some of the limitations?

            • +2

              @Remorhaz: Just leave the hardened in full time

              Top mount is definitely the way to go.

              I never bothered with the enclosed print as found it wasn't necessary.

              Better off just taking off the spools and putting in the vacuum bag of not using that roll for a while.

              I've had PLA left on the AMS for weeks no issue.

  • Maybe also add the extra discount on filament to the OP. 10 rolls come down to $17 each for refills and $22 each with spools - and for every 4 refill rolls, you get a free spool if you need that.

    And yes, you can mix and match and still get the discount as long as you buy 10+ rolls.

    Still nowhere near as cheap as Jayo, but they have a much better ranger of colours, and if you use an AMS, they come with the NFC tags, which I think are worth about $1 each for the convenience (also, you can remove the tag once you run out and attach it to any spool as long as the colour and material match).

    • added, not too bad. Apparently Sunlu has a 3rd spool version which is compatible with Bambu refills.

      They also haven't listed their own refills yet, hopefully soon.

  • Does the bambu site charge you in AUD? I think I read that it doesn't?

    • +1

      it is in AUD but the charge is overseas so yes, use a card with no fees.

      • -1

        Any way to pay in USD to avoid the currency conversion?

        • +1

          It's not a conversion as such but the charge is from overseas so some banks may charge a fee.

          This is usually refunded if you dispute it though

          • @impoze: Dispute with BambuLab or your bank?

            • @Pest85: Bank, usually they refund it.

              Otherwise, use a card with no fee

      • Don't they support PayPal? Paypal wouldnt care about overseas charge, would it?
        What's the point of paying directly by card?

  • First time printer here, looking to get their first 3D printer. Currently considering the P1S, or splurging to get P1S + AMS + hub. Which would you recommend? Is the AMS + hub a big quality of life improvement?

    • AMS is a massive QOL improvement.
      - 4x filament ready to go, saves swapping spools every time.
      - Auto rollover - if a spool runs out it will auto load the next spool (Have the exact same filament configured - type and color).
      - Dry box/dehumidifier (AMS 2)

      If you have the cash, definitely go for the AMS up front.
