Automate your Bambu Lab P1 & X1! Free & Easy

Automate your Bambu Lab P1 & X1 using only your slicer and stock parts with this in-depth tutorial. I have been using this setup for nearly three years, 3D printing thousands of designs throughout day and night with custom continuous printing and ejection codes.

Go visit this videos sponsor PCBWay at:

This guide includes every trick and tip I have learned along the way, free G-code files for you to use, and a few original ideas I haven’t seen anywhere else.

Hopefully, this will save you lots of “pick off and restart” work in the long run for parts that you are printing over and over again.

Would people be interested in seeing this for the A1 / A1 mini?

If yes, I'll think about doing a little video for these as well.

Note: Please keep the comments in english, this way everyone can participate in discussions. I will also prioritize answering english comments.

I have absolutely no use for this, but I’m baffled that’s it’s even possible and how well you explained it all.

[Weeble_Warbles]

This guy's content is absolute gold.

This is outstanding.

One note, this process is great for prints that don't have much surface contact with the bed. However, if you have a very flat and wide model, even with the the PEI plate it may not fully release.

I've seen other loopers fix this by including a block in the bottom front of the printer and lowering the bed down to it. The purpose of the block is to touch the small tab in front of the build plate but not the bed, so when the bed height is just below the block, the block will slightly lift and flex the build plate, adding some extra release assistance.

You have no idea how I have waited for your next video. You have literally up our slicing game with your last 3 videos

Thank you, that's excellent info! I'm not even looking to automate my prints (although it's good to see it would be pretty easy), I just want to shorten the excruciating 7.5-minute start dance. Your walkthrough of the default start G-code and what edits to do saved me a lot of time and effort figuring it out!

I'll leave the purge line in for my normal prints, but I'll make it shorter, more sensible, and easier to peel off. I can't believe the default purge line is so bad! The oozing filament messes up the nozzle, and the last line that it extrudes always seems to leave a 20cm long hair hanging from the nozzle just when it's starting the actual print.

Toller Workflow. Danke, dass Du das mit uns teilst. Ich brauche sowas zwar nicht, aber das das überhaupt funktioniert ist schon eine tolle Sache.

[SpeedRunningStartups]

FIrst of all, thank you, this is super great for people like me.
second of all.... PRINTING UPSIDE DOWN IS

[ShimmyX]

Dude you are a genius! Great video! Love the super in-depth guide, and the pacing is perfect! Not too fast, not too slow that you'd fall asleep :D

[bmickle]

Really love and appreciate the depth and classic german humor! I also have no use for it at the moment but still watched to the end because of the thoroughness of your explanations!

Your channel should have at least 200x the number of subscribers when taking into account the ingenuity and usability of your videos!
I used your tips from the last video to optimize my own Etsy Bestseller and it saved me around 18% of filament and print time which means that I now get 10 parts out of a full spool instead of only 8 and being left with unusable left overs.
Thank you so much for your awesome work👏

I didn´t understand much of it but I can still appreciate it when someone who knows what they´re talking about. I tried the start up code and it went from over 6 minutes prepare time to just over 2 minutes without any problems. Thank you!

This is brilliant! Someone should create a website where users can upload their .3mf file, select the desired cool-down time, choose their printer model (e.g., X1C, P1S, etc.), and specify how many repetitions they need. The site would then work its magic and generate the ready-to-download G-code for their specific printer.

If I had the skills, I’d absolutely be on board to help develop something like this!

I got my first 3D printer a week ago (P1S), looked up how to get clean prints and found you. Now I've watched all your videos and feel like I've learned a lot, so here's to hoping my next print is gonna be amazingly clean (and optimized)! I've tried printing some geometric low-poly stuff, but 2/10 large parts come out with (based on what I've now learned) 3/5 over-extruded facets and 1/10 of the smallest parts with a warped bottom layer. Sooo.. Time to dive into the slicer and see if I can't fix that with this new knowledge!
Thank you!

DUDE I've learned more in the few videos you've made than hundreds of youtube hours put into many videos out there... THANKS !!!!

So much info. So well presented. So few distracting ads and sponsors. You are a mensch, and you earned the like and subscribe. Cheers.

Man well presented and awesome advice. 12 Xmas ornaments jobs x 3 ornaments per job. All ejecting and no stopping. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[chadyount]

I came from Tiktok and I've loved this idea of automation since I got a 3D printer

[Th_Normie]

I have no idea what I just watched, but my man automated an upside down printer using Notepad++. Subscribed.

[borisbommen]

Works great for me and solves a big issue. I want to donate something to you because this saves me buying more printers...I really appreciate the work you put in this! Thanks again!
