Good video!! BUT you should never, really never blow out fans that are connected with compressed air so that they rotate!! They work like a dynamo and thus give voltage to the board and can cause short circuits...

Great video and thanks for sharing.

One recommendation though. If using compressed air, use your finger to hold the fan stationary while blowing it out. It is entirely possible to damage the fan bearings by spinning it too fast.

Very comprehensive, thank you! I just followed your steps and got my 6 month old P1S good as new!

Best maintenance video by far! Great work.

[txmexnittro]

Wow, what an awesome video and thanks for sharing!!!!

Useful video. Thanks for sharing.

In my experience printing PLA, you can go way, WAY more than 3 to 4 spools between changing the cutter blade. Probably heavily dependent on how you’re using AMS/switches per layer, but I’ve probably gone closer 100 rolls. FWIW.

This was clear, concise, and extremely helpful.

I've been maintaining linear rails on printers for44 years. Cleaning those rails is always a good idea. The dirt you may never see will resist motion. 44 years ago the motors were weak, so print quality quickly showed big impact. A 3d printer is different than a dot matrix printer, but those linear bearings and chrome plated rails have not changed much. And when maintaining my 3d printers, I can confirm they need it more than the dot matrix printers. quality prints require good maintenance. Good video!

Outstanding video. Great work and I for one certainly do appreciate the information. And thank you for the links.

[JonNewell]

very detailed, thank you. I’d recommend to also clean all the lead screws before re-greasing them, so you’re not putting new grease on top of old grease. A bit like changing the oil in your car rather than just keep topping it up.

Very useful and helpful video. Thanks for sharing!

Super helpful video. My 3-month-old lightly used X1 Carbon printer nozzle seems to be holding onto the filament after going through pre-checks. I print mostly PETG. Going to give it a good cleaning and then look into replacing any required parts to fix the issue.

ive had my p1s for about 3 weeks an this was something i was worried about but im not going to lie. i got 12 other machines that range from kingroons kp3 to sahppire plus or qq-s pro so alot of different types an brands of printers an maintenance is something i didnt really do for any of those brands or what little i did was not near as often as bambu lab recommends for there machines, but im going to do it cause i paid more for this machine an im really enjoying it but all my other printers are still running strong. the p1s is on a different level compared to my older stuff but they are still capable machines but i wouldnt mind selling a couple of them off to get newer printers if not all bambu lab machines, really would like to replace a couple of my bed slingers for one of there a1 to see how well they do compared the p1s, but what really makes the bambu machines so much better is the ams an software.

I found on the Bambu lab wiki they mentioned some brand of grease or Super Lube 92003 Silicone Lubricating Grease with PTFE as an alternative for leed screws.
I printed resealable trays for ams desiccant and used some Dry & Dry orange beads, plus using original desiccant till it used up. But My Ams is only at 10% humidity, I have seen that Slice Engineering makes desiccant for rolls that’s not silica and really powerful at drying Ams.

I enjoyed the friendly video.

Is the grease used in both parts the same product?

[zalllon]

I noticed some things to do once a month and every week. OK, I can start doing that now in month 6, 😮

[StrongBarnes]

Extremely helpful thanks bro...

I gotta say your voice sounds the same as the guy from the "Casually Explained: Is She Into You?" video lmao.
