ATTENTION! There seems to be someone answering your comments doing a fake giveaway in my name! THIS IS A SCAM AND NOT ME! Don't reply and don't send this person money for shipping!

[BHxr]

this device actually looks professional compared to 99% of the other printers at this price point

[hullinstruments]

My God this is impressive. As a systems engineering….. I dream about shit like this and the years it takes to come up with, design, and troubleshoot systems like this. This is absolutely brilliant and I hope nothing but success for them!

[MAYERMAKES]

Little correction, you don't invest on KS, you donate to the project. That's a key difference regarding liability.

[marsgizmo]

Excellent highlights Stefan 👏
I also think this one will finally push the innovation level in our community!

[SquishyThing]

Had this machine for a month or 2 now and I love it. The quality even on ludicrous mode is unmatched.

[MegaWillbot]

A team of master engineers designing an entire printer from the ground up is a beautiful thing

[MitchM]

Fun looking back at this a year later. X1 Carbon is still king!

[lspostma]

"Nothing on this printer is half-assed..." That is the best phrase used for a 3D printer I think I have ever heard. Awesome review. I am seriously tempted to get in on this Kick-start campaign just to play with it. Maybe I could finally get into multi-material or multi-color printing. Carbon would be my choice with the MMS option.

It's been 6 months, we have heard in several of your videos that you use this as your daily workhorse. Would you mind doing a 6 month review at this point? I think a lot of people would appreciate it!

Guess this finally shows what you should get with Prusas price tag. Those machines are 10 years behind.

[brightnovastar]

I backed this printer... let me state that first. However I don't feel it's fair to say Prusa doesn't innovate. Nearly every printer out is a clone of the Prusa, and they like Apple or android make small iterations and grow their business over time. That being said... the Bambi lab X1 carbon blew me away... all the features are just overwhelming... I'm so happy they are positioning themselves to be the next standard. In 10 years we will look and see many clones of this printer... because if manufacturers like Creality or Elegoo don't respond, they will be forgotten. Great video as always! I love your content.

Holy whit i would have guessed 4 times the price tag. This is mad! I really hope they pull this off and therefore raise the stakes within the 3d printer market

[GavinSeim]

Great video. This looks cool. But a non-user replaceable nozzle is kind of a buzz kill. This seems so complicated that it's going to have problems and they did not build it with service in mind.

[MihaiDesigns]

Awesome detailed video as always. Thank you for your hard work, Stefan! 🤘

I’ll buy one as soon as it’s available to ship from their website. This printer will complement my Method-X perfectly (the Method-X’s heated chamber allows me to print large PC parts at 95% infill with perfect flatness and the DEX setup means that I don’t have to watch $170/kg support filament get pooped out the back end of the machine). What this machine will give me over the Method-X is speed, build size, and a not-terrible software experience. I expect this machine will perform all my printing outside of large solid pieces in warp prone materials. I’ll order an AMS if it can be modified to fit Prusa and 3DXTech spools.

[bitsfornoobs]

Saved the best for last! Excellent review. Every 3D printer manufacturer should be worried, starting with Prusa and their 8 bit boards. Everyone got complacent. If this doesn’t get you excited about 3D printing again I don’t know what can. The bar has been raised. Welcome BAMBU LABS! It can only get better from here!

Just received my X1c and it is truly awesome. So fast that videos don't do it justice. It has worked very well out of box. This machine exudes quality and polish and I am very happy with it.

There have been a few small bugs:

Using polyterra pla the default profile under extrudes by a small amount (this is an easily tuned software parameter in Bambu Studio). This was how I fixed the somewhat common X1 problem of top layer gaps.

I have had a few errors where the Z axis failed to home and the printer thought the motors were overloaded. A recent firmware update appears to have fixed this.

And I've had a few instances where the ams has pushed filament off the side of the spool when retracting and then when it tries to push that filament into the printer the ams binds up and asks for you to come fix it. In fairness this is with cardboard spools (which they don't recommend with the AMS).

The included bed sticks WAY too well and gluestick is an absolute requirement, but you need to reapply very frequently. They sell a textured PEI bed on their site that I'm sure would address this, but you do need a bambulab bed because there is a special section of the bed that the X1 will clean it's nozzle against, so generic beds won't work.

These small problems aside, this machine is lightyears ahead of anything else on the market and if you have the money I highly recommend it.

[timschafer]

If this machine delivers what it promises that would be amazing, but i hope it is friendly to modding/upgrading/repairing without too many proprietary parts. I really like the auto calibration part and hope that such a unit might be availble for other printers too maybe even open source.

[tenchuu]

This is exactly the kind of review I wanted! Especially that you mentioned passive cooling and the noise. So few creators discuss it! Vielen danke!
