Me (a fool) VS. Bambu Lab X1-Carbon (foolproof?) // X1C Combo Initial Impressions

I tried out the Bambu Lab X1-Carbon Combo 3D Printer and it pretty much blew my mind. Watch along to see my experience setting it up, printing a bunch of things, and making a few mistakes!

Thanks to Bambu Lab for sending me their X1-Carbon in exchange for sharing my honest experience with the printer, as well as FixDry with their NT1 Filament Dryer.

So far I've had my X1C for 3 months and I have been printing nonstop. I LOVE this printer, it blows away every other printer I've ever used.

Hi! I think your stopping issue was just because of a bad slicing/software thing, like a bug.
For the crooked nozzle, I recommand you to use gyroid infill instead of grid one. This infill tends to make the nozzle cross sections where filament has already been filed (so a little bit too thick). 90% of crooked nozzle I saw on internet happened because of that.
Happy printing!

I went from an Ender 3 and cr10 to a Bambu P1S and I am not disappointed! I feel like Bambu is like the Apple or 3D printing. Perhaps less ways to tinker with it, but it just works. After tinkering with Creality printers for a while, the P1S is like a breath of fresh air when it comes to 3d printing. Looking forward to more Bambu x1 vids Devon!

I got a p1p last year upgrading from my anycubic i3 mega, and wow, every new printer I get has gotten better obviously, but bambu lab has been the most streamlined process I’ve used with printing so far. I love the auto bed leveling, and I love how if things go wrong it’ll detect it and pause the print. Super nice!

[neebick]

The ease of switching filaments with the ams is so great. I love that I can plan filament changes for my next print and prep while a print is going. I don’t even print multicolor very often beyond the first couple layers. Just the convenience has proven its worth for me.

Dude I don’t see many of your videos anymore but everytime I do I remember exactly why I love your channel, its so chill but also very detailed. Love your stuff man and congratulations on the move!

[Zai]

Lol love the smoking jacket! You look like a wizard!
I am very much enjoying where 3D printing is going! Automating all those things is great!

I vacuum seal my filaments in the bags after drying them. Then I stick the bags into another large, clear box with dry bead in screen bags.. huge difference in my prints.

[rosachavez]

You are so creative, generous in your designs and the sky is the limit... Amazing channel, Thanks Devin!!!

[CoolerCream]

I loved how you pointed out the holes on the filament roll. I was so happy someone noticted!😁

[Lolatronn]

The engineers at Bambo Labs probably had a heart attack when they saw the footage of you "lubricating" the z axis.

[lilypower]

Welcome to Sweden! Had no idea you were moving here! Välkommen!!!

[BeetleBuild]

Ive been on the edge of ordering an X1 Carbon... but now Im just waiting on the AMS hub to restock. The timing of your video could not have been better. 😀

[NETBotic]

Holy crap. I've had this printer for 3 months and now I wonder if I used the thermal grease instead of the lubricating grease too. I'm afraid to look. Thanks!

[nicoletbn]

Given that your bottle only had color on one plane, printing it on its side would have absolutely minimized the quantity of swaps, maybe worth a try!

[FranklyWry]

Thanks for taking the hits for us, saving us from some difficulties.

At 16:14. PLEASE DO NOT USE PC THERMAL PASTE ON YOUR HOTEND! They are not formulated to be able to handle such high temperatures. Use something like boron nitride thermal paste (I get mine from Slice Engineering) or thermal paste that is formulated to be able to handle at least 300-400 degrees celsius.

Looking forward to seeing what you do with all the purge material. Some kind of recycling thing perhaps.
Great video. Keep up the good work.

[MahBor]

Would love to see some vlogs/ impressions about Sweden

[rodrigob]

Just wait until you try the A1-mini!
You will be surprised how great a sub 400 USD printer is these days!
The price to user-experience-excellence ratio is insane.
