  • Not as drastic as I had hoped, but it looks like around 5% better layer adhesion provided you increase the flow rate slightly to fit in the gaps. It essentially makes a print that’s more solid in the walls.

    I saw elsewhere someone doing prints with transparent filament and they were also getting optically better prints with this.

    Also, there’s a pull request on Orca… Not sure when it’ll come out, but they’re working on building it into the slicer.











  • Nope, you’re missing the point entirely. There’s absolutely nothing stopping me from walking into the other room, tearing apart my X1C and rebuilding it with, let’s say a klipper board, except that it works quite well at the moment… No printer bought right now is likely to be any different in that respect. You’re trying to act like it’s an i-phone, but it just isn’t.

    Ten years… Someone apparently thinks they’re funny. I’d like to see their ten year old 3d printer that is still essentially using stock or equivalent components and hasn’t been essentially re-engineered from the ground up. Are you enjoying manually leveling that bed with thumbscrews and a scrap of paper? Still printing on tape, or maybe a piece of glass? This whole hobby is still moving relatively quickly and I wouldn’t be surprised to wind up working with additional axes or other unpredictable innovations ten years from now. Certainly we’ll have gone through multiple “ultimate” build surfaces by then.




  • There are already several aftermarket suppliers making parts for them, including a drop-in e3d hot end. Look, I generally prefer open source designs, but the hassle-free workflow with an X1C has been worth it.

    Also, they sold a PILE of these things, I suspect aftermarket support will continue even if Bambu stops.





  • Looks interesting. My primary focus is on engineering materials, but I’d love a truly biodegradable draft filament and I’m willing to put in a bit of time working out how to make it work with my equipment. Looking at Colorfabb’s site, it appears they only sell it in 750g spools which is incredibly frustrating considering my intended use. For a draft filament, the bigger the roll, the better!
