Hey guys! seems like you guys cant stop talking about Bhaam-Booo printers. so this question is about filaments. I like how manufactures clearly label their filaments what type of filament it is(PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA so on) but what I dont like is how different brands/manufactures filaments differ from one another... NOT ALL PLAs are SAME PLAs even though the TYPE and COLOR are the same. so that makes me quest...

Howdy!  I just wanted to comment about the last podcast it was mentioned when you put a Bambu printer in LAN only mode bypassing the cloud it asks you for the 10 digit code.  It doesn't do that anymore, you just have to enter the code once and it remembers it now. Leith

In Canada today, a Prusa MK4 is $1099 CAD, Bambu's A1 is $719, or Creality is selling the Ender 3 V3 KE for $399. All 3 are bed slingers ca...

This Episode's Questions:

It seems to me that the 3D printer market is going to split into two types; the enclosed ecosystem (Apple) and the open source type (Android). Companies like Bambu want the enclosed ecosystem to build appliances that maximize profit potential. I'm OK with that because there is good value to consumers for products that “just work” and you guys clearly like your P1P's and P1S's. My only problem with that is ...

This Episodes Questions:

 I want to make this printer as safe as possible but it will require a lot of power.  AC powered heat beds are getting more and more common but every video I watch on the topic makes a point to talk about SSRs failing with the power on (closed circuit?) even when talking about high quality and over-spec SSRs.  A thermal fuse will prevent a melted bed but then I still have a potentially dangerous situation w...

Hey guys, so, I wanted some advice. I've been looking to get a Bambu Lab printer but I'm wondering if it's worth the jump from the P1S to the X1C. For me, I run a small print farm for a vendor fair/craft show business. I print primarily PLA, PETG, and TPU but I enjoy enclosed printers so the P1P and A1 are out of the picture for me. I've watched review after review and some people love the P1S, some don't, ...

I would be interested to hear you guys discuss safety with respect to fumes and plastic particles. I'm planning to park my EV3SE on a tall cabinet close to a large bathroom vent fan but I can already see the attraction of an enclosed CoreXY machine for better capture and control of fumes and particles.

I recently found your podcast, which has quickly become one of my go-to pods when commuting to and f...

This Episodes Questions:

I really like the deep dives you guys do on the individual components and systems that make up a printer. It seems to me that hot ends seem to be the 3D printer-specific components that are advancing the quickest. Do you agree? If not then what is? James

Hi guys,I'm from Tulsa, OK.I love the podcast! I love how you all approach things from a little different angle. It makes for a fun and engaging podcast.Wh...

Hey guys, I just bought a Mosaic Palette 3 pro, it works great and I’m making lots of thing with it; I’ve been seeing people printing color lithophanes with Bambu printers I and I want to print my own with my palette, is it possible to make them with palette? And if yes, how? Thanks guys, Altair

For best print quality, and by quality I mean dimensional accuracy, surface finish and structurally sound parts, ...

This Episodes Questions:

Hey guys, First of all, thanks so much for the podcast. I really enjoy the banter and the in-depth analysis you guys offer. With MMU's being so popular and with Bambu Lab's intro into the market with the AMS, I was immediately intrigued at the ability to hit a button and generate a multi-color print. However, in looking into it, I noticed the waste it was producing and just can't bring myself to pull the tr...

Hello Guy, Nathan, and JJ, I might be interested in purchasing a 3d printer before the end of 2023. I have some experience with printers, but still kinda a beginner with them. I have previously owned a Bambu lab P1P and a Creality Ender 3 v2. If I wanted to purchase another printer this year, what are some great options $700 or less($700 before tax, so including Bambu p1s). If I do get one, I think I might ...

This Episodes Questions:

Hello Guy, JJ, and Nathan, I was wondering if you could discuss the idea that the 3d printing "hobby" has come full circle from the early days of the Stratasys machines to the current crop of machines from BambuLab, Creality, Qidi, Flashforge and the myriad other manufacturers that aren't making "Open Source" machines. Also what are you thoughts about keeping some parts closed while open sourcing other part...

Another dedicated aussie listener, hey guys, thanks for a great podcast. My question is, I recently purchased a K1 Max, not many issues except hot end blockages 3 in as many weeks, it’s even causing under extrusion and have to disassemble the hot end to clear it out, thing is it seems to line the inside just above the nozzle which seems impossible to clear, any advice would be much appreciated, is it me the...

Other than a great discussion on the new Bambu Labs A1, here are this episodes questions:

Based on a previous question you guys helped with, company I am consulting with purchased a Bambu X1 Carbon.  We are successfully producing salable nylon/carbon fiber parts for ultra light canoes.   Very happy with our purchase. So - next question.  Thinking of second printer.  What are the gains you would get in the $1500 to $2500 range.  Is ...

This Episodes Questions and Comment:

From: Michael Banicki   Listening to your last episode I heard you talking about the labor intensive art of creating profiles for different slicers for different printers and materials. One thing I have found is that many of your 3D model websites like printables will also have downloads for different slicers and materials and printers on them as well. Such as you can search for k1 Max profile o...

This weeks listeners questions:

Hey guys, love the podcast! Leveling - Spring, silicone spacers, wheel locks, use a piece of paper, use a feeler gauge, etc.... for those of us that don't have a BambuLab printer or some machine that auto-levels for you in that there are NO leveling wheels to adjust, what is your guys' step-by-step process for getting a good level? Set Z-height, manual level, auto level? Use a piece of paper to gauge...

Good Morning/afternoon/evening JJ, Nathan, and of course, Guy! I hope that you are all doing well and Nathan hasn't burned down down his studio yet. Love the podcast and all the content each of you are making. The different perspectives is really interesting to see and hear from you three. My question is pretty simple. With all the hype about CoreXY machines lately, and people wanting to print faster, why a...
