Full hot end is pretty useful for quick swaps. Nozzles are useful and can be swapped on the hot ends with some fiddly work. Otherwise just some wear parts you might need in 3-6 months if you print a lot, like the cutter and the nozzle wiper. The interior filter if you care about that. I have a number of other parts that I've never used. Basically I was trying to accumulate all the proprietary parts when the X1C was first on the market, but BL seems to be sticking around so it's not such a worry now IMHO. There are 3rd-party parts starting to be available too. In my experience BL is pretty quick at shipping things quickly if you have some problem. |

I ordered the texture plate and have not used the other plats since. Everything I print on it just sticks. Just wash it first in soapy water and try not to touch it with your bare hands. That will prolong the stickiness until you have to wash it again. |

Yes, the PEI plate has been 100% for me, it's essential. I forgot it wasn't a stock part. |

Just now I printed some spool covers for Polymaker cardboard spools in ludicrous mode and again had zero issues. I still have a lot to learn about Bambu Slicer after coming from Cura but this thing is just a beast. I have a shit ton of new materials on the way, since E-Sun PLA+ was about all I could get to print in my ender without a lot of drama of re-calibration, etc. So far I'm ridiculously happy with this thing. |

Been printing lots with PLA Tough, some PAHT-CF and lots of just PLA. Nice to have mix of colors and types of various projects. |

Originally Posted By Photosarv: I’m looking hard at an X1CC…mostly to goof off for right now. What type of filament do you use the most of and how much should I order? Depends on what you want to do. I print a lot with PETG and ASA. Not as much PLA. I use grey and black PETG, orange, black, and grey ASA, and I have about a dozen or so colors of PLA. I also have a bunch of random rolls. All told I have about 90 spools last I checked. I print a lot though. YMMV. |

I just did my first ever PETG prints yesterday. I only ever did PLA with my Ender 3v2 because I have that fucker dialed in hard for Esun PLA+. Anything else? Problems. X1C with Bambu Lab Basic PETG using their profile? Absolutely perfect prints. I printed some seat belt holders for the rear seats on my Tacoma so the kids don't struggle so much. Obviously in the summer PLA wouldn't cut it in the heat so PETG makes sense. These prints are absolutely flawless. The Glock frame I printed from Bambu Lab PLA-CF is nearly perfect too. By the way, I did some research and the BL branded PLA-CF *is* cleared for use in the AMS. Other brands aren't. I'm not sure about their other CF filaments. Now, using Polymaker filament has been a fucking disaster. No matter what I've tried, I get failures to retract. The wheels just spin. I've used Polymaker's spool cover and I used a couple of other ones I've printed. Nothing works. I'm going to get some electrical tape to try that today. So far though, I've had zero print failures or any issues whatsoever using Bambu Lab filament in the AMS. It just works. Once I get my parts for the Bento Box air scrubber I'm going to load up some ABS and give that a go. |

For Polymaker spools I use the following print https://www.printables.com/model/346325-polymaker-and-duramic-cardboard-spool-adapter Id adapts the polymaker spool to an actual bambu spool (you will need to purchase some empty bambu spools) https://us.store.bambulab.com/collections/bambu-lab-3d-printer-filament/products/bambu-reusable-spool Pretty simple so swap out from cardboard to the plastic Bambu spool (though it does take some care) and it works very well. |

At least your door didn't wind up broken. That seems to be the more common shipping damage.  If the machine shows no other signs of damage and you're ok with it Bambu will send out a replacement panel and maybe a voucher. Otherwise you can go through the return process which can be a hit or miss. |

Otherwise you can go through the return process which can be a hit or miss. I'd be happy with a replacement panel or voucher. No way I would want to replace it. I would actually be just fine with a voucher. I don't need it to be perfect. Just sucks that it was damaged. |

I'm going to get the printer going on a storage box for my fiber laser lenses tonight, then try to organize a little bit. This is where I unloaded out of shipping boxes.

Almost done with my MMU3 setup. It will be fed from a four-spool filament dryer that is compatible with 3kg spools. Looking forward to it. I don't have the dryer yet...shoukd get it in the next month. |
Last night I was setting up to print a bunch of these little AA battery holders. Thought about only doing about half at once, since I figured at least one would get knocked off and screw things up. But hell, let's let 'er ride video 2023 11 29 12 07 36 |

From the Wiki: Added support for model objects being skipped when printing This feature is useful when you are printing a large number of models and one of them fails. In this case, you will be able to select that particular object and ask the printer to ignore it so you can continue printing without losing the other models. There is a new button on the screen interface, next to the Pause button, which can be tapped and an object selection will appear to allow canceling the item which is not printing as expected. Please Note: Skipping objects is not supported in the following situations:
