Bambu Buffer Cable Out of Stock

[Ptra]

Is there any way to replace the 260mm 4 pin buffer cable for the P1S printer to the AMS buffer? The cable needed continues to be out of stock.

Now the rant. I have purchased 2 Bambu printers based on reputation and they have been very good to date. What these reviewers should add to the review is how bad the distribution of parts and filament really is. You say you are honest in your reviews even though Bambu sent you the printer, then be honest about everything.

I have been waiting to buy a 260mm 4 pin buffer cable and it has been out of stock for a while. It is not out of stock on Canada or the Europe. This is a $4 cable. If that is due to the tariffs, add the tariff into the cost and sell it for $8 or $10 with an explanation and I would still buy it.

I have seen other printers, parts, and filament out of stock as well. I have stopped buying Bambu filament, I got tired of waiting for it to be stocked and I have gotten used to setting up other filaments I will probably not go back. If the printer was not so good I would have sold them on eBay at a loss and and gone with another brand. If I can’t fix this cable issue I just might.

The store says they will be in stock in 2 days, I’d suggest just waiting.

Since someone else is going to but maybe not as nicely I will try to be more diplomatic.

Have you owned any other brand of 3D printer?

They update the site every two days to extend it out another two days. I am sure you are right they will be in stock at some point. If you needed a cable you would be frustrated as well.
What difference is having used any other printer? I am not concerned with Prusa, Any Cubic, Elegoo, my complaint is with Bambu. I would not post about another printer brand on a Bambu forum. Someone will ask but I will do it nicely; Have you posted questions/concerns about other printer brands on the Bambu forum?
I do own an Elegoo Centauri Carbon and an Elegoo resin printer Saturn 4 Ultra. So to answer your question, yes I have used another printer.

If you are desperate and they keep not stocking it, you could use reship.com, I have and they are very reliable. Vancouver reship gets them in about 2 days from Bambu and ships it to you the next day.

This is your entire quote, you are suggesting reviewers are not being honest in their reviews.

Relative to any other manufacturer, Bambu parts availability to the US is not just good, it’s unrivaled. So their reviews are “honest”. What other manufacturer has anything like Bambu’s stock of parts you can order? That is why I asked if you had used other brands, suggesting that these reviews are deficient seems like you are simply uninformed due to lack of experience.

Thanks for the suggestion, I will consider that.
I could comment on the rest of your post but I don’t see the need to continue interacting so I will end with a quote the great W.C. Fields; “Move along boy you bother me”.
