I’ve had a whole host of problems with my, new this week, X1C. Beginning with firing up the printer and having the bed go out of control into the printhead and sit there grinding on it, crashed until I hit the master off switch.
Wouldn’t connect to wifi, I tried numerous things, no joy. I’m on a ubi network as well. On a lark I disabled 5Ghz on the wifi network and then the X1C connected. Re-enabled 5ghz and no issues.
Handy is useless until you get the X1C on your network. Still not very useful even then.
AMS slot 2 is jammed and doesn’t work. Support ticket is going nowhere - 3 days now. The other bays work as they should and I’m using them.
RFID does not work reliably. Bambu Labs filament, RFID encoded, half the time it’s wrong and I have to override and never gets color at all. Dumb that this isn’t working right.
TPU will not work with AMS!!! The whole reason I bought this printer is because I have a job where I need to embed TPU in PLA (or some other similar to TPU temp settings material.) NO JOY! TPU will absolutely NOT run with AMS. Major bummer. Causing a design change and an inferior product. READ THE FINE PRINT!
I have a few Enders and they all print quite well. The X1C prints better, not a huge amount, but better. The X1C is MUCH faster than an Ender. Probably twice. The X1C has not given a bad print yet. Though the project I’m doing is warping a little and I had to dig way into the settings to find how to put the part on a Raft. X1C can do that. Will be testing that next.
I dropped a ton of money on this and am sitting here printing, waiting for support to fix my defective AMS, and I’m wishing I’d gotten the Prusa XL instead. More money and probably not as fast, but the live print heads mean it’ll do the job I have in front of me and the X1C isn’t capable of it.
