This is super annoying i just tried to raise a post because of an issue
this is super dumb… adding a roadblock to new users being able to uses the forum
came here to report a freaking bug and now I have no idea if \ when Ill be able to because EVEN AFTER getting basic status I still can’t post…
You seem to have figured it out. Welcome to the forum.
All I’ve learned is that this forum is probably not a tool
I will rely on, this was a pretty big flag
Too bad I spent hours and hours reading posts without being logged in. Seems I need to do it all over again + reply in order to get certified.
Can someone tell me why suddenly I can not start a topic? I used to be able too, now I don’t have permission. All I can do is reply to one but not start one.
Thanks

how do you complete the disco bot tutorial??
Have you tried doing it from the mobile app? I too have an issue - manifested overnight, quite distressing, machine only three weeks old etc - but found when I used bambu handy it automatically exported the machine logs for the ticket, which I thought was nice!
We are working on improving the performance, as we were not expecting such a huge amount of people to joining so quickly. It will be better shortly.
November 2022 to April (almost May) 2024 and this forum is still infuriating for a newcomer. I experienced ZERO hints that I wouldn’t be able to post until doing X, Y, and Z.
This is UI and UX at its worst.
Constructive criticism: the idea of how this forum works is a barrier to seeking help from the community.
The requirements are posted in MANY threads including several times in this very thread…
Hi All,
Since recently updating to the recent version of Bambu Handy (2.10.0) I am having trouble reprinting previously sliced files between my 3x P1S and 3x X1Cs. I sliced everything for P1S and left it as is
Upon looking at the changelog, it appears that they “Adjusted the compatibility logic for reprinting from print history”.
Why was this done?
I have had absolutely no issues printing my P1S sliced files on my X1C — for nearly 2 years now — but now i have to go back and reslice EVERYTHING into X1C gcode. Quite frustrating.
Sorry if this is the wrong place. I’m new to this forum
I’d like to post an issue…
Same here. I registered to report absolutely stupid 3D view interface. All other software ( Blender, Fusion, FreeCad) have a separate buttons reserved for rotating/panning (shift or alt or middle mouse button). But “bright” Bambu engineers assigned rotation to the left mouse button. Try to rotate your object while painting it. 
Instead I have wasted another half an hour searching for a “make a post” button.
Is there any way for us to actually create a thread here? I am trying my darnest to find a way to ask for help here and there’s no way for me to create a thread. Would be great if you outlined what exactly new users need to do in order to actually create a thread and get help here would be great. Thank you.
Welcome to the forum
To be able to post you need to advance your trust level from “New User” to “Basic User”. To do this you need to complete the following.
- View at least 5 topics/threads
- Read at least 30 posts
- Spend a total of 10 minutes reading posts
Oh dear. I am beginning to regret this purchase now. My printer arrived with a noisy z-axis and I was happy when the service rep quickly told me they would send me a new z assembly. It arrived promptly and I started to learn the process. Step 1, take apart the entire printer (that might be slightly hyperbolic, but this is a far more involved process than I think I should be expected to when shipped a defective unit).
If I sound bitter and frustrated, it’s because I am. And then this forum gatekeeping, just to ask a question about whether I am missing something obvious that would make this easier, or if not, to comment on the appropriateness of expecting a customer to do this.
I am not a 3D printing newbie, I’ve worked with 5 models from 4 manufacturers for over a decade. The A1 mini is marketed as the most beginner-friendly printer available, and to expect a beginner to tear down the entire printer to fix a problem is insane. I am 90% expecting to be told that I’m missing something obvious because what it seems Bambu is expecting me (or a newbie) to do is ludicrous.
(Unmentioned Step 0 - remove the bottom plate)
Step 1 - Remove the Touch Screen and Wifi Antenna
Step 2 - Remove the Power Supply
Step 3 - Remove the Mainboard
Step 4 - Remove the Base Housing
Step 5 - Remove the Power Cable
Now you can start the Z axis replacement:
Step 1: Remove the Z-axis
Step 2: Remove the Z Motor
Then do it all over again backwards, and hope that the printer still works like-new when you’re finished.
“We want to ensure that you can perform it safely and effectively.” 
@discobot has to be messaged or something like that. This is my trial right now by @ing discobot lol hope it works… This forum is ridiculous… No wonder Bambu gets pretentious labels in the maker community.
You’ve disabled me in your preferences. You need to allow new user onboarding tips to interact with me.
Have to agree - It took me about 30 minutes to figure this out. It’s a complete waste of time…
- I’m obviously searching for my issue - Not how to post
- I’m not able to find my issue - Now I’m trying to find out where to post
- I found where, but now I can’t post - Now i’m trying to find out HOW to post
- I can’t figure it out so I revert to reddit and Google - Wasting my time I try to give feedback
- I’m now finding THIS post and reading your “standard requirements” - I literally just went and clicked on 5 topics without reading anything… if that’s how you guys want to do it…
- I can post now
Great! I’m so happy to have followed the rules, i’ve learnt so much…
Get real, either let people use the forum by improving the process or deal with more of this backlash. You probably have caused more grief than a standard amount of spam would have. Just throw in a captcha and limit first time posts to like 3… It’s not like anyone genuinely looking for assistance is going to make more than like 1 post anyways.
Edit: I’m still level 1 and cannot post on a Topic - Nice
I just want to re-iterate what has been said many times before: initial use of this forum is super unintuitive and annoying
This was my process:
- I am trying to find a “post new message” button, can’t find it anywhere
- Yes, I skim read the “intro” message from the discobot but the detail about not being able to post in the forums upon registration is not in the message. I have to click a link in the message to a long blog post to understand this. This is ridiculous.
- I run out of ideas and just Google “bambulab forum create post link” and then the first result is from Reddit and summarises exactly how I feel at this point: Am I being dumb? Where is the button to make a new post
- In this reddit thread is the details of having to “Reading at least 30 posts” etc
Just an awful experience after having spent $100s on a printer.
Here’s my suggestions to fix it: Put a big red banner or something that is unmissable in the forums that says something to the effect of “You are not allowed to post yet. You need to do X, Y and Z first”
I assume this process is to stop spam or something? Please just find a better solution
