I just watched the ongoing prints, split up in to 2 parts, printing one half in my old and my new X1CC.
Discovered something really weird,
I think the smooth rod on the right side has pulled something out/in and moved it to the top of it or something weird?!?
Can somebody tell me what this is and how to fix it?
(I dont want to pull like a heavyweight champ on these without knowing what I am supposed to do to fix whatever this weirdo is)
I need your knowledge & help mates,
heres pictures of my first (older printer)
Im sorry for the dark pictures but the new printer has a really deep bottom hole where the smooth metal rod dissappears in to,
and on top theres a fat lump (bearings?!?) that seems quite stuck on the shaft (does not move if I pull as much as I dare)
Hope my explanation helps and makes it possible for you to make out the difference Im trying to describe with my poor Swenglish skills…
Please if you know what this is I would love your input/help mates!
May the force be with you mates!
(Oh yeah, I should probably add that my eyesight has gone down the drain like a bambu printer poop shute poop, so Im having difficulty telling what preciesely I am looking at in the bottom holes, if it is plastic or if it is something pulled out like bearings/bearingholder or something similar. Heck I cant even tell if the inside of that hole is plastic or metal. And as you may understand is how come I turn to you mates here in our fellowship of 3D printer hobbyists.
Have a big fat migraine on top of the frosting so my normally lame deductive skills are literally on the negative spectrum today, haha
Anyhows, I really appreciate any input you have mates!
It seems your sliders came loose.
They should be secured with this little ridge going around them.
Maybe the retaining clip broke off or got lost.
First image VS third …
No clue about updates or changes on the X1, don’t have one.
But I just checked on my P1S and it has the slide bushing half way out as well, so they must have done this for a reason I guess.
Yes Modros my friend, I only have 2 printers namely the mentioned pair of X1CC’s.
Purchased the first X1CC pretty early when Bambu went public eu store,
than I waited for the larger printer surface but ended up buying the second X1CC about 1 year later.
First and older printer really is very troublefree just chews away on the filament rolls (Has several hundred rolls through) altho the newer likes to clog a lot and rip stuff off the plate and stuff so I tend to keep a close eye on it in particular. I did not notice the bearing thing until I wrote here, and youve been of great help Modros137!
Thank you again mate, much appreciated!
Sounds awesome!
I’m holding my thumbs that you can make some good dough out of that and get stacks of filament! :))
I do inventions and art however it is the opposite of moneymaking, it is a one way cash flow and it is not towards me, haha
I do some shooting related prototypes (mostly unusable crepe to be honest) but some stuff I am very happy with myself and thought is glaringly absent despite most shooters literally in dire need of a bunch of solutions for time saving measures that leaves concentration and effort towards the competitions themselves instead of the multitudes of various stuff that has to be made within limited time to keep up. (Stressful and really exhausting for people such as myself that lacks any skills of multitasking. Heck if I think AND speak at the same time I fall over flat on my face, haha)
But it is awesome how these fantastic little machines makes inventions possible to transfer in to reality and actually tested out!
I would never have noticed that if you hadn’t mentioned it. I’ve got a 2 month and 2 year old one, I had to go and have a look. Good to see they are making subtle improvements, a new nozzle wiper would have been great.
The longer body of the linear bearing will increase the stiffness by some degree and help in a certain spectrum of vibrations…it’s my opinion taken from the linear technique in general, by removing the floor they could make it as long as possible…however, I did not notice a difference in the quality of the new versus the old model
the old type of printer has a bronze insert in the upper trapezoid rod bearing and the new type has a rubber mount there
it seems to me that the old type is noisier…but it’s probably just an impression
But when there are 11 bambulabs and 3x elegoo and dryers and ventilation, you want to run away to a meadow and watch the sunset
