Surely they must be aware of problems that are this severe. Yet they continue to take people’s money and ship it out anyway? What kind of company does that? Why would BBL have anything to do with such a company?
I gave a 1-star rating on the BIQU site, so I got an email from them asking me to contact support. However, my rating was not published - not very serious.

Support replied and wrote me that they will send a new radiator
Take out the extruder and mount the hotend outside of the extruder. It worked for me and I’ve been absolutely happy with the hotend ever since. Does a great job!
The Jet is meh. Really doesn’t out performe the stock, except it fits better. The Revo sock will rub the shroud, not really a big deal but may upset OCD folks (me).
I got lucky, no issues with the hotend, had issues eventually with the Touch. The only way to get results from their support is to be a PITA. It will still take a bit.
I just received mine and I can’t screw in either of the fan screws. I don’t even see any threads in the holes for me to screw them in.
I’m sorry, but I can’t visualize what you mean. Would you please post a photo?
If the holes are supposed to be threaded, but they’re not threaded, the screws won’t fit. I haven’t installed my Revo yet, but it also does not have any threaded holes. Not a big deal for me, though, I have the tools to fix. You probably need a “M3 Tap” to thread the holes…

A youtuber looked into it and found that there was a lot of powder left over from the manufacturing process gunking it up. I set the timestamp so you can see it quickly here:
After clleaning the gunk out, he got better performance.

Thanks for this. Think I’ll give it a try.

I received the new radiator from Support. Now it fits.
Will do some tests probably in the next days.

I ordered my panda revo on March 16th, got the first one on April 28th, the holes were not only too small but they are also drilled at 5-10 degrees angle downward rather than parallel to the extruder.It took them two weeks to respond to my ticket and another week to actually ship out a new heatsink and only the heatsink. I received the second heatsink today June 1st and this new one fit but it is a bit tight and now it just keeps jamming over and over again. The brass nozzle should be printing tpu just fine but it either isn’t feeding correctly into the hot end or the heat transfer is just non existent. As far as I am concerned this is just cheap knock off claiming to work with revo nozzles, but it doesn’t actually work unless you were lucky enough to receive one manufactured correctly… And from what I gather that seems to be less than 50% chance. It isn’t that hard to design a jig that will allow for repeatable processes

1st, BTT has horrible support. No surprise there.
I’ve used the .2, .4 Obxidian and Obxidian HF, and .6 Obxidian with onlyt issues on the HF. Being an idiot I attempted to used CF filament with it.
TPU was fine with the HF and 6.
I don’t blame your skepticism though. I had issues with the BTT Panda Touch quality control. Took 2 boards and a full replacement before mine worked properly. Judging by their FB pages they are consistant on inconsistant quality.

@needitmakeit is a very reputable youtuber just wanted to toss that out there.
Watched the whole video as I’ve been skeptical on this purchase since release but I was very interested simply due to clearly noticing the inadequate cooling of the X1/P1 series part cooling fans from the beginning.
When I had downtime I happen to start a rough model of trying to better the effect and enhance bridging since it lacks in these machines unless slowed way down. These are little things I feel the next gen should have upgraded most definitely along with dual Aux Fans and recently seeing the FLSun S1 and how they placed the part fan away from the toolhead which enabled them to use a much larger blower that’ll feed clean cold air (ambient) onto the part. These 2 things could vastly improve quality in some regard if placed within Bambu Labs next series.
After watching this it seems I’ll most definitely pick this up now since I have no easy method of printing or maintaining the weight of the one I’d love to design and use myself.

Great! Please do let us know what you think after de-gunking it and after you have a chance to try it out.
I did get a bit from it when tapping the hell out of it on my table. Does seem to work better.
Thanks again.

contact biqu support, They’ll get you a replacement
Got 2 x Panda Revo. My opinion is: meh…Firstly: Nozzle temp must be at least 10C lower than default presets. Secondly: Even though the nozzle wipe is brand new, there is always left over oozing filament sticking to the nozzle. Nozzle is NOT entirely protected by the silicone sock and the unprotected part of the nozzle is the most critical for filament sticking to it. It was much more efficient with the original Bambu nozzle on that. Thirdly: The wires are very short. They could of given an extra 10mm at the very least.
Clearly, they did not tested those Panda Revo. They just used CAD software to create the Panda with the hope that it is gonna work. They did not quality controlled the manufacturing of it. They did not thoroughly tested the manufactured samples. Like, this must be done more than once…after say 100 Panda on the line, you test one and so on for consistency. Doesn’t take a Doctorate in business administration to figure this out. But the chinese sellers (anything chinese made) just want to make money without providing support or parts…they are throw in a bin goods. They know we can’t do much against because they are protected by their country. The only exception is Bambu Lab which is doing exactly what needs to get done as a serious business and kudos to them.

Confused with the wiring. Are you using the P or X?
I have no issue with it on the P series, have the recommended bend and then right to the plug. Would pic it but running a 6 hour print. Looks exactly like their pics.
I can’t comment on sticking. I am using the Obxidian and have had no issue. Used brass .2 and it was clean as well.
Not arguing just giving my exerience. Given that BQTT does have an issue with quality control I wouldn’t doubt your issues at all.
I’ve had really great prints with it, not modifying anything. My ABS prints in particular are nice. Using stock settings for BL ABS I haven’t had a failure yet. Use the stock enclosure for the P1S and a printed gasket on the door. Usually only hit around 53 temp internal using the Obxidian .4 (and .6) HF.
Seems BQTT is consistant once again in being inconsistant.
If you get filament buildup on your extruder when printing something, you’re over-extruding and fixing that will address the problem.
