First time with any 3D printer. Just got my P1S combo and after about 5 hrs was finally able to at least get it connected to Bambu studio (NO cell service where I live, no QR codes, no apps… used user_wifi.cfg on micro card method… try 6 different ways, get 12 different results, try the same method 5 times, get 6 different results…)
So now looking at next steps. Want to tram and configure first but on manual traming page listed above it doesn’t state whether you need filament loaded or not (yes, I am that new at this) and I have looked at a lot of different beginners guides but they all seem to assume you are already at the point where printer is ready to go and filament loaded. And at this point I have not loaded any yet because I don’t want to find out later that I should have done 4 other steps first.
Welcome to the forum.
You don’t need to tram the bed. You don’t need to do any manual configurations.
Let the printer self calibrate and start printing. Once you get a general feeling and understanding for printing, then you can look at possibly some minor tweaks to the printer. Until then, just print stuff.
Thanks for quick response. Was hesitant because I have seen several posts (related to Bambu) where people started some procedure thru the interface and the bed was rammed into the hotend or the drive chain slipped with a really bad noise because the printer didn’t check where the bed was actually at before it started moving things. Right now if I do a Home the printer will tap the front door with the hot end assembly so I don’t have a lot of blind faith in this product and my network challenge didn’t help.
Not hot sure how this is possible as the movement of the head can’t physically touch the door.
Yes the head homes in the front right hand side and it will activate the filament cutter on the front left side. Both of these create a “tapping” noise but this is normal shouldn’t be a concern.
Have you printed any of the onboard files like the Benchy?
As stated I haven’t loaded ANY filament yet, so no printing. When doing the Home it’s the plastic cover that bumps into the upper right corner (cutter I guess from what you stated) but it definetly seems to touch the front, if I put my hand on the door I can feel it bounce a little. But maybe it’s the entire assembly/cutter interaction. I used to live in a place where we had people who would parallel park by “braille” so I just figured it was the printers way of finding it’s boundries, like a roomba.
One more item, the AMS has a black foam piece across all 4 feed nozzles in the front. I can’t find a reference to that in any of the unboxing/setup wiki’s, getting started guides or videos I’ve seen but I am guessing I need to remove that since it does block the nozzles slightly.
Is anyone else still having issues not being able to see the images loading? It’s too bad because it’s difficult to follow this guide without them (it seems to rely on images heavily…)
Yes, same here…! I’m not sure what’s going on or how long this has been going on, but the images are missing at this point in time. Would be nice if that could be fixed.
OP, this would be a lot more helpful if you were able to fix the missing images. I realize that it’s likely a back-end issue, but if you can help that would be great.
Maybe blame it on Amazon?

The images are no longer displayed. Can you upload them again?
Orcaslicer has a wiki explaining everything with pictures and in pretty good detail on their github page.
@ThanksForAsking It’s a wonderful post but the images are no longer displayed! Could you please re-upload those? As a beginner in 3D printing I could really get some help from those.
