For the record, my comments have nothing to do with your specific printer. As you can see above, I was replying to your comment about everything being rainbows and sparkles when using the manufacturer’s advice and settings.
As for your specific printer, it could very well be defective. And if it is, you’ll likely get the best help by working with Bambu Lab support. I don’t know that crying to your YouTube audience is going to be a very effective tool. But, have at it if that’s your thing.
You speak like a 3D printing novice. Sorry – just calling it as I see it.
For the record, you have not addressed any of my points. You only wrote patronizing responses (already acknowledged by at least one other forum member). You also haven’t offered any “advice”, just your rude opinion. I will make no fake apologies, I will call you what I see as well: an idiot.
No doubt you’re a shill when you are totally okay with YouTubers singing about the “rainbows and sparkles” on their channels but it’s suddenly “crying to your audience” when there’s an issue that you openly admit “could” be the printer (it is, a so-called expert would know that a non-square frame and a bent bed would cause issues no matter what) - I already engaged with BL through support and it’s unanswered. They have all the telemetry and access to my printer camera as well as the 3mf files. People should know that and they will also know about your shilling. Let me make it clear: you are NOT an expert, you provided no evidence to back that up, in fact you are completely ignorant and to say the least a useless fanboy. Will do my best not to pay attention to you going further, just really felt the need to openly call you an idiot for your nonsensical statements. The fact that you are completely anonymous and have nothing to back up your patronizing claims is laughable. I have pity for you.
He did address your points, you just didn’t like the answers and took it as a personal attack.
He said many times that it very well could be your bed, but that the types of print failures you were describing happen on flat beds too. I think you are upset because you interpreted that as your specific bed isn’t your issue, when that isn’t what he was saying at all.
If your bed isn’t straight, it probably is your issue. He admitted that warped beds are an issue, but that we’re still waiting on a solution as some people’s replacement beds haven’t been straight.
And I tend to agree with him that using the all the default Bambu settings and filaments doesn’t guarantee a perfect print every time. Still a lot of factors, especially when it comes to the design and size of what’s being printed, and the specific material being used to print said design.
I do know, that calling people names in this thread is a good way to get posts removed and won’t get your issues solved.
Right exactly. Which is why he specifically said it might be your print bed and it might not be. We don’t know if it’s your print bed because you haven’t actually posted any pictures or measurements of your print bed.
If your print bed isn’t straight, then the only solution is to wait on Bambu Lab to send you a new one. But as I said previously, some people are still complaining about warped replacement beds.
And you’re right, I haven’t measured your print bed. Which is why I can not say with certainty that it is your print bed. But I gave you the benefit of the doubt that “If your bed isn’t straight, it probably is your issue.”
Anyway, it’s pretty clear you’re upset by all this and taking things very personally. I would cool it with the insults though, because Bambu Labs will remove the posts. They don’t want incendiary nonsense and people bickering on this forum. And I don’t really blame them, because it’s not productive.
It’s not just the bed. The bed issue I found today after chasing my support ticket for an answer and stumbling across this post. The actual issue is the whole frame. The frame isn’t square. As it’s welded from the factory I can’t even fix it. In addition to the frame, the bed as well. For small items it works fine with the leveling adjustments but large objects really show the issue. I didn’t post photos because I already provided a 6 minute long video to Bambu Lab. Where I actually kissed the printer (as a joke) to say I really love the idea but there are niggling issues I would like them to solve for me. Now I find they’re ignoring it, that others are having similar issues and that the faults aren’t rectified. All I want is for Bambu Lab to exchange it since you can’t repair the welded frame. I love my printer when it works well but I didn’t buy it for only printing small parts.
Kinda sounds like it’s not the bed and is actually the frame.
Just give it time. They aren’t ignoring you, they’re being bombarded by support tickets and it’s taking time to work through them. I know it’s frustrating, but it is what it is with a new company.
As the OP said, they’ve already sent him a new print bed. If your frame is truly bent, I’m sure they’ll work something out with you too.
Same problem here.
Had contacted support and after they analyzed the log file they sent me a new print bed. After unpacking it I checked and it was warped too. Could even be worse than the one I have currently installed. I can even see it by looking along the front edge.
I contacted support again with the images I took and they are not willing to help me until I install and manually tram the bed and send them a log file containing a bed level mesh.
So now im a little bit hesitant because the installation procedure looks really time consuming and I know the new bed wont be better than the old one.
May I ask you when you started the support case and when you received the new bed?
I’m still waiting for mine, and the internal process should have started 12 days ago - I assume that they are very aware of the issue now and trying to get QC properly done.
In your case, I would take the chance and tape/level the with aluminium tape outside of the printer if they are not willing to replace the replaced bed with these obvious pictures. (They are probably only following the books…)
Mine wasn’t, it was perfectly flat.
Please be aware that this forum suffers from the same fate as most others: there are always more posts about what went wrong than what went right. This does not necessarily reflect the situation in the real world.
I notice that many people measure the flatness of their bed starting from the edges of the magnetic coating and that for some of their bed is hollow on almost all the width of it. Wouldn’t there be a problem on the side of the magnetic coating rather than on the side of the bed itself?
Of course there are those for whom there is a hole in the middle of the tray and there… I would be curious to know what is under the magnetic coating, if the tray is as hollow as with the coating
Sure, I know. Nothing personal, I just don’t like statements which include “all”, “every” and such.
I’m working in product support since ages, if you look at all the claims you receive you might think that the products are all defective and rubbish, just because nobody opens a ticket with a subject “all good, works perfectly”.
So here nobody would start a thread like “My bed is perfectly flat” and have lots of folks adding in, right? It is like it is.
Figured I could add myself to the list of folks with warped beds. 0.75mm in the X direction and 0.43mm in the Y direction. Submitted my support ticket yesterday morning. Will see what results.
The bars in the above picture were placed top to top. PLA, 6 bottom layers, no top layers, 4 perimeters, 50% infill. The 0 top layers was done to minimize the impact of any surface artifacts on fit. Obviously it doesn’t matter on the X1C.
Is there anyone without a warped bed ?
mine doesn’t look that bad as some , but from printing two strips and putting them together I can tell it is warped.
the people who print small multi-coloured objects will not care if it is warped unless it is really bad, but if you are printing functional objects which have to fit together you will have problems .
I have seen some people here mention their bed is flat. And if all beds were warped, I’m sure more people (including YouTube influencers who are pushing Bambu Lab products) would have mentioned it by now.
The early adopters I know, have all nearly dead-flat beds. I assume that the supply-chain for the bed got at some point adjusted. (supplier changed, or several suppliers)
I receive in a week another X1C, I’m curios how the bed will be.
Or how my exchange bed will be…
Shifted my current bed nearly flat now, used a ton of aluminium tape:
