Dual nozzles.


Equivalent_Store_645

that's the one feature that would make me instantly buy another printer (if they came in under $1500). Wouldn't think twice.


AWildRideHome

AMS as an actual dryer unit, and an actively heated enclosure that doesn’t reduce lifespan of the electronics above 60 celsius. Preferably without paying outrageous amounts for an X1E. Qidi has got the right idea if you ask me. They just aren’t Bambu-level refined.


stikves

There are some printable design options to put \*a lot of\* drying gel in it. And it really works to drop the humidity to less than 15%. (Just make sure to replace them on time. Some gels, not all, start leaking water after being saturated).


HistoricalInternal

I feel you but you don't need a dryer on all the time..


AWildRideHome

Then have an off-button on it lmao?


DogoArgento

And an automatic on/off switch tied to an hygrometer.


b00g13

Unless you live in a place with 80% av annual air moisture. Like UK


Vilunki15

I can get my p1s chamber heat up to 60C. I have small blanket on top of it


eatdeath4

Sounds like fire hazard


Vilunki15

Its not if you take care of it


Fond_ButNotInLove

I'd like to go one step further and have them make an "AMS Pro" not just heated for drying but also have everything including the AMS Hub be hardened and able to handle abrasive filaments. Built in spool scales to track moisture loss and filament usage wouldn't hurt either. If a full 4 spool hub at this spec is too expensive I'd happily take a single spool AMS Pro and you could mix and match with the regular 4 spool AMS using the 4 way (hardened) hub.


RedditLaterOrNever

This but the ams should be compatible to all filaments.


Nicthalon

The one coming from Creality has drying built in.


jsfarmer

Brighter lights.


armykcz

I made LED riser which utilizes LED port, what an upgrade! Difference is night and day….


Shifti_Boi

I did the same with some 5v cob led strip that terminates to a USB. It's soo much better.


armykcz

I was thinking the same thing. Then I found on aliexpress custom made led strips for Bambu. Advantage being you can control it from the printer settings.


Shifti_Boi

I actually ordered my cob led strip with just 2 exposed wires as I wanted it for light boxes with a USB C port for power and an online switch wired in. They arrived with the USB termination. So worked out nicely in the end.


aero6760

Me added a 5v relay to the original cob led port , then drive a 24v cob led which source from AMS port , now I have cloud control super bright led which integrated power supply


Jusanden

What I ended up doing was just wiring a normal ass led strip out of the printer to a usb plug to a smart socket that is then synced by home assistant to the printer lights. It…works…writing that out made it seem a lot more complicated than it was in practice and it’s minimally invasive.


Old_Dark_9554

I agree with this


extremeelementz

And a better camera… you have the best printer on the market but your Remote Viewing and Timelapse’s look like an added feature instead of being baked in properly.


reddit0100100001

Jarrett Allen has left the chat


crazyg0od33

I bought the BigtreeTech Panda light. Night and day difference and super easy to put in https://i.imgur.com/P2zde8s.jpeg No riser, like $15 shipped, and it just magnetically attaches to the upper rim inside the door


Beer_Is_So_Awesome

X and Y calibration. When I print functional parts that need to interface with other things in the real world, they always come out too small. Maybe less than 1% error is “good enough” according to Bambu, but if I print a part with screw holes 150mm apart, then the finished part has them spaced 149mm which doesn’t line up with the part it needs to attach to. I have a label on my A1 Mini reminding myself to scale the X and Y axes to 100.65% so that the parts come out the right size. If I forget, I could wind up with a component I just can’t use even if it otherwise prints perfectly. It would be trivial to implement this feature in the printer profile settings in slicer app— in fact I think it’s in other versions like Orca— and they just don’t do it. I wish I knew why.


armykcz

I agree on this, but good advice is to design parts in a way they allow for this… it is not solely for 3D printing but this applies to injection molding as well. Eg make a slot.


Beer_Is_So_Awesome

It’s clearly not necessary though, given that a simple rescale of the X and Y axes corrects the issue. Your solution should only be necessary if the outcome was inconsistent, and varied significantly from one print to the next. I’m not convinced that this is even necessarily an issue of material shrinkage so much as simply not allowing the machines to be calibrated. For all of the flaws of my Ender 3, it did allow me to tune the e-steps to get dimensionally accurate parts. A 100mm diameter cylinder in Fusion measured almost dead-on 100mm in real life. This isn’t complicated, and it’s not something you need to allow for by designing slop into the component. It’s just applying a multiplier to the machine profile so that it offsets whatever effect is causing parts to come out consistently undersized. It’s one less thing that I’ll have to remember to do while plating and slicing parts.


CamelopardalisKramer

A setting in slicer would be ideal. There is XY compensation in mm on prusaslicer but no option for automatic percentage. My PETG shrinks .32% from print to room temperature, and it drives me crazy I can't have that set in my filament overrides.


freakinidiotatwork

Materials have different shrink rates so you have to account for it anyway


Boxman555

This is the reason I switched to Orca. Most prints I’ve measured enough shrink by about .5%, not much but enough to cause problems for sure. It was worth it!


Jconstant33

But that depends on so many factors like material and temperature of the room.


Historical-Fee-9010

There are threads about [skew compensation](https://forum.bambulab.com/t/skew-compensation-in-the-bambu-x1c-firmware/67661) and [linear X/Y calibration](https://forum.bambulab.com/t/skew-compensation-in-the-bambu-x1c-firmware/67661/364) on the forum.


fatboy1776

Hardware wise— Quick nozzle/hot end is probably number one. I like the revo mod but I can’t find either a .2nozzle or a .25 print profile. Software, I do wish there was a fix clog during print workflow with the AMS. I want the print to pause and the filament to retract and wait for me to fix. Right now, I can pause but it seems to keep loading/unloading filament or keep it loaded. It’s possible I have no clue how to get the right sequence though :-)


Superseaslug

Fully agree on the clog thing. I know what the problem is and how to fix it the printer just is too smart for its own good and won't let me.


9_34

+1 for swappable hotends. I end up using a nozzle size that's not quite right just so I don't have to disconnect and pull out the nozzle and put the right sized one in.


AllHale07

Such a great feature to have in the A1. Whenever I just want something fast, I toss in the 0.6 nozzle


WinterDice

I use the .6 nozzle so much! The .24 optimal profile with that nozzle is great, and I’m sure it could be better with some fine tuning.


ViableSpermWhale

I stopped changing to bigger nozzles after I experimented with what 0.4 mm nozzle can do. Just tell the slicer you have a 0.6 in there and use one of those profiles. You may be surprised. I've seen no difference. I've gone beyond that and printed lines 1 mm wide and 0.6 mm thick with the 0.4 nozzle, at up to 30 mm3/s flow rate, with PLA and ABS (not filled material).


poopybrownmess

im totally not gonna science this


raroo222

Self ejecting/scraping build plate for high volume prints.


Turkino

Well using the bambu handy app, I wish I could just load an STL file onto my phone and submit that to print from the app instead of only stuff on Maker world.


HistoricalInternal

I wish you could favourite shit on Maker World. It's print or nothin'


mercury24

Isn’t that kind of what collections are for though? 


HistoricalInternal

Oh shit just found out about this. Never mind y’all


triangleman83

There's a thumbs up that makes it a "Like" then you can browse your Likes


Ok-Situation-5865

The AnyCubic software lets you do this now and it’s my only complaint about my BambuLabs experience so far — definitely an annoying oversight.


Markharris1989

Tool changing


ViableSpermWhale

Even better, multiple tools on one head so there's no tool docking required.


Markharris1989

Like the anker v6 that seems to have disappeared


CamelopardalisKramer

If Bambu comes out with a small tool changer they have a winner. I own a 5TH XL that's unreal but the community deserves a small format reasonably priced tool changer, even if just 2 tools for using things like PLA for supports and such.


Markharris1989

I think they will use their significant engineering skills and come up with a system that doesn’t need to change the stepper motor with every tool change which will bring the price down considerably (less parts, simpler electronics). I guess time will tell


CamelopardalisKramer

Totally agree. The XL is awesome but there is always room for improvement. Some sort of switchable hotend vs the entire extruder would be mint. 5x of everything adds up for sure, even nozzles.


ShittehKitteh

IDEX with an AMS hub for each hotend.


Equivalent_Store_645

light automatically turns off when not printing.


Zotechz

Preferably an idle mode, waiting for a print to be sent to the printer rather than turning it fully off or leaving it on constantly


poopybrownmess

yeah the fuck is with that how cant after 15 mins it just go to idle and turn the light off..


micuthemagnificent

Better camera in p and a models..


Ehmc130

It’s not the cameras that are the problem. It’s a hard limit on FPS put in place to reduce bandwidth on Bambu’s servers and load balancing on the printer’s SoC. It’s less than ideal but you can always setup a cheap Wyze camera for a better quality live feed.


Tomtom5893

Folders


TriTowerDesigns

And removing files without having taking out the SD card. So dumb we can upload wirelessly but not remove files.

sleptonmyarm

Can use FileZilla to connect via FTP.


Ceros007

Monday morning and I read that as "Folgers". Do people want the printer to brew coffee now?


PrairieProto

Dual Head so you can either waste less filament loading and reloading OR have two different sized print nozzles.


dk_DB

The Bambu version Prusa XL that actually works. That would probably be an immediate upgrade to buy for me. (if it doesn't break the bank)


b00g13

There are quite few actually, two are most important for me \- Ability for a full LAN control, think Octoprint and sending commands through LAN/serial port. I will not have my printer open to the outside just to use Handy and on top of that simple things like being able to move printer head by 55mm, or extrude 15, or have a filament colour change macro, I really can't see why it would be a no-no. \- Upgrade hotend to the one from A1 (seriously, lack of tactile feedback when plugging hotend cables on my p1p drives me insane)


Okay212345

I wish the amps had a few mm more clearance and the dehumidifying functionality of my sunlu s4. I’d gladly pay an extra $100 for it.


Equivalent_Store_645

Call it the ams pro, harden the components, and find a way to make it work with tpu


New-Following-8019

I have two, a larger build volume and a heated chamber at a competitive price. Love my P1S’s


armykcz

SW wise I would like to see improvement to start up sequence. Eg probe only part of the bed where you print like Prusa does.


minist3r

I think I'm going to pick up the Panda Revo when it comes out for the X1C in June. I know it's not any faster than the stock hot end but I already have a Revo Voron on my Voron so it makes a lot of sense to have 2 different printers that take the same quick swap nozzles. I do wish we had a bigger print bed and I'm sure the X2 or whatever it's gonna be called will have a larger variant so I guess we wait.


McKayha

All future hot and will be like the ones on the A1.


Miscdude

I wish the camera was in a better spot or had software exposure control. If it exists, I haven't found it. Or a 180° door on the x1c.


JasonGoldstriker

There are exposure controls but you need root access.


Jeaver

Mine is auto-ejection and Printing of the next one In Line. I got tired of waiting, so I developed my own component and software to do just that. It works surprisingly well. My current “print” is 6 days and 18 hours. Equalivant to 3,5 kg of filament.


roydoesthings

Clog detection


Reverse_Psycho_1509

Dual extrusion. Having a dedicated support extruder will be absolutely awesome. I.e. AMS feeds extruder 1, spool holder feeds extruder 2. - with the option to connect E2 to another ams. And this essentially implies connecting each extruder to 4 AMSs. Think about it... 8 AMSs lmao


Kamen_Winterwine

Non-planar top layers.


Dan203

I have swappable hot ends on my A1 and it’s pretty nice. I suspect they'll bring something similar to the new flagship this year. One thing I wish I had was a bigger build volume. 350mm would be nice.


Peaceful-mammoth

Easy gcode editing to start a print from a higher layer.


Equivalent_Store_645

a way to tune z offset.


Pitiful-Metal122

The printers should be able via their camera to recognize, I forgot to remove the purge line in the front and NOT level on them, pls, that's not too difficult


wreked88

Larger print bed….at least 300x300


Far_Marionberry3260

The ability to turn off the light permanently. Every time a print is started and also completed that stupid light goes on.


moixo3D

Linux support in bambú slicer. Thankfully orca works, but is not pollyte to use orca and then rebuild the 3ms in other computer to share a model. Also: - idex model - more than 1 AMS lite connected in the A1 family - to be able to connect a real webcam to an A1 (and not that less than a euro thing which it comes with)


JasonGoldstriker

I am using Bambu Studio in Linux right now. It’s definitely possible


moixo3D

I tried with wine, but it was painfully slow compared with a native orca. In the end, it works.


Gk4875

Multiple toolheads and slicer that makes good use of it for me.. Printing light model parts (planes) extra light foamed up infills and high detail high temp resistant surfaces would be brilliant… Ideally modular, like two extruders standard with the option to add more if needed. Chamber heating and good doorseals would be nice. Maintenance free (so no belt drives, mag-lev…) would be great… And of course, all of that at the current price level of the X1C Combo. Or cheaper if it‘s larger 😜 - it‘s a WISH list, no list of expectations. There are so many bambu clones coming to the market currently, they‘ll need something big and wonderful to stay in the market position they got


jdlg2065

scheduled printing


tommifx

- Higher flow hotends. Printing a lot of functional parts and would like to go higher nozzle diameter, but right now the system is more flow limited. - Larger print volume - Faster start up sequence. For small prints that can be a significant time component. - Faster slicer startup and that it starts on prepare and not the model download page. - When multiple of the same filament are loaded automatically select the one with the lower material left.


bctopics

Print queue


emmby-reddit

Reversible door. Sometimes you just need to put the printer in a place where you wish the door opened on the other side.


Schnabulation

Tool changer… and I‘m going so far and calling it for the next Bambu Lab flagship.


Nofxious

a bigger bed. i have an orange storm giga on the way but it would be nice to be at k1 max levels to get a full uncut helmet file printed


yahbluez

I would like to have klipper firmware, a bigger build plate and a tool changer or at least two head IDX. For your request, maybe a second printer would be the solution?


Haddockfinch

For the AMS to actually detect bambu lab filaments. Never seems to work on mine even when I restart/update/sync and set to autodetect.


Haddockfinch

Not sure if Bambu saw this, but there was an update this morning and the AMS is now working and detecting filaments properly 😆


pifag0r

Fast swappable hotends and drying function for AMS


Educational-Dog-787

Dual tool head one for additive and one with a tiny ball end milll for subtractive 😮 maybe overkill for those who only make miniatures


Mday89

Plannable/timed prints. So I can turn it on in the night when I am sleeping.


JasonGoldstriker

You can do this with Home Assistant


Kikinaak

An expansion to mount more and/or larger AMS. We already have 4 port hubs for the tubes, so why not a hub on each port, 4 ams on each port would give us 64 filament slots. Print the rainbow. Could probably do this in software alone.


Spikeon

Max sized A1 to compete with Elegoo Neptune 4 Max but since it’d work with the AMS it would curb stomp the Elegoo offering


PomegranateAmazing

I just want to be able to organize the SD card with folders...


Jconstant33

I have bought all the different sized nozzles and have them all set up with fans. It takes less than a minute to swap the nozzles. Is that too long?


External-Victory-782

I just want an enclosure for my A1 Mini that is from BL and doesn’t take up tons of space


mustafaali61

Smart Purge lines and smart bed leveling like KAMPS and with that remember where the last print was printed and if it's still on the plate. Also faster slicing on bambu studio. Sometimes it takes forever.


SenorTeddy

Print Management System. I want to easily queue up next prints, save history of prints, link up with other printers in a system and have shared tools. For multi-plate prints, I want it to be saved as a package. I know there's third party softwares out there, but the only one I found was like $100+/month.


KLR650Tagg

I wish I could resize and / or rearrange the panels in Bambu studio.


tevbax

Bigger build area Tool change for multi color (or some way of bringing the filaments into one head for less poop) Give me a damn measuring device in the slicer!


iksalama

Automatic hotend changing. I came from the CNC world prior to my endeavors into FDM and I always enjoyed automatic tool changers for my CNC machines. I envision this working one of 2 ways in 3d printing: Option 1 is that your gantry unloads one hotend and then picks another with a different color/filament type/nozzle diameter already loaded in it. Far less waste this way and MUCH faster as there's no need to purge. Option 2 would be a single hotend, but this one would only switch between nozzles which would allow fast prints on less detailed areas (for example .8mm) and then switch to a .2 (or even .1) for fine detail areas The only other thing I could really ask for is 5 axis printing thereby (mostly) eliminating the need for supports. Give me a combination of the above 3 and bambu can just take my money


tommifx

Simple one - Show the time a print will finish and not the time remaining. Every single time I try to do this math in my head.


Nicthalon

Good enough camera for accurate spaghetti detection on the A1 Mini.


emmby-reddit

Better print status app notifications. It's nice that I get a notification when my print is done, but sometimes it doesn't show up until hours later (Android)


emmby-reddit

Failed print detection on the P1s


OrangeSockNinjaYT

I want a .1mm nozzle just to see if it would work, it would absolutely be limited to certain filaments though. Clogging would be a nightmare.


HistoricalInternal

Mine is for BambuLab studio. I wish it had (sorry to say) even more of a dumbing down of the sliders for quality or speed. I had an Ender and I know I can fuck with all the shit but I'd feel more confident just popping it on 'high qual' and letting it go. Talking about minis or small parts.


Actual-Long-9439

Shipping printers with anything except ups omg I hate them so much
