Anyone else here own a Bambu Lab Carbon X1?

[MrTitanium]

I wasn’t aware we had a dedicated 3D printing thread. Nice!

After years of running all kinds of Flashforge, Prusa, and Creality printers, I took the plunge and bought this beautiful machine. Loving the quality and speed. Worth every single penny.

Would you be my Good neighbor?

Cool, works pretty good then? I've was looking at the ones without the multi spool thingy. My worry is they seem pretty new and I'm a little wary of dumping that much scratch until I know they're going to be around for the long run. I read it was founded by a group of ex-DJI engineers, so I assume technically it's pretty much top notch.

Don't have the X1 But have the P1P and has been an amazing machine. Quality and speed are amazing compared to my 2 creality printers.

Honestly, it’s the best machine I’ve owned to date… and I’ve owned the following machines:

- Prusa MK2s and MK3s,
- Flashforge Creator Pro,
- Creality Ender 3 Pro,
- Creality Ender 3 V2,
- Creality S1 Pro with Sonic Pad,
- Anycubic Vyper,
- Anycubic Kobra.

Mind you, the price tag attached to the Bambu Lab is high compared to those other machines I’ve owned. I did A LOT of research before committing to the X1 Carbon but it paid off in spades. If one has the scratch, I say go for it. Replacement parts are affordable and reliable. I since sold all those other printers as this one has them all beat… hands down.

I’ve heard good things about the P1P, but it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles like the X1 Carbon.

This is one of those things in life I'm willing to pay a little more for convivence. I just want something that works without much fiddling, so this all sounds promising.

Good to hear some real world feedback!

That’s amazing! Would you be willing to post pictures of some of your prints along with what materials you’ve been using?

Will do. In the middle of printing out a main fan for a jet engine now. Will post the video once finished.

 

[MrTitanium]

Won't allow me to upload an mp4 fellas. Anyone know how?

Unfortunately, you'll have to upload it to a video platform like YouTube or Imgur ,then link the video from there onto the forum and it'll auto play from here.

How is the noise level? I've seen a few Youtube videos but it's a little hard to judge how tolerable it would be to sit in the same room as it's printing.

Well…. I’ve been in machine shops and shooting ranges well before I had pubes, so noise levels don’t have an effect on me like the average person. I have the printer running in my office right next to my workstation and it doesn’t bother me none. I have so many freakin’ Teams/Zoom meetings during the day and no one has ever complained about the noise either.

I’ve had printers that made more noise than this unit, that’s for sure.

Hope this helps.

I heard a lot of bad things about flashforge. So did towards creality printers lol. I Own 2 fokoos odins and a creality ender 3. Most of my printing is done on it. My fokoos print pla and tpu while my ender PETG on pei sheet

 

[rotauq]

I got one too as of today!
The X1carbon combo (with AMS)

OMG it's fast!
Just finished my first print in 26 min where as my ender v2 would take 1:40h

It really is next gen with all that smartness. It really makes my 4y old Tevo Nereus obsolete.

Was that ABS?

 

[rotauq]

Was that ABS?

the PLA they supplied. I mostly have cardboard spools which the AMS doesn't like, so i need to print some spoolrings first before can print with exotics.
