Bambu Lab X1 Desktop 3D Printer User Guide

Bambu Lab X1 Desktop 3D Printer

Product Information

The AMS (Advanced Machine System) is a versatile machine designed for various applications. It is recommended to use Bambu Filament, which has undergone extensive testing to ensure compatibility and optimal performance with the AMS. Avoid using soft materials like TPU or damp PVA, as they may cause blockages or difficulties in operation. The AMS comes with an adapter to minimize the risk of slippage and prevent debris from being left behind in the machine. This adapter enhances the overall user experience and maintains the cleanliness of the AMS.

Product Usage Instructions

1. Ensure that the AMS is properly set up and connected to a power source.
2. Select the desired application or project for the AMS.
3. Prepare the Bambu Filament by loading it onto the filament spool holder.
4. Insert the loaded Bambu Filament into the designated filament inlet of the AMS.
5. Power on the AMS and navigate to the appropriate settings on the control panel or software interface.
6. Configure the necessary parameters such as temperature and print speed according to the specific requirements of your project.
7. Start the printing process and monitor the progress periodically.
8. After completion, power off the AMS and remove the finished product carefully.
9. Clean and maintain the AMS regularly, ensuring that no debris or residue is left behind.
10. If using a material other than Bambu Filament, consult the user manual for specific instructions and recommendations.

By following these instructions, you can maximize the performance and longevity of your AMS while achieving high-quality results in your projects.

Please review the entire guide before operating the printer.

Safety Notice: Do not connect to power until assembly is complete.

Warning

• When operating the AMS, we recommend using Bambu Filament, which has been thoroughly tested to work with the AMS.
• Please make sure to avoid using soft materials like TPU or damp PVA, as they can get stuck in the AMS.
• AMS supports spool width of 50 mm – 68 mm. We highly recommend using filament with plastic spools that fit correctly inside the AMS. If you prefer to use cardboard spools, we strongly advise using a spool adapter to reduce the risk of slippage and debris getting left behind in the AMS.
• If you run into any issues with specific filaments, please let us know so that we can provide better advice to our community.

Component Introduction

Accessory Specification

AMS & Tool Head Unlock

1. Take out the accessory box. Use Allen Key H2 to remove the screws as pictured.
2. Take out the AMS by sliding it out through the top.
   • We recommend using the short end of the Allen Key to unlock the screws more easily
3. Remove the four screws as the arrows indicate.
4. Take out the AMS cushioning.
5. Remove the carboard from the tool head.
   • Romove the foam from the excess chute.

AMS Assembly

Spool Holder Assembly

1. Remove the screw as pictured with an Allen Key H2.
2. Secure the spool holder with two screws from the accessory box.

Hot Bed Unlock & Screen Installation

1. Remove the three screws with an Allen Key H2 to unlock the hot bed.
2. Pull the Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC) out about 50mm.
3. Insert the FPC into the port by pressing the terminal as pictured.
4. Insert the screen back to the slot on the printer, then lock it by pushing it to the left.

Printer Binding

1. Download the Bambu Handy App. Register and log in to your Bambu Lab account.
2. Connect the printer to power. Follow the instructions on the screen until getting to the page shown on the right side
3. Use Bambu Handy to scan the QR code on the screen, and bind your printer with your Bambu Lab account
4. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the initial calibration. It is normal to have vibration and noise during the calibration process. DO NOT remove the protective foam from beneath the hot bed until after the initial calibration is complete.

First Print

• Apply a thin layer of glue on the build plate.
• Place at least one spool of Bambu Filament into the AMS. Turn on the power to start the printer and the AMS. Insert the filament into the filament inlet. The filament will be automatically pre-loaded when detected.
• We recommend first printing a single-color model with the supplied Bambu PLA Basic.
• Press ” ” – “internal”. Select a file to start the first print.
• We recommend using one of the pre-loaded files as a first test print.

Bambu Studio

Download Bambu Studio: http://bambulab.com/download

• Log in to Bambu Studio with your Bambu Lab account, which is the same for the Bambu Online store.
• Create or open a project.
• Slice the model, select your printer and send the model to print.
• We recommend performing bed leveling before each print and performing flow calibration after changing filament.
• During printing, you can remotely monitor your print, or pause/stop printing on the “Device” interface.
• The live view can be seen only if a camera is mounted.
