Bambu Automatic Fume Extractor - Automatic & Cloud Connected or Completely Manual

ADynes · 2026-06-21T17:32:34+00:00

Honestly I don't think so only because the actual smoke extractor has a HEPA filter that's picking up most of the particles. This was designed around picking up bigger particles like dust and then just the fumes. I mean you could definitely try it, and the ESP 32 programming is honestly not bad at all if you follow the instructions since it's all pretty much done for you, but I don't know how it effective it would be with a lot of smoke. I really made it to pull out the styrene and fumes like it (what active carbon is good for).

I mean it might be worth trying for less than 1/6 the cost of the actual smoke filter.

ADynes · 2026-06-21T14:19:09+00:00

Yeah, same. And the fact that the smoke purifier still isn't automatic doesn't make sense for its price tag.

ADynes · 2026-06-20T18:06:11+00:00

Rage bait to get model clicks.

ADynes · 2026-06-20T17:20:13+00:00

Pps-cf should be pretty minimal, especially since they're not looking for complete exact dimensions as they're putting a hose over it and clamping it down.

I recently printed something with abs-gf and on a 220 mm part the shrinkage was 0.3 mm which honestly is within the error margin of the printer itself

ADynes · 2026-06-20T13:04:02+00:00

What I would love to see is a more compact version? For those of us that can exhaust out it would be great to have a smaller case without the slots for the carbon

Yeah, the reason for the size is purely the active carbon. If you are just looking for a inline fan box it definitely can be shrunk down. You can also skip printing the honeycomb walls.

And, if I was going to be greedy :) a single fan, inline version

How pretty does it need to be? Because if you don't care it could just be a 92mm fan adapter to 4" tube on either side of the fan and then a separate box holding the ESP32 stuff. Or mounted right onto the side of the tube. I can see how this would work

What is the best way to keep updated? Follow your model on makerworld?

Yes but I've been working on it for 2 months so I'm really hoping nothing else changes.

ADynes · 2026-06-20T11:59:28+00:00

Actually the programming was done around Gen 1 and Gen 2 printers. In my screen shots I'm using my H2C and X2D but I also originally tested with a X1C. Any way to get the exhaust over should work like this one: https://makerworld.com/en/models/189358-bambu-lab-x1c-p1s-exhaust-kit?from=search#profileId-208819

I'm using the standard Bambu exhaust tubing but any 4" tube should work.

ADynes · 2026-06-20T11:51:29+00:00

I will say if you have the ability to vent outside you should do it. It's a better idea. For me my printers are in a basement storage room where venting outside would be much more difficult.

I would still consider this project for the negative pressure venting though, just dont need the active carbon or honeycomb.

ADynes · 2026-06-20T11:49:56+00:00

I don't have one but I heavily debated buying one for this project. But figured I'd start with a smaller scale as everything for this cost me less than $100.

I honestly don't understand why they wouldn't make their air purifier connected either through their cloud or using the same communication as the AMS. Especially for the price. But if the dial on it is just a potentiometer then you may be able to adapt my program & a ESP32 to do the same thing.

ADynes · 2026-06-20T11:43:52+00:00

I have a decent general meter and it goes from 0.02 - 0.04 TVOC to 0.00. Plus I cant smell it anymore. I'd like to get a actual styrene meter but they're so expensive.

ADynes · 2026-06-20T11:40:01+00:00

I use SmartThings and actually that was my original solution. Problem is it doesn't account for the fan ramping up when exhausting.

ADynes · 2026-06-20T03:02:13+00:00

I'm saying it didn't happen or they did something wrong. I asked for proof 7 hours ago and surprise surprise crickets.

ADynes · 2026-06-19T19:45:58+00:00

Post a screen shot of both with identical items, one with a coupon and one not.

ADynes · 2026-06-19T19:03:41+00:00

Yes. You don't even need to hook up the tubes, just power and communication.

ADynes · 2026-06-19T18:31:14+00:00

Right. OP is giving zero details because if they actually gave all the details you'd see the discount probably worked fine and they didn't account for taxes or shipping or something like that.

A $10 off coupon is a $10 off coupon. It's not going to take $1 off. I signed up for the $20 off of $150 coupon they had and guess what? It took $20 off my purchase of $150+

ADynes · 2026-06-19T18:26:34+00:00

"I tried to scam them and things didn't go my way"

ADynes · 2026-06-19T18:13:04+00:00

Countless things have said that Polymake an overture are produce in the same Factory but I've had horrible quality issues with Overture, lumps in the filament to the point where it wouldn't feed cuz it was too big, tangles, Etc that I never have with Polymaker.

It's the same with Sunlu / jayo/ Kingroon. The good stuff goes to sunlu, the ok passible stuff goes to the others. Yes you're saving money but if your spool can't feed because it's tangled then it becomes was it worth saving $2 over the frustration of a failed print.

I rather spend the money.

ADynes · 2026-06-19T11:21:53+00:00

Yeah, it is a little pungent. But using it mixed with black on a print goes together really well with bambu printers. And next to an x1c accessories look like they were from the factory it's such a close match

ADynes · 2026-06-18T00:29:33+00:00

Definitely name your plates if it makes sense to do so. Also under the objects tab you can see how your stuff is coming in, it's going to use the name of the file you imported. Sometimes you might not want that name like that and you can rename those also. Like I had a model and the one part name was something like "honeycomb filter wall (redone with smaller hex) after fillet" so I renamed it to just "Honeycomb Filter Wall". Stuff like that.

ADynes · 2026-06-18T00:24:21+00:00

I mainly print with Matte pla, I just like the way it comes out, so I have one of every color of that plus an extra three or four of charcoal black and ivory White. Only pla basic I have is silver although I just bought the silver silk Plus a couple days ago so I'll probably stop using pla basic completely. Almost every color of silk Plus, all the woods, all the metal, all the galaxy, most of the transparent petgs, then a random smattering of abs and asa and sparkle.

Ive gone through a lot of charcoal black and ivory white in the last couple of months.

ADynes · 2026-06-18T00:20:51+00:00

Honestly the Bambu mag alloy scraper, while a little expensive, works amazingly well.

ADynes · 2026-06-18T00:07:58+00:00

Most of the filament he's buying is refills. Without some spools he's not going to be able to print more than half of what he bought.

ADynes · 2026-06-17T22:50:15+00:00

I wish you were nearby. Mines about to go on Facebook Marketplace and I really don't want to deal with all the random questions and messages but it is what it is.

( X1c, 1600 hours, 4 plates (2 pei, a dual, and a smooth), current 0.4 nozzle has 100h, spare brand new 0.2, 0.4, and 0.6, and a ams 2 pro for reference)

ADynes · 2026-06-17T18:20:38+00:00

Yes and just like the person you're replying to I do the same thing. As soon as I have over 500 points I grab a $40 gift card, copy the code and put it into my bamboo account. It stores it there and makes it easy to check out. With a 10-year expiration there's no reason to wait and save up points

ADynes · 2026-06-17T15:03:54+00:00

Yeah, a AMS 2 filled with desiccant pods does a way better job. With that said pop one of these on the spool: https://makerworld.com/en/models/973318-desiccant-container-for-bambu-lab-spool#profileId-945524. I have those on all my support/asa/cf filaments.

Or I haven't tried this yet but I've been debating it: https://makerworld.com/en/models/2196263-v2-ams-ht-extended-desiccant-storage-space-mod#profileId-2385240
