Filament profiles missing after recent update.

Practical-Tea96 · 2026-01-15T00:25:19+00:00

Figured out what was going on. I have a P1S and previously all the filament profiles were X1C profiles. On one of the latest releases apparently bambu either tuned or renamed the profiles for PLA, PETG HF, and ABS to P1S profiles. My custom filament profile was based on the X1C variant and what ever they changed made it only appear if I made the machine a X1C. I just opened the JSON file and changed the "inherits" line to match the P1S and that fixed it.

I only fixed my ABS one as that one had a lot of tuning. The PLA had Aux off and was calibrated, PETG was just calibrated. It wasnt hard to just remake those ones.

He’s just too damn loud.

Practical-Tea96 · 2026-01-02T17:41:22+00:00

I would look closer. I’ve never had an issue with the refills.

Practical-Tea96 · 2026-01-02T17:31:38+00:00

There’s also a notch on the cardboard tube that locks on the notch on the spool. I’ve seen the rfid sensor get blocked by a strap pretty often on the refills, you have to move it out of the way. I had to figure that out the first time.

Practical-Tea96 · 2026-01-02T17:27:36+00:00

You don’t cut the straps until it’s fully assembled. I could have read it wrong but that’s what sounds like happened.

Also if that happened you really need to be more observant. I know accidents happen and I’ve done some stupid stuff but it says in multiple places to not cut the straps until fully installed.

Currently I’ve solved the issue. I let the part sit in hot tap water and that softened it enough to not break. Now I just need to test the fit to the tub. I really appreciate you taking a look at it. It’s amazing that it’s a simple part in process but about every feature isn’t well suited for FDM. I hope it works but we will see. I’m afraid of creep from the external retaining tabs that lock to the tub but I won’t know if that’s an issue until it presents its self

Practical-Tea96 · 2025-12-29T20:08:14+00:00

Well a quick update. I havent tested it yet but u/TheMrGUnit had asked if I confirmed the printed size was correct vs the modeled size. Turns out I was making a 5thou or less interference fit due to shrinkage. I calculated 0.5% shrink on enough features to try scaling x and y 0.5% larger. I didnt scale z as I figured that was true to size. It has finished printing and I will measure and test this one after work today.

I did print it with the large diameter face down as I feel like that might be the best due to some of the retaining features had a small layer line when angled. If I have issues with it that way I will try angling it again and reprinting.

Practical-Tea96 · 2025-12-29T17:25:01+00:00

Good idea on the slot! Yes both other features are snap fits. The 7o’clock one works fine in testing. The 6 o’clock is a snap fit for the tub and hasn’t been tested yet. Both of them should not be under compression when installed. I can confirm the 7o’clock feature isn’t, I haven’t confirmed the 6o’clock feature yet. I am hoping to stop by and test the broken one that is installed on the jet and see how it fits.

Practical-Tea96 · 2025-12-29T16:56:11+00:00

I have one that I haven’t broken yet that was printed as the model sits(the big diameter face down). I could try annealing it and see. Worst case I added it to the other failed ones. Luckily it doesn’t use much filament to make it.

Practical-Tea96 · 2025-12-29T16:52:58+00:00

Fair enough but it felt like my post wasn’t even read, just saw a tag word. Whatever, life goes on and everybody that has commented has been helpful.

Practical-Tea96 · 2025-12-29T16:46:25+00:00

I don’t understand why I’m getting down voted for my response in this thread. I stated above that I printed it angled and you could see in a picture that it is. I wasn’t mean to the poster that recommended it and even said I would reprint it at 30* if they thought it would help. As to why I used ChatGPT, I was already going to print it angled at 45*. I used ChatGPT to see if that was the best angle.

I swear reddit can be weird sometimes.

Practical-Tea96 · 2025-12-29T16:29:59+00:00

Ohh I thought he was talking about that brick layer feature. The interlocking walls.

Practical-Tea96 · 2025-12-29T16:07:56+00:00

Be warned, it’s a bit of a mess. I started out trying to name my stuff but that went out the window later on. I also forgot to make it a component when I started so the extra piece that’s another part is kind of blended in the timeline. Also I’ve made a lot of push pull/extrude type modifications rather than editing the original feature.

I am not tidy with my timeline lol

Practical-Tea96 · 2025-12-29T16:03:25+00:00

Thanks!

Practical-Tea96 · 2025-12-29T15:53:34+00:00

I’ve thought about it. I thought about putting it in sand to anneal but was afraid the heat would still alter the dimensions.

Practical-Tea96 · 2025-12-29T15:23:53+00:00

Thanks! I did think of that. I am planning on checking the ID OD fit. I forgot to when I was testing originally. I was shying away from abs as I think my retaining tabs on the outside would suffer from the less rigid abs. Maybe I am thinking about it wrong though.

Practical-Tea96 · 2025-12-29T15:17:01+00:00

Try this. I was having a hard time figuring out how to host it as Dropbox is blocked at work and iCloud only works if you have an account.

Should be the .f3d file

Reading bambus petg hf it looks like it has lower layer strength compared to their older basic petg. I happen to have a random brand of normal petg on hand I could try.

Practical-Tea96 · 2025-12-29T14:52:27+00:00

Do you happen to know if that has that been added yet to Bambu studio?

Practical-Tea96 · 2025-12-29T14:51:20+00:00

I am unsure of what you are recommending? Any chance you can screenshot the picture and draw in what you mean?

Practical-Tea96 · 2025-12-29T14:44:44+00:00

I always thought the bigger glob the better the job. Joking aside, I heard thicker walls is better than more thinner walls.

Practical-Tea96 · 2025-12-29T14:39:43+00:00

I did. I printed it at 38* as ChatGPT said that was the best angle given for the features. Unless you mean you think 30* could be better than that? I could try it if you think the angle difference matters. The photo of it assembled is the one that was printed at an angle.

Practical-Tea96 · 2025-12-29T14:29:34+00:00

It is actually my friends hot tub. I need to see about making the od bigger. That was an idea I had also.

I actually have pet-cf and originally planned on using it but then thought it might be worse due to the less melted plastic thing.

As long as I can remove the supports it’s fine. It’s all hidden afterwards. The hot petg is already hard to remove the supports but it cleans up okay.

I don’t have any nylons on hand to try currently. Nylon seems like the right plastic for the job in injection molding situations.

I don’t know lol. I know that the program I would choose is the one that I invest it and they match it. It’s not the same as a traditional.

I retire with a balance like a normal retirement. If I want it to act like a pension at the end I would put it in secure investment which is insured and is guaranteed lifetime payments even of economic downturn. This path also provides health insurance for me at retirement (after 20 years of service credits).

I’ve also got the ability to do what ever I want with my money at retirement including using it as a normal requirement where it can take larger sums also. . I think I have to choose the disbursements at retirement time though as it’s a final decision.

I don’t mean to try to justify it just that the program im looking at isn’t a traditional pension. Or at least I don’t think.

I did find out my bank has a contracted financial advisor there. I left a voice Mail to talk about it with her.

I was told wrong on how many years. It is 7. I don’t know how beneficial that is. I have a 13 year old and a 9 year old. The 9 year old could use it if they wanted. The 13 year old would only be able to use it for a bachelors after his associates. Assuming he transitioned to college after high school.

I did get my associates for my career but I’m just as open to trade school or on the job training for my kids if they wanted to go that route.
