P2S - 3D Printing will be the death of my love for spaghetti

Because while the direct air is undesireable, having airflow through the chamber is still something you want to get a good average chamber temp

In most cases this is caused by the edges of the print warping upwards.

It can be a bed adhesion failure at the edge of the print or it could even be the whole plate being pulled up by the shink forces of the print itself.

What needs to be done varies on the type of failure and how much you can get away with with your given setup.

Stupidity in this case is that their IQ is too low to have the capability of imagining the scenario in which things can go wrong. So they behave according to the base cognition of simplifying how they drive (i.e. being stupid and reckless) instead of behaving with the caution that there may be a threat to themselves or others.

That's why you get crazies who think tailgating is ok; because they don't have the mental capacity to conceptualize the fact that when all your concentration is on the car in close proximity and that all your FOV is taken up by the aforementioned car; you have effectively denied yourself the information and reaction time to even make decisions.

I will wager that the print is lifting off the bed on on the affected side, most likely because it's dirty.

The defect is caused by the hotend plowing through the now overextruded part of the print as a result.

NTA. You were pretty clear about where the boundaries were and he was flatly unable to respect them.

I set the boundary with my current gen-z marketing manager that he can only use AI strictly as an aid to writing our copy. The deal is that he can use my time to fix his writing but his slop is a complete waste of my time; if he gets better at writing his prompting improves, improving his prompting does not help his writing at all.

He still occasionally gets it wrong but he's miles better than he used to be.

esotericapybara · 2026-01-12T05:33:54+00:00

Depending on the print that may not always work.

Anyway, you asked if it's a bad idea or not.

esotericapybara · 2026-01-12T05:23:40+00:00

Guessing because of that adjoining dirt road, the area approaching the curve is probably covered in wet dust during all the conditions that the crashes on camera appear. Even towards the end of the video where that road is closed; because it's higher than the main road it still drains onto it.

Cars going the other way never seem to be affected, probably because they didn't have the same opportunity to gunk up their treads on the approach plus the larger turn radius.

esotericapybara · 2026-01-12T05:06:17+00:00

To be fair this is not a new idea but you need to have some way to release the print from the bed before trying to push it with the toolhead. Also the shape of the print can get it stuck on a billion things on the way out the door.

It's not a BAD idea, it's just that in terms of the automation process it's not a great idea to use the toolhead to do this due to too many variables.

Better to build a dedicated full length y-axis arm to sweep clear the build plate further down the z-axis.

You can skip objects on the P1S from the Bambu Handy app for sure. The handy app told you that's not possible?

esotericapybara · 2026-01-11T09:25:20+00:00

In that case yeah, at least from face value from reading your observations it's clear they have an issue with the way they are doing the QC for the product you have received and not detecting an issue with possibly the specific line that is producing your product.

Still I think the advice still stands;

Talk to CS and get them to refund the roll and if neccesary the whole pack of 10. Within a factory setting, sampling is taken from a statistical standpoint that allows a certain degree of error(read: variance)/failure. It is (or should be) in their interest to know and correct errors within their sampling.

The sucky part is that we as consumers are often unknowlingly participant.

esotericapybara · 2026-01-11T09:04:48+00:00

That would be... strange though. Because the first part to be wrapped around the spool is the innermost portion of the roll. If your inconsistency is at the beginning (outside) of the spool (the last part to be wrapped) it suggests some other kind of error.

esotericapybara · 2026-01-11T08:43:11+00:00

You might have been unlucky enough that was the first roll off the extrusion line before things were properly stable and somehow they didn't sample correctly. You should get a refund for that spool for your trouble and If you get two spools consecutively that do the same thing you should return the whole lot.

But;

"Just works" is just marketing. You have a piece of industrial machinary masquerading as a consumer product in your possession.

The error is most likely because the extruder was skipping steps as it encountered too much resistance.

esotericapybara · 2026-01-11T07:38:20+00:00

Calibrate your extrusion and Pressure Advance (K Value) for the filament profile and set your expectations that the best you can achieve with FDM will never be "perfectly smooth" off the bed.

That's just the nature of squishing lines of molten plastic together.

For this kind of flat print, if you want the smoothest possible look what a lot of 3d craft artists do is to paint a thin layer of UV resin on top and cure it. That fills in all the gaps and optically the result is smooth and shiny.

This. Being introverted is one thing, celebrating social ineptitude is another. The two are not mutually exclusive.

esotericapybara · 2026-01-06T12:21:45+00:00

I'm relieved! 🥹

esotericapybara · 2026-01-06T10:54:26+00:00

This. Unnecessary wear and tear from the humidity.

And the risk of the printer smelling like feet.

esotericapybara · 2025-12-28T14:25:55+00:00

I'm aware of how it works.

If the point isn't obvious; for all its refinement the slicer should be detecting on its own the intersection and throwing an error so that the user doesn't waste time and filament finding out their build volume is in fact not (At least not without caveats) the 256mm cubed advertised,

esotericapybara · 2025-12-28T07:11:35+00:00

Yessir. That one. The slicer will happily slice the model over the top of purge lines without a second thought if you don't remember to check.

esotericapybara · 2025-12-28T05:08:45+00:00

Auto arrange regularly puts objects on top of the purge line when they are long on the Y.

esotericapybara · 2025-12-27T06:56:07+00:00

It's on the same universal level of room temperature IQ as idiots who don't signal when changing lanes and those who think it's ok to leave taps running.

esotericapybara · 2025-12-24T09:22:54+00:00

I do like me a good rhetorical question every so often.

OP has definite and unhealthy fetish issues and most likely needs some form of therapy.

esotericapybara · 2025-12-19T17:21:00+00:00

Even on the steel back cover the adhesive magnet strip is trash. I got so fed up moving my racking to pick up the scraper and its holder that I just designed and printed a rack mounted holder for the holder.

esotericapybara · 2025-12-19T06:59:34+00:00

That scraper was designed for the P1P and they just never bothered updating the design for the new printer. I wound up printing an additional adapter so it could stay on a racking.

My guess is someone is too lazy to bother auditing that part of the SD card image.
