I print a lot and on different printers, mostly petg, some abs and tpu. All of them require some configuration unless you are extremely lucky or print with filament from the same brand as a printer. Bbl (including x1) isn’t better or worse in this regard in my experience.
Comment on Do you guys know how awesome a printer is that is just working?
FBJimmy@lemmus.org 17 hours agoNot my experience. I’ve had my X1C for a year now and have not had to ‘dial in’ a single thing.
Most of my prints are functional items in PETG of various colous. Some PLA for cosmetic parts. And I did some things in TPU earlier in the year. Probably been through like 10kg of filament on it.
Can’t think of a single serios print failure that wasn’t human error - e.g. forgot to clean the bed, didn’t support it properly.
My one gripe is that when changing PETG reels, it doesn’t always manage to wipe the nozzle very well leaving a few rogue stringy bits that usually just pull off.
And obviously I don’t love the closed-wall software situation, but their software is pretty good.

I just bought some of these to replace the wiper and they seem to work well so far, but I’ve only got a few prints on them so far. th3dstudio.com/…/bambu-x1-p1-upgraded-nozzle-brus…
