Bambu P1P 3D Printer User Guide

  1. Load Filament:

    • Locate the filament loading mechanism on the printer.
    • Ensure the printer's nozzle is heated to the appropriate temperature for the filament material you intend to use. Refer to the filament manufacturer's recommendations.
    • Insert the end of the filament spool into the filament loading mechanism.
    • Follow the printer's instructions to feed the filament into the extruder assembly until it reaches the hotend.

  2. Find and Prepare Design:

    • Explore online repositories such as Thingiverse, MyMiniFactory, or Cults3D to find printable designs.
    • Download the desired 3D design file (typically in STL format) to your computer.
    • If needed, utilize 3D modeling software like Blender or Tinkercad to modify or prepare the design to suit your requirements.

  3. Set Print Preferences:

    • Open slicing software like Cura or PrusaSlicer.
    • Import the downloaded STL file into the slicer.
    • Navigate to the "Slice" or "Prepare" button to generate the G-code file.

  4. Print Design:

    • Transfer the sliced G-code file to the designated computer connected to the 3D printer.
    • Navigate to the printer's interface or dedicated printing software.
    • Click on "Slice Plate" to load the G-code file onto the printer.
    • Select an available printer from the list.
    • Click on "Print Plate" to initiate the printing process.

  5. Collect Print:

    • Once printing is complete, carefully remove the printed object from the build plate.
    • If the print requires further post-processing, such as removing supports or sanding, perform these tasks as necessary.
    • Inspect the printed object for quality and completeness.

  6. Return to Bed:

    • After removing the print, ensure the print bed is clear of any debris or filament remnants.
    • If the print bed is heated, allow it to cool down before starting a new print.
    • Carefully place the print bed back into the printer, ensuring it is correctly oriented and aligned.

Important Reminders:

  • Do not exceed 100% printing speed: To limit excessive wear on the machines, ensure that the printing speed is kept below 100%.
  • Do not disassemble the machines: Please refrain from taking apart the 3D printers or any other equipment. If you encounter issues, seek assistance from staff or area leads.
  • Seek help if it's broken: If you encounter any problems or notice any malfunctioning equipment, please ask for help rather than attempting to fix it yourself. Our staff and area leads are here to assist you.
