Bambulab X1E

Machine status: Ready to use

Check out this page for general information on 3D printing with our printers.

Our Bambulab X1E is a high-performance FDM 3D printer with advanced capabilities, including a fully enclosed build chamber and high-speed printing. Like its smaller sibling, the Bambulab A1 Mini, it features an Automatic Material System (AMS) for seamless multi-material printing and automated filament switching. Both printers joined our lab in 2024, expanding our capacity for rapid prototyping and complex manufacturing projects.

This printer can deal with most filaments. Currently, we have PLA, PETG HF, PLA CF, TPU, and PAHT CF available. It can print all of these materials, except TPU which can not be used in the AMS, because the BambuLab X1E is only intended to be used with the AMS. If you want to print with very soft TPU that is not explicitly labeled as "good for AMS", look at our BambuLab A1 mini.

AMS

We have three AMS (Automated Material System) for this printer. You can change filaments for your prints. However, we try to keep the AMS as full as possible and keep the most important filaments in there at all times so that there is a high probability that no filament change is needed. Roughly follow this scheme:

• AMS A: Two white and two black PLA spools. This is by far the most common material needed for printing.
• AMS B: One white and one black PETG spool. Rest is arbitrary.
• AMS C: Arbitrary.

Modifications

The X1-series has some print error issues with its built-in nozzle wiper. So we used this adapter and exchanged the regular nozzle wiper with it.
