Tool:BambuLab P1S (3D printer)

We have a BambuLab P1S 3D printer. We have a 0.4 mm nozzle, different PET-G and PLA filaments, a Bambu Textured PEI plate and Bambu Smooth PEI plate.

Software

To use this printer, you need the Bambu Studio software. This can be downloaded here: https://bambulab.com/en-eu/download/studio (free, Windows and Mac only) You need to create a (free) account, and log in. Then, connect to the BambuWifi. Ask someone for the password. When connected to the BambuWifi, the printer should be shown at the 'Device' tab. Click on the device and it asks you for the access code. This code can be found on the printer itself. Use the arrow keys next to the screen on the printer to navigate to Settings > WLAN > Access Code. Use this access code to connect your pc to the printer.

Set up project

In the 'Prepare' tab, place your 3d file and position it on the plate. Slice it (or click the 'Preview' tab), and you will see the estimated time and other stats. You can now send it to the printer.

After printing

The mat attaches to the print bed magnetically. It takes a little bit of force to pull off the mat from the print bed, it's easiest to start in a corner.

The printer always prints some exess filament on the bottom side of the plate. Please remove this after printing. Also, it's appreciated if you clean the mat with a little bit of bio-ethanol after your print.

Costs

You only pay for the filament. In the 'Preview' tab you see the amount of grams of filament your print will use. The costs are €0,03 per gram.

You can transfer the costs to the account `3d-printer` on RevBank. Use `give 3D-printer <amount>`, e.g. `give 3D-printer 6` if you printed 200 grams. Then, the next command is your username.
