The 0.6 nozzle is generally limited by the default volumetric speed. Change the Max volumetric speed in the filament settings tab if you want a faster print speed (18 is generally safe, but you'd have to calibrate and test yourself for higher reliable speeds/flow). That said, you can still save a little bit on print time by printing less walls with a .6 nozzle (0.6x2 walls = 1.2mm VS 0.4x3 walls = 1.2mm), same with top/bottom surface thickness and layer height. Infill is also sturdier due to thicker line width. Tbh though I like the idea of the printer moving slower with a bigger nozzle and still having the same print time... less wear on parts :D
Thank you for the tip. I could never figure out why printing with the .6 nozzle was not much faster, if at all, than printing with the .4 nozzle. Prints with the .8 nozzle take longer than both the .4 and .6
For the too much grease comment - if you clean regularly yes. There’s no too much. HOWEVER - grease attracts dust. Dust with grease clogs and binds. As metal on metal moves … metal shavings come off. And become part of the “grease blob”. That grease blob of metal shavings will scrape at the metal …. Opening canals up. Loosening tolerances. The more those blobs exist - and they are microscopic … the more the problem occurs. So. As long as you clean regularly. Too much is ok. If you don’t. Then it’s a problem.
@@FilamentFoundry true. Haha but the dust I’m referring to is that which comes with time naturally. It doesn’t take a lot to clump up. We deal with this a lot in metal work. If you over grease parts every time and don’t clean often. It’s fine. For a decade. But eventually it causes issues. (Yeah I know. Who’s gonna have the same printer that long??? Haha). Still. I was pointing out what “can” happen.
@@FilamentFoundry That is good to hear.... I have been printing non stop for 3 weeks and still running great. I keep thinking theirs something i need to be doing to keep it in great shape. Seems bambu labs made a great machine
@@matt-jc4ly you should be fine I run two of these in a print farm almost 24 7 only 3 weeks in you are totally fine unless there was some sort of flaw from factory but I doubt it I would just recommend dusting it every now and then
@@matt-jc4ly I'm only looking into maintenance only now after 2200 hours of printing time over 7 months. Some may call it neglect I call it that too but that way you see what these machines are capable of Still providing high quality prints all the way
Other serviceable parts that you forgot about was the filament cutter & also dusting/wiping the fans as they can get clogged up. Otherwise great video.
Thanks for the input I didn’t do them as the particular machine I was working on shouldn’t have needed them but it’s a good idea and I’ll cover them when they do
Yeah but for a lot of people this is there first printer and there here to learn . People don’t start off knowing everything and it’s up to us who have been in the space a long time to teach them

Also, 0.6mm nozzle have less clogging issues with pigment filaments.

Yeah your correct but I think if you have too much dust in your workspace you probably have bigger problems 😂😂

@@alecubudulecu o totally I see this all the time in the railway industry you are 100 % correct with that my friend
I have about 7500hrs on an E3 clone, it takes about that long@@alecubudulecu
Just bought a new P1s... How often should i be doing this and how often do i need to lube the screws?
Tbh I can’t remember what bambu recommends but I do mine every 6 months with all my printers and never had an issue

@@matt-jc4lyI’ve been going over a year and it’s fine, just a little dusting here and there. I am about to do a full maintenance however.
I just purchased a Bambu P1s and after a couple of prints I downloaded a model and it runs through the print but it’s not printing. Any ideas?
By any chance are you using pre sliced files like from maker world
Also is your filament loaded correctly?
Other serviceable parts that you forgot about was the filament cutter & also dusting/wiping the fans as they can get clogged up. Otherwise great video.

Once every 3 months is what I do
What he said lol
Hahahaha 😂😂😂
If you think this is daunting you probably shouldn't have a 3D printer.
