¶ Note
Here's a list of some common questions about the X1 series of printers, if you want to know more exclusive X1E questions, please check out the Wiki X1E FAQ.
¶ What is the recommended ambient temperature and humidity for the X1 series printer?
The recommended ambient temperature of the P1 series printer is 10℃ - 30℃ (50°F - 86°F). The recommended humidity level is under 85%.
¶ Is the heated chamber of the X1 series actively heated?
No. The chamber temperature increases based on the temperature set for the heated bed and cannot be precisely controlled.
¶ Is the filament buffer needed for single filament printing? (For X1 or P1 Series)
When printing with a single spool of filament, the buffer is not needed, since the filament spool itself can be considered as a 'buffer'.
¶ What kind of maintenance is expected for the X1/X1C?
The X1/X1C doesn't need a lot of maintenance. Here's a link to a complete list of parts that can be consulted in this link.
¶ How to export the log file to a NEW support ticket?
The process is described in this Wiki article.
¶ How to export the log file to an EXISTING support ticket?
The process is described in this Wiki article.
¶ Does the X1/X1C support thermal runaway protection?
Yes. Both printers have thermal runaway protection enabled.
¶ What is the function of the X1 Series's buttons on top?
The left button is used to wake up the screen, and the second button is used to stop a print.
¶ Are other slicers compatible with the X1/X1C?
Yes, third-party slicers are supported, but they are not compatible with some functions of the printer like First Layer Inspection and AMS. We strongly recommend using Bambu Studio for the best print results.
¶ Is the X1 slower than the X1C?
Yes, the X1 is slower, mostly because of the cooling capabilities, and mostly for PLA. Printing fast requires good cooling and the X1C can do it with the integrated auxiliary fan. Upgrading the X1 with an auxiliary fan can improve printing speed.
¶ Is it possible to add an additional auxiliary fan for better cooling to the X1C?
The design of the printer is relatively compact, and there is not enough space to add a secondary auxiliary fan. The top glass cover can be opened to achieve better cooling.
¶ Is the LED light needed for the AI stuff to work?
Yes, vision inspection needs to be performed with LED light, but its accuracy is affected by factors such as ambient light, algorithm accuracy, sensitivity settings, etc., making it difficult to achieve 100% accurate identification. We will continue to improve the precision of our algorithms.
