Bambu Lab X1E 3D Printer

TECHNOLOGY

The X1 3D printer is a machine that uses plastic filament as the material for creating 3D objects.

Most of the time, the printable objects are files with the .stl extension that hold the 3D model which needs to be processed before it’s ready to be printed with a piece of software called a slicer.

The slicer, in our case the Bambu Lab Studio, takes that .stl file and slices it into layers which are then printed by the X1. All these slices are then converted into code, a type of language which tells the machine how to move its axis to print the model.

Besides the movement, the slicer is also able to integrate various other settings inside the generated file, like the temperatures of the filament, printing speeds, and generate supports for some sections of the print.

The Bambu Lab X1 uses a CoreXY motion system controlled by two stepper motors. The X and Y stepper motors work together to move the printhead.

Every stepper motor has an independent belt that is connected to the print head, so a pair of belts is used to control its position. Having a CoreXY motion system allows the X1 to print much faster compared to a traditional cartesian printer because the weight is lower, which is important when it comes to printing fast.

The Z-axis is comprised of three lead screws that are connected to a single stepper motor using a belt.

Other 3D printers use three lead screws with a fixed bed to perform automated bed tramming but this is not the case on the X1. This kind of leveling system is not needed as the X1 heatbed can be trammed using the three leveling knobs underneath the bed if needed.

The X1 comes pre-leveled from the factory and it also has two other types of leveling systems to ensure the print is successful every time.

FEATURES

Enhanced And More Connection Options

Stable Ethernet Connection, WPA2-Enterprise Authentication Wi-Fi Connection

The X1E offers the option to connect to your devices through its newly added Ethernet port, ensuring robust network communication in complex environments. Ethernet connectivity can also be used in crowded wireless signal environments. Additionally, the X1E provides WPA2-Enterprise Wi-Fi Authentication (EAP-PEAP/EAP-TLS/EAP-TTLS) and individual physical kill switches for both Wi-Fi and Ethernet, meeting stringent network security requirements.

Off-Cloud Operation

Fully Functional With LAN Only Mode

The X1E can operate independently without a connection to Bambu Cloud Service, fully functional within your local network. Customers can remotely control the X1E through LAN communication without requiring an Internet connection. For additional customization details, please contact your regional reseller.

Heavy Duty Air Filtration

Effectively Filter Particulates And VOCs Generated by 3D Printing

We combined a G3 pre-filter, an H12 HEPA filter, and a high-quality coconut shell activated carbon filter to provide optimal air filtration. Enhanced filtration can effectively reduce excessive odors and particulates when printing in less ventilated environments.

Active Heating And Controlled Chamber Temp

Reduce Warping, Improve Layer Bonding

The X1E can actively heat and regulate the chamber temperature. Accurately controlled chamber temperature (up to 60°C or 140°F) improves print quality, especially for filaments prone to warping such as ABS and PC.

320 °C (608 °F) Nozzle Temp

More Heat For Higher Temperature Materials

Higher nozzle temperature make possible to print higher performance materials such as PPA-CF/GF, PPS and PPS-CF. These new materials have better dimensional stability, heat resistance and mechanical performance.

Robust High Speed CoreXY

Super Fast And Rigid Structure For Continuous High Speed Printing

The superior carbon-fiber rods in the CoreXY motion structure enable the X1E to achieve a toolhead acceleration of 20,000 mm/s² by reducing the weight of moving parts. This faster acceleration allows the X1E to maintain its maximum travel speed of 500 mm/s for longer periods, significantly reducing overall print time.

Vibration And Extrusion Compensation

Stable & Quality Prints Even At Higher Speeds

X1E can actively compensate for XY-axis vibrations and extrusion issues to ensure exceptionally smooth print quality. All measurements are fully automatic, eliminating the need for manual adjustments

AI Failure Detection

Reduce Filament Wastage And Machine Downtime

The X1E’s AI algorithm can detect first-layer imperfections and spaghetti failures with the assistance of Lidar and computer vision. It then automatically pauses the print to prevent catastrophic failures.

MATERIALS

X1E offers an additional chamber temperature heating control feature, with a maximum chamber temperature of 60 ℃.

High chamber temperatures can suppress the warping of certain high-temperature filament prints and provide them with higher interlayer strength.

When printing high-temperature filaments such as PC, PA-CF, PAHT-CF, PET-CF, PPA-CF, PPS, and PPS-CF, selecting X1E and enabling a chamber temperature of 60 °C can result in improved dimensional accuracy and visual quality of some prints. Furthermore, when printing the aforementioned high-temperature filaments, selecting X1E and enabling a chamber temperature of 60 ℃ can enhance the strength of some prints.
