The Bamboo Labs X1 Carbon came in late today. Easy set up. Here's the requisite 1st print PLA pre-sliced 17-minute benchy along with the splitter from printables.com out of PLA-CF. The splitter lets you run the 4 color AMS plus the 5th side mounted spool. You can't use the side spool and the AMS on the same print. You can run the 5th spool with the press of a button on the screen. I plan on using the 5th spool out of a heated box with TPU since the AMS can't handle TPU.
I'm not super network savvy. I hear there is a concern with the BBL printers sending a lot of non-printer information up stream. I am going to run it on a standalone ssid on the router for updates and then transfer print files from my computer to the printer via sneaker-net. I don't know if that will really help or not. I probably won't run the phone app.. After the updates I put the printer in WLAN mode for what thats worth.
Any ways, it fired right up, no issues. Its stupid fast to the point of being noisy just on the standard speed. There's talk of the PLA plate not wanting to stick. I did put the glue stick on and haven't had any issues with adhesion.
The slicer is pretty straight forward and has some neat features as well.
