Commissioning
For the next steps I would recommend to place the printer where it will stay. A solid, stable surface is advisable in any case. After connecting the power cable, the P1S welcomes us with the initial setup.
By the way, the warnings are to be taken seriously. So quickly check again whether all screws at the red arrows have really been removed.
Thenext step is to select the region so that the correct server can be addressed directly.
That’s right, a server. Because without an Internet connection and coupling via the app, not much is possible at first.
Although there is no direct cloud requirement, there are significant restrictions in functionality.
After the print bed has been raised a bit, the last bit of transport protection can then be removed.
The self-test of the printer is then started.
I would advise keeping the front door closed to avoid falsifying the measured values.
And if everything went well, it is confirmed again with a positive confirmation on the small display.
This isimmediately followed by a firmware update, which I installed right away.
I also performed most of my tests with the version shown here.
Software
Thein-house slicer Bambu Studiois used to control and transfer the print jobs . I usedversion 01.07.06.92. The source code of this software is open source and available on Github, in large parts it is based onPrusaSlicer and Slic3r.
To explain all the features here would go beyond the scope, but much of it is not a unique selling point of Bambu Studio. But I would like to show some special features, starting with the possibility to save multiple plates in one 3mf project.
So a complex print consisting of several parts including specific settings can be saved in only one file.
Working in several steps or “tabs” is somewhat reminiscent of the workflow from the video editing program DaVinci Resolve 18 from Blackmagic Design. A bit unfamiliar at first, since the interface of the printer is also called up in the slicer and not via a web page, but you get used to it.
I would also like to briefly touch on the app called “Bambu Handy” here. Thefollowing rights are required and data is collected for use:
At the first start, there is not much to see, but the top right can be used to add your own printer.
And how could it be otherwise, without an account, of course, not much works. So you have to create one first.
The printer can then be linked to the account. It isbest to be in the immediate vicinity so that the Bluetooth connection works.
There isalso a warning regarding the various screws that have to be removed.
If you use an AMS system, it can also be controlled directly via the app. This saves the somewhat cumbersome control via the small display on the printer itself.
Thecalibration of the printer can also be started in the app and the progress monitored.
And of course, a live view via the integrated camera should not be missing.
Thehistory of the printed objects can also be displayed.
If necessary, you can also repeat a job directly without having to go to the computer.
Since access is via the cloud and not directly via the printer, the whole thing also works outside the home network. I’ll come back to this point later.
