Best 3D Prints that Make Your Bambu Lab Printers So Much Better Part 3

If you were new to the Bambu Lab 3D printers, this article will be important and make your printers so much better and probably save you some filament as well.

I started to use Bambu Lab printers for some filament projects since last August, now I have all series, except P1P, X1 and X1E. Like many other users, I have tried quite a lot of prints for better experiences, 8 month is a period to find out what really fit my needs.

Next, I will share with you the final prints that remain on my list.

3D Printed Tools

Good tools will save you so much time. For example, a PETE tube removal tool helps to disconnect the PETE tube in a few seconds, while it is going to take you a lot of time to try without this tool. Tools are very important to make our 3D Printing experience better, luckily, there are thousands of tools for all kinds of purposes on Makerworld. But a new question comes out, which tool is the best? Printing them all and testing seems to be a money-wasting thing for a maker.

This article will try to help you with it. I will list all my daily used tools and tell the reason. Since I have tried the most popular ones for every purpose, the final winners left on my list should be able to solve you some time and money.

Next, I will show you the list by model and purpose. You can skip to the model you use to find what you need.

A1 Mini and A1

1.  A1/A1 mini  Cable  elastic  conduit by ShapeX

https://makerworld.com/models/208664

The limp cable is one of the big issues of Bambu Lab A series of 3D printers, it gets tangled with the gantry and causes printing failure from time to time. The worst thing is it might cause the printer to become defective. And this issue is more critical on A1 Combo. This cable elastic  conduit helps to avoid this issue.

2. A1/mini PTFE tubes clip By Bogdy0404

https://makerworld.com/models/504689

The PTFE Tube is still movable, so this clip is necessary to secure the PTFE tubes and cables.

3. EZ A1 PTFE Remover Tool By chip_m

https://makerworld.com/models/392785

Without this tool, the PEFE Tubes are too hard to remove. It is small then the normal one, you must use something like tweezers to push the black components, then drag the tube out, that usually requires two people and may damage the tube.

This tool nail it. And another thing make it stand out among many others is attaching to the toolhead. I have tried many similar tools, some of them are great or even better, but they all end up lost. Attaching to the toolhead means no need to spend time on finding it.

4. A1 A1mini HotEnd Sock Remover By G3DS

https://makerworld.com/models/422022

People may not know that the front cover of the A series can be removed easily. I know it because I broke one clip when I removed the cover on my A1. Even though I know the trick, removing the silicon sock is another challenge for me. A series has a simple structure for removal and maintenance, but removing the front cover and silicon sock is difficult for some new users. This tool can help to remove both. Since the latest model Bambu Lab H2D uses the same hotend, this tool can also help to remove the silicone sock.

P1P,P1S,X1 and X1E

For the Bambu Lab P and X series, there are some must-print tools that we all know, such as the dust cover and Scraper Grip, my list will skip them.

5. AMS Saver V5 By madizmo

https://makerworld.com/models/172221

This thing has two purposes: protecting the filament slots and preventing the filament tail from getting stuck in the AMS.

After long-term use, the filament is going to cut into the filament slot and cause some issues, you need to replace the unit when it happens. But the hugest challenge is AMS stuck. When a spool runs out, the filament tail will be dragged to the slots. The most common situation is the filament tail broken by the motor, then it splashes away. But there are small chances that the filament is too huge, it gets stuck and causes the motor to overload. The worst situation is a nightmare. The filament tail happens to be small enough to enter, but stuck between the gears. There is no chance that you can pull it out of the slot.

So, you need to pull the filament out from the other side, or you must disassemble the AMS to pick it out. Disassembling the AMS is not an easy thing that new users can handle.

The AMS saver solves both problems totally. It protects the filament slot and prevents the filament tail from getting stuck. If you use AMS, it is the tool that must be printed.

6. Better PTFE Chain Clips for Bambu Labs P1P,P1S,X1C By qiqiji

https://makerworld.com/models/242037

These PTFE Clips are one of the must-print tools. For the link version, it is attached to the chain very well and holds the PTFE tube tightly. Sooner or later, the PTFE tubes of your printer wear out and brake, you must replace them, but PTFE Clips make it happen later. That’s why you need it.

7. YIBOX—Bambu Lab P1S and X1 Series AMS All-in-One Riser YBS 2.0 By YiBox

https://makerworld.com/models/768312

Another tool that must print for AMS users. Most people will not realize it until one day the filament break out from the side way of the tube. The top lid is too close to the PTFE tube, so it rubs the tube when the toolhead is moving. It takes about 3 to 4 months for the PTFE tube to break.

Now, you can do a quick check by touching the PTFE tube, you should be able to find the flat surface, which is the wake point where the filament breaks out from.

There are a lot of AMS Risers, but this print remains on my list for a few reasons. First, easy to print. The main body is on one plate, not complicated at all, which also makes it easy to assemble. Second, it saves material. After my first surprise morning, I printed 3 sets of it for my 3 P1S. Although it takes only a little material, the structure is very strong, no issues in the past few months. Saving material means saving money and shorter printing time. Most riser requires quite a lot of hours and materials to print. Third, I can add what I want. So, I added a toolbox on two of my P1S to put some wrenches and Scraper Grip.

After that, is all about maintenance.

8. lead screw cleaner by SvVo3D

https://makerworld.com/models/1037829

I have 6 Bambu Lab 3D Printers, almost covering all the product lines, all of them come with clean lead screws. All the new machines should be the same. But the lead screws all end with dirty black oil. I guess it is dust and grease.

After trying almost every tool for cleaning it, I found this tool. It cleans the lead screws as brand new. The handle gives you more control of the cleaning while many others spin with the rotation and doesn’t fit the screw well.

9. Special grease gun for threaded spindles H2D, P1S, X1C By practical3D

https://makerworld.com/models/1041623

I have printed and tried a lot of tools for adding grease, but none of them works perfectly, especially to the lead screws, so I end up use my fingers to add grease. Then I found this tool. It is the ultimate grease gun I need.

I print this tool with transparent PETG, use the stick to add grease into both guns, then use lead screw version to grease the rails, then the lead screws. After that, I use the syringe one to grease the liner rails. The designer even gives them lids, so that we can seal everything and leave it for the next time.

10. Bambu Lab AMS Hub PTFE Release By CitySideGig

https://makerworld.com/models/14165

Sometimes you need to disconnect the PTFE tube, then you will realize it is so dame hard with tools like a screwdriver. The worst thing is that you might break the tube. This PTFE release remains on my list for two reasons: easy to print and easy to keep. Just print a bunch of them, and leave them on every PEFE tube, then they will help you sometime.

H2D

The Bambu Lab H2D is the latest model that is released on March 25, tools, models, laser designers and projects are still growing and testing. I will update this part according to my own experience.

11. AMS 2 Pro Funnel Saver (H2D) By YelTrik Designs

https://makerworld.com/models/1307105

The same reason for the AMS. Although the AMS 2Pro changes the structure and makes it easier to fix and maintain, fixing the AMS is still an annoying thing, especially when it can be avoided.

12. T-pose - slim H2D dual AMS riser by Henryk

https://makerworld.com/models/1281134

This tool was designed because of some features of the H2D that most makers won’t know.

So here are the related features and some others:

a) Filaments don’t share across nozzles (That’s why you need two AMS/AMS 2Pros)

b) Filament doesn’t auto-refill cross nozzles

c) An external power supply is required for extra AMS 2Pro or AMS HT

d) Only the right nozzle supports TPU printing

e) Mind the power, check Bambu Lab Printer and AMS power parameters

Due to the above features:

1 You need double materials with the same color for each nozzle, and cut the model into two parts so that you can use the full print volume.

2 The filament cannot auto-refill even if you have the same material with the same color on another nozzle, and it is printing in the cross area.

3 An AMS HT or a filament dryer is required to print multiple materials.

4 Use a single power supply on H2D, or it’s going to overload and trip.

After all, you need this tool because you need a second AMS/AMS 2Pro/AMS HT for the second nozzle. With only one AMS 2Pro, the H2D is typically a P1S with an extra controllable external filament slot. If you bought the second AMS/AMS 2Pro, this tool will be useful. Currently, it is the best.

13 H2D PTFE Tube Holder Secure Bracket for TPU Feed By K2_Kevin

https://makerworld.com/models/1389085

Multi-material printing is one of the top features of the H2D, but if you have ever tried it, you would print this tool for use.

To print TPU, you need to disconnect the PTFE tube of the right nozzle, then put it into the TPU port. Believe me, you won’t want to do it for a second time. Then release the PTFE tube on the right nozzle. Then, put the TPU from the external rack or the TPU port on the AMS HT, and drag it out from the other side. After that, heat up the right nozzle to 250 degrees. Then put the TPU in and click the down button on the screen slowly to load it. Finally, you can put the PTFE tube back and start printing.

But now you just need to put a piece of PTFE tube in this holder, settle it with the tube clip, then insert it into the TPU port, then the AMS HT or external rack. This tool saves so much time.

General Use

After that, some tools are for all series.

14 Build Plate Holder By Idea Lab

https://makerworld.com/models/1305870

It is stylish, small, and just fits my need to keep and arrange my PEI sheets. As a guy who has many machines, I also have quite a lot of PEI sheets for every printer for different purposes. For example, I have PEI sheets for transparent PETG, normal PLA/PETG, and prints that require good bed adhesion.

15. Filament Clip By Idea Lab

https://makerworld.com/models/676786

I use filament switcher and spool-less filaments a lot, so I find this tool and install it on every Bambu Lab Spool. It arranges the filament thread very well and does not interfere with the AMS. 

Arranging the filament thread well is a good habit to avoid filament tangling. Do not release the thread until you settle it down with the spool holes or filament clip.

That’s it, 15 best 3D printed tools that make your Bambu Lab 3D printers so much better. My printing on H2D is getting longer, and it must make this list longer after more best tools have been tested out. So, add this to your bookmarks and come back from time to time, you won’t regret it.
