7 Essential 3D Prints for Your Bamboo Lab X1 Carbon

If you've recently acquired a Bamboo Lab X1 Carbon 3D printer, you're probably excited to get started on your printing journey. To help you kick things off, here are the top seven things you should consider printing first on your new machine.

1. Benchy - The Benchmark Print

The first item on your printing list should undoubtedly be a Benchy. This adorable little boat serves as a benchmark print to test your printer's capabilities. It challenges your machine with overhangs, curves, surface details, and more. The Bamboo Lab X1 Carbon impressively slashes the typical Benchy print time to just 24 minutes, including calibration. Printing the Benchy first will give you a glimpse of the printer's speed and quality.

2. Purge Bucket for Filament Control

A Purge Bucket is essential to manage filament purging during loading and unloading. It helps prevent color mixing when changing filaments. Bamboo Lab offers a customizable Purge Bucket design that includes their logo, adding a touch of personalization to your printing setup.

3. Filament Y-Splitter for AMS Compatibility

For users with an AMS (Automatic Material Station) who also wish to print non-AMS materials, a Filament Y-Splitter is a game-changer. This handy tool simplifies the transition between AMS and external filament sources without constant reinsertion.

4. AMS Removal Tool for Easy Maintenance

The AMS Removal Tool is a small yet indispensable accessory for effortless removal of AMS guide tubes and pin cables. It streamlines the process of detaching components, making maintenance a breeze.

5. Vase - Showcase High Detail Printing

While not a necessity, a Vase is a delightful print to showcase your printer's prowess in handling intricate designs. It also makes for a charming gift idea due to its high level of detail.

6. Bamboo Scraper Blade - Utility Meets Sustainability

Included in the accessories box, the Bamboo Scraper Blade is a practical tool for print removal. You can 3D print a customized scraper holder using the file stored in the printer's memory. This sustainable solution ensures you always have a scraper on hand when needed.

7. Scraper for Easy Print Removal

Concluding the list is a Scraper designed for effortless print removal. Available as a file in the printer's memory, this scraper, when combined with a printed stand, offers convenience and efficiency in cleaning the build plate.
