⚠️ WARNING ⚠️
This is an advanced 3D printer and requires extensive knowledge of 3D printing
The Advanced 3D Printing Quiz is required
This is a specialized filament printer, which means that you (the student) supply your own filament that we do not provide or higher-end fillaments to print on the Bambu X1C (ex. PC, TPU, etc. [not PLA/PETG])
Please talk to a staff member about printing on the Bambu X1C
Please read all the rules about this printer (scroll down)

While 3D Printers are quite safe machines, there are a few things to be aware of when using this equipment.
The hotend or nozzle is very hot (above 200 ℃!) so do not touch it when it is on.
The heated bed gets very warm as well-- please wait for it to cool to an appropriate temperature before removing your print.
As with any machine with moving parts, there is a danger of getting your fingers jammed when the motors are moving, so do not stick your hand in the printer while it is printing.
When removing parts from the bed with a spatula, always orient the tool away from yourself to avoid injury (Ask a staff member to remove prints)
Some methods of support removal may cause small pieces of supports to break away. Beware of flying debris and consider wearing eye protection and gloves to protect the skin and eyes.
You may not remove any prints from the printers. Only staff may remove prints.
You must complete the Advanced 3D Printing Quiz to use this printer.
Any print must be approved by a staff member.
Members are not permitted to change the materials without staff permission.
You must pick up your prints within a week otherwise they will be tossed.
Do not sign out of the account on the Bambu X1C
Usually it's safe to not touch the printer unless a staff member gives you permission to
Any person violating these rules risks their prints being canceled or losing access to the printers.
This 3D printer uses the same FFF 3D printing method as our other 3D Printers, the only difference is it has 4 separate materials it can print from! That means it can print up to 4 different colors for multi color or even multi material printing using its external AMS (Automatic Material System).
The Bambu X1C require that you have passed a quiz to use. Once you have access to the space, by filling out the agreement form, you may reference this page and the First Print Tutorial to pass the canvas quiz and try your first print. You may enroll in the canvas course here.
