Overview: Bambu Labs P1S 3D Printer

The P1S is a fast, enclosed 3D printer that's great for both beginners and experienced users. It’s made by Bambu Lab and is known for high speed, good print quality, and easy setup.

Key Features:

• Build Size: 256 x 256 x 256 mm
• Enclosed Design: Keeps heat in, reduces smells, and allows printing with materials like ABS and ASA
• Fast Printing: Up to 500 mm/s with smooth, high-quality results
• Auto-Leveling: Little to no manual setup is needed
• Filtration System: Carbon filter for better air quality
• High-Temp Printing: Can handle up to 300°C for a wide range of materials
• Multi-Color Printing: Compatible with Bambu’s AMS system, which lets you print in up to 4 colors

Yes, you can use different types of filament together, but you must select compatible materials carefully. Successful multi-material prints require compatible printing temperatures and materials that can bond well. 

Bambu Labs Dos and Don'ts

Bambu Labs Dos:

1. Check-in: Sign in at the front desk before accessing the creative technology room. Staff will confirm your certification is on file.
2. Learn: Familiarize yourself with the Bambu Labs software to enhance your creativity.
3. Safety First: Keep hands away from moving parts. Wait for the print bed to cool before removing prints. Open the room door or use the air filter for ventilation when needed.
4. Materials: Make sure the filament is compatible with the Bambu Labs P1S printer. All filaments should be labeled.
5. Filament Use: Choose the right filament and follow on-screen instructions. Use the assistive piece for smaller filament rolls.
6. Clean: Clean the printer and tidy the area after use.
7. Monitor: Stay present while the printer is in use to handle any issues.
8. Projects: Make sure your model fits the print bed and adheres to time and filament limits. You can bring in your own filament for a project, but a library staff member must vet it. Export models as .STL or .3MF and slice in Bambu Studio.
9. Time: Projects must be completed within 2 ½ hours and 30 minutes before closing. Projects that exceed 2 ½ hours must be approved by a library Supervisor.
10. Personal Use: All prints should be for personal use only. Please get with a librarian if you have questions about personal and commercial use.

Bambu Labs Don'ts:

1. Self-Repair: Don't try to fix the 3D printer yourself—contact library staff for help.

2. Canceling jobs: Try not to cancel prints unless absolutely necessary. Ask staff for help if needed.

3. Prohibited Materials: Don’t use glue sticks or scrapers on the print bed. It’s magnetic and can bend easily to remove projects.

4. Never Leave Unattended: Always monitor the 3D printer while it's running.

5. Open the Door: Don’t open the door while printing; the bed is hot, and the nozzle moves quickly.

6. Fumes or Smoke: If you notice a strong smell or see smoke, stop the printer and check for issues.

7. Materials: Be careful with new materials, as not all filaments work with the Bambu Labs 3D printer.

8. Be Afraid to Ask: Don't hesitate to ask library staff for assistance if needed.

9. Manage Time: Keep track of your time while using the printer.

10. Commercial Use: The 3D printer is for personal projects, not for commercial purposes.
