Bambu Lab has pushed a firmware update that arrives with new features, improvements, and bug fixes for its X1 series of 3D printers.
Headlining Bambu Lab version 01.06.00.00 is a bug fix solving an issue that caused motor skipping when the heatbed was close to the bottom of the printer. This didn’t cause any damage to machines, Bambu Lab says, but did generate noise, which has been eliminated thanks to the fix.
On the new feature front, a just-added button on the X1’s screen allows users to select and skip failed prints when printing groups of models, so long as they are not using multicolored printing, working with more than 64 objects on the build plate, and have updated Bambu Studio to V1.6 or above.
Bambu Lab has also taken notice of offline users, adding support for Liveview in LAN mode – enabling them to view streaming video of their printer’s camera when not directly connected to the internet.
Several improvements to the X1 series have been implemented in the firmware update, with dynamic flow calibration and first layer inspection now supporting textured PEI build plates – for which first-layer detection support has also been added.
Moving on, users now have the ability to automatically calibrate flow rate using Bambu Micro Lidar, and can calibrate and batch-save flow dynamics parameters – which Bambu Lab says is similar to pressure advance in Klipper – for filament rows in the X1’s AMS. In further AMS news, a “filament backup” page aids users in checking what materials are set to replace finished spools, helping ensure that filament relationships are correct.
The full list of firmware changes is too long to list in-depth here, but you can get the full scoop on Bambu Lab’s wiki – or download the firmware and get started printing on GitHub.
