Bambu Lab X1 Combo & X1-Carbon Combo 3D Printer Quick Start
Please review the entire guide before operating the printer.
Safety Notice: Do not connect to power until assembly is complete.
Component Introduction
The Bambu Lab X1 series 3D printers feature several key components:
- Tool Head: Houses the printing mechanism.
- Touch Screen: For user interface and control.
- Glass Cover Plate: Protects the build area.
- Chamber Camera (X1-Carbon Only): Monitors the printing process.
- Build Plate: The surface where the object is printed.
- Auxiliary Part Cooling Fan (X1-Carbon Only): Aids in cooling printed parts.
- Air Filter: Cleans the air from the printing process.
- Bambu Micro Lidar: Used for calibration and precise measurements.
- PTFE Tube: Guides the filament.
- Belt Tensioner: Maintains optimal belt tension.
- Bambu Bus Port (4-Pin): For connecting accessories.
- Excess Chute: Collects excess filament or material.
- Power Socket: Connection for the power cord.
The Automatic Material System (AMS) has the following parts:
- Buckle: Secures the AMS cover.
- Bambu Bus Cable 6-Pin Interface: Connects the AMS to the printer.
- Filament Outlet: Where filament exits the AMS.
- Desiccant: Helps keep filament dry.
- Filament Inlet: Where filament is loaded into the AMS.
Accessory Specification
The printer comes with various accessories:
- Touch Screen
- Spool Holder
- Filament Sample
- Spare Hot End
- Nozzle Wiping Pad (x2)
- Power Cord
- Spare Filament Cutter (x2)
- Bambu Bus Cable-6Pin
- Allen Key H1.5
- Allen Key H2

AMS & Tool Head Unlock
- Take out the accessory box. Use Allen Key H2 to remove the screws as pictured.
- Take out the AMS by sliding it out through the top.
- Remove the four screws as indicated by the arrows.
- Take out the AMS cushioning.
- Remove the cardboard from the tool head and the foam from the excess chute.
We recommend using the short end of the Allen Key to unlock the screws more easily.
AMS Assembly
Connect the AMS to the printer using the provided cables:
- Connect the 550mm PTFE Tube and 370mm PTFE Tube.
- Connect the Bambu Bus Cable-6Pin and Bambu Bus Cable-4Pin to the appropriate ports on the printer.
The 6-pin cable can be plugged into either interface.
Spool Holder Assembly
- Remove the screw as pictured with an Allen Key H2.
- Secure the spool holder with two screws from the accessory box.
Hot Bed Unlock & Screen Installation
- Remove the three screws with an Allen Key H2 to unlock the hot bed.
- Gently pull the Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC) out about 50mm.
- Insert the FPC into the port by pressing the terminal as pictured.
- Insert the screen back into the slot on the printer, then lock it by pushing it to the left.
Printer Binding
- Download the Bambu Handy App. Register and log in to your Bambu Lab account.
- Connect the printer to power and follow the on-screen instructions until you reach the QR code page.
- Use Bambu Handy to scan the QR code on the printer's screen to bind your printer with your Bambu Lab account.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the initial calibration.
DO NOT remove the protective foam from beneath the hot bed until after the initial calibration is complete.
It is normal to have vibration and noise during the calibration process.
First Print
- Prepare the AMS by placing at least one spool of Bambu Filament into it. Ensure desiccant is properly placed.
- Turn on the power to start the printer and the AMS. Insert the filament into the filament inlet. The filament will be automatically pre-loaded.
- Apply a thin layer of glue on the build plate (Bambu Cool Plate).
- On the printer's screen, navigate to "Internal" and select a file to start the first print.
We recommend first printing a single-color model with the supplied Bambu PLA Basic. We also recommend using one of the pre-loaded files as a first test print.
Bambu Studio
Download Bambu Studio from: https://bambulab.com/download
Log in to Bambu Studio with your Bambu Lab account. Create or open a project.
Slice the model, select your printer, and send the model to print.
We recommend performing bed leveling before each print and performing flow calibration after changing filament.
During printing, you can remotely monitor your print, or pause/stop printing on the "Device" interface.
The live view can be seen only if a camera is mounted.
