Always ensure bed leveling and flow calibration, especially for gears and axles when using this model! Calibration for Bambu Lab P1 is essential, particularly regarding linear advance.

I've uploaded some print suggestions in *.3mf format. Included are 5 print plates for Bambu Lab / Bambu Studio, with a PEI plate at the end of the list. Note: this is not a cold plate, so exercise caution.

Upon repeated testing, I encountered the same issue: the 45 mm axle (the driven one) broke! Using 3 walls and 25% infill isn't sufficient.

If you haven't printed it yet or experienced a breakage, please print it with:

• 0.16mm Optimal @BBL profile
• 5 or more wall loops
• 100% infill (sparse infill density)
• Rectilinear (sparse infill pattern - set automatically)
• speed outer wall (slow as possible for more accuracy) e.g. max 60 mm/s
• support (yes) normal (auto)

If the stronger printer settings for Axis 45mm are not enough, the you can also print the “Heavy Load” version (see folder “Heavy Load Parts”)

Centering discs:
If you need a special size, you can decrease or increase the next size in the slicer program.
E.g. if you need 51.5 mm, then you can take the 50 mm disc and scale up accordingly before printing.
(51.5 / 50 = 1.03, i.e. print 3% larger)
