The Bambu Lab X1C is an enclosed FFF 3D printer. It works drawing the object layer by layer with melted plastic. Use our printers to take an idea from the digital drawing board to real life. Use a CAD program to design something yourself or find an interesting design made by someone else. Make tabletop game miniatures, pencil holders, custom-fit hardware for DIY projects, replacement parts for broken appliances and everything in between. The size of printed objects is limited to 10 X 8.8 X 9.8" (255 X 225 X 250 mm).
What does the Makerplace provide?
- Bambu Lab X1C 3D Printers
- 3D print filament. See our price list for more details.
What do I need?
You will need to prepare a 3D design file in the .STL format.
How do I use it?
Submit a print through our 3D Print Submission Form. A Makerplace staff member will review your submission and reach out for more details if necessary. You will receive an email when your 3D printed part is complete and ready for payment and pickup at the Makerplace (within 5-10 business days).
What materials can I use?
Material types:
- PLA - black, gold, green, orange, pink, purple, red, white, yellow
- PLA is a popular material for 3D printing due to its ease of use, eco-friendliness, non-toxicity, high-quality prints, and affordability. It is made from renewable resources and can be composted, making it an environmentally responsible choice.
