Chamber temperature on the X1C is not actively heated. It rises with the heatbed and is not precisely controlled (FAQ).
AMS 2 Pro
This DTC machine uses AMS 2 Pro. Specs below are from the Bambu Lab AMS 2 Pro store page unless noted.
| Item | Official value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Body dimensions | 372 × 280 × 226 mm³ | Store specs |
| Net weight | 2.5 kg | Store specs |
| Housing material | ABS/PC | Store specs |
| Slots | 4, each with a feeder, motor, gears, and filament sensor; ceramic-reinforced anti-wear bushings at each feeder inlet | Intro and connection guide |
| Filament diameter | 1.75 mm | Store specs |
| Supported spool size | Width 50–68 mm, diameter 197–202 mm | Store specs |
| Filament supported | PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA, PET, PA, PC, PVA (dried), BVOH (dried), PP, POM, HIPS, Bambu PLA-CF / PAHT-CF / PETG-CF / Support for PLA/PETG, and TPU for AMS | Store specs |
| Filament not supported | TPE, generic TPU, PVA (damp), BVOH (damp), Bambu PET-CF / TPU 95A, and other filament that contains carbon fiber or glass fiber | Store specs |
| RFID | Supported; official Bambu tags enable remaining-filament estimation and auto filament backup | Store specs, intro and connection guide |
| Drying modules | Two modules (heaters, fans, temperature sensors); highest temperature 65 °C | Store specs, intro and connection guide |
| Active moisture discharge | Supported (actively controlled intake/exhaust vents) | Store specs |
| Sealed storage | Supported | Store specs |
| Temperature & humidity | Real-time display on the printer screen, Bambu Studio, and Bambu Handy | Store specs |
| Power input (drying) | 24 V 4 A official Switching Adapter | Store specs |
| X1C drying power | X1C cannot power AMS 2 Pro drying. Each AMS 2 Pro used for drying needs its own official Switching Adapter. Power icon on Drying and Humidity should be green. | X1C drying from screen, store FAQ |
| X1C connection | Filament buffer + PTFE + 4-pin (printer to buffer) + 6-pin (AMS 2 Pro to buffer). Users should not rewire; contact Ryan if disconnected. | Install AMS 2 Pro on X1C, intro and connection guide |
| Multi-AMS on X1 | Filament buffer is replaced by an AMS Hub; X1/P1 can connect up to 4 AMS units (AMS, AMS 2 Pro, AMS HT) | Store, install wiki |
| Firmware | Drying on X1C requires firmware that supports AMS 2 Pro drying | X1 firmware update |
Filaments the store marks with * for drying (ABS, ASA, PET, PA, PC, PVA, BVOH, POM, HIPS, Bambu PLA-CF / PAHT-CF / PETG-CF, TPU for AMS) need a higher drying temperature than AMS 2 Pro can fully provide. Bambu recommends AMS HT for better drying of those materials. Maximum 65 °C is only achievable when ambient temperature is above 25 °C.
TPU is listed as supported on the X1C printer, but generic TPU is not supported in AMS 2 Pro. Use TPU for AMS in the unit, or the rear spool holder for generic TPU.
Whether the shop Switching Adapter is currently plugged in is not recorded here. Drying requires the official adapter; if the power icon is not green, ask Ryan.
