Bambu - Advanced 3D Printers

We have 8 Bambu H2D Pro 3D printers available for inducted and experienced students.

To use the Bambu printers, you must have read the pages with the (readme) title, follow our lab rules, and make sure you've:

  • completed the 3D printing induction on ORB
  • completed several successful technician-supervised prints on the Ultimakers
  • enough experience to check and prepare your models properly before printing
  • got lab door access and advanced user status

Important: 3D printing inductions only take place at the start of the academic year, not mid- or end-of-year. If you have not completed the induction between September and March, you cannot operate the printers yourself. You may ask another inducted student to print for you, but they must operate the machine.

Please book your printer through the Book Your Slots page before use.

Please do not:

  • log out of the Bambu admin account
  • add or change filament yourself unless you have been specifically inducted to do so

Print jobs will be cancelled if:

  • the file or user cannot be identified
  • the printer is used without a valid booking
  • print failed

Repeated failure to follow these rules may result in being banned from the labs.
