Frequently asked questions
How big can it print?
180 × 180 × 180 mm. A keychain, a desk figure or an 18 cm box fit; a 25 cm part does not.
Is it loud?
With active cancellation and silent mode it stays under 48 dB.
Does the camera see my room?
It has a physical cover; close it when not printing. It also has a local network only mode.
Does it print ABS?
No. It is open and the bed tops out at 80 °C. It is a PLA, PETG and TPU machine.
Can I use filament from other brands?
Yes. The printer and the AMS accept third-party spools. RFID reading and remaining filament estimation only work with Bambu Lab spools. A Bambu spool measures 200 mm in diameter, 55 mm core and 67 mm wide; a spool from another brand must fit those dimensions to go inside the AMS.
What warranty does NODEM give?
NODEM gives a 30 day warranty and records the serial number of the unit at the time of sale. That serial number identifies the machine to the service workshop and to Bambu Lab.
Can I get spare parts?
Yes. Every part has an official Bambu Lab SKU code and NODEM orders it by that code. The NODEM service guide lists the frequent cases and the spare parts for this model.
Warranty and service
Bambu Lab factory warranty: we review each case and handle it as an authorized distributor. We give a 30-day warranty for factory defects from the sale, with the serial number on the invoice.
