The X1 series specializes in speed like the [[Bambu P1 Series]]. Unlike the P1, the X1 has a few features that make it '''specially good for printing exotic filaments and combinations of filaments.'''

The speed of the X1 series allows for small prints to be completed in a matter of minutes, our [https://www.3dbenchy.com/ 3D Benchy] benchmark print is completed in '''under 14 minutes''' on a X1 series printer, while on an [[Creality Ender 3]] it usually takes 2 hours.

'''The X1 is reserved for special use cases, if you have a standard PLA print, its probably best to use the [[Bambu P1 Series]] or [[Creality Ender 3]]'''. PLA printing performance is identical on the X1 compared to P1.

== Printing ==
To print to a X1 series printer you must slice and send your file on the 3D printing PC. [[Printing with Orca Slicer]]

A previous print can be rerun using the built in file system, touch the folder icon on the left of the display and select the name of your previous print.

== AMS ==
[[File:Syncing Filaments from AMS.jpg|400px|thumb|right| In Orca Slicer, filaments can be synced to the project's filament options by going to the device screen, selecting the X1 printer, and then re-syncing from the filament panel.]]
The X1 features an AMS for loading up to 4 materials into the printer at once. This allows for complex multi-color and multi-filament prints.

It is important to note that abrasive and soluble filaments are '''not allowed''' to be loaded into the AMS. They will damage its internals and should be loaded via the normal spool holder at the back of the printer.

When a filament is loaded into the AMS, make sure to '''tell the printer what kind of filament it is'''. This can be done from the AMS panel on the printer's display.
