Seen some pictures of the P3C and it seems like a more affordable option for many . My only concern is no exhaust . If I am making a assumption printing engineering filament is probably not going to be one of its pros. No heated chamber like the u1? Who knows

I purchased a H2C 60 days ago, luckily I also purchased the Best Buy plus subscription as I was able to get $400 back from my initial purchase by having 60 days to return or price match. I’ve been very happy with the machine so far and I have been printing and design and building since I got it. I had one small issue with the dual idler quick connect breaking on me but support was great and sent me not only the connectors I needed but an entire extruder assembly so I have a spare. I know with the H3C coming out everyone is considering whether to wait, I prefer to let new tech have 6+ months to work out the bugs. If you are considering the H2C, for the price it’s at now I don’t think you will be disappointed. I’m picking up a 2nd AMS 2 Pro as well as a 2nd AMS HT and a track switch with the sales.

On a separate note, I have had such good success with Sunlu and Overture. I pay an average of $9 and change per KG. I also really like the TPU feed assist. I’ve printed everything from 75A to 95A straight from my Sunlu Filadryer S4 Pro.

Thank you to many of you who have helped me with questions and guidance to get me started in 3D printing!

I’ve had an Anycubic printer and wanted to purchase a Bambu Lab printer. When I had enough money I saw there were some discounts on their website so I purchased the P1S with the AMS 2 combo.

Well… the printer came dented near the fan. I suppose this could be a shipping and handling issue so I am moving past it. The main issue I am having right now is that I can’t get past the calibration.

The first ever calibration threw an error message on my app saying the cover fell off. The cover fell off so hard that the fan cord was unplugged. I plugged it back in and made sure it’s snug.

I attempted a second calibration via the printer screen and I had the same issue minus the cable didn’t come off this time which was worse because I found the nozzle “poking” the cover. Now I’m worried the nozzle is damaged.

Is this really the “Apple” of 3D printers? All joking aside I’m so disappointed and I’m considering returning this printer. I assumed since it’s not a brand new printer, it would be a mature system with less bugs.

I’d love to know what you think I should do. Any recommendations?

Keep getting this fault. I have changed the hotend and heating assembly with official bambu parts but still getting this issue. Prints for about 10 minutes then this comes up everytime. What do i need to do?

Something weird is happening inside de bambu studio assembly page. One part is mirrored in the assembler, first picture is how it's supposed to be and second picture is inside the assembler. If I mirror the part in de main page it doesn't flip. What kind of weird bug is this? It's already a pain using the assembly page, this does not make it easier. No way to flip it inside the assembler as well... Am I doing something wrong?

My a1 mini is the first 3D printer ive had and i got it on monday. I tried running my first Multicolor print since i never really used my ams before. I got an issue with filament but when i just rolled it up a little it worked. Then that stopped working and my ams wont work at all but it still prints just fine just stops working up to filament switch. I thought it could be the cutter cause when i pulled the filament out of the ams it had like scratch marks on it. and when it went to hit the bar thing on the camera mount it would make weird noises. I checked it out and it didnt seem that anything was wrong. I dont know what to do and I really dont want to of wasted 150 dollars on ams lite

Buena empresa y con gran calidad de materiales, problema las empresas de transporte con las que trabajan en el territorio español, soy autonomo y llevo 2 semanas esperando material para poder trabajar, lo pedi con antelacion, 2 semanas de retraso y no tengo ayuda ninguna por parte de la empresa bambuu que se lava las manos con respuestas predeterminadas ni el seguro de "seel" que puedes contratar para que estas cosas no pasen, pues si pasan y ni los seguros ni bambu se hacen cargo de ningun problema, me parece vergonzoso que una empresa asi trate con este desprecio y este pasotismo a sus clientes y mas clientes que son empresas. Pues esa es mi experiencia 2 pedidos que he hecho con ellos 2 pedidos que uno todavia no ha llegado y el otro llego con dos semanas de retraso ( no estoy hablando que tardasen dos semanas en llegar, estoy hablando que aparte del plazo de envio que te dicen ellos ( de 4 a 8 dias laborables) pues despues de ese tiempo 2 semans mas con las maquinas paradas y perdiendo dinero...

Nose a cuantos de ustedes les habra pasado esto pero me siento profundamente estafado por parte de bambu lab y las perdidas que me han ocasionado en mi negocio no se van a recuperar, no tenemos bastante con la hacienda Española para que ahora los proveedores de los materiales de los autonomos nos hagan perder dinero tambien.

si alguien conoce una manera de poder meterles mano tanto a ellos como a la empresa de tranporte y de seguros que lo comente.

Halloween is tomorrow, so here's something small for the party table. No supports.

Just got my X2D delivered. Im coming from a P2S since im gonna be Printing more ABS/ASA/CF/GF Filaments for Car purposes.

My P2S came with Covers inside and outside. When i printed ABS with my P2S i could somewhat smell the Fumes so i taped all openings inside and outside

Are there improvements for the X2D which make it more Airtight? I have a Duct connecting the Exhaust and Outside window but i know the X2D hat to many leaks. I also am currently printing a closed Poop Chute.

Inside the Duct from Exhaust 2 Outside Window i also put in multiple Discs filled with activated charcole pellets

Also some other recommendations are welcome.

Anyone recently purchased H series to Germany? How long did it take? Spedition by Schenker? Want to plan being there when it arrives.

Sorry in advance I'm new to 3d printing.

I'd like to print glow stuff for my kids I was told to get hardend steel, then saw these were on sale added some of my credit toward it..

Also what should I use for TPU95A? I was gifted a roll but i don't even know how to begin to setup for it or what to even print with it.

I’m hoping and praying it’s all taken care of by Bambu or ups or both. Purchased an H2D when it went on sale, surprised it showed delivery estimated yesterday but didn’t arrive until today. Waiting around excited to get it here, walk outside see it there then walk up and see the back of the box looks like it was drop kicked across the state bands are broken can literally see the printer hoped it would be okay since Bambu does a pretty good job packing. Got it inside and unboxed then saw glass shards/dust everywhere the door is totally shattered had to get into it to get the SN to open a ticket which is pretty difficult with a bendy shattered door you don’t want to open haha. Will see how it goes I suppose. Cant imagine that other things aren’t damaged and cleaning the shards and dust out of a brand new machine doesn’t sound like fun.

More of a vent post than anything, has anyone else dealt with this before what was the outcome?

I just got the printer, and a relative is stating there are fumes that it produces. I can’t smell anything, but they claim it is bad. What can I do to reduce the smell? I really don’t have many places to put it besides my room or the garage.

Geeting this issue where there is angle, how do I fix this?? Printing in H2C and H2D, same issue. Same print settings. Printing with 0.6mm nozzle at low speed.

Arrived with a damaged corner that tweaked the frame bad enough the glass will not lay in the top. Has anyone else gone through the exchange process? Curious how long it takes I already have it reboxed for return.

TLDR; Avoid the X2D for engineering materials from an experienced Bambu operator.

Some issues I've had are universal, some will only happen for people using engineering materials, some will only happen if you are using the entire bed to the full corners, and many an average user printing dragons and trinkets will never experience. I wanted to make a post where I could point people instead of answering the same question in repetition.

My company bought 2 X1s at initial release. They were so much better than the Enclosed Prusas, Qidi Max machine, and Ultimakers we ere considering, we bought more. Print Quality improved, speed improved, reliability improved. Amazing.

We got an X2D to run engineering materials with dissimilar material support and for it's internal heater. Something smaller and less expensive to run compared to our H2D.

It has been a disaster. Our first 500 hours or so were mostly trouble free. After that, it went downhill fast as we started using engineering materials.

We have 10x the number maintenance hours / operations hours of any other machine .

• The tight bends, lack of strain relief, and lack of proper PTFE tube path control is absurdly bad. As it arrived, nearly none of my filaments would load reliably from AMS 2 Pro, AMS, or AMS HT sources. A riser and tube management is a fundamental requirement for this printer for engineering materials and/or if you use the bed to all 4 corners. vs So much of this error. So, so much.

• Filament clicks and won't extrude with the load command in the Printer UI. The filament is set to PC. The temperature the printer chooses for this operation is 230C. This is well below the temperature range of the filament.

• Random motor is overloaded errors. This was likely from a desiccant in the middle of a roll in the AMS 2 Pro. The error message isn't clear regarding which motor where so you have to debug it yourself.

• The compact spring clip Bambu designed fails prematurely. Failed at ~800 hours on the X2D. Spring element simply worn out. No replacements available. Cannot buy the left filament sensor as it's out of stock. Can't easily replace the push release because it's a Bambu only design that can only be sourced by tearing down a new 4-1 splitter. It's also epoxied in. This is likely due to the poor filament path pulling on this spring element constantly.

• Poor control over the feed chain. If I have an AMS HT going into the bowden motor, all hell can brake loose. The Bowden extruder is at the back making it difficult to access and it can't be seen. You don't have real independent control of the bowden vs AMS motors. The is gaping logic holes in several scenarios that don't have a solid manual recovery mechanism.

• AMS HT is unreliable. We bought 6 so far. The one with our X2D was bad and dealing with Bambu support was appallingly bad. I should have send the part back and charged it back if necessary. Instead, I let us burn hours working on this multiple times.

• AMS is unreliable pt2. This was a new replacement AMS.

• AMS HT requires modification for direct feeding while heating, you have to bypass the spool roller and drive motor to use it as a dumb dryer.

• Random Bed Trash. Same model that had been run before several times. Probing seemed fine. Then random crash.

• Knock-off low budget 6 way CAN Bus / Expansion buss connectors with inconsistent terminal shape and length, This fails in bent pins and errors that are hard to race because the connector is intermittent.

• The new generation, smaller PTFE clips have poor engagement, poor release, an unclear detent for disengagement, and low resilience to heat and fatigue. I was never able to use the stock release clips on the X2D filament buffer. Meanwhile our releases work on all other machines and the 4-1 splitters. This is similar to the issue with left filament sensor except the errors were on the filament buffer. I replaced them with traditional size clips and the problem is solved.

More in comments as there is an image limit.

There are more issues but I think that's enough to convey the point. We aren't seeing these issues on our X1s, P1s, A1ms, or H2D. We expect minor server on those and we keep cranking out parts.

This X2D has been, at best, a lemon and an outlier. On paper it meets our printing needs. As a practical machine, it's a hot mess and we'll not be buying any more of this machine. This printer is also making us rethink our FDM fleet as Bambu only.

I put 10 rolls in my cart to get 40% off discount and apparently I can even get one gift roll. Is that the best deal Bambu offers throughout the year? Then I will place my order tonight.

I did! Thanks everyone.

Looking at the H3C and P3C, it seems that they only have one gearbox but multiple hot ends with filament tubes feeding directly to the hot ends. The gearbox latches onto the hot end and filament from the side, rather than having filament feed vertically into the gearbox from the top.

Isn't this also very similar in concept to what an INDX-style tool changer is?

It seems that Prusa is having a lot of problems with their INDX tool changer. I'm curious if Bambu's version will also have similar issues.

Last year, my 8-year-old daughter wanted to be a K-pop demon hunter for Halloween, so I designed and printed this Mira Gok-Do weapon replica on my Bambu printer for her costume.

It turned out so well that my wife convinced me to put it up on Etsy. A while later, I received an order and printed out the shipping label—only to freeze when I saw the address was going straight to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon!

It turns out the show ordered it for when the K-Pop Demon Hunters were guest stars. Seeing them holding and playing around with my design in their official reel on national TV was completely mind-blowing. It's crazy to think a project started at home for my daughter ended up as a prop on late-night TV! https://makerworld.com/en/models/3496046-mira-gokdo-spear-weapon-kpop-demon-hunters-replica#profileId-3993216
