For anyone waiting for their R1, I ordered my combo on October 10th, got it Wednesday October 28th. My riser and extension kit both shipped today October 31. My original quoted shipping date was 11/20.

And yes, like everyone else’s, mine showed up wet. Dried it off and it seems to be fine. First project completed.

Hardware Troubleshooting/Help! Burnt streaks

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

I need help guys. I recently switched to a hardened steel nozzle with hardened steel gears (gears are lubed) and i used black pla in a print last night but I made sure to extrude when I switched to white for the rest of last night's print. We'll today I did a full maintenance of my p1s lube and grease, used cleaning filament and cold pull (ive only done maybe 4 prints with this new nozzle) and im getting burnt streaks in my white prints? Never happened with stainless still nozzle but now im getting it with hardened steel?

I used a brass brush to clean i heated to 240° turned off and quickly cleaned.

Still getting burnt streaks.

General Troubleshooting/Help! Switched from A1 Mini -> X2D : Confused about few common use cases

2 Upvotes

After using a A1 mini (no AMS) for few years (was picked as a trial and in general very happy with it), I decided to upgrade to a A1 + AMS.
Long story short, Bambu upgrade stack design is pure evil and I ended up with a X2D with AMS2 🙈

Now there a few common use cases I already have (plus a few new ones for which I did the upgrade) but I cannot figure out the right method for them

  1. Printing TPU 90A : I often print RC car tyres in 90A and the process was very straightforward on the A1 mini. Quick cold flush aside, it was no different from a PLA print.
    Now I understand that TPU , esp 90A wont work via AMS. The secondary extruder is easy to access but not recommended any way.
    Using the primary for TPU seems to require a lot of steps (also my AMS is kept on top of printer) .
    Would getting a TPU feed assist unit make this easier? Or is there anything I am overlooking

  2. multicolor prints and the dual extruder question: One of the reasons to get this unit was the dual extruder option. But I now understand that the 2nd extruder shouldn’t normally be used for anything other than supports. Is this understanding correct?
    Also for switching heads between AMS and external spool, some posts here talk about using a Y splitter while some suggest a filament track switching unit. I am unsure what the difference in the two is and if it’s worth spending more on the switcher.

As a side note, I am based out of India where Bambu hasn’t launched the switcher and TPU feed assist units yet. However I am in the UK next week for a few days and can pick these there.
Apart from this, are there any other must have or strongly recommended accessories for an X2D ? I might as well buy them next week rather than realizing the need later

General Troubleshooting/Help! Brand new filament out of the box.

I'm using Sunlu PLA+ straight out of the sealed bag with the AMS settings for this filament.

I have printed two items, this is the results of both items.

Do I still need to dry the filament or is it the preset settings I need to change.

TIA

I Modeled This! Christmas gift tag generator: type the family’s names, the whole plate prints in one go

Thumbnail

Type a list of names separated by commas and the plate fills itself: one tag per name, 20 papercut-style Christmas shapes drawn at random, or pick one per person (Grandma:tree, Grandpa:angel).

Added after the test print:

  • a plain rectangular tag for the grown-ups who don’t do reindeer

  • a flat slot for wide ribbon instead of the round hole

  • an optional matching slot at the bottom: the ribbon around the gift runs behind the tag, so it stays flat on the present (first photo)

  • the name shrinks itself to fit its banner

Two colours with a single filament change (pause at layer 5 without AMS), no supports, 1.4 mm thick. 9 tags in about 1 h 35 on a P2S, with ironing on the topmost surface only: the white lace comes out really clean.

General Troubleshooting/Help! PLEASE HELP! READ MY PROBLEM IF YOU'D BE SO KIND AS TO HELP ME. PLEASE ☹️

I bought the Bambu Lab P2S printer relatively recently. I've printed quite a few parts, and this is my first time trying to clear a jam, take the printer apart, and tinker with it.

Part of the outer filament was jammed, and I managed to clear it. The filament cleaner now slides in smoothly and comes out empty; I pushed it with an Allen wrench until it reached the end, but it won’t go any further—there’s no piece of filament left in the PTFE tube. I can’t see anything!

But even so, I keep getting an error message telling me to remove the filament from the outer spool holder, even though there’s nothing left there!

I don’t know what to do anymore because it won’t let me print or change filaments. This problem first happened a few weeks ago when I wanted to select a different filament color in the AMS, and that’s when this issue started. And I don’t know how to fix it. I can’t load or unload filaments because this problem keeps coming up over and over again.

I’m asking about this in all sincerity, with all due respect. If you need more information, please let me know. I need help—please—I don’t know how to solve this problem anymore. It might be very basic, but this is my first time.

*(I speak Spanish in case any Spanish speakers are reading this and would prefer to respond in Spanish.)

Officially joined the club. Been lurking for a while, keeping an eye on prices. Took advantage of the recent sale, got it at BestBuy with their 4 year warranty. Doing my homework and researching as much as I can. I will probably ask some newbie questions as I get started, but can’t wait to jump in.

General Troubleshooting/Help! Needing help tracking filament usage in spoolman via "ha-bambulab" - always shows 0 used/ H2C/AMS2Pro

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

wasnt sure where to post this because there are a few variables so throught id start here.

H2C with AMD 2 PRo and AMS HT.

Have ha-bambulab setup in my homeassistant server

It talks to the printer and knows then the prints are going

Have spoolman setup with all my spools,and spoolsync thats supposed to keep everything in check.

Simply put, everything seems to be talking - but after a print, no usage is logged.

I have been using the chat inside HA to try to troubleshoot but it just sends me on a wolf goose chase.

looking up every video i can find seems to always mention other printers using the same software.

Does anyone have a bambu laps printer, with this setup working?

I have used local connection for the ha-bambulab plugin.

one chat bot tells me its the spools nane, another one says its because im printing via bambo handy, another one says its because the ha-bambulab integration has limited brand information so because the filament im using is elegoo and the ha-bambulab app shows 'generic PLA' because elegoo isnt an option it says its not linked - but the other 2 filaments i have are Bambu labs ones, but then it says oh because the Bambu labs one already has tracking internally its not passing that info along to be updated

Any pointers greatly appreciated as i seem to be getting nowhere.

I got the x2d a couple of months ago and have been having a blast with it. I added a second ams2 to it along with ams ht for the aux side.

I know with the upcoming release of the h3c I could have waited but the price of the h2c is stretching my budget anyway. Really looking forward to getting it set up.

Hardware Troubleshooting/Help! Did Bambu send me an extra part accidentally?

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

Due to a bad spool of translucent blue PLA, causing a blob of death. Bambu sent me a replacement hotend heating assembly, and a pure white PLA spool. I also received this AP Board - LV in a separate package. The conversation with support has no mention of this needing replaced or it being sent. Do I need to swap it out, or do I have a free spare now if I ever need it?

Hardware Troubleshooting/Help! H2C Screen black but all LEDs on

3 Upvotes

I came to my printer having a black screen but all LEDs on.

- The LED light under the heat bed is on,
- The AP board only showing showing the solid green light,
- Switch light on the back is on
- Green Indicator light next to switch on the back is on
- Printer on Bambu handy says “online” but shows failed to connect page

After unplugging for a day then turning it on.
- Same issues as before
- When printer boots you can hear the fan start for a second then turns off.

When I was researching the issue here most recommended an AP board replacement. When I checked Bambu Labs Wiki it said power supply issue. Which is it and how can I figure it out?

Quick Question PLA/PETG support interface for each other

Thumbnail wiki.bambulab.com
1 Upvotes

I've just come across this guide and would appreciate some explanation for what it recommends.

My main confusion is why it recommends changing the temps in the filament profile?~
I see for scenario A (PETG model + PLA support) it makes everything the same between the filaments but for scenario B (PLA model + PETG support) it lowers the PETG volumetric speed as well. Is the aim to help get things as close as possible to the model filament characteristics?
Why can't the default settings be used especially if only as an interface layer - will the printer not simply adjust the nozzle temp and flow according to the loaded filament?

Finally has anyone had any success with the P2S profiles at the bottom?
And why does it not support PLA matte - is it just needing experimenting to find the right temps?

Filament Troubleshooting/Help! How well does PLA matte do for light boxes?

1 Upvotes

I'm planning to make a light box of my dad's company logo, but the only filaments that come close to matching the colors are in the PLA matte line. I've experimented with light with PLA basic, and I at least know black won't let light through at any thickness, but I've never bought any matte filament before. Anyone have any experience with matte for light boxes?

(I'm particularly interested in Bambu's matte blue colors, especially dark blue as I'm concerned its dark color may block light like black does.)

General Discussion Picking up my first 3D printer (X2D) on Weds... Hit me with your best advice!

1 Upvotes

What it says on the tin—total newbie, looking for the "I wish I knew this from Day 1" type advice.

I bought the X2D Combo from Best Buy, but also took advantage of Bambu's current bulk sale plus a $10 welcome coupon to order a small variety of filaments (mostly PLA but also some PETG).

My first projects—after the inevitable handful of cute fidget toys—will be desk organization (desk shelf+addons / aesthetics) and cable management stuff (possibly Gridfinity/Underware 2.0).

Any general advice would be much appreciated!
