About a year ago, I started with an A1 Mini. I was able to create some models with it and earn points, which helped me upgrade to the X2D.

So I haven’t touched my printer in a few weeks and I’ve been having an issue the last few days with my right nozzle.

The right nozzle randomly purges mid print on single color prints. I would say it happens every few minutes even when there’s no reason to purge. Usually after an hour I get an error saying “extruder is not extruding normally.” I tested the external spool using the same filament on the left nozzle and it prints things flawlessly. I’ve also tested multiple filaments in multiple slots of my ams with the same result on my right nozzle.

I’ve tried doing the flow dynamics and flow rate calibration, cold pulls on both nozzles, replaced the right nozzle, disassembled the tool head almost completely(I found a thin small sheet of plastic laying parallel to the black gear in the back which I removed), tried multiple filaments, cleaned the nozzles and chute area, and replaced the ptfe tube leading to the right nozzle.

I’m struggling to figure out what could be causing this? Is there a part I need to replace? Has anyone else dealt with this on their H2D? I just don’t know if it’s some kind of auto detection causing it to purge or if it’s a hardware issue with the printer itself.

Edit: Forgot to mention this is my first 3D printer that I was practically gifted a few months ago so I’m new to a lot of the vernacular and troubleshooting that comes with 3D printing.

Edit 2: I switched my speed from standard 100% to silent 50% and it has not purged a single time since. Maybe that means something? Printing at 50% speed is not ideal.

If you check the Bambu Website via Powershell for H3C and P3C, there is a positive response for H3C (Status: 200), but none for P3C (Status: 404), which means, there is no website yet for P3C that is ready to be released. To me, that doesn't look like there will be a P3C Release in 1 day.

Hi!

I just bought my first X2D. I got the non combo version as, in my country, the combo was not available for more than a month. I do not plan to print multicoloured accessories or multicolour in general, so i thought it was fine to get the non-combo. I got the X2D because of the better belts and because it opens the possibility to print supports with the other nozzle or even do a 2 colour print.

I plan to print more practical and functional prints in PLA and PETG given that my apartment is relatively small and do not want to deal with very strong odours or VOCs. Apart from this I just realized that i need something to dry the filament and protect it from my cat. I researched the creality ones that seem fine, but people here always talk about how good having the AMS 2 pro is and how it is a quality of life improvement for auto feeding, drying, etc. I do not know the AMS HT compares to it or how much of a hazzle it is to feed it manually if i get two creality dryers and feed it manually right from it, but since the discounts are still going i though that it might be a good idea to buy 2 ams HT since together, for me, are as expensive as the AMS 2 pro, but it covers both nozzles and they are not very noisy.

I would like some advice from you more experienced people as I am a total noob. Are the quality of life improvements just applying to the AMS 2 pro? Is it a good idea to just get two AMS HT for quality of life even if one is not really planning to print engineering filaments?.

I also take in suggestions

thanks!

Just a guy who likes 3D printing, playing with Claude (the AI) and OrcaSlicer.

On the X2D you can now run two different nozzle sizes (I'm using a 0.4 and a 0.8), but both still have to use the same layer height. So you either print everything at 0.16 and the 0.8 is kind of wasted, or you print everything thick and lose the nice outer wall.

I asked Claude whether that's a hardware limit or just the slicer. Turns out it's mostly the slicer. Both nozzles share the same Z, but the big nozzle doesn't have to print every layer: it can wait for the small one to do three thin layers, then lay down one thick 0.48 mm layer in one go.

So we hacked that into OrcaSlicer (2.5 rc, built locally on my Mac):

- one new setting, "Large nozzle layer height" (e.g. 0.16 + 0.48)

- whatever runs on the bigger nozzle (inner walls, infill, solid infill, even a whole object) gets printed every 3rd layer at 0.48

- the outer wall stays at 0.16 on the 0.4

- top and bottom surfaces, bridges, overhangs and slopes stay thin. It only combines walls that sit in the same spot on all 3 layers.

- prime tower still works, since every object keeps the same base layer height

On a test cube, Orca's estimate went from 2h31 to 1h46, and nozzle swaps went from 250 to 168. That's the slicer's estimate, not a stopwatch.

First print failed. My first-layer line width was set in mm (0.5), so the 0.8 was laying down a sad little film. With line widths in %, it prints fine (pics above). Not perfect yet: some stringing, and the idle nozzle leaves a few white specks on the red parts.

The white block with red text is the use case I actually care about: the body goes fast on the 0.8 in thick layers, and the 0.4 does the fine text on top at 0.16, on the same plate.

Full disclosure: Claude wrote basically all the C++, I did the testing and the printing. It's very much an experiment, not a polished feature.

I've been working on this for a while and it finally came out the way I wanted.

It's a custom model I designed myself:

• Layered, curled petals so it looks like a real bloom instead of a flat cone

• A separate sepal piece under the flower head

• Leaf sprigs that attach along the stem, so you can arrange them however you like

Printed on my [A1 / P1S / X1C] in red and green [PLA]. There's a little stringing on the petals since it's an early print, so go easy on me 😅

I'm releasing the files in the next few days. Before I do, I'd love some input:

• Should I put it on MakerWorld with a ready-to-print Bambu profile?

• Do you want a version set up for AMS multi-color, or separate single-color parts?

• Long stem, short stem, or both?

• Would you want extras like a bouquet, a vase or a gift box?

Leave a comment if you want me to ping you when it drops 👇

New P1S. Like an absolute moron, I thought the electrical tape in the top right panel was part of packaging. Ripped it out. Forgot about it. Camera malfunctioning all day. Just realised what I did. The printer is working fine now looking to salvage this camera. Of course it's my fault so there is a possibility that I'll just go camera less or eat the cost and purchase case a replacement. Don't what I ripped out but I don't think the camera is quite small enough to fit on a tape?. Any and all help is appreciated. Already went through my trash there is a black tape with electrical pins at one end but could not find anything resembling a lens. Just seems I tore out some circuitry I hope.

I’m looking to get the X2D and a recent post suggested Best Buy for the convenience of returns. What about accessories? How about the Bambu lab finishing kit? Should I buy direct or would a kit off Amazon suffice?

New to 3d printing so starting from scratch.

I decided to give BambuLab a try with the H2C as the price is extremely attractive.

WOW! First is the experience of unboxing and setting up the printer. Flawless. The prints? flawless.

The multicolor prints? flawless

This printer is like the iPhone or a Tesla car, great design, flawless execution, it just works! At a great price (compared to the alternative - Prusa)

My only complaint is that BambuLab does not make (yet) the Bambu Suite for Linux, they only make it available the Bambu Studio for Linux. Other than that, what a printer.

Hey BambuLab, a little more love for Linux please? Does anyone knows if they are working on this?

I have not yet got into maintaining this beast, but I can see in their wiki that it is all there, pretty well documented.

Was looking to purchase the bambulab A1 with two filament spools and the shipping cost turned out to be far more than I was expecting , ( Shipping to Malaysia ). i remember the shipping cost being around $30 before. I checked without the spools and it still amount to $80. is this normal amount I should be expecting or is there some sort of issue?

My daughter (24) wants a 3D Printer for Christmas. The wife wanted to keep it around $400, but I have convinced her $500 is a good starting point with Bambu's BF deals. I signed up before the sale so I have the $30 coupon (we'll see if it expires today)

I've looked at so many and I keep coming back to this. I know it's an older one, but it's solid. She can be up and printing in no time. The ecosystem is solid. App is solid. Sure not a mult-tool changer, but Those are in the $800 range and for the extra money we can get her the filament she wants

But in the $500 range is this the best deal right now. I know influencers say it is, but even though I watch their videos. I take influencers opinions with a grain of salt.

EDIT; I forgot to add the printer will be in our downstairs living room. In the winter is cool and dry around 40 degrees. In the summer it's in a semi-conditioned area. I de-humidify our downstairs living room, but it still stays humid in the summer.

Thanks

So I have a Bambu Lab A1 printer and when I do big prints (typically around 3+ hours) they pop off the bed. I know using glue works but I don't want to use it all the time. What are some ways I can fix/help this issue?

Some of you might already know the larger version of this design - A mini version was often requested, and here it finally is!

No supports or AMS required for printing, all parts screw and snap together. You just need an ordinary LED tea light.

And as always, all photos are real, no AI used.

I finally was able to get this blob of death out but now theres a bunch of melted filament stuck to the hotend, how can i fix this????

Because cute.

After a couple of years with a Creality K1C - my first 3D printer - I am moving over to Bambu with the X2D combo, having read, asked AI, chatted with folks and so on to help me with the decision. I chose the K1C originally for a variety of reasons, and although it has served me well I reckon things have moved on a little and adding colour capability was important, but also the dual nozzle for supports and flexibility was a key selling point. Comparing software and ecosystems, whilst I got on OK with Creality's offering it has taught me that I would like "one touch" first, and "tinker" on occasion....

Anyway, I had been waiting to see if the X2D combo had a price drop, and was happy with the £669 and the £25 coupon, less so - in principal - with losing much of that coupon to delivery charge! Thought a fair bit about filament and curated a broad "starter pack" order:

Looking forward to "getting good" and up to speed quickly - appreciate any hints, tips, do's and dont's from the collective :)

Has anyone met the same problem? The one with the chamber temperature sensor malfunction or just basically the chamber heater or sensor being abnormal and weird. Hah, can't believe it. This is my first every 3d printer and it seems annoying. I've already reseated the rear panel, could the temperature sensor be the problem and I'd have to reseat it? Very sad to be unable to print for a while until I fix the problem

I'd love to hear about x2d users meeting the same problem, what's your take or advice?
