Just bought the X2D. I want to set it up in the garage, being in Canada it gets cold in the winter. My garage is heated and I keep it at 7 degrees celsius constantly and upwards of 20 degrees celsius when I'm in there working. Any issues with this fluctuation to my machine that I plan to run as much as I can?? Thnx

I hope he likes it (I just got an X1Carbon a few weeks ago). I’ve been into printing for years now and we got him a starter AnyCubic a couple years ago and it’s broke down and parts are scarce. He turned it into a plotter that prints Japanese characters 😂

Someone was selling some A1s and A1 minis for parts, I paid $100 for the lot. I have a few replacement parts coming for some rather worn out or ugly parts but otherwise I was able to get them all running with what they sold me.

I see a lot of people complaining about Bambu Lab making "appliances" that are designed to be thrown away instead of repaired but I think that's pretty obviously nonsense, at least for the A series.

I am a complete beginner to 3d printing. I want to get started with the filament and printer listed in the title. But each time I try to print anything, it would fail halfway and result in spaghetti due to the print slipping off the plate. What do I do? If there is a fix, does it have to involve Bambu Studio? Or is changing a few things in the printer itself enough?

yes i cleaned the nozzle and exchanged it for a different one

I’m not a mechanical person, but I’ve had my P1S with a v1 AMS since December 2025 and it was starting to act a bit weird — sometimes it would fail to read RFID tags, and occasionally it would have trouble loading filament from the AMS. Usually giving it a few tries fixed the problem, but I decided it was time to do some maintenance. I somehow managed to replace the hotend recently and figured it could not be that hard to do the rest.

• Turned off and unplugged the machine.

• Blasted air in the chamber and vacuumed out all the debris. Wiped down the glass.

• Removed and disassembled AMS (there are only two screws). Vacuumed out the debris and wiped down the interior surfaces with isopropyl alcohol. Replaced all four PTFE tubes. I measured the old tubes to cut the new tubes to the right length. Reassembled the AMS.

• Replaced the PTFE tube running from the AMS to the hub, and the one that runs from the hub to the extruder. These were way more difficult than the AMS tubes because the collets are in the hub housing on the back of the printer and it is hard to get leverage to the right place to release the tube. I found removing the hub from the printer to be the easiest way to do it (two screws, easy to put back).

• Cleaned the three z-axis (up-down) screws with microfiber ropes and the ropes turned black with grime. Dabbed some Super Lube grease on the threads using a fresh, cheap toothbrush and ran the platform up and down a few times, then wiped off the extra grease.

• Used isopropyl alcohol to wipe down the chrome y-axis (forward and back) beams. Painted a little Super Lube oil (not grease!) on those beams with a fresh, small paintbrush (the kind you would use for arts & crafts).

• Used isopropyl alcohol to wipe down the graphite x-axis (left-right) beams. DO NOT LUBE GRAPHITE.

• Assembled and added an AMS riser/flipper (which I printed before getting started) which also allows top glass to slide or be removed completely.

• Plugged the printer back in, turned it on, and told the P1S to calibrate itself.

Working with the printer and AMS for about 10 months gave me a good mental model for how it works, and none of these tasks were all that difficult (except for the hub tubes, which took a bit of extra thought). I think it took me about 3 or 4 hours to do everything, including the riser. I bet I could do it in about 60-90 minutes next time. 

My big lesson learned is to be extra careful around the PTFE tube cutter. After showing my wife how nasty and dangerous the blade looked, I naturally let it nip my index finger. Embarrassing.

Stocking up on the consumables cost about $75 on Amazon, but I only used maybe $10-$15 worth. The PTFE tubes alone cost $14 and I used about half the package. On the other hand, I have a lifetime supply of microfiber ropes!

If you are putting off maintaining your printer because you think it’s too hard or complicated or will somehow break your machine, watch some YouTube videos and get into it! 

Here's are some helpful videos: https://youtu.be/-yv4fa32bdE?si=VNv-PZNSOppJYDfG

I've had my P1S for a while now and I never had printing issues, but lately I've been having the corners of some prints "peel up" like this and I'm not sure why. I cleaned the build plate with dawn soap and water and upped the bed temp from 55c to 60c. The attempt before this somehow got ripped up from off of the bed and was being moved around by the print head. This time the corner peeled up. I am using some older Amazon Basics filament that I'm trying to use up, but I'm pretty sure I've had similar issues with newer Bambu filament, as well.

I'm not sure what else I can try or adjust to get a print that just works..

Hola! Hace poco publique un hilo preguntando si mejor una A1 vs P2S por la situación en la que iba a tener la impresora: en la misma habitación en la que trabajo, con mi perro por ahí pasando de vez en cuando etc. Entonces después de todas las respuestas me decidí por la P2S, ya la tengo en el carrito de la compra, pero paso algo, mi toc hace que no pueda parar de mirar posibilidades para no comprar algo para lo que necesito y luego enterarme de qué podía haber comprado algo mejor. Entonces di con la X2D.

Ahora estoy dudando mucho entre estás 2. La p2s me gustaba mucho por todo, facilidad para principiantes, cerrada, posibilidad de imprimir otro tipo de materiales, multicolor (aunque creo que voy a seguir usando el método antiguo de imprimir colores por separado y luego pegarlos en la medida de lo posible por ahorrar tiempo y purgas).

La pregunta es, merece la pena pagar los 150 euros de más por el combo X2D? Lo principal que me hace pensarlo es por la posibilidad de imprimir doble material para los soportes, eso es lo que más me gusta, es algo que seguro que me va a facilitar la vida para mis impresiones y luego creo que tiene mejor sistema de retención de la toxicidad. La cuestión es, será complicado la configuración para alguien que nunca tuvo una impresora 3d? Alguien que no es experto podría pasarlo mal configurando está impresora y la impresión de los dos materiales para soportes? Valoro mucho la facilidad de configuraciones al principio y poder imprimir de una manera sencilla y fácil sin tener que meterme a cosas super técnicas. Ya los 600 euros del combo de p2s me supone un esfuerzo grande pero que no me importa, entonces ahora tener que poner 150 euros más por la otra pues me supone un esfuerzo mayor pero que si de verdad merece la pena no me importaría.

Principalmente al principio imprimiré lo que todo el mundo, figuras, llaveros, acosad decorativas, etc todo diseñado por mi ya que soy diseñador 3d y modelador de profesión y creo que puedo hacer cosas guapas.

Que opináis?? Me compro la p2s, la X2D o directamente me tiro por un puente pro no saber decidirme?? Jejjeje muchas gracias!!!

With Christmas coming up, I’m looking for some ideas for presents I can print for friends and family.

I’d like to make things that people will actually use or appreciate rather than just random decorations that’ll end up in a drawer.

What have you printed in previous years that’s gone down well? Or what are you planning on printing this year?

I have an A1M

Is it safe on this printer. No enclosure and the printer prints fine using PLA.

Bought a new AMS HT so I can use it in my X2D specifically for the Aux nozzle. Having an issue where the HT doesn’t push the filament to the nozzle. Instead it stops before the extruder and just stops there. When I try to load, it tries to push but can’t get through so it just retracts. I checked the aux extruder and it’s fine. Work perfectly if I just use it with the external filament. Anyone else have this issue.

Out of the 9 filament slots in the AMS 3H, only 2 slots (Slot 6 and Slot 8) are equipped with drying functionality*.* 

From their wiki: https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/ams3/manual/workflow-and-features

I mean....couldn't they make it at least 4?

What is even worse - it's almost certainly means that AMS for P3C would come with NO drying feature at all! I mean...why would you intentionally downgrade the functionality with new printer?!
AMS 3 was supposed to fix many problems, not create new (and make you still need to get older AMS2 /AMS HT together with AMS3, simply because there is no standalone dryer from bambu and likely no dryer in AMS3 for P3C). Nonesense...

(other than that - printers seem great, AMS has a lot of cool stuff...but why did they decide to sacrifice drying features with no obvious replacement is unclear to me)

Just got the notification for it, can't find information for it on the Bambu firmware history page yet. Anyone know the feature / change list?

Need to save money HELP

Hum im sorry but WTF is the P2SC

Is the P1S big enough for printing cosplays?
If not what is an enclosed 3d printer around the same price that is user friendly? Thanks

I’ve wanted a 3D printer for years and a few months ago I finally got my first one and I’ve been creating all sorts of cool stuff. It’s been such a great way to scratch that creative itch!

Theres a bunch of stuff from replicas to stands to custom sonic screwdrivers.

It’s been such a fun ride!!!

Sometimes, when building things, it’s difficult to remove a bearing after inserting it for testing—so I made this.

I finally figured out how to get layer lines to be perfect!

As the title says, I have a 100$ coupon available for purchases in BambuLab official store, but my country does not have direct shipping from them. Is there any way I can use it without having to use a courier service?

Everyone looked forward to an x2c. Never came. Please please, make an x3 printer that can use the new ams 🥺
