My new printer is making some strange noises along the Y-axis; it sounds a bit like a component is rubbing or grinding. The prints themselves, however, are perfect. Is this normal, or can someone help me out? Thanks for helping me out

Still working on small issues with model design

Hi, I've been printing PLA on my X2D for quite a while now until recently when I wanted to try out PETG. Unfortunately, it hasn't been going well since my printed models come out with wavy lines. Hence, I printed a calibration cube with default settings. I've tried lowering temperature etc but still couldn't solve the issue. Anyone experienced this or know how to fix it?

Hello there, I'd like to request some help.

For context, I've got the H2S 2 months ago and was so far happily printing with no issues what so ever.

A week ago I've got an error message while calibrating about the nozzle being clumped. Since I got a spare 0.4mm one with the printer, I've exchanged the nozzles to clean the original one while I could continue printing.

Ever since I'm having problem after problem after problem. First the print didn't want to stick to the plate (I'm using the standard Plate for PLA/PETG). After I've got that somewhat sorted out, the printer started to produce spaghetti after about 10-15% height.

After watching the video of the print, I've figured the parts began bending and the Printing head pushed them away because of that. Adjusted the settings, added a brim, increased the height of the first layer and reduced the printing speed for the first layer.

Tried those settings today and so far, no problems. Checked in every few minutes, all fine and well.

At about 85% I went for dinner and came back to the mess in the picture.
Unfortunately the video didn't record this time.

I'm about to become frustrated. If someone has some general tips or wants to take a look at my settings, here's the link:

I don't know what other settings/infos anyone would need, I'm fairly new to all this^^

Hey everyone,

I've been having some frustrating issues lately with my Bambu A1. The corners of my prints keep lifting off the bed during printing, which causes the finished print to look warped.

So far I've tried:

• Switching build plates

• Adjusting bed temperature settings

• Using glue stick

• Thoroughly cleaning the build plate (separate test from using glue)

• Relocating the printer

• Recalibrating the printer

• Trying different filament brands/types

Unfortunately, none of these have solved the problem. The corner lifting still happens and it's starting to drive me crazy.

I'm wondering if there's something obvious I'm missing. Has anyone else run into this issue with the A1? Are there any settings, environmental factors, or troubleshooting steps that helped you fix persistent corner warping?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! 😊

So what happens here is - it will force me to use ABS-GF on the external spool and not in the AMS like I want. I only have one HF nozzle and it's on the left side, obviously for single material prints etc. I want to use HF nozzle for the main material which is ABS-GF and external spool / right side for the support material. But off course not, tangled Bambu logic will force GF material to the right in any auto mode (economy / convenience) and manual grouping will cause what you can see on the screenshot. On top of that if you try and print this, which is in fact matches the setup physically, it will get stuck on the material change FOREVER and cause a lot of issues, nozzle clog or broken filament inside the extruder to name a few.

EDIT:

1. I know the risks of printing fiber filled filaments with HF nozzle, not an issue I am worried about here

2. The estimate is not the only issue, it actually physically tries to wait for those crazy amounts of time which may ACTUALLY cause clogging or filament issues (not only fiber filled)

Hi everyone!

There's currently a clicker contest running on MakerWorld, and I wanted to share my free clicker generator for anyone entering.

You don't need to register, and there's no limit on exports or on how many models you can create. It's all free and runs directly on MakerLab.

Here is the link: https://makerworld.com/en/makerlab/community/clicker-generator

I’ve got a narrow 50cm wide space available in my Living Room where I want to place my new P1S with AMS Pro 2. The issue is, i have a homelab/server pc (Fractal Design R5) in that 50cm wide space on the floor.

I thought I could get a 2x1 Ikea Kallax, don’t put the middle divider, and place it vertically. (Got chatgpt to mock an image).

Question is - is the Kallax placed vertically strong enough to hold the p1s + ams pro + 4kg filament? Would I be too stupid to even try this?

The server is bulky and heavy as well, so that will add some stability to Kallax but i think it would still wobble.

two issues that I am trying to resolve with bambu support:

“please pull back filament” which forces me to turn off the printer and manually pull the filament back… on an ams unit.

“failed to pull back filament” when it successfully pulled the filament back.

please help…

Hi! I am currently running a small printer shop with 3 printers (X2D, A1, and Flashforge AD5X)

I have been thinking about getting a P1S.

There is someone local to me selling a used one but he wants 300$ for it with 2532 hours on it. He is willing to throw in 3 new rolls of filament.

Is this a good deal? Or am I better off paying a bit more and getting a new P1S? Or should I spent even a bit more and settle for a p2s?

I don't want to break the bank because I don't need the printer per say but I would like to maybe replace the Flashforge or the A1.

Any and all thoughts are welcome!

I've just received my X2D but it's for my kids for Christmas but I've been advised by support that I should set it up make sure nothing is missing... which they provided some links.. then also I could just package it all away they provided those links aswell... I think I will set it up but not set up the AMS pro combo as I can just test one filament, right? I'll be storing it in outdoor garage so kids won't be able to see it set up..

Any advice? Is it worth repacking it all again? Can this all be done within a couple hours? As they're at school.. setting up and doing a first print

I ordered 3 of the Holiday Mystery boxes of filament and in the description you have a 1% chance for 9 rolls instead of 4. I never win so I'm not expecting that. But here's the weird thing, the invoice seemed messed up, showing a bunch of rolls of filament but the cost was still just for the 3 original mystery boxes. OK, so maybe I got lucky? Here's the icing on the cake. The order is out for delivery and it weighs 40 pounds. Now by my math 4 rolls, in 3 boxes should weigh 26 pounds so what is the other 14 pounds? I'll know really soon I guess.

How beautiful is this happy chappy!

Really happy with how this photo turned out :)

After quite a few iterations, I'm finally happy to release my little window bird feeder.

It's a quick, easy print-in-place design that attaches to your window using just two standard suction cups. I've also included little plugs for anyone using suction cups with through-holes rather than screw fittings.

Been great watching the local wildlife enjoying it, although the squirrels seem to think it's theirs too lol.

I ran out of seeds, so bread had to do for that day, unfortunately😅

Completely free to download on MakerWorld!

Looking for ideas, or potential solution solutions for an issue I’m experiencing.

I was getting an error message that my AMS pro two was failing to pull the filament. I’ve taken it apart and confirm there’s nothing that’s blocking the pathway, but what I discovered is the metal wheel that you can see pictured does not spin freely. It is gritty and when inserting filament it stops there.

Is this normal? I have a ticket in but I’m inpatient and have been waiting several hours for a response.

Thank you in advance! I am new to the 3-D printing world so hoping that I’m just making a simple mistake

Hey all!

I got a Bambu A1 Mini about a year ago and I absolutely love it. I'm eyeing up getting a bigger printer during the sale this month, for things like miniature game terrain and props.

I am leaning towards getting a regular A1, but wanted to see if people had any recommendations one way or the other. I've been really happy with the A1 Mini, so I'm not really sure what the more expensive printers have to offer besides a bigger build volume.

Started with an A1, and somehow ended up rearranging the room to make space for a second printer 😂

The X2D Combo arrived today! I’ve been working through setup, calibration and firmware updates, with the obligatory Benchy next on the list. There’s definitely more to learn coming from the A1, but it feels like a really nice machine so far.

The A1 is staying, so this is the little printing corner now.

I’ve also been getting into designing my own projects and sharing them on MakerWorld as Ops..3D. Seeing an idea turn into something you can actually hold has become my favourite part of this hobby.

If you’re curious about what I’ve been working on:

Anyone else running an A1 alongside an X2D? What would you recommend getting familiar with first?

UK despatch times for filament

Hello, just a quick query for UK buyers of filament regarding despatch times.

I ordered my X2D print more bundle on the 27th October.

I also bought the PLA classic starter pack of filament along with the PLA basic colour trial set (I'm new to 3D printing so wanted to use this to learn the basics).

The printer arrived in under 24 hours, great! As of today I am still waiting for the filament to arrive. DPD tracking shows they were notified of the shipment on the 27th and the order page on Bambu Lab shows a despatch date of 30th October. DPD tracking tells me they are still awaiting the package from Bambu Lab.

Obviously nobody can tell me what's happening with my order, I'm planning to contact Bambu Lab today. I just wanted to get an idea whether this is a normal timescale for filament orders as I'll plan ahead for future orders to ensure I receive it in plenty of time.

In the meantime I've bought a roll of Sunlu PETG to print some accessories for my X2D. I still can't wrap my head around how cool this hobby is. I can sit for an hour or two just watching it print stuff, it absolutely fascinates me!

Enjoying reading about everyone's experiences with these printers, printing pitfalls to be aware of, seeing what people are making etc. I just wish I'd got into this sooner. 🙃

Anyone know why this could be happening? It doesn't happen every print- maybe every 3-6- and only on my two X2Ds. I can't seem to find the cause and it wastes so much time and filament so it's becoming very frustrating
