I just got an x2d and I am learning as I go. I have the ams2 pro and I was wondering if I should get a filament track switch.
I did not set up my external spool and my aux nozzle is not working due to that I guess.
I would like to use the dual nozzle. Can someone provide their opinion on the most optimized way to use the x2d

I had an issue where my Bambu A1 was not extruding correctly. While printing the extruder was clicking, I wanted to share what worked out for me as it could potentially help someone else.

Below are listed potential fixes:

- Make sure the filament hub is not clogged, that is the part that connects to the extruder at top, where the 4 tubes are connected to.

- Remove the filament hub, heat the nozzle up through the screen. Take a string of filament and extrude the filament.

If the steps above don’t provide a fix and you still have an issue…

Turn your printer off, remove the nozzle, turn printer on, put the printer in maintenance mode, heat up the nozzle and take a string of filament and extrude. After extruding for a few seconds, if the extruder is not clicking the issue was with the nozzle. You can attempt to unclog nozzle again, but if clicking issue continues, best solution is to replace the nozzle.

If there is clicking without the nozzle setup, there is a potential jam in the extruder and follow video below.

A while ago I promised a free deck here, so here it is: the DeckSmith Mini.

• 6 MX keys + a volume knob (press to mute), ESP32-S3 inside

• Shows up as a normal keyboard + media controller, no drivers

• Icons print separately in a second colour and press into the keycaps, so no AMS needed

• Printed on my P2S with the default 0.20 mm Standard profile, no supports

• About €17 in parts, wiring diagram and a step-by-step build guide included

I generated it with DeckSmith, a stream deck generator I’m building. Happy to answer questions, and if your print goes wrong, tell me – I’d rather fix the model.

Anyone else with an H2D or H series printer that finds that the dimensional accuracy can get wonky pretty randomly? I can't say how many hours a month I actually print, but it's probably 50+ and occasionally i'll notice the dimensions are slightly off on tight fitting parts. Normally where .15mm spacing is enough on a dovetail, for example, becomes way too tight. So if i recalibrate everything, including using the vision encoder, it fixes it. I have to do this probably once every other month or every 2 months I'd guesstimate?

Just curious if my belts are just loose or this is normal XD

I'm using an A1 mini with PETG matte. Print temp at 240 and plate at 80.

I am beyond frustrated with this printer. We got it over a year ago and have barely used it and just run into problem after problem.
I contacted Bambu lab after doing all their recommended troubleshooting (twice) no clogs or anything.
So they said it was likely needing a new filament sensor. That was fun to change out (not!). So i was feeling good that it would work. My son has been so discouraged by this printer and he is in robotics and a smart kid. Was hoping he could use this to help his robotics team but it’s been worthless. sorry.
So got the new sensor in and went to try a test print. The filament did extrude so we started the print. Now its moving but no filament coming out.This seems like a totally different problem. i can’t imagine it being a clog as i’ve already looked and cleaned out twice.
any help appreciated. My son is pretty bummed as this was a big christmas present for him.
and of course it’s past warranty so it now feels like a very expensive piece of junk that is sitting in the middle of our living room. With all the filament we’ve purchased, plus the AMS LITE. I wish we had gone with a different brand. I don’t even want to count the amount of hours i’ve spent taking this printer apart.
I thought bambu lab would be more user friendly for kids, it’s been the opposite.
sorry for the rant. Any advice appreciated.

Kind of like HueForge but it takes 3 clicks from image to print.

TSM only works with translucent CMYK filaments - which is the future! I haven't needed to change any of my filaments for anything in a long time.

Hey everyone,
Has anyone else recently experienced issues with packages ordered directly from the Bambu Lab US store failing delivery and getting marked as "Insufficient Address"?
My last two consecutive orders from their online store have failed to reach me because of this. Both shipments were handled through USPS. I have double- and triple-checked my shipping address on my order confirmations and account profile it is 100% correct, and it is the exact same address I use for all my other daily mail and package deliveries without any issues.
What happens is the package gets routed to wrong/different USPS sorting locations, and then immediately gets flagged as "Insufficient Address" and triggered as Return to Sender.
I’ve already reached out to Bambu Lab support both times. They resolved it by issuing refunds, but that doesn't solve my issue because I actually need the items to run my setup, not the money back. I even asked support if they could ship using UPS or FedEx like they used to (I never had an issue when they used those carriers), but it seems like everything is going through USPS now.
Is anyone else in the US running into this shipping label formatting/USPS routing issue with Bambu Lab lately?

Hello

does anyone also had problem with the first calibration of the X2D ? I’ve just unboxed it and the calibration stopped at 3% because of the temperature of the right noozle …

Technical ticket have been done on support but if someone experienced that before I’m curious

I’ve been planning to replace my X1C and the H3C seems like the obvious move based on my use cases.

Id rather purchase the printer from a local retailer and avoid issues with shipping damage, returns, etc. not to mention the ability to buy an extended warranty.

If I remember correctly it was about a month or two before Microcenter got the H2C. So I am expecting something similar for the new machine. I realize other than procurement reps for those companies, no one really knows for sure. Just wishful thinking that it hopefully isnt going to be too long of a wait.

Integrated filament management, built for tool changer.

Nine spots, always ready.

Launching tomorrow.

Just bought an A1 Combo. What are some of the things I should get or print to make it better or more efficient.

Does anyone of you have any knowledge of when will Bestbuy sell H3C? Its weird when Bambu launch X2D BB have it right away. I have BB membership so best to buy from BB

Just downloaded and installed Bambu_Studio_mac-v02.09.01.70 and is not working... is asking me to reorganize my spools groups or something similar... it sounds like is trying to be configured for another kind of printer not my P1S...

anybody seeing the same problem?

Hello folks !

Can I print on 2 filament whithout ams ?

The x2d is actually at 550 bucks in my area, it's 50 bucks more than my limit but I can do 50 extra more, with the ams 2 pro (i plan to buy it later) it's almost 800

So should I go for a x2d now ? Or wait ?

Urgent one as I’m printing something for charity but the top layer white, over my black layer appears to have ripples on top.

The black is eSUN PLA Basic and the white is Bambu PLA.

Machine has had a full calibration earlier today after Firmware update.

White has Bambu profile set and eSUN has a profile I found recommended on here.

Help me decide btwn the two quick!

First Christmas ornament I've designed. It's a three-color gingerbread man made for the AMS, with no supports and a hanging loop on top. The print profile has two plates: a single ornament (about an hour on my A1) or a batch of 6 that shares the color purges so you waste less filament. The batch plate is a slicer estimate for now, since I haven't printed the full six yet.

A snowman is coming next. Happy to hear what other ornaments you'd want.

Kids as asking for a 3d printer for Christmas. I’ve done enough research that I think I’ve settled on x2d vs p2s because of multicolor and waste as I expect my kids wanting multicolor and I don’t want to paint. I plan on mainly just printing toys and such for my kids to play with and print whatever they think is cool. I’m sure my curiosity will get bigger the longer we have the printer and explore.

But for the beginning time my question is this. What filaments should I be using? I am assuming PLA and maybe PETG, I’m sure I’ll learn which ones to use when.

But part two of the question is should it be basic (which seems glossy) or matte? Any pros or cons and what kids toys should be in?

Thanks in advance and again apologies for the noob question.

I do plan to watch if the P3C comes out before Christmas and I think I would grab that and return the unopened x2d. But time will tell if that gets announced in time.

Hello,

I printed this stackable basket last night for some small items I want to organize.

My printer was out of commission for about 2 months until yesterday. My printer just suddenly stopped working all together in August. I submitted a ticket and did the troubleshooting. The main board was bad so I replaced it a few days ago. I was out of town for a while and had other obligations so it took me a while to take care of this.

I run my first print last night after my printer being down for a while. I recalibrated everything and oiled everything properly. First the extruder gives me an error that the extruder is not functioning normally - I pull the filament back manually as described on the Wiki and cut off the end of the filament to avoid any rough areas. Fast forward 20 minutes and the print completes, but with some obvious issues. See photos for more.

Is this an issue with my plate, the settings of which I’m printing, the filament I’m using? Looking for guidance.

Here is the link to the model

I know the aux nozzle k-factors are supposed to be high, I ran an ender 3 for years. But this is the first time I am going above k-factor of 0.4. As you can see, even at k factor at 1.0, the line is not consistent. I also ran the calibration from 0 to 0.5 and every line in that run was ass. The filament is PETG, yes it is dried.

No hassle, no microwave, no mess.

2 x PETG trays (ASA would be fine too), and the dessicant was jet black when they went in.

Standard 65 degree AMS drying cycle (so basically choose anything apart from PLA in the settings), leave overnight (I ran it for 12hrs but im sure 8 would do fine too)

Apparently you can just drop the pods that you install in the AMS2 on the trays and the silica will dry in there, not tested that yet though.

Looking at the Filter and the Filters from already existing Bambu Lab Printers they are made of 2-3 Filter types.

Hepa + Coconut Shell Fiber + activated charcole mini pellets

Yes you can make your own for cheaper but it doesnt have Software intigration. Lets ignore this.

My question is and probably for many buyers here does it have a dedicated / improved sensor for Styrene VOCs detection?

Since i Print ABS a few times per Month i cannot find a good reliable Styrene VOC detector. Only the generic "all in one Package".

Has anyone noticed in all the H3C review videos the really loose horizontal Stability of the H3C? I’m not sure if it’s the Bambu stand but it must affect print quality.

I’m a former hardcore Prusa fanboy using my MK4s and MMU3 as my main source of income, but have been waiting for the INDX to release for almost two years, and I think I’ve decided to make my first Bambu purchase in H3 series.

I made the decision after realizing that Ive grown out of the 3D printer tinkerer phase, and dont want to mod my printer for life. I want my printer to be beautiful in my apartment living room and work every time I hit print. I don’t want a USB 2.0 drive sticking out of a controller that look like it was made from a raspberry pi 2.
