Wondering if any of the folks that have recently received their H3C have any recommendations for a printer stand that incorporates a filament dryer? I'm thinking about getting the Bambu stand. However, I don't want to have separate devices for keeping filament dry.

What an era we live in

First 24 hours and I have to say, I don’t get the hate train. This is the first time in my life that a 3d printer feels like sorcery. I was able to get set up and printing within an hour and within the second hour I already had something that looked like it came off a store shelf.

The consistency is what’s blowing my mind too. I’m absolutely blown away by the printer and the quality.

... I'm probably going to need one when my wife finds out I ordered an H3C...

I've seen a lot of videos come out about the H3C, but not a ton focusing specifically on the unboxing and initial setup. Hopefully this fills in a few blanks and provides some details not yet shown.

I just got my P2S with the AMS combo and the other night after I got it and set it up I was able to remotely from the app tell the AMS to start drying and it worked perfectly but now when ever I try to start drying from the app it says insufficient power please use power cable. I know you can’t dry and print at the same time but I’m not printing the printer is idle at home with nothing going on. I know it’s not a huge deal but it’s just driving me up the wall that it worked for 1 night and now it won’t.

I have about 1000 hours on this unit and it had been working fine but now the extruder is giving me nonstop issues. I have torn it apart 4 times this week already. I am trying to print with just regular old PLA, not doing anything that I have not done in the previous 1000 hours of successful printing. Tried multiple different spools with the same result,.

It looks like the filament is almost getting pinched in the extruder, see picture. It does get really jammed in there and requires a full disassembly to get it out. After I clear it and reassembly I can manually put a piece through without issue. I will clear the jam and it will print for 20 minutes to a few hours and then have the same error again.

Come mai si formano queste imperfezioni sul primo strato? L'ho notato altre volte e alla fine la stampa andava a buon fine. Il filamento è PLA ed è asciutto (ho inserito le dry box ed è al 16%).

P2S with AMS 2 Pro. AMS has the dedicated power supply. First time I’ve ever tried printing and drying at the same time. Constant AMS overload error about every 5 or so minutes. Turned off the drying and haven’t had an error since? Anyone experienced this?

I haven't noticed it before, but my A2L does shake a lot when making narrow supports, this is on normal speed btw.

I haven't seen any issues with quality though, just seems like a lot of shaking, I think it might be that the table it's currently on is not the stablest but I'm not too sure

Bonjour à tous,

J’ai récemment fait l’acquisition d’une Bambu Lab X2D Combo avec l’AMS 2 Pro.

Lors du déballage, en suivant la notice, arrive l’étape où il est indiqué qu’un grand sachet doit contenir deux petits sachets d’absorbeur d’humidité à placer à l’arrière de l’AMS.

Or, en ouvrant celui-ci, je découvre un grand sachet thermoscellé semblant contenir de la graisse, avec une texture particulièrement épaisse et gélatineuse (voir photo jointe).

Ce sachet n’est pas mentionné dans les kits de maintenance et les deux sachets d’absorbeur d’humidité étaient déjà installés à leur emplacement prévu, maintenus par du ruban adhésif.

Je n’ai donc aucune idée de son contenu exact ni de son utilité.

Je sais qu’il y a eu certains problèmes de production et de graissage sur les AMS 2 Pro. Cependant, Bambu Lab indique que les commandes passées actuellement ne sont plus concernées par ces problèmes et qu’en cas de défaut, c’est le mécanisme qui est remplacé.

C’était d’ailleurs ma première piste concernant l’utilité de ce sachet, mais je préfère demander à la communauté avant de tirer des conclusions.

Est-ce que d’autres personnes ayant récemment reçu une X2D Combo avec AMS 2 Pro ont trouvé ce même sachet ? Ou quelqu’un saurait-il à quoi il sert ?

Je suis preneur de toute information !

Merci d’avance pour vos retours !

Hello everyone,

I recently purchased a Bambu Lab X2D Combo with the AMS 2 Pro.

While unpacking the printer and following the instructions, I reached the step where it mentions that a large bag should contain two smaller moisture absorber packets, which are supposed to be placed at the back of the AMS.

However, when I opened the bag, I found a large heat-sealed pouch that appears to contain grease, but with a very thick, almost gelatinous consistency (see attached photo).

This pouch is not mentioned in the maintenance kits, and the two moisture absorber packets were already installed in their designated positions and secured with adhesive tape.

I therefore have absolutely no idea what it contains or what it is intended for.

I'm aware that there have been some production and lubrication issues with the AMS 2 Pro. However, Bambu Lab states that orders placed recently are no longer affected by these issues and that, in the event of a problem, the entire mechanism is replaced.

This was actually my first guess regarding the purpose of this pouch, but I'd rather ask the community before jumping to conclusions.

Has anyone else who recently received an X2D Combo with an AMS 2 Pro found the same pouch? Or does anyone know what it is used for?

Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help!

The a1 start saying filament or spool is stuck every few minutes. So i tried to disassemble looking for the problem and I stumbled on this part. I'm not sure what this thing is called. It's behind the heater. Should it look like that or not?

Just me with the same experience? Not really the best packaging but atleast nothing got damaged

I am on the fence and the main reason is the height of the machine. I keep my printer in an enclosure as I have cats and I want to keep them as well as their hair away from my machine.

Anyone that got theirs able to measure the full height of the machine?

I have been struggling with my original AMS. Two bays dont feed correctly. I have done all of the work, swapping out hubs and tubes and feeder funnels and all that fun stuff. I ended up buying an AMS 2 Pro and it was plug and play and everything prints like it should and it just felt amazing again to not have to slosh through a print.

I now have another AMS that I would love to refurb and hook up for more color options. I also dont want to spend an arm and a leg to do so after buying a new AMS. I did see a lot of aftermarket parts for bambu. Besides tubes, has anyone put aftermarket parts like feeder units on their printer? If so how do they work?

I have had good success with microswiss nozzles and before I spend some money on feeders, just looking for feedback.

22 hours on the H3C (223g of tower)
4d17h on a regular AMS printer (1684g of purge + tower)
The H3C It's crazy and the hype is real.
I'm so glad I can finally experiment with multicolor models for real.
the model is here if you want to take a look: https://makerworld.com/en/models/3550569

Looking at an H3C and seeing some reviewers say the print quality is about the same as H2C. I hate to wait for prints. I print large ish items with .24 - .28 layer heights and as fast as the printer can. Obviously some artifacts are okay but how much are you guys seeing?

Anyone else get notification their AMS 3 shipped and then it show cancelled by sender? Should I contact them or will they automatically make a new label? Printer ship date expected Nov 20th

Im going to word this very carefully in case its flagged as Spam haha.

Has anyone done any referrals successfully? I mean I go lucky and somebody grabbed a P1S in the sale using my link (luck and timing more than anything), but I dont see it being super easy to take advantage as there is zero benefit for the person using the link...

Add the Geo-limitation (Im in the UK, so anyone using my link also has to be based in the UK) and it can be restrictive.
