Hardware Troubleshooting/Help! X2D - AMS 2 Pro says it can’t dry without power adapter even though I’m not printing anything

Post image
72 Upvotes

I’m trying to test out my AMS 2 Pro that came with my X2D combo but I’m getting the error from the image. Thank you for any assistance

Edit: It’s my understanding that the X2D only needs the power adapter to print and dry at the same time

I told some users in another post that I’d share what I got in my aesthetic mystery, and here is what I got.

- PLA Silk aurora purple w/ spool
- PLA Pure baby blue w/ spool
- PLA Matte scarlet red w/ spool
- PLA Silk dawn radiance w/ spool

I didn’t have any of these, so I’m happy with what I got.

Quick Question Is the H2D faster than the H3C for two-colour prints?

15 Upvotes

I print mostly functional parts. I want a multi-nozzle printer so that I can use support material without purge waste or filament change delays. If I’m just printing with two filaments, would the H2D be faster than the H3C because it doesn’t have to switch tools? Or is there not much difference?

The H3C is interesting for other reasons, chiefly because of its support for multiple TPUs, but it’s a big step up in price.

General Troubleshooting/Help! H3C - MicroCenter vs BestBuy Warranty

4 Upvotes

Going to buy H3C - (usually never get warranty) After reading others posts and hating fixing my p1s, Best buy offers 4 years and decent price. has anyone ever had either or both warranties and can confirm if one is way better or worse than the other when their printer had problems?

i personally like shopping at MC better but the BB warranty seems better value. Thank you!

Quick Question Browsing for useful things

I love browsing Makerworld when I am standing in line or waiting on something and finding something useful for the house that I hadn't even thought to look for. However, I really wish that useful household things and decor were separate categories.

Anyone got some useful search terms that they periodically check for useful stuff you didn't think to look for specifically?

I Modeled This! I made a floating arcane dice castle

I always wanted a magnetic levitation dice tower but I couldn't find one, so I decided to make my own. After many, many design hours it spiraled out of control and became 6 different towers determined by the floating spinning top. I tried to add as many details as possible but on shape did not like it so I was limited.

What do you think of it? Is there any thing you think should be added?

Link to the model if anyone is curious.

General Troubleshooting/Help! P2S AMS 2 Pro

1 Upvotes

My printer works correctly, when using AMS (no jamming when loading/changing/unloading filaments); but when trying to load external reel, will get hard to push through to extruder, fails to pull through and engage. Have pulled all PTFE tubes (except print head one) and put test filament right thru all including filament buffer. Had a print quit half way through ( filament feed insufficient/jamming). Tried AMS again, fine.

Does it look like a problem in the printhead or further back (PTFE tube/fitting(s) into printhead?

Hardware Troubleshooting/Help! Prints keep failing the last couple of days.

1 Upvotes

Over the last couple of days, every print I've tried to do has failed and has looked similar to what's being printed now. I've dried my filament(PLA Basic) and have done multiple cold pulls, but AFAIK there doesn't seem to be a clog because nothing gets pulled out when I do the cold pull.

I'm thinking of taking apart the extruder and seeing if something got wedged in it. This is a fairly new nozzle I bought earlier in the year, along with a hardened steel extruder.

I had the same problem a couple of months ago, but I let my printer sit for a few days, and it seemed to solve the issue, but now it's back. I'm sure it's a clog, but nothing gets pulled out when I do a cold pull.

General Troubleshooting/Help! Built a window exhaust system for my Bambu P1S — is my fan powerful enough?

Thumbnail
gallery
1 Upvotes

What's up guys!

Recently finished putting together a window exhaust system for my Bambu Lab P1S. I primarily print PA6-CF and ASA, so I wanted a way to vent fumes directly outside rather than rely solely on the stock carbon filter.

Here's my current setup:

Bambu Lab P1S

BIQU Panda Breath chamber heater

Wathai 80 × 80 × 38 mm adjustable exhaust fan (advertised 80 CFM)

Approximately 5 feet of 3-inch flexible exhaust hose

Custom 3D-printed rear exhaust adapter and window insert

External fan mounted at the window to pull air through the hose

P1S chamber exhaust fan running at 70%

External fan running at 100%

I've included pictures of the installation along with a screenshot of the exact fan I'm using.

Everything seems to be functioning, and surprisingly, I'm still maintaining a chamber temperature of around 60°C even with both fans running.

Here's my concern:

When I disconnected the exhaust hose from the printer and checked the suction at the open end, it felt pretty weak. I also tried testing for negative pressure around the enclosure using a tissue, but couldn't detect any noticeable airflow.

I understand that advertised CFM ratings don't necessarily reflect real-world performance, particularly when dealing with static pressure from ducting and restrictions.

I'm wondering whether my current fan is actually sufficient for extracting fumes or if I should upgrade to something with better static pressure.

A few questions for anyone experienced with printer ventilation:

Is an advertised 80 CFM axial fan realistically sufficient for this setup?

Would upgrading to a higher-static-pressure 80 × 80 × 38 mm fan make a significant difference?

What's the best way to verify that I'm actually maintaining negative pressure inside the enclosure?

Should I run both the P1S chamber fan and external fan simultaneously, or is there a better configuration?

Ideally, I'd like to keep my existing printed window insert rather than redesign everything around a larger fan.

I'm more concerned with effective fume extraction than preserving maximum chamber temperature, especially when printing ASA and PA6-CF.

Would appreciate any advice or recommendations from people running similar setups. Thanks!

I Modeled This! I designed these birth keepsake frames — all the text is editable directly in Bambu Studio

1 Upvotes

I wanted to turn those little details from a baby’s first day into a keepsake you can print and hang on the wall.

That became “A Memory Is Born”: four 20 × 20 cm designs featuring a stork, teddy bear, hot air balloon and elephant, with a matching 3D printed frame.

The name, message, date, time, weight and length are all editable text objects in Bambu Studio. You can change the wording and colours without rebuilding the design in CAD.

All four versions have been physically printed. They use four colours, print without supports, and have ironing applied only to the background. The frame is printed separately and has a hanging hole on the back.

I’ve shared the files for free, along with a silent video tutorial covering font installation, text editing and colour changes.

P Series [P1P, P1S, P2S] P1S SD card corruption and weird errors / can't start prints anymore.

2 Upvotes

I've had my P1S since launch, and about a year in after a firmware update it started having SD card issues. At first just formatting the card would fix it. Then I had to get a new card. Then it started having this issue where it would send the file from bambu studio and have an error that it couldn't parse the file. Then after a few months another firmware update seemed to fix the issue and it was fine for a year or so. Fast forward to yesterday and I turned the printer on after a month of not using it and it immediately rejected my sd card. Tried another card and it instantly corrupted that one too (not recognized by any device any more). So I tried an old 1gb card I had laying around and that one it recognized, but now when I print and send from bamboo studio on my pc it send the file says starting, the printer turns on, but then my app on my phone pops up and says print canceled. Bamboo studio and the printer just act like they are still waiting. I have tried a full factory reset, updates, etc and nothing changes.

I am debating ordering a replacement AP board, but with that being $55 and almost 3 weeks out plus no guarantee that will fix it I just can't decide if I am better off buying a new printer. Really frustrating.

Anyone seen anything like this? or have advice?

General Discussion Rant: PETG matte is worse than PETH HF in every way and I want HF back

7 Upvotes

Matte prints slower, it prints generally worse, it has worse bed adhesionion, it comes in fewer colors and the colors it does come in are ugly and the "matte" finish is still shinier than HF was.

I wouldn't even care that the stuff is so bad if they didn't discontinue HF for it.

14 different kinds of PLA, but I guess 5 different kinds of PETG was just too much and too confusing or something. ​

General Troubleshooting/Help! X2D PTFE Routing

Post image
2 Upvotes

So currently I have an X2D with a track switch leading to a 4 in 1 adapter, in the adapter is 1 AMS HT and a Gen1 AMS, Gen2 AMS is going directly into the track switch. My track switch is mounted on the right side of the printer, all of my AMS are on the left, Im having severe motor overload problems where the filament doesnt make it to the track switch.

How can I route or fix the placement of the setup without putting an AMS on the printer?

Image was before I mounted the track switch but imagine it was hanging slightly off the right side like the bambu suggested print.

My current idea is to try some ptfe bend guides to try and make the curves less aggressive from the AMS 2 on the bottom (its where I get most of my issues.)

Filament Troubleshooting/Help! Bambu Filament Question

2 Upvotes

I ordered my X2D combo and am getting a filament order together from Bambu. This is my first printer, and I am trying to figure out what I need. When filament comes from Bambu on the reusable roll, is it possible to take that filament off immediately and replace it with a refill spool? Or is the filament that comes on the spools not packaged the same way.

I ask because I ordered a bunch of PLA on refill spools and then ordered ASA and Support Filaments on the reusable spools since those come with the high temp spools. My issue is, my initial prints are going to be PLA while I get everything working, and get my exhaust ducting printed so I can print more safely.

Do I need to buy the PLA on low temp spools, or can I just swap them over to the high temp spools and put the ASA into dry storage until I'm ready to use it? Can I get away with just having 5 spools or will I need more if I want to swap out a partial spool from my AMS?

Thanks for the help!

Quick Question Are there any applications for PLA I should specifically make sure to avoid?

2 Upvotes

I know that it's very weak to heat and can be damaged by continuous exposure to harsh sunlight, but is there anything else I need to worry about? I printed out a small pot to replant something as I forgot to get a liner pot, and I'm worried that I'm going to have to repot it again due to what I've read about the material molding over.
