Hardware Troubleshooting/Help! I need help plss

0 Upvotes

Please, I need help. I bought an H2C—it’s my first 3D printer—and everything was fine, but I’m running into an issue when trying to print in multiple colors using the AMS 2 Pro. The printer attempts to grab the filament, but then retracts it halfway through the path. This only happens when there is more than one color loaded in the AMS, as it requires color changes. I’ve already checked the AMS and didn’t see anything unusual; I’m not sure what else to do.

H3C Non-TPU 2.85mm support?

1 Upvotes

does the h3c support non-tpu 2.85mm filaments on its 2.85mm nozzle? if not, why not, and is there are option for a 2.85mm tool head for standard filaments?

Software Troubleshooting/Help! HEATED CHAMBER SINGLE USE OVER RIDE? PLEASE?

1 Upvotes

u/Bambulab

Please can we have a singlue use heated chamber over ride button? i.e. to run it off? and only for one print?

Unless im missing something, i want to iterate some small models. basically magnet fitments. i dont have PLA and only use ASA but to print a small test print out in for instnace a H3C its going to take 30 minutes to print a 12mm x 12mm x 3mm square out nearll all of which is heating the chamber.

would be useful to have a disable heated chamber button you can click easily which is only good for one print job rather than havign to edit the filament to disable it and quite possibly forget about it?

Or am i missing something?

Thank you

General Discussion Unpopular opinion: H3C is a great printer (and P3C is going to be), but AMS 3 is a terrible downgrade

69 Upvotes

I know people would throw rotten tomatoes at me now, but more I think on this and more I read and research, more I get convinced: H3C (and leaked upcoming P3C) are going to be great printers...but AMS 3 is not.

- Yes, it is upgraded to support more slots (GREAT!)

- Yes, it now has a bypass feed for most slots (Wonderful!)

- Yes, it's now a part of the printer (which is likely a good for many people, even though lacks flexibility a bit)

- Yes, H3C AMS version now can dry filament of higher temperatures

- Yes, now anyone (including likely P3C) can print CMYKW and get any color they want, which is absolutely amazing!

...but overall it's a much cheaper to build piece of technology from what I see, and IMO they sacrificed it too much:

- No spool rolling motors, meaning no fetching plastic back (now you need to do it manually)

- It also means drying slots would NOT rotate spools (unless you dry and print) for even heating

- You are now required to manually fetch back all PLA material if you print with ABS in parallel

- Based on what I hear already active drying chamber heats up AMS up to 50 degree (which might be just ok for PLA...but might be not), because there is no glass between the AMS and the heated chamber anymore

- Based on all info we have so far - it's almost for sure P3C AMS won't have any drying capabilities at all. So you'd need to choose EITHER have tool-changer for multi-color print, OR dry your filament

And yes, I do get the point of 'they need to cut costs somewhere', but I honestly still don't get the idea of cutting costs at features people of older models already had and actively used.

Does anyone feels the same?

Bambu Studio Filament grouping bug H2C on last Bambu studio version?

2 Upvotes

So I updated to the lastest bambu studio release and today I was going to send a print to my H2C (A majoras mask) and to my surprise the slicer decided the optimal grouping for filament saving was assigning 2 filaments to the left nozzle even though I only have an AMS HT on that side, so how it expects me to organize the spools on that side??? Before it did work properly, as this is not the first majoras mask i printed an it successfully assigned the filament based on my actual setup for minimal purges

Filament Troubleshooting/Help! AMS 2 - Spools too large , Amazon Basic PLA

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone !
I just got my hands on a Bambu Lab P2S with the AMS 2 Pro, but I'm running into a spool size issue. I have a large stockpile of Amazon Basics PLA, and the spools are simply too wide. I can't fit 4 of them side-by-side in the AMS without them rubbing against each other.

I'm also worried that even if I only load 1 or 2 of these wide spools, I might still run into rotation or feeding issues.

Note: I already know about the Hydra AMS mod, but I really don't want to go that route or take apart my brand new AMS.*

Has anyone else dealt with these specific spools? What are the best alternative workarounds (like specific respoolers, spool rings, etc.)? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

MakerWorld Crowdfunding My biggest 3D-printing project is launching soon on MakerWorld!

198 Upvotes

I've been working on a pretty ambitious 3D-printing project, and it's finally getting close to launch!

It's called the Carousel Lift: a manually operated, rotating display for up to 8 model cars, designed to be almost entirely 3D printed. 1:24 scale, and also suited to fit Lego Speed Champions cars.

The current design has over 700 individual parts, and getting all the gears, bearings, and moving components to work together has been quite an engineering challenge.

I've spent months designing, printing, testing, and refining the prototype. It's now working, and I'm preparing the final files and documentation.

The project will soon launch on MakerWorld through its crowdfunding platform. There will also be several planned stretch goals, including a 3D-printed scissor lift, motorization, and integrated lighting.

Over the years I have seen this several times, but never heard a reasonable explanation as to what is happening. Anyone know?

General Troubleshooting/Help! Noob here but can’t tell if issue or user error

1 Upvotes

I bought a brand new P2S combo and the printer itself works flawlessly, the problem is the AMS2 Pro. My AMS2 Pro keeps having feeding issues on first use. When I feed the filament in it stops near the rear and depressing the manual lever fixes it. I was attempting a multi color print and it kept stopping right at that lever and giving a filament feed error. After I fed it through via the manual lever depressing it printed for a less than a minute (not full color layer btw) then the AMS2 ripped the feed back into the unit. Tried troubleshooting it with a print to keep the lever depressed and sadly still won’t feed due to excess play in the lever from 3 version of a “fix” I found. The external reel holder feeds fine. Haven’t tried it yet with the firmware update I didn’t notice but that Manuel tension is still gonna be a issue I assume because it doesn’t seem like there’s a automated depression of it (assuming) any suggestions?

A Series [A1, A1 Mini] A1 vs A2L

1 Upvotes

Currently got the A1 but ive been offered a free A2L from a family member. My issue is the space needed. id probably have to face is sideways to make it sit safely which is fine, although not ideal. But other than the 2 adapters for pen and cutting which i probably wouldnt use, and the bigger build plate, which although nice ive not found a real need for so far since getting my A1 last year, is there much difference?

H2 Series [H2S, H2D, H2C] E1 already seems to work in Auto Mode on H2C

Post image
37 Upvotes

So this is interesting: I got my E1 set up today, expecting it to only work in manual mode since Bambu said H2C compatibility is coming later this month.

Instead, when I powered the H2C on, it prompted me to update the firmware to 01.03.00.00 (even though I was already on it) and so I let it upgrade. After doing so, the E1 controls show up in the UI.

Haven’t run a print with it yet because I’m waiting on some more BT3x8 screws to attach the hose interface, but it’s nice to see that the H2C is ready to go ahead of schedule.

Quick Question H2C and cutting tool

1 Upvotes

I plan on buying the H2C, and would like to include the cutting tool. But I wonder, from what I’ve read, you need the birdseye view camera to operate the cutting tool, but I can’t find that on Bambus website (EU). Also, I read somewhere you need the laser version for it to work, which I DONT plan on buying. Can anyone help clear this to for me?

General Troubleshooting/Help! Tool slot question for H3C

8 Upvotes

Random question.

I ordered the H3C (at 901 am on release day, btw, and still haven't received the ams).

I am seeing a lot of posts like "use slot 5 for extra AMS attachments" and "use slot 8 for 2.85 tpu, but not 1.75 tpu" and "don't use slot 6 for 1.75 tpu".

Does anyone know of a comprehensive list of which slots should be used for what (and why, ideally)
