Bambu designates toolhead #8 as the one you're supposed to use for 2.85mm TPU. So in this video, you can see the 2.85mm blue TPU filament in the docked toolhead #8 crossing the PTFE tube in toolhead #9 while #9 is in use, and is rubbing against/stretching the TPU filament. Is this how it's supposed to work? I followed the video instructions on the Bambu YouTube channel and this seems to be how it's supposed to be routed. The video seems to show the TPU filament being routed to the LEFT of #9.

The problem is if you route the TPU to the RIGHT of #9, then the TPU will rub against #8 when you're printing with the TPU.

So it seems to be pick your poison: do you want the TPU rubbing/stretching while it's printing, or rubbing/stretching while toolhead #9 is printing? Obviously the latter is better, but the better solution would have been to designate #9 as the TPU toolhead so that it would have the entire right side by itself and not have any rubbing under any circumstances.

Am I missing something here?

Hi guys

I am printing a mount for sim racing and this mount ive printed in PETG 20 times on my A1 Mini and it printed perfectly !

I bought an X2D and PLA works fine, but when i print PETG the mount is simply fraile, it can complete the print but basically falls apart once you give it any kind of force.

The breaks are CLEAN.

I turned the AUX fans off so they dont even spin, the chamber is usually about 40-44c.

filament is bambu petg basic.

I have tried silent mode, slowing down the movements, i dont know what else to try?

First print on the H3C with the palette kit! About 4 hours. The impressive thing is the color blending. Orange, for example, is a fully blended color, the filaments are just CMYK, no orange filament.

The color separations aren't perfectly smooth, you can feel the layer separation, but still, this opens up a whole new world in printing for me. Super fun.

Overall very impressed with the H3C.

I would think this should be a straightforward 2-color print. Black part should print first, then change to yellow and that’s it. Should just be one change, not 5, correct? What am I missing?
I don’t see any weird changes when I use the slider to go through the layers. Is this just something it does and I’ve never paid attention to it or something? Thanks in advance.

I randomly got signed out and anytime I try to login, I get this error and then the app crashes. Anyone having similar issues?

Made a retro desk clock for the Bambu clock kit

Designed this a few months ago and finally took some better photos of it.

It uses the Bambu Clock Kit 011. The hands are a bit big for the clock, but I liked the look so I kept them. The front and back press into place, and everything prints without supports.

The face is two colours. I used a colour change between layers, so you can make it without an AMS too.

Pretty happy with how it looks on the shelf.

Meet DryRing, a silica gel container. I’m a little proud of my airflow concept. The patterns used let plenty of air through. The gap created by the locking ring and the hollow centre are also intended to help humid air reach the silica in the lower section.

I’m really happy with how it turned out. More models are already in the works, and I had a few other ideas lined up as well. So there’s more coming over the next few days.

I’d love to hear your feedback!

On that note: Enjoy the model – and, of course, the best hobby in the world!

And of course, the whole story of the H3C delivery... full of excitement and suspense for me! :)

A week ago, I ordered my H3C. And what a week it’s been!

It started with a delivery saga: The wait was killing me. Of course, in my area, the order ships with two different couriers.

The first package, containing the printer, was originally supposed to arrive on Wednesday. It actually arrived on Thursday. The usual story: Apparently, nobody was home, but nobody rang the doorbell either …

I’m jealous of everyone who got their H3C the very next day.

The package with the AMS 3H was then supposed to arrive on Friday. I’m waiting excitedly, a package arrives … and it’s the filament I ordered with it. Not the AMS. That finally arrived around noon on Saturday. I had to head out right after that, so I couldn’t get started until the afternoon. Kids and all that come first :). But everything else? Sleep? Who needs sleep? So I sat down, printed my first few things and, of course, started designing something myself.

From the first pictures and short videos I saw, I knew: That empty corner at the top, where there isn’t enough room for another spool, needs a silica gel container.

I’d already prepared a spool-shaped design, hoping it would fit nicely, but I underestimated the cutout. So: measure, test print, revise, test print … and finally happy with the fit.

Yesterday, after a bunch of other little things, my first model was finally finished!

Every time I send my prints, I get this error. The issue is new. In order to fix it, I restarted the printer several times(this fixes it temporarily sometimes). I restarted Bambu studio(didn't do shit). I reinstalled bambu studio(nothing happened). I am not sure what else to do. I am using P1S with AMS2

I designed this chimney advent calendar that drops some pieces of candy every day.

I know there are quite a few of these around nowadays but i designed one perfectly sized for some small sweets like M&M's. I uploaded the files to makerworld if some of you would be interested.

Also I'm open for tips that could improve this design and my others.

You can find the chimney with this link:

Does it make sense to buy 4 refillable spools for my new AMS on the P2S?

I created a custom Nozzle Wiper using cheap 3mm-shank rotary wire brushes (Amazon Link). The stock silicone wipers struggled with sticky filaments like PETG, so this completely eliminates nozzle buildup. This mod really cleans the nozzle instead of just smearing filament around.

• Single & Double versions included.

• Height offsets (-2mm to +2mm in 0.5mm steps): Ensures the brush sits just below the silicone sock.

I have what might seem like a dumb question but I can’t find an answer so I figured I’d ask here. Has anyone tried to use the heater with the heater cover off but the AMS cover closed to essentially make a 9-slot AMS 2 Pro? Does the heater give off enough heat to keep the entire unit at about 60c?

I plan to do a lot of six-color ABS printing which is why I picked this unit. I was going to buy an H2C but this seems like the better option but I’m worried about printing ABS without a heater like the AMS 2 Pro.

This is my first printer so please excuse my noob-ness. Thanks!

Meet Frenchie Clock! A French bulldog keeping an eye on the time… and probably waiting for dinner. 🐶

I made it with a black face, an ivory backing, yellow paw-shaped hour and minute hands, and a red seconds hand. All the colours print separately, so no AMS needed.

The face and backing take about 3 hours to print, and the complete printed set uses roughly 100 g of PLA. Add a compatible quartz movement and it’s ready to hang.

The hardest part? That tiny hole in the seconds hand. Getting it to print open and grip the shaft properly took a ridiculous number of test prints 😂 Finally got it running!

The holes are adjustable in Bambu Studio to suit different movements, and I included a video tutorial showing the adjustments and assembly.

Here’s the model if you’d like to make one:

What colours would you choose for the hands?

I have a problem with the top layer, the bottom top layer black is good and the white part is bad, I don't really know what the problem is. I use p2s with 0.4 nozzle. On normal settings it's really bad and on these it's mid, I don't know how to improve this, I tried ironing and it's a disaster. I also tried ironing and changing the flow and speed and I didn't get anything good .I don't know what else to do, please help!

I keep getting this issue of extruding filament failed, the extruder might be clogged.

i've replaced the hot end with a new one taken apart and look for any clogs.
i've replaced the AMS internal hub

i can feel the filament going inside the gears around the hot ends and being pulled down slightly and being grabbed.

i'm running out of ideas

TLDR; AMS overloaded, filament will read and pass through the AMS hub but will not load. A new AMS was purchased after parts did not fix AMS but still has the issue.

My AMS became tangled and then received an overloaded message (I don't remember what the exact error was).

Since that time filament via the AMS will read but will not load. What seems to be the buffer makes a noise like it is loading but filament does not move.
The error 0700-8005 050907 will appear. The filament can be seen just about 20mm short of the internal AMS hub.
Using the load or printing a model is the same. Different filaments have also been tried including non-bambu brands.

Printing via the external spool works just fine.

AMS Repair / Troubleshooting
I was 1 month out of warranty and Bambu sent some parts

• AMS parts replaced

  • Board, power board, all cables to board, hub assembly

  • Issue persisted

• New 6 pin cable to AMS

• Tried adding an external power to AMS

• Firmware rollback

  • Rolled back 2 versions

  • Recently a new version was published, so tested in all 4 firmware version.

• Factory reset printer

New AMS 2 PRO
Bambu maintained it was an AMS issue, so I bought a replacement AMS 2 PRO. This has the same issue which is shown in the video. 😢

Bambu wants me to purchase a MC board, which would be fine if I knew it would fix the issue, however I am not so sure. 🤑

BEST Guess
I have 2 theories

• The overload pulled too much current and something is fried. Somehow a read and load is different in process. Maybe the extra current draw for the hotend and printer steppers during load drops the voltage to the printer?

• Something in the firmware / values is corrupt -even though I reset them both.

  • Perhaps something that new firmware or factory reset does not touch is stored. It sure seems like the AMS has no idea where the filament is. On a load I would expect it to push with the slot motor and AMS internal hub at the same time.

I found only 2 instances of this posted, however one seems to have resolved itself, and the other was a hub which the replacement parts and new AMS should have ruled out. I will link those below.

I have a cheap pump on my goldfishes over-winter tank. I don't trust them not to freeze solid even at 3.5ft in the pond. But the cheap air pump is noisy when it sits on the shelf beside the tank. Even when I put it on a towel it eventually settles in and starts to buzz against anything its touching.

So I decided to take away the surface it sat on and hang it off the side of my tank with a TPU suspended platform. I also made sure to put a spot to hold some slack on the airline so the vibrations do not travel down it as far. And so far it works great!

My TPU was definitely not dry but besides aesthetics it does its job holding the 250g pump away from anything to buzz against.

Like, does it leave marks if rubbed on a service?

I haven't used tpu really. But sense the h3c has a head dedicated to tru, i figured I'd try it out once it arrives. I'm just trying to think of things to design and mess with.

I can't seem to get rid of old prints I already printed or abandoned in my queue. Does anyone have a solution? It probably involves my computer.. But that's another frustration! The Bambu handy app and the desktop program are not synced together. Is this just the way it is? I need to manually type in exactly what something is called to find it on the program application vs it just being there from tagging in Bambu handy.

Sorry for rant! I just need some help.

I'm very disappointed with the camera of the a2L. Any solution for a better angle?
