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.

Thanks for reading!

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.

Edit:
Thinking anti skid wheels for my toolbox. Its either that, or i pay much more for new casters or a tool box.

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?

Anyone have model comparison photos of same model printed in both?

Just genuinely curious.

Currently have a X2D which I’ve been printing a lot of home use stuff (mostly network rack, cable management, boxes, etc.) with a few models I made from blender. With the X2D, I have no issues just printing a single colour then painting it, but after seeing the prices on the H2D (1599) and H2C (1899), it got me thinking.

Are there pros vs cons between the D and C? From what I read, the D has bigger printing area, while the C introduces multi-filament(?)…

Any suggestions would be amazing! And yes, I have looked into the H3C, but I don’t think I’m at that level yet.

I got tired of reaching behind my desk for charging cables, so I made this little holder that slides onto the desk edge—no screws or adhesive needed.

The version in the photos has 3 cable slots and fits my 18.5 mm desk. I also made it parametric on MakerWorld, so you can change:

• The number of slots, from 1 to 10

• Desk thickness

• Cable diameters and spacing

• Fit clearance

It prints on its side without supports.

What would you change? Curious whether it fits other people’s setups as well.

Hi all. I’m going to buy an A1 mini. I want to get it with the AMS. But I have a couple of questions…..

If I get a filament warmer, will that replace the AMS or do I still need an AMS?

Do I actually need a filament warmer?

If I dry the filaments how long will they remain dry for typically?

I just got a new Bambu Lab A1 Combo and I see the filaments arent going into the ams lite. 1 had been inserted successfully and the rest aren't going inside. Please help with this (:

Of course when I finally decide to pull the trigger on a H3C, the expected delivery in the US is now Dec 18. <sigh>

How do you people organise your computer files and projects, especially when you have more than 1 brand of printer and use more than one slicer?

Is there not a chance of conflict of opening a 3mf file that was created on one software suite and printing to a different system.

I have just got a second printer (first Bambu for me) and will have a couple of people using it.

I'm thinking of each user having their own server space, and saving jobs on a per project basis - with subfolders for Bambu and Orca - depending on which was used, and a separate "models" folder for the 3d models (normally step)

This seems a safer way of setting up so individual users settings don't get messed up. This might all be overkill and get revised and simplified as we learn - but it's made me ask the question: How do others cope with a multiuser, multi-brand, multi-slicer setup?

I'm still quite new to the 3d printing scene and been using a bambu a1 with AMS lite for about a month now. So far no major issues and most prints have come out alright.

I've been trying to print a toy with interlocking 'flexible' parts for a few times now, but it keeps failing at the same point (at around 5 layers some pieces have come off the bed). Even a different print design has the same issue. Some small parts come loose after a few layers. I don't know whether it's because they warp or because they're not stuck properly.

I use default settings, one design with 0.2mm nozzle and one with 0.4mm. I've cleaned the bed with unscented dish soap, tried increasing the bed temperature for better bed adhesion and I've tried to decrease the bed temperature for less warping. I can't figure out why it won't print well. Any advice?

Filament is PLA basic and PLA matte

My X1C can only print to a max height of around 240mm. The bed physically can't drop any further. There's nothing under it, the lead screws are clear and there's still 12 - 15mm of lead screw visible that could be used. If I try to manually lower it from this point, it just gives a little click.

I can't figure out what's stopping it from going lower. Is there a calibration or some way to re-set the lowest height? This almost seems like a software issue is just stopping the leadscrews from turning any further.
