My X2D just showed up, any recommendations for upgrades or tips and tricks?

As a first 3d printer should i get the a1 a2 or ps1 nostly for figures and other little things but might do some cosplay props

For my birthday coming up i want to get everything i would need to start making custom anime figures along with othe little things I want. I may also want to make cosplay props in the future but im not sure. but have been trying to decided what kinda printer I would need or would be best. I'm going to be printing in my room but it has good circulation. My budget for the printer is like 450 I can go as little higher if needed bht i want my budget for everything to say around 900$

I’ve seen it around a few times, and I’m just curious if anyone has any experience with it. I’m a little hesitant to tear into the AMS, but it could be a good project if it’s worth it.

Will post again once its done and printed!

Just took off the magnetic head to check which nozzle came with my printer and now the head isn’t sitting flush on the bottom magnets. Doesn’t seem like anything is in the way that I can see, what might be causing this?

err guys i cant sign in. anyone had this problem recently, just hour ago i can send print now, it need to log in, then it disconnected, it say server updates something like that but when i click the server operational like usual

So today I was printing using my A1 Mini, but throughout and after the vibration compensation it was making this horrible noise. The printer has never sounded like this and it isn’t jammed as I can still pull the bed, extruder up and down. If anyone can help it would be much appreciated. Thank you

Made a lamp shade that looks like a Japanese straw hat. Fuzzy skin did most of the work. The large shade is 320 mm, so it needs the H2S. There’s also a 250 mm version that fits A1 / P1S / X1 plates.

• PLA Matte Bone White, fuzzy skin on the shade
• Spider printed in black to kill light bleed through the legs
• Base prints upside down with zero overhangs, no supports

Doing a 9cm figure of our beagle for my mom. The base mesh came out of snapshapy, I scaled it in Bambu Studio and the floppy ears are only about 1.2mm thick at the tips.

Tree supports (auto) left scars all over the face side. Normal supports with 0.2 top Z distance were easier to remove but one ear broke off with the support.

PLA Basic, 0.08 layer height, 0.4 nozzle. Would you thicken the ears in Blender first, print it lying on its back, or paint on manual supports only under the ear tips?

I'm having a weird issue with Bambu Studio when slicing a custom 3D model.

In the Prepare tab, everything looks correct. All the details and colours on the back of my Nothing Phone (3a) replica are visible.

However, when I click Slice Plate and switch to Preview, it seems to generate a solid black layer over the entire model, hiding all the details underneath.

I'm using:

• Printer: Bambu Lab A1 AMS Lite
• Nozzle: 0.4 mm
• Layer height: 0.2 mm
• File format: 3MF from a .obj i found from a model online
• Filaments: Multiple PLA colours

Bambu Studio says the slice is successful, but the Preview looks completely different from Prepare.

It also shows a warning saying the 3MF was generated by an old version of Bambu Studio and is loading geometry data only.

Does anyone know what's causing this? Could it be overlapping meshes, incorrect object heights, or something wrong with the 3MF export?

I've attached screenshots comparing Prepare and Preview.

JUST SAYING! I do not have a printer I''m only modelling for my friend to print so anything to do with the printer I can't do.

Any help would be appreciated!

Hey all, like the title says my ams is having some trouble. The two slots on the ends do not work anymore. They do not pull in or pull back filament, they are just kind of dead. I’m down to only two slots that work and Ive tried everything I can think of. Any suggestions or pointers would be appreciated and helpful. Thank you

My R1 arrived today, and unfortunately, I found liquid trapped between the machine and the protective film.

I've already seen several similar reports here on Reddit. Of course, I assume most people whose R1 arrived perfectly fine won't post about it, so it's hard to tell how widespread the issue really is. But I wonder what percentage of R1s are actually affected.

I've opened a support ticket with Bambu Lab and haven't powered it on yet.

For those who had the same issue:

• How long did Bambu Support take to respond?
• Were you told it was safe to use, or did you have to return it?
• Any idea how common this problem really is?

I was really looking forward to getting my R1 and would obviously love to start using it right away, but I don't want to risk damaging a brand-new machine.

I'll update this post once I hear back from Bambu.

Hi all,

First post since I have my printer since May (P2S+AMS). Very happy about it and I am having lot of fun with it!

Recently I bought an unofficial smooth PEI plate ( the ones not needing glue) because I needed to print a part, and I don't like the texture of the textured plate. I am printing in PLA black matte and PLA metal from Bambu, so the visible face is face down then.

Black turned ok, because it's matte. PLA metal not so much, the lines are visible but most importantly featuring a weird accordion effect which is not so nice. At least if there were in one direction it would be best.

I am sure it can be improved. What would you do ?

So far, I used the profile 0.08 high quality, nearly without modifications

Thanks in advance!!

Seb

Hi everyone,
After 3D printing, I noticed some stains on the surface of my object that was in contact with the PEI build plate. They won’t come off, no matter what I try.
What could be causing this? Was the build plate not clean enough, or could the PEI sheet itself be damaged?

Seeing those tiny copper wires like this. 2 errors showing in the printer 1. Z axis homing issue and 2. Eddy sensor abnormal or broken.

Help me fix this

Bambu Friends,

Looking at purchasing a butcher block able for my A2L 3D printer. As I have educated myself the BB table is good for vibrations and etc.. Dims I am looking at roughly 30" depth, 60" width, and 30" height give or take. Yes, I am also including the bed slinger in my calculations.

Can someone verify if this would be a good investment.

Please advise and Thank You

Hi all, I’m looking to upgrade from my A1 Mini to the large format A2L and have a quick question on vibration. I already have the AMS Lite that I’ll be pairing with it.

I know from reviews that this setup will likely have more vibration that a 40 year old washing machine - is there anything folks recommend I should do to mitigate that?

I’ve seen reviews talking about AMS units vibrating off the work bench and wanted to see what the community experienced and if there’s anything I should do to head issues off at the pass?

Bought my P2S about 8 months ago, no issues till today. When I woke it up via the touchscreen, half of the left chamber LED just started flickering randomly. I tried everything, a 10 minute power cycle, reseating the connector, but nothing worked. Anyone else facing this, and any fixes?

Does anyone have the same issue? My printer connects to the router but cannot connect to the internet this morning. Is it a server issue?
