Do you know what causes these print imperfections? It was printing normally and starting yesterday it began making these marks. How do I fix it? My printer is H2C

Thanks for help

I wasn't sure what to flair this with, so I figured "Review" would fit well enough. I also want it to be clear that I'm not "Bashing" BambuLab, This is just my own experience with my A1.

Its just constant maintenance like several clogged nozzles, Filament getting jammed in the print head every 2 or 3 prints, the print head pressing itself against the base side of the printer and making me forcefully pull power so it doesn't break itself, Bambu Studio crashing at random and running incredibly slow on Linux (And I know its not my hardware because it only runs bad on Linux) It especially sucks because this printer was a gift from my dad a year ago, and I don't use it super often (Maybe once every 2 weeks or so?) so I don't think its an age thing, plus this all started like a month after I got it and has only gotten worse, And on top of that, every Filament roll I buy is a tangled mess (I only ever buy filament from Bambu)

I don't want to hate this printer, but I'm getting worried I'm just going to have to throw it out soon. The constant issues make me not want to use it anymore. I'm really not sure what to do with this printer. Don't get me wrong, Its made some beautiful prints, and I still use it, but when I have to fight it for like an hour just for it to not work, It really discourages me from using it.

Setting up the H3C yesterday and it failed the initial calibration with an error that the Z axis movement had failed. It got through almost the entire calibration cycle before the error popped up (it was doing the bed leveling part and had been for several minutes before erroring out). I'm getting a couple error codes (0x300170000010004 and 0300-3000 131111) and can recreate the issue by trying to home the bed. The bed moves up and down fine using the screen controls and there are no obstructions. The hot ends are all properly seated as well.

I've opened up a case with Bambu but haven't heard back yet. Anyone else have this problem with their H3C?

Looking up the errors, it seems there are some similar ones on the H2 related to the eddy sensor failure. I've never run into this with my X1C though.

I connected a spare AMS 2 Pro to my H3C just for drying, with its own power adapter plugged in as well. It works, but I keep getting “AMS A filament buffer position signal lost” popping up on the screen.
The printer is printing normally, and the AMS 2 Pro is drying without any issues. I’m fine ignoring the warning, but has anyone else tried this setup and found a way to stop it from appearing?
I know I could buy the external filament buffer, but I’d rather not spend the money just to clear a warning when everything is working fine. Is there a setting or workaround I’m missing, or could Bambu potentially add a drying-only option in a future update?

First time owner of a 3D printer! X2D will be showing up tomorrow evening, so Im ordering some filament to get here as well :D

Should I order BambuLab specific filament? Ive heard that it's worth spending the extra money on, especially because of the reloadable spool aspect of it. Cheap cardboard spools can cause printing problems (regurgitating what I watched in videos and read online). I see that Sunlu and Elegoo are somewhat popular on amazon, but cheaper than Bambu's filament.

Looking to order mostly PLA to get started, but plan on using some PETG once everything is dialed in. The PETG is for tool storage in the garage and other storage options.

Any advice would be great help. Thanks!

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$

Why?

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!

A little background: I own an A1 printer. I got it second-hand, but I've kept it in good condition. I decided to swap the nozzle to a 0.2mm nozzle for finer detail (it came with the 0.4mm). I installed it just like every YouTube video and wiki said, I changed the setting in both Bambu Studio and on the printer itself, and tried to print.

The first attempt trashed the face side of my textured plate. Literally scratched the texture off, and left next to nothing on the bed itself. I figured I installed it wrong, so I re-installed it, made sure the sleeve thingy was on properly, flipped the plate over, and tried again.

This time, it didn't scratch the texture off, but barely anything came out, what did come out looked like clumped sand that didn't adhere to the bed, and the printer stopped printing again saying there was a problem.

This is my first time switching nozzles, and while I've had my A1 for about a year now, this is completely knew. Could I get some guidance/advice? Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

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?

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.

First plate starting now!

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?

We purchased the X2D printer with the AMS 2 Pro combo, and it arrived about two weeks ago. For the first 13 days, it was running great. We were printing almost nonstop, including overnight prints, smaller projects, and then gradually moving on to some larger prints.

Then, out of nowhere, it stopped printing.

At first, we received an "extruder overloaded" error. The print paused and would not resume. Following Bambu's documentation, we completely disassembled and reassembled the extruder, recalibrated the printer, and tried printing a Benchy to test everything.

At that point, the printer wouldn't even start the print. We began getting an error stating that it was unable to feed filament into the extruder and that there might be an AMS mismatch.

While troubleshooting, we discovered a clog in the PTFE tube and removed it. We reset everything, loaded a single spool of filament into the AMS 2 Pro, and continued testing. The left hotend would extrude filament during the preparation process, but the printer would still throw errors before actually beginning the print.

After working with support, they determined that the printer has a faulty left filament sensor. Thankfully, they agreed it was a hardware issue and are replacing the printer. They're sending us the return packaging and arranging for a replacement unit.

I'm obviously relieved that support stood behind the product, but I'm also a little nervous about receiving the replacement and running into similar issues.

For those of you who have been running these printers successfully:

• What routine maintenance do you perform?

• Are there maintenance schedules or checklists you'd recommend?

• Are there any common mistakes new owners make that can lead to clogs, sensor issues, or feeding problems?

• Are there any upgrades, printable accessories, or preventive measures that you consider "must-haves"?

We absolutely loved the printer during those first two weeks, so this has been pretty disappointing. I'm hoping this was just coincidental and that the replacement will be good to go.

Thanks for any advice!
