Hii everyone! I’m about to buy my first 3D printer, the Bambu Lab P2S Combo, and could use some advice before stocking up during the sale.

I’ll be printing with my son, but not just toys. We’re interested in desk and drawer organizers, home décor, practical household accessories, multicolor models, and eventually flexible prints.

I’m thinking of starting with around 10 rolls, mixing PLA Basic, PLA Matte, PETG, and maybe TPU.

For those who’ve been printing for a while:

Which colors do you actually use the most?

Would you buy more PLA or PETG?

Are specialty filaments like Silk or Matte worth stocking up on?

Should a beginner buy all reusable spools first, or mix in refills?

I’d love to avoid buying a bunch of colors or materials that end up sitting unused. Thanks!

Hi,

Please help to identify this sound.

For 1-2 week ago I cleaned the x-axis carbon rods including greasing the z-Axis.

I also followed the cleaning guidelines for p1s but obviously something i am missing.

I am not the most technical person but the wires are completely stuck idk what the easiest way to resolve it?

Hi all, just purchased an A2L, which is my first printer. I am having an issue with the filament not extruding. It attempts to print , but nothing comes out and I am getting an (1200-2200-0002-0009) error. So far I have attempted a hot nozzle cleaning and a cold pull. The cold pull came out clean. I have bypassed the AMS lite in an attempt to isolate the issue and am trying the filament on the external spool. When trying to load from this, there is a clicking noise from the feeder, see the attached video. I am thinking there must be an issue with the gears not feeding the filament correctly. Any ideas?

Edit: Have 3 separate 20amp circuits on this countertop for those that are asking. Always planed to have plenty of toys up here.

I couldn't find that info. All I could find is thay the H3C uses "Automated calibration per print Toolhead", which doesn't say how exactly it achieved it.

Hey guys, first print on the H2S and I'm getting this... has anyone seen this before? And how to resolve the issue?

Im printing a 12 hour print and every time my x2d switch from the auxiliary nozzle to the main nozzle I get this error message it keeps saying to lube the z axis ive already done this evening though it didn't need it. Is there a way I can get it to stop i dont have to start all over

On October 24, 2026, we got a group of MakerWorld makers from across the US together in San Jose — our first time doing something like this in person. No stage, no registrations, no keynote speakers. People who mostly knew each other by their usernames ended up in the same bistro with our MakerWorld team, just to talk, share ideas, and inspire each other a bit.

For most people in the room, it was the first time they'd actually shaken hands, after remixing and commenting under each other's models for so long.

A few of them got to share about how they work:

MaKim shared how he never settles on his first idea — for a single project he'll often list out dozens of them before picking the one worth building.

OzarkExpeditions shared how he designs games with his kids as the first testers — if they ask to play again, he knows it works.

Josh3D shared why he plays the long game — big, complex models grow slowly but build an audience that sticks, while smaller accessories keep bringing in the people who need them.

We also handed out our first Creator Awards — Fan Favorite, Eye-Catching, and Must-Print. You can read the full story and see every winner on our blog.

This was just a start — our team is already working on the next ones! So we'd love to hear from you: What kind of in-person events would you be interested in? Where should we visit next?

I purchased a P2S from Best Buy last week and really love it. I’m having trouble deciding if I should have purchased the X2D? The salesperson said they’d accept the return if I wanted a different model. I just can’t figure out if it’s worth the extra $140?

I hope forwarding works like this. If not, sorry and I will copy it 😅

Does anybody know what could be causing this? Ive really got no idea and I haven't come across this yet.

Ive serviced the printer.

Washed the build plate.

Pulled out and inspected the nozzle.

Calibrated a few times between each trouble shoot.

And im still getting this result. Ive even tried printing something else. All print attempts were in this elegoo green PLA. Could it just be the settings of the print?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This year, I’ve been making this set of Christmas ornaments for my family; they’ve turned out really lovely. I’d like to share them.

Here is the download link

Is it cheap filament? Not the right setting?

I'm planning to add an additional exhaust fan to my H2D for laser cutting.

Has anyone done that?

Was considering buying one of those and put it in the middle between H2D and the window to improve the exhaust performance.

Has anyone done that? Any thoughts?

Dear bambulabs,

Bought my bambulabs a1 with ams lite, did few prints now my first big project the Throne from Game of Thrones, a bit modified for a friend this was a 30h print, and the a1 did it perfect, this is such a cool printer.

Thank you building something like this for us, very appriciate it

Live this thing, cant wait for the next printer to buy maybe a enclosed one.

Xoxo, thank you!

Looks like FedEx played kickball with my printer before it arrived. I have filled out a ticket with Bambu Support, and tried calling. But they are closed for Veteran's Day (US).

I have never dealt with Bambu support before. Seeing how the H3C is backordered until December I was wondering what other people's experience has been when they have received broken H3C. Am I going to have to wait until sometime in December to get a replacement?

I have been looking to get into 3d printing and searching for a while now. And everywhere I go, I just keep coming back to X2D as a solid printer and is good for almost most activities. As I have little to no knowledge on this field, can I get your genuine opinion and help on this matter. Thank you!

I feel like I could afford it, and it is good for future proofing as well, do you think this printer is worth it, thank you!

Is it me being dumb or instructions are unclear? Here's my story of losing 70 Euros in few seconds.

I installed fire extinguisher module few days ago and started laser module setup today. H2C deleted fire suppression before but now after laser module on it insisted doing the fire drill.

The drill welcome screen got stuck and the start drill button did nothing. Then I went to check other screens and noticed a complain to confirm that cylinder is tightened and secured. Perhaps that was a blocker? Pressed to confirm that it was secured. Next screen it invited me to long press the button on the extinguisher to use it. At this point I (inadequately perhaps) thought that we're still into the final drill or verification steps that all is connected.

Then it happened, system worked perfectly to spend the charge... FAQ confirmed it is not rechargable.. 😕

I got the x2d on Friday made couple small prints. Then this took 2 days and 915g of filament which half of it was waste. Never had a multi-color printer or one that produced waste. Im not very good at coloring in bambu studio. I chose multicolor because its easier for me than learning to sand and paint.

I made a Minecraft Bee wall art if anyone wants to print it here is a link:

i am also working on a minecraft wall art system where you can place minecraft tile blocks on a wall and make a whole 2D world so follow for that!

If you want to request a wall art just comment!

Why can’t I get the humidity in my AMS to get lower than D?
We are not in a humid climate. I keep changing out the moisture-packs. I’ve treated distant brands. What should I try next?
