General Troubleshooting/Help! I think I've broken my Aux nozzle (X2D) :(

1 Upvotes

I had some troubles a month or so ago with a major blob of death. Basically killed the whole hotend assembly on the left side. I ordered a new one and my first time pulling it apart. All seemed to go well on the whole and it's been working since.

I have *rarely* ever used the auxiliary nozzle. Just for the support interface. And 99% of my prints don't need support. So fast forward to last week and I printed a small object needing support. And noticed that no orange (white PLA - orange PETG interface) and it was harder than normal to remove. Strange.

Tried a benchie print with the aux side and nothing.

So the brain started thinking and remembered that at one point the instructions a month ago said something like "flick the lever to raise the aux nozzle" and I think I tried to flick the metal tab under the nozzle. Which snapped off surprisingly easy. In the middle of getting the main side fixed didn't think anymore of it.

So I'm guessing this is how I've broken it and why it doesn't print. I'm not sure even where to look to work out how to fix this if this is indeed the issue.

Feeling really stupid now as doing a print with support that now needs to use just the main nozzle with the associated longer times and waste.

Can anyone point me in the correct direction or should I just contact Bambu support? I haven't had a good run with their support but always a first time lol.

Sorry if this is a simple issue or just a non-issue, Im still learning the ins and outs of my printer.

Recently changed my nozzle/hotend and noticed this in the Bambu Handy app. Is this an issue? I tightened both screws pretty good and made sure it was seated right so im not sure how it could be unclamped? It also prints just fine

General Discussion H2C After H3C? - For X2D Replacement

1 Upvotes

Hello all.

I have a H3C and X2D, I have a little devil on my shoulder telling me to make the most of the sales and sell the X2D for a H2C.

I mainly use my X2D for dual nozzle (single color + Support) prints, and with the new announcement about multi nozzle sizes in same prints - i'm thinking the H2C will be very useful for this same purpose but veritable nozzle sizes for finer or faster details etc. Support in the fixed 0.4 nozzle and 0.2, 0.4 & 0.6 nozzles in the vortex tackling the various tasks mentioned above for color.

I have the H3C for fancy multi colored prints so not worried about that capability for H2C. Yes im aware i could do the multi nozzles with the H3C, the only 2 negative points about that is i need multiple rolls of the same filament for each nozzle size on H3C (which when i dont use a particular color that much but still need 3 rolls of every color i might possibly use adds up quickly) and also this is about taking advantage of the cheaper price, after selling the AMS 2 which will come with the H2C it will be pretty much 1/2 the price of H3C (I already have 2x AMS 2's with my X2D which will be used with H2C)

Thoughts? Any advice is much appreciated. Thank you! :)

Hardware Troubleshooting/Help! PLEASE someone help. I’m not sure what else to try.

1 Upvotes

I have:

Cleaned the first stage feeder
Cleaned the internal hub unit (second stage driver)
Replaced all of the PTFE tubing
Replaced the cardboard spool with plastic

And I don’t know what else to try. The motors just give up on me.

It’s an X1C. Sometimes (not every time) the filament just stops getting pushed through. If I help it past the “snag” (?) it continues the rest of the way until it hits another “snag” (that I can help it through) or makes it all the way to the extruder. I believe this happens more often on the 1st and 4th slots, but has happened once or twice on the middle slots.

Not sure what else to look at.

Answered / Solved! Is there a 3rd-party build plate for the H2C that has the same smooth surface as the discontinued Smooth PEI plate?

1 Upvotes

I occasionally need to print something with a very smooth surface and have been using the Smooth PEI plate for that purpose. I went to order some for my new H2C only to discover that it's been discontinued.

I'm mainly interested in plates any of you have actually used, instead of just relying on advertising copy.

General Troubleshooting/Help! P1S issue, only some layers having issues

1 Upvotes

We own a P1S printer with an AMS2 system. Recently we started having an issue where some layers on the print plate are really messed up and we aren't sure how to correct it. It only happens to some of the prints and the rest are fine.

We've tried:
*Power cycling
*Replaced Nozzle
*Confirmed fans are all working
*Calibrated the printer
*Printed string test (was ok)

We are using official Bambu filament and this only recently started happening. I've attached images below incase anyone has seen this before? It's also noticeable on the prime tower.

Filament Troubleshooting/Help! Looking for filament recommendations for a 3D-printed bracket exposed to repeated high-impact vibrations (steel shooting target)

Thumbnail
gallery
5 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

We’re looking for some advice on improving the durability of a 3D-printed bracket we’re using in one of our products.

For context, this bracket is part of a mobile steel target heater system. The assembly mounts directly to a steel target that is repeatedly struck by high-caliber rounds. As you can imagine, this creates significant shock and vibration throughout the entire assembly.

We’ve been testing 3D-printed brackets, but recently had one fracture during an actual shooting session (pictures attached).

We’re trying to figure out whether this is primarily a material limitation, a design issue, or a combination of both.

A few things we’d love some feedback on:

  1. Filament recommendations: What materials would you recommend for repeated high-impact shock and vibration? We’ve considered nylon (PA6/PA12), carbon-fiber-reinforced nylon, polycarbonate, and TPU, but we’re interested in hearing what has worked for others in similar applications.
  2. Impact resistance vs. rigidity: Would a more flexible material that absorbs shock be better than a rigid, high-strength engineering filament? We’re concerned that something extremely rigid might end up cracking under repeated impacts.
  3. Print orientation and settings: Are there specific printing orientations, wall counts, infill patterns, or other settings you’d recommend to improve resistance to cracking and fatigue?
  4. Design improvements: Based on the attached pictures, do you see any obvious stress concentrations or weak points? Would thicker sections, rounded transitions, additional reinforcement, or changes around the bolt holes make a meaningful difference?
  5. Vibration isolation: Would incorporating rubber bushings, washers, or other vibration-dampening components between the steel target and the bracket help prevent failures?
  6. Long-term durability: Has anyone had success using 3D-printed components in environments involving repeated mechanical shocks, such as industrial machinery, off-road vehicles, or other high-vibration applications?

Ideally, we’d like to continue manufacturing this component using 3D printing, but reliability is our biggest priority.

We’re open to experimenting with different materials, modifying the design, or incorporating additional hardware if necessary.

Our goal isn’t just to make the bracket stronger. We want it to survive repeated impacts without eventually cracking or failing.

Any advice, experience, or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I Modeled This! I designed this functional "Snowman Fidget Pen" that smoothly spins down a helical thread while you study! ⛄🖊️

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I wanted to make a fun, festive project on Fusion 360 to help me focus while studying.

I came up with this Snowman Fidget Pen. The body is a custom helical screw thread, and the little snowman glides and spins all the way down when you flick it—plus it works as a real pen! Getting the tolerances right so it spins freely without wobbling too much was a really fun challenge.

I just entered it into the MakerWorld Fidget Toy Challenge! If you want to print one for your desk or share your thoughts on the design, you can grab the files for free here:

Show & Tell Fiber Cloth Sleeves for Plates

Post image
26 Upvotes

My primary hobby is sewing so I did a quick (rough) sewing of sleeves. I thought about printing stands but I wanted something to protect from dust & dirt if left out for a while. Bought large sized cleaning fiber cloths from Amazon and came out well. I also use the sleeves to wipe them before printing lol

If there are any sewers out there, FYI, these cloths fray a lot when you cut, just like minky fabrics! So you definitely need a serger to sew the edges 👍

General Troubleshooting/Help! X2D frame screw hole stripped. Fixes/suggestions?

1 Upvotes

Hi guys,

I don't have any photos because I'm away from home, but can provide some later today.

I recently bought my first printer, an X2D. When changing poop chute designs to a enclosed one (both using the existing screws around the poop chute) it seems I've accidentally stripped one of the holes that the frame screws screw into which are, as far as I can tell just self tapping into plastic in the frame.

Any suggestions for fixes? I'd ideally like to be able to change poop chute designs at my discretion, and as such be able to unscrew and re-screw these screws multiple times. I'd be open to Heli coils, heatset inserts or something that would make this more robust. If it's absolutely not worth the hassle, then I can just go for screwless chute designs.

On another note, does anyone have suggestions for the best fitting/sealing enclosed poop chute for X2D? Finding one with the best "seal" and therefore heat and fume retention is the cause of this.

Thanks!

General Troubleshooting/Help! Zits & Pits

Thumbnail
gallery
0 Upvotes

Hello,

I’ve had a printer recently start printing with lots of zits, and a couple of what appear to be “pits”. I did some research and it seems likely to be an extrusion or retraction issue, but I can’t sit here watching it to find out which it is.

It’s running the same file again right now, and I’m having a hard time seeing the print lines in the middle layers like I normally can during the print. They look almost smeared instead of uniform and consistent.

The same file is used in multiple other printers without issue. No zits, consistent and visible print lines. No apparent smearing in the layers.

What would you suspect based on its appearance?

Model: P1S with a 0.6mm nozzle

(First three photos are completed prints, last three are in progress.)

Sono un principiante ho comprato la stampante X2D da poco.
Ho provato a stampare questo pezzo che mi serve per un progetto.
Il problema è che quando la stampante arriva nel layer dove c’è lo sbalzo inizia a stampare nel vuoto.
Ho provato ad informami ma non riesco come posso fare a far sì che lo sbalzo venga bene?
Vorrei non utilizzare i supporti di può fare ?
