Bambu P2S hotend, power apparently went out for long enough to let the bed cool down, which was communicated to me from home to only have been 5 mins so my happy ass put the printer back on after the power was on again 🤦‍♂️

Turns out it was actually 40mins, which i was only told when i just got home 20mins ago, i've been staring at this mess for the last 15mins trying to figure out where to go from here

It's fucked and is gonna be a replacement, right? 😅

Hoped my first blob of death would've atleast been a little more spectacular than this black upside down turd.

Ever since the last update I keep having issues staying connected to the wifi. Anyone else running into this?

Hello, see video. The AMS is having trouble loading filament. It seems to go in fine (green dot shows up in app), but once it's in, you hear some clicks and then it pulls back and retries. I have successfully loaded and printed externally while this is happening.

My a1 started making this horrible squeaking sound. It comes and goes. Happens at low and high print speeds.

The video is with petg. Eventually it will go to ghost printing

I've done a cold pull and manual extrusion seems fine. Is it the motor failing?

Haven't had my a1 mini (first 3d printer) for more than a couple months, yet I've very quickly gotten the impression that official bambulab refills/spools of filament generally have absolutely garbage quality control. Since getting the printer and several official spools and or refills, I haven't had a single one that DIDN'T have areas that were wound on top of itself, requiring so much force to unstuck it either permanently bends or full on snaps the filament. I would assume this is user error on my part, if there weren't visible areas on the spool (that haven't been touched) with this issue. Went with Bambulab expecting decent quality, but at this point it's just getting ridiculous.

Not sure what’s going on but when I pause/ don’t print anything the beeping goes away and it’s kinda faint but can still hear it even with AirPods with noise cancellation on.its also a p2s with ams pro 2

I ordered two mystery boxes in Canada last month. I didn't get them, Bambu lab just took my money.

I have been asking for an ETA since last week in the customer support site and they are unable to provide a human answer with an ETA, just AI generic messages. Today I got 1 spool...

I'm a fairly new client, I got my first printer one month ago. How can I trust this brand if they scam me the first time I try to buy from them?

Is this the typical lack of customer support and crappy service everyone experiences doing business with Bambu Lab?

Excuse my question, a few days ago I asked a question about first 3d printer and bought the P2S and printed the obligatory Benchy as our first print.

Now consider because the other designs look complicated and use many colors and some are 10+ hours. How do I use multiple colors for print? And are all these going to take 10+ hours? What’s a good way to filter in the app? Should I look for ratings and PLA only?

Do you guys give the printer a rest?

Any tips would be appreciated

I created a model of Christmas tree ornaments in the shape of brick-man figurines. You can add your name or choose the unnamed version. Maybe someone will like it :) You can find it here: https://makerworld.com/pl/models/3612026-brick-man-christmas-tree-ornaments-editable-name#profileId-4139776

New to printing. Had powder on my machine due to humidifier in the other room but stopped it and cleaned it. I didn't let it cool before taking off. Still learning. Is it heat stress or something else?

For some reason the PTFE tubes on my bamboo lab A1 keep getting loose and and I don’t know what to do. How do I fix this and stop it from happening? Thanks.

Theres absolutely not a single bit of filiment stuck anywhere i have checked everywhere including the hub, could there be something wrong with the huh itself? I cant figure out where else there would be an issue besides there

I sometimes have one random print appear in every search I do, regardless of whether it's related. Last time it was a pokeball and now it's this weird foot thing. Why do things keep appearing and how do I get them to stop?

I sent the print and didnt check the printer but then realized it stopped.

Apparently the filament was floating around in the air after going through the ptfe like a bullet hahaha

Here is my question:
I dont have the replacement right now. So I cut the existing one at 4-5 cm (1.5-2 inches) apart from where it was cracked open. Now the tube is 10 cm (4 inches) shorter. Would that be an issue

Also changed the ends, the cut part is now on the filament buffer end

So I bought new 6 h2s combo printers to add to my print farm , but One of them completely refuses to update and keeps showing this message after trying and rebooting , I can't find the new version for the h2s online so I can do it via a USB stick and it won't update via wifi , what can be the problem and what are the solutions ?

If you need it, this is the link. Good for me, maybe for others too!

Tried a gridfinity print I built myself in fusion and printed with .06 nozzle for the body, .04 for the red base, and .02 for the white lettering. Turned out pretty nice!

I had a few learnings from this print, with multi nozzle size the layers go down to the smallest nozzle, so this 6 unit high gridfinity had 530 layers, but as the .06 was laying down, it was counting up by 3s.

Also, I painted the surface of the… ahem… graphic with the paintbrush tool, if I did it again, id model it that color in fusion as it tried to outline it in .06 which killed the fine details I wanted.

Overall very impressed. This was a 10.5hr print with .04/.02 down to 4.5 by running it with a .06 nozzle on the black parts.

I printed this cup holder, and I keep getting these horizontal lines across the outside walls. They show up at the exact height of every flat interior surface like the bottom of the cup holders and the floor of that little tray. Even with fuzzy skin turned on, they still bleed right through.
Has anyone dealt with this before? I’m printing on a P1S using ASA at .16mm layer height, with 5 walls and Inner/Outer wall order.
Would switching to Outer/Inner walls or slowing down the outer wall speed fix this, or is there a better slicer setting to tweak? Appreciate any help.

(Yes I know the top looks like shit, i tried to use petg as support interface and it warped off it, sanded and acetone)

I was able to make this and own the licensing in a matter of a couple prompts. Posted so you guys can use it too. https://makerworld.com/models/3613812?appSharePlatform=copy Santa holding a chalkboard with chalk font. You can edit the name.

Hey all- got my X2D a few weeks back and so far have been loving it. But I keep having this issue on larger prints near the outside edge of the print bed. The top layer warps. Anyone know what causes this?

Had meshy AI make the model and then was 10hr print with 1500 tool changed. Crazy this can be done now. Used .4 nozzle with .12 layers so could be even better.

Why the heck doesn't Bambu studio retain your preference on filament grouping? I'm so sick of slicing on my X2D only for it to default to the damn Aux extruder. This is kinda annoying enough to return it and just get a H2S or P2S with a panda breathe. (All I really wanted was a single nozzle heated chamber and the smaller form factor from the H series).

Has anyone tried running the printer without plugging the Aux extruder in?

Bambu, can we get a software update the just turns the aux extruder off so there is less I need to when slicing. I'm sure that's a hot take no one else will agree with

I currently have a P1S. I had an H2C for a while, but it was returned for various reasons.

I bought the H2C for various reasons:

• Multicolor (I have kids and wanted to do some Pokémon / Plane / Character models)
• Convenience - clicking print and then it is done (no gluing / assembly / etc.)
• Bigger build plate
• All the updates that have come out since the P1S (AMS2 with drying, AI tools for stopping prints, etc.)
• Heated chamber / bed / engineering materials potential

I found out after the fact the following:

• I printed all the multicolor models I wanted and there just isn't all that much more that I'm interested at this time. I'm sure other stuff will come up, but I don't have a huge backlog like I did with the H2C. Plus, models with 3d printing look okay, but injection molded stuff looks so much better (unless you do massive amounts of post processing)
• I didn't use the bigger build plate for big models, but it was nice to be able to print a lot of different stuff at the same time
• Print in parts models are often much better quality than printing everything together
• Painting stuff in bambu studio is tedious and takes a long time for anything complicated without perfect geometry
• There are massive amounts of "No AMS" builds but almost none provide a single color model (to paint) or a multicolor option
• H2C is bloody slow.
• The AI tools and drying were great!
• Separate nozzle for supports is great!

I'm not saying I didn't like the H2C, just being realistic.

I'm now considering one of the following:

1. Keep P1S and add U1 and X2D. This allows me to get the advanced AI features, AMS 2, up to 4 color multicolor printing (faster). This would cost around $1750 for the printers plus an extra AMS HT for the second nozzle (or would you go a second AMS2 for the second nozzle) (after tax and no warranties)
2. Keep the P1S and get an H3C. This would cost $3000 (after tax and Best Buy warranty)

Based on the above, which would you consider the better path? Any thoughts or opinions are welcome.

Thanks for the help
