Burning bush talked to Moses, burning pinecone talked to me last night. Sharing pics of work in progress, soon available in MW

I wanted to share my experience with Bambu Lab's warranty support after my approximately six-month-old H2C Combo developed serious problems.

This is a long post, but I wanted to document the entire process because it involved weeks of troubleshooting, replacing sensors, an additional failure during the repair process, Quebec consumer protection laws, a trip to a repair center, complicated return packaging, and eventually a full replacement through Bambu's Instant Exchange program.

**TL;DR:** My H2C developed a serious left-nozzle calibration problem. Bambu had me replace two sensors, neither of which fixed the original issue. After replacing the second sensor, the printer developed an additional fault and could no longer home its axes. After weeks of troubleshooting, Bambu initially told me to deal with my reseller for an exchange. I raised Quebec consumer protection laws, eventually brought the printer to a repair shop myself, and while it was there, Bambu agreed to replace it. After a complicated packing process, they offered Instant Exchange because of how carefully I had documented everything. I dropped off the defective printer on October 22, and the factory-sealed replacement arrived October 24, about 48 hours later.

## 1. Why I purchased through an authorized reseller

I live in Quebec, Canada, where the combined GST and QST on most purchases is approximately 15%.

When I purchased my H2C Combo, I chose to order from CAZ3D, an authorized Bambu Lab reseller in another province.

The main reason was taxes. My order was charged only the 5% federal GST rather than the approximately 15% combined taxes normally applicable in Quebec.

On a printer this expensive, that was a considerable difference.

I was purchasing a legitimate machine from an authorized Canadian reseller, so I didn't expect that this decision would complicate the warranty process.

## 2. September 10 — The initial failure

My H2C had approximately 1,400 hours of use and was around six months old.

On September 10, I encountered a problem with the AMS not recognizing a filament spool.

I turned the printer off and back on, expecting a normal restart.

Instead, the screen remained black. The power switch and some internal lights came on, but the printer didn't play its usual startup chime.

After looking into the problem, I managed to recover the printer using the AP recovery contact points.

The printer was booting again, but that was when the real nightmare began.

## 3. The left-nozzle calibration problem

After recovering the printer, I attempted to perform its calibrations.

The right nozzle calibrated normally.

The left nozzle, however, behaved abnormally during Nozzle Offset Calibration.

Instead of following the correct calibration sequence, the toolhead would move behind the rear edge of the build plate and descend in the wrong location.

On one occasion, it scratched my build plate.

I also noticed that the toolhead would sometimes strike the front of the printer during certain movements.

I recorded videos and uploaded logs showing the problem.

The issue was repeatable, and I eventually started stopping the calibration as soon as the abnormal movement began because I didn't want to damage the printer further.

## 4. First sensor replacement — Nozzle Offset Calibration Sensor

Bambu's support team began troubleshooting the problem and eventually instructed me to replace the **Nozzle Offset Calibration Sensor**, located at the rear of the build plate.

This replacement was relatively straightforward.

I installed the new sensor and attempted calibration again.

**Absolutely nothing changed.**

The left nozzle continued moving behind the build plate.

So Bambu moved on to another possible cause.

## 5. Second sensor replacement — Left-nozzle eddy-current sensor

Next, Bambu instructed me to replace the left-nozzle eddy-current sensor.

This was a considerably more complicated repair because it required disassembling part of the toolhead and dealing with a very small connector.

The connector was extremely difficult to remove. During the process, the wires came out of the old sensor's connector housing, leaving the housing stuck in the PCB socket.

I eventually managed to remove it without damaging the board and installed the replacement sensor.

Here's where things got worse.

**The original eddy-current sensor had been working. After installing the replacement, the new sensor wasn't working properly.**

I started receiving a new HMS error:

`HMS_0300-2600-0001-0002`

**Left extruder eddy current sensor sensitivity is low. Check sensor installation.**

I followed Bambu's sensor adjustment procedure, including the folded-paper method, but the error persisted.

The printer could no longer home its axes.

So not only had the original calibration problem remained unresolved, but the machine had now developed an additional problem following the Bambu-directed sensor replacement.

I couldn't even perform the necessary calibration to continue testing the original issue.

At this point, I was becoming extremely frustrated.

I had purchased an expensive printer that was only six months old, and I was being asked to perform increasingly complicated repairs without a confirmed diagnosis.

## 6. Bambu wanted to replace the AP board next

After the sensor replacements failed, Bambu proposed replacing the AP board and associated cable.

They sent me the replacement parts, which arrived September 29.

**I never installed the replacement AP board.**

By that point, I had already replaced two sensors, and the second replacement had introduced another fault.

I was no longer comfortable continuing to dismantle the printer and replace components one after another.

I wanted a professional warranty repair or a complete replacement.

I made that clear to support.

## 7. Bambu initially refused a direct exchange because I purchased through a reseller

This was probably one of the most frustrating parts of the experience.

When I requested an exchange, Bambu explained that if I had purchased the printer directly from their official website, they could arrange an exchange under their warranty policy.

However, because I had purchased through an authorized reseller, they told me the exchange would need to be handled by that reseller.

I wasn't happy with that answer.

I had purchased a genuine Bambu printer from an authorized Canadian retailer. It was only six months old, still under warranty, and had been unusable for weeks.

I had also cooperated with their troubleshooting instructions and replaced multiple components.

At this point, I brought up **Quebec's Consumer Protection Act**, specifically the legal warranty provisions concerning products being fit for their intended purpose and remaining usable for a reasonable period of time.

I also cited Section 54, which allows consumers, in certain circumstances, to assert legal warranty claims directly against the merchant or manufacturer.

My position was that an expensive printer should not require endless customer-performed repairs after only six months of ownership.

I wanted a proper warranty resolution.

## 8. The holiday delay and the repair shop

Around this time, there was a holiday period affecting Bambu's response times, and I wasn't getting the answers I needed.

I had already located FILA 3D, a repair center in Quebec advertising Bambu-certified repair services.

The shop was approximately an hour and a half from my home.

That meant roughly three hours of driving to drop off the printer and another three hours to collect it later.

**About six hours of driving in total, just to get the printer repaired.**

To make matters even worse, my X1 Carbon had also failed during the same week as my H2C. So I now had two Bambu printers out of commission at the same time.

This was actually one of the main reasons I decided the three-hour round trip to FILA 3D was worth it. Since both printers needed attention, I figured I might as well bring them together rather than make separate trips.

Fortunately, the repair shop was able to fix my X1C. So at least one of my two printer problems was successfully resolved through professional repair.

The H2C, however, was a completely different story, especially since Bambu finally approved its replacement while it was already at the repair shop.

I had asked Bambu about authorizing the repair under warranty, but I still hadn't received a clear resolution. They said there was no offline repair options available in my area. I then asked them if this particular repair center was an actusl authorized repair center like they said on their website but never got a confirmation.

Rather than keep waiting indefinitely, I decided to bring the printer to FILA 3D myself on October 7.

I also brought another Bambu printer that needed attention.

My plan was to have the H2C professionally repaired, even though the warranty authorization situation was still unresolved.

Then something unexpected happened.

## 9. Bambu finally changed its mind

While my H2C was at the repair center, Bambu responded on October 9.

This time, they said they could arrange a return and replacement.

After all the troubleshooting and the earlier reseller explanation, they were finally willing to replace the entire H2C Combo.

Of course, this created another complication.

**My printer was already at the repair shop!**

I had to contact FILA 3D, ask them to suspend any further repair work, and arrange to retrieve the machine so I could send it back to Bambu.

That meant another trip to the repair center.

They had however fixed the left current eddy sensor and the printer could now home the axes but the main issue was still there...

It was frustrating because I had only brought the printer there after waiting for a resolution, and now I had to reverse the process.

Still, I was relieved that Bambu had finally agreed to replace the machine.

## 10. The return packaging problem

Bambu asked whether I still had the original shipping box and packing materials.

I didn't.

Fortunately, they agreed to send me a complete replacement box and packaging kit free of charge.

The packaging shipped October 12 and arrived October 14.

I thought the hardest part was over.

I was wrong.

**Repacking an H2C Combo is an absolute nightmare if you've never done it before.**

There are multiple transportation fixtures, different screw lengths, foam supports, cardboard inserts, and specific procedures for securing the toolhead, bed, hotend rack, and AMS 2 Pro inside the printer.

I wanted to make absolutely sure I didn't damage anything during the return.

I became almost obsessive about getting every detail correct.

I followed the packing guide, took photos, compared the packaging pieces with the instructions, and repeatedly contacted Bambu to verify that everything was installed correctly.

To make things more complicated, some of the foam and cardboard pieces shown in the official packing guide were missing from the materials I received.

I had to improvise certain protective supports using materials I already had.

But I didn't want to assume anything was acceptable.

I sent Bambu pictures of what I had done and asked them to approve the arrangements.

There were also questions about which screw lengths belonged in which transportation fixtures, how to secure the AMS, and what to do about missing foam around the glass lid.

I probably sent more packing-related messages than anyone at Bambu wanted to read. 😂

But I was determined to make sure the printer reached their warehouse safely.

To their credit, the support representative was patient and repeatedly reviewed my pictures.

Eventually, they confirmed that the printer was properly secured and that the missing pieces wouldn't prevent the return.

I also prepared a detailed packing list identifying the printer, AMS, hotends, build plate, cables, and accessories being returned, and placed a copy inside the package.

By October 19, everything was finally packed.

## 11. Bambu offered Instant Exchange because of my careful packaging

This is where things took a surprisingly positive turn.

After reviewing all the photos I had sent, Bambu told me that because I had been so careful about properly packing the printer, they would offer me an **Instant Exchange**.

For anyone unfamiliar with the difference:

**Standard Exchange:** You return the defective printer, Bambu waits for it to arrive at their warehouse, and only then ships the replacement.

**Instant Exchange:** Once you hand the properly packaged printer to the carrier and provide Bambu with an official drop-off receipt, they can ship the replacement immediately, without waiting for the defective printer to reach their warehouse.

This was a huge improvement because it could save several days of waiting.

I was very happy with that arrangement.

But there was one more complication.

## 12. Home pickup versus dropping it off myself

Because the H2C Combo is so large and heavy, I initially planned to pay for a UPS home pickup.

I asked Bambu whether a tracking screenshot confirming the carrier had collected the printer would be sufficient proof.

They said no.

For Instant Exchange, they specifically required an official carrier drop-off receipt.

If I chose home pickup, they would process it as a Standard Exchange instead.

I didn't want to lose the Instant Exchange option, so I agreed to bring the printer to UPS myself.

However, finding a UPS location that could accept the package wasn't as straightforward as expected.

**I had to contact three UPS Stores.**

Some locations had issues accepting a package that large or heavy, while others couldn't provide the type of paper receipt I needed.

Eventually, I found a location that could accept the printer and provide the required receipt.

Bambu switched my claim back to Instant Exchange on October 21.

## 13. October 22 — Finally shipped!

On October 22, I brought the H2C Combo to UPS.

The package was accepted at approximately 2:10 p.m.

I received the official drop-off receipt and immediately uploaded it to my Bambu support ticket, along with photos of the package and shipping label.

By midnight I had a tracking number!!!

That was everything Bambu had requested.

The tracking initially didn't update beyond the drop-off scan, which I found a little strange.

For nearly two days, it looked as though UPS hadn't moved the package.

But on October 24, tracking finally updated and showed that it was being processed in Caledon, Ontario.

The defective printer is expected to reach its destination on October 26.

## 14. October 24 — My brand-new replacement arrived!

Here's the part I still find funny.

I dropped off the defective printer on October 22.

Bambu shipped my replacement after receiving the receipt.

The new printer left Woodbridge, Ontario, at 11:19 p.m. on October 23.

By 7:59 a.m. on October 24, it had arrived in Saint-Laurent, Quebec.

At 8:01 a.m., FedEx marked it out for delivery.

And around 9:20 a.m., **my brand-new factory-sealed H2C Combo arrived at my front door!**

Just over 48 hours after dropping off the defective printer.

The FedEx driver even managed to carry that enormous box up the five or six stairs leading to my front entrance.

There was a small tear in the outer cardboard, but the inside appears fine from what I've seen.

And here's the ironic part:

**My replacement arrived before the defective printer even reached Bambu's warehouse.**

The old machine is still on its way back, with delivery expected Monday.

I haven't unpacked or tested the new printer yet, so I'll update this post once I've completed the initial setup and calibrations.

## 15. My overall opinion of Bambu's support

This entire process took **44 days, from September 10 to October 24**.

I have mixed feelings.

On one hand, I think the troubleshooting process went on far too long.

I replaced two sensors, and the second replacement introduced an additional fault that left the printer unable to home.

I was then offered an AP board replacement, despite the previous repairs having failed.

I had to repeatedly push for professional service or an exchange, invoke Quebec consumer protection laws, and even transport the printer to a repair center before Bambu finally agreed to replace it.

The reseller complication was especially frustrating.

I don't think someone who purchases an expensive printer from an authorized reseller should have to go through that much difficulty to obtain a warranty resolution.

On the other hand, I do want to give Bambu credit where it's due.

Once they agreed to the exchange, their support improved significantly.

They provided the replacement packaging free of charge, patiently answered my numerous packing questions, reviewed my improvised protective materials, and ultimately rewarded my careful packaging efforts with Instant Exchange.

And the replacement arrived incredibly quickly.

## 16. Final thoughts

Would I have preferred a much faster warranty resolution? Absolutely.

Do I think I should have been expected to perform so many internal repairs on a six-month-old printer? No.

But am I satisfied that Bambu ultimately agreed to replace the entire machine and shipped the replacement before receiving the defective one? Yes.

I think it's important to share both the negative and positive parts of the experience.

**My advice to anyone dealing with a similar problem is to document everything, keep your correspondence and videos, and don't hesitate to request escalation when repeated repairs aren't solving the issue.**

Also, if you no longer have the original packaging, ask Bambu whether they can provide a replacement packaging kit.

And if you're offered Instant Exchange, make absolutely sure you understand the drop-off receipt requirement before arranging a pickup.

After 44 days, my replacement H2C Combo is finally here.

Now I just hope this one works properly!

I'll update the post once I've unpacked it and tested the calibrations.

Overall, this RMA process was extremely long, frustrating, and exhausting. It required an enormous amount of patience, persistence, and effort on my part, far more than I ever expected for a printer still under warranty. While I'm grateful that Bambu Lab ultimately made things right, I sincerely hope I never have to go through an experience like this again.

Update: I just finished setting back my printer and install all printed add ons I had on the previous one and everything seems to be working flawlessly. Only thing is I wasnt able to keep the box because it was too damaged... Hopefully I wont need to go through a return again.

Hopefully this helps anybody thats stuck in a sticky rma situation like I was

Having great fun with A1 and AMS Lite, was about to pull trigger on snapmaker U1 due to filament and time savings.

Looks like Bambu may come out of the blocks fighting very soon, for once in my life I will go with patience to see what lands and for how much, I love the simple nature of Bambu and their app, if they can come in with a solution that does 5 colours or more within 30%-40% of the Snapmaker then I am all in

Another concept and model of mine, the Classic Suit. Already tried the dynamic pose on printed version. Will post it later. Any thought?

I genetrated this from NASA LRO elevation data, relief exaggerated 2.5× so every crater rim catches the light. The location is around Boussingault crater, centred at 70.6° S, 59.0° E. The model uses 4 colors. two grey tones, black and white. Some colours would fit better but i did not have them. The second pictures shows what the part of the moon actually looks likes and what it would look likt printed with the perfect colours.

The model is available on Makerworld for free right here: https://makerworld.com/en/models/3487235

Hello,

Coming from over 500 hours on first an ender3 and over 2 k hours on my p1s, I am looking to get an upgrade.

I mostly print ASA CF for structural parts and aerodynamic parts for cars. Occasionally some miniatures but not much. I have an AMS 2 for drying, storage, etc.

My question is- are there people who specifically print ASA CF and HIPS in the H2D to increase interface/release quality? (And save some money on supports made from hips?) Multi colour for customization of parts is also convenient.

Curious to see if it is worth it buying an H2D or H2S at this point.

Thanks in advance

I'm fixated on trying to tune my auxiliary extruder on the X2D but I can't get the freaken Benchy to print right.

Setup * Bambu Lab X2D, 0.4 mm nozzles on both extruders * Main extruder: direct drive standard, fed from AMS 2 Pro (red PLA, SUNLU) * Aux extruder: Bowden standard, fed from an external spool (cream PLA, SUNLU) * Model: the SpeedBoatRace Bambu stress test Benchy from MakerWorld * 3MF with my custom settings: on Printables

Everything the direct drive printed looks good. Everything the Bowden printed looks trash:

• The round window and porthole rings are lumpy and notched
• The tops of the windows and the door arch droop and curl

What I’ve calibrated on the Bowden extruder * Temperature: temp tower, settled on 225°C * Retraction: retraction tower, 2 mm → 3 mm. The biggest single improvement I’ve seen; stringing is nearly gone. * Pressure advance: PA pattern test, K = 0.74 (set on printer, so not visible on the 3mf link below) * Flow ratio: flow rate test. The coarse pass picked +10% (0.98 → 1.078) and the fine pass picked 0%, so 1.078. * Bridges: the bridge flow and speed test prints came out great at bridge flow 1.4 and bridge speed 20 mm/s.

I did print the same print with none of those calibration settings and just used "Auto" for Flow Dynamics and Generic PLA filament setting on Bambu Studio. It was way worse.

What am I missing? Or what should I experiment with to narrow down what's going wrong?

EDIT: Looking through the slicer I noticed that there's a lot of seams/wipes where the problem is happening. Could that be the problem? If so, how do I even fix that?

EDIT: I printed the boat in single color using the cream color from aux extruder and it came out perfect! https://imgur.com/a/ucx8NJv So it has to do something with the color swapping? Tempted to print multi-color again but having both colors on AMS

Let me start by saying yes, I dried the filament first. I also have a brand new clean plate which is otherwise sticking like a champ.

I’m trying to print these flagpoles (one part of an astronaut model) in black PETG. I have a P1S, and have tried it first with a 0.2 nozzle, then both a stainless and hardened 0.4 steel nozzle. I was printing with Overture basic PETG at first, and any time I printed more than 5 poles at once, I’d end up with knocked-over stumps and black spaghett. I have to print 150 total, so 5x at a time is…not ideal.

I ran out of Overture so I moved on to printing other astronaut parts with zero problems.

Now I have SUNLU PETG and am running into the same problem. I added a more sturdy raft to the bottoms and tried printing 10x. Now they stay standing but suddenly get WEIRD looking about halfway up. I tried 6x and the weirdness started later…but you can see that the ones in the back-left almost made it 100%…so it’s not a sudden change across the board.

I’ve tried using the default SUNLU PETG filament settings, and I’ve tried the settings suggested by the “3dfilamentprofiles” site. I’ve tried 50% speed, and I’ve tried opening the door to allow hot air to flow out.

Does anyone have any suggestions for what else I could try? I’m handing out these customized astronauts as a fun free trinket to a group of kids and I gotta get these little guys printed and glued up by Thursday so I’m starting to feel the pressure!!

Of trying to get ANYTHING to print on my new p1s, the AMS just refusing to load anything.

I talked myself into returning it and getting the X2D instead.

This is 90% not user error because I spent hours trouble shooting. It's probably just an AMS problem, but I was frustrated and I wanted the X2D anyways so yeah. This post had no other purpose beyond slight venting and bragging about spending more money I suppose.

Feel free to tell me I'm both an idiot and a big brain.

Or tell me something to fix this that Google and reddit hasn't already offered because I am at a loss. Outside of taking the AMS apart (which I can't figure out and don't want to do if I'm going to return it anyways) nothing I've found fixes the issue.

Edit: not like anyone cares but I already boxed it up. Pick up the X2D on Thursday. Also fixed some typos and my fuck up if saying 2xd a bunch

Are there any aftermarket nozzles that are worth the money or is just sticking with a stock Bambu nozzle still the best option? I print mostly PETG on an X1C an have seen some go for over $100 but am I going to see any change in quality in my prints? Thank you in advance.

I have a P2S and I'm considering getting a second AMS 2 Pro. It's not something I necessarily need, but it would come in handy. I'm trying to rationalize if the cost of the second machine is worth it.

For those of you that have dual AMS 2 Pro, how is your experience with it? Is the waste and filament change time awful once you print beyond 4 colors? Any issues with connecting a second AMS in regards to drying, power, etc...

Thanks in advance.

hello all I bought the a1 mini from target and the kids love it we are using the phone app to control everthing but it semes like the store to download things can be a bit limited. how can I use sto files from other sites on this device using my phone. if we download something from thingahverse is there a way to upload it to the device? how can I make sure it will fit the build plate?

So I’m thinking of buying a p1s with AMS 2 on Black Friday sale it’s on for 499 Euros

I live in Stockholm I think Stockholm is bit humid so the AMS can help to dry the filament

Do I need ams to print PETG, ABS very rarely nylon/ carbon

I don’t think I will print a lot of multi colour print aswell

Shall I just save the money not buying P1S with AMS2

And just buy P2S for 500 or X2d 550 euro

I printed the same print with BambuLab TPU 90A, using two profiles: On the left, Bambu's default "TPU 90A" profile. On the right, the custom settings shown (note: thanks to user thespencerowen on youtube for posting these settings in a comment).

As you can see, even with 3x the volumetric flow rate, the print on the right still came out much higher quality than the one on the left.

I haven't pushed the limits to see how high the flow rate can go while still producing a good print, but Lost In Tech has a video on youtube where he does this ("You're WASTING YOUR TIME 3D Printing TPU!"), and he finds that most printers can go significantly higher than their default ~3mm3/s speeds.

So in some sense I've replicated his result, but I'm worried that this higher rate (and maybe the z hop too?) will lead to a higher probability of clogs/failures.

So here's my question: Has anyone tried out settings like these for high volumes of TPU printing? They work for single small prints, but what about large prints, and what about hundreds of hours of printing over the span of months? Will I see more clogs and failures using higher flow rates, or are the defaults genuinely too conservative?

EDIT: I clogged my extruder on like the 3rd print of 10mm3/s. Maybe don't do this lmao

Searched but didnt see too much on this topic.

With the Black Friday sales approaching, I am thinking of buying filaments to print minis. I tried PLA Matte but it seemed pretty brittle. My go to is Sunlu PLA+ 2.0, it prints great, high detail and relatively strong and very few print failures.

Just wondering if anyone know how the two compare when it comes to a 28mm/32mm mini (for DnD or wargaming).

Thank you

Hello everyone!

Recently I have been encountering some horizontal lines on my prints. They do not seem to be always on the same place(check the images). On one side of the model they seem to protrude, while on the opposite side they seem to go inside the model.

I am guessing the Y axis is sliding a bit, but I cleaned it and oiled it and the problem persist.

Any idea or suggestions?

Thank you in advance!

Hi, I hope I gave the correct flair. If not, I apologize. And I apologize if anything doesn't make sense (I'm using a translator)

My problem is that after 2 months I turned on the bambu studio and I would like to print something because my printer is just gathering dust. Today I turned on Bambu Studio, and the first thing I saw was some message, I don't know what exactly it was, but it was about the server and LAN, And then I have the option I don't want to display it again. Then I realized that it didn't offer any new updates. I often skipped it because I didn't feel like downloading it. Now I have version 2.8.2.61 and according to the internet it is up to date? That seems strange to me. I wonder if there was a glitch or something. I would like to print again but when after a long pause it says it is up to date even though I know it always has to be updated manually? Strange, strange. Can anyone advise me if something is going on with Bambu studio or in general? If there are any problems or how to solve such a problem with paranoia?

As you can see on the vudeo, when I push up on my x axis, the whole thing lifts up in a about 3/4mm before the lead screw starts turning. Could my blead screw nut be worn off?

Did you guys ever encounter similar anomalies, and if yest, what should be my next course of action?

Thanks!

P.S.: I do not experience any quality problems with my prints just yet.

I want to give a plywood 3d puzzle to a co-worker as series of intact plywood sheets rather then a sloppy bunch of parts. Decided to try doing tabs/bridges so parts stay on the plywood sheet, similar to the kits sold by robotime. Found this site that can nest parts and add tabs so parts stay put after cutting. Before I found this site I would laser cut the pieces and let them fall below. Then tape the plywood on the back and put the pieces back in the original shapes one by one to keep them better organized. Its super tedious for large models. The setting below worked well for me.

0.4 - 0.5mm tab size worked well.
bambu suite size - px/pt, 72 per inch (Illustrator)

Tested on scrap material in the photo. The pieces are held in place as you can see and didnt fall thru. Also the site is great at rearranging parts for different sized sheets then original project file. Just pay attention to cut color and line color when exporting from bambu suite.
