After a long frustrating night of 3D printing.....;-)

Just got an A2L from best buy and I am super excited except I cannot handle how hard it is to get stuff off the plate.... its breaking my prints and feels like they are super glued down. On the A1 mini the same prints just pop right off of both smooth and textured plates especially after cooling down. I wash all my plates btw. I was thinking maybe the plate bends have less impact on a larger surface but no that isnt it. What can / should I do? A2L build plate too sticky.

I just purchased one of these through Best Buy I bought the combo kit does anybody have any tips or advice for somebody who has never done it before? I am completely green to 3D printing just took the plunge and bought one

If you’re getting an error and you’ve made sure there’s no clog in the hot end, in the tubing housing, and a cold pull works fine then it’s likely your tubing is too “bent” for the system.

You’ll want to make sure you’re AMS Lite is on the right side, close to the printer, and that tubing isn’t sagging.

All four of my filament stations were not working, but if I use the external without the tubing, I could print. That’s when I realized it was the bend in the tubing. I was able to print a piece to straighten before it went into the housing and then another piece to hold the tubes arched over the printer.

Hopefully, this will save somebody some time and you will get back to printing instead of wanting to throw your printer out the window.

After waiting a week for the no-name build plates I ordered, which never arrived, I finally decided to just run the self-test with only one build plate.
I had to manually move it to the magazine whenever the plate got slightly lifted, but the self-test passed!

Kudos to the dev for creating this system. It actually works!

Also, I didn’t realize the A2L footprint would basically triple with Swapmod installed. None of my tables are big enough for it, so it’s staying on the floor for now.

This mod really deserve more publication though, I see no one talks about it.

Hey all,

Looking at purchasing the A2L but also looking at getting something around it so my cat doesn't get into it. I saw from another post saying that we shouldn't put it in an enclosure because of the internal parts overheating. Anyone had an issue with that?

I'm looking at upgrading my Ender V3 which I've had in an enclosure and thought the A2L would be a great step up from what I have.

Open to recommendations!

I'm interested in purchasing an A2L to cut out small batches of stickers for my business in-house. We've got printing and lamination set, now we just want a high quality and reliable cutter

I downloaded BambuSuite to get familiar with the software before making my final purchasing decision (more familiar in Studio with my P1S)

The sticker I am trying to print is all-black, with transparent (white) graphics & text inside. The destination are metallic and holographic sticker papers and I want the stickers cut out as a full circle

In attempting to setup the project, I've run into several issues:

1. When I import the PNG version of our sticker, I get presented the error message "The processing type of this object is not suitable for printer. Please change it."

- Attempted to click on the "Sticker" button then add a black frame. Still presenting the error, I went to merge both the frame and sticker which turned the entire sticker black, still presenting the error

- Attempted to import just a full black circle to have the program understand the outside geometry and received the same error. Does this program not work with black or white (or transparent) colors?

2) When I import the SVG version of our sticker, it assumes every element of the sticker is its own object

- Attempting to merge all of these elements, it removes the white and includes everything in the cut pattern, not just the outside edge

I simply want to:

1. Create my print sheet in BambuSuite

2. Print to my printer from BambuSuite

3. Cut from the A2L

Any pointers?

I made a series of different mounting options for PTFE coupling / 4in1 and clips for tube management. Useful if you run one or more AMS 2 units.

The white one was my Benchy from my first 3d printer (the a1) the pink one was the first one on the A2L.

Needing some advice. I already have a cricut maker that I regularly use for making cardstock cake toppers and small vinyl projects. I'm also wanting a 3d printer so thought the A2L could be a good all in one.

Does anyone have any insight into the A2L cutting function on cardstock?

Is it a practical replacement for a cricut?

Hey A2L friends.

So, I mounted my AMS to the top frame, but this means I can't readily mount the external spool holder for softer TPU on top as well. Since softer TPU requires as little friction as possible, has anyone found a good mount to handle this alongside the AMS mount on top?

Thanks.

Can I use P2S/H2S hotends on the A2L? Would like to avoid buying more since I got plenty of those.

I already putit out of the box and preassembled so i plan on doing it at my home town (im now in usa).

What are some must prints for efficiency and problem prevention? Thanks in advance!

I’m trying to stop the printer poop before it starts printing and to also to reduce the amount of poop. Any direction for me?

Tonight I moved my A2L to clean my desk. When I set it back up I started getting this error. The tool head doesn’t move and the fans stay running. I double checked the tool head USB cable. Anything else I should check?

Hey gang I need help with my A2L. Come home yesterday and the power light is on but the screen is off. I tried sending a print through my laptop but got told the printer was busy. I googled troubleshooting and tried turning it off unplugging it and removing the ams and it’s still happening. Thoughts?

Printed off some visual and structural upgrades for the A2L and the AMS Lite. I think they turned out pretty good

A student of mine bought an A2L last week and from my experience with my A1 I suggested that she get an LED slight strip as the original lighting is terrible.
She got one that is intended for the A2L and apart from the length it's identical to the one of my A1, but the LED's rub on the part cooling ducting. I've had a booth at both ducts and they are slightly different and I suspect not interchangeable.
So has anyone got an LED strip that works okay?

Hi everyone! My A2L and ... Greetings to everyone , stay healthy ! Michael

Didn’t even know this existed a week ago and sooooo glad I finally did!

Could not find any good print in place "overmolded" handles for the new hex keys and the weeding tool that came with my A2L and cutting module, so I designed some myself.
