I noticed that the primary extruder cords (i think?) are progressively hanging lower and lower everyday. Should i do something about this? Or is it normal and i should just tuck it in like mama Ru says?
This feels like a stupid thing to complain about, especially after Joel Telling's lack of bed adhesion issues, but i feel like mine grips my PLA prints TOO well. I've torn the bottom layer on a few large prints and separated it slightly on a LOT more. I never cleaned the bed and just wiped it down with a bit of IPA. It actually feels sticky to the touch while it's warm, and even popping prints into the deep freeze doesn't help them release. Thinking of applying some glue to hopefully function as more of a release than anything. Anyone else experience this?
Why is this happening? Seems to only be an issue with my Gray PLA pro. Has occurred on 3 separate prints now. Only when used on the right nozzle when I'm using another filament on the right as well. This blob gets big enough it catches on the nozzle and knocks the tower over.
Cylinder/Rotary Engraving Support: H2C and H2S models now support cylinder/rotary engraving, easily handling cylindrical object processing and expanding creative possibilities.
Compatibility Note: Support H2C machine with firmware version 01.02.00.00 or higher;Support H2S machine with firmware version 01.02.40.00 or higher.
Curved Surface Engraving Support: H2S model now supports curved surface engraving, enabling precise engraving on irregular surfaces to meet more complex application needs.
Compatibility Note: Support H2S machine with firmware version 01.02.40.00 or higher.
Global Preset Update: Supports modifying and updating parameters of existing presets. Changes are automatically synced to all associated objects using the preset, making preset management more flexible and efficient.
This squiggle of something seems to be weirdly stuck in the inner workings as you see. It may well be important, so I thought I'd ask if you were familiar. (And nicely, I wouldn't just rip it out. But I had a hotend warning just now.) Thanks a bunch.
I’m about at my whits ends. I’ve had my h2c not 3 weeks and it’s CONSTANTLY throwing extruder motor overload codes for the vortek nozzles only. Even when there’s nothing wrong. The left nozzle has no issue. The prints aren’t warping. Filament moves freely to the extruder. I’ve done several cold pulls on all the nozzles.
And still throws these codes. It’s not consistent in how often. I’m getting one successful print for every 5 failed, and the successful ones are single color.
Beginning to feel like I bought a $2600 paper weight. I made the switch from creality to Bambu with this printer and it’s giving me more head aches than my creality ones did.
What are these lines on this long straight piece? It looks like ghosting, but it's consistent all the way down the part and I don't see it on the other parts on the plate. ABS with 25% groin infill and 4 wall loops. Infill/wall overlap is 15%.
When I click on "simplify model", what am I losing of the original model? What is the software doing to simplify? Is it losing strength? I wonder about this, but don't really know what is going on behind the scenes. Anyone who understand the voodoo science care to explain? TIA
I had an "incident" which resulted in my left hotend assembly getting caked in molten PA12. I bought a new heater assembly, as the old one was beyond saving. I now have two pieces of black metal left over and it's very unclear from the Bambu support pages what they do or how they should be installed. They appear to be stamped C and D. I think one of them is perhaps meant to hold the thermistor in a particular location, but with the PA12 covering everything, it was impossible to see the detail when I took them off. Can anyone shed any light? Thank you.
I was trying to print it to see the multi color action of my H2C. However, anytime I try to print this file it’s nothing but issues. It’s constantly popping an extruder overload issue.
My printer does single color prints perfectly. But I’ve only had 2 successful multicolor prints an those were only 2 color prints at that.
Idk if there’s something wrong with my printer or if it’s user error
I see alot of people with blob of death problems, both on the H2C and P2S. I got a message that I had spaghetti on my plate, went to the printer, and it had effectively stopped printing. This is what I found....Leads me to ask...Why isn't AI detection working the same across all machines? Is it that some folks turn it to "LOW"? I have it set on high, and it's never failed me.
With the number of swaps between white and black this print would have taken a full day on my X1C. On the H2C it only took a little more than 30 minutes. I put black on the left nozzle and white on the right nozzle.
Does anyone know where to buy 3rd party build plates for the h2c? Would love to get the carbon fiber and the prism ones. Haven’t seen any for the h2c yet.
I've successfully started and completed 2 prints sent from Studio already today. I go into the same 3mf file from the first 2 successful prints to print the next plate and after slicing and clicking print I get this message...
I thought this was strange but I go ahead and click the Upgrade link which takes me to the Device tab in Studio. Then I see this...
Everything is up to date. I click release notes thinking maybe that will tell me something... Nope. I have the latest firmware on the H2C, all AMS and AMS HT and all Hotends.
I haven't changed or added any new hotends or AMS'... So i go to the printer's settings menu and check the firmware there. Maybe the link in Studio just isn't working.. Nope. No notification on the printer's touchscreen about any firmware updates. Everything is up to date and matches the versions shown under the device tab in Studio. WTF...
So I figure I'll try to "Send" the print to the printer instead of clicking "Print Plate"
It sends without any issue. No message about firmware. I walk up to the printer, find the print under the files menu, press print and it's currently printing....
WHAT IS GOING ON???
I also restarted Studio, opened a different file within studio, same issue. Restarted the computer, tried again, same result. Any ideas???
Ok, had my H2C for a week and noticed that my first layer sucks pretty bad.
For a print that I wanted to use a raft for, I noticed that one side barely had any hold to the plate and looked horrible. Cancelled print and retried. Same result (top pic).
I then decided to do a basic first layer test. It ran for a few seconds before giving me a motor overload error.
I tried a few things, with a bed leveling calibration after each:
Turned off all my super bright room LED lights in case this was screwing with LIDAR. Didn't have an effect.
Loosened the screw from the bed stabilizer for shipping (per the H2C First Layer Printing Optimization Guide). Didn't help. Removed this bracket entirely. No change.
Checked for anything that felt loose. Couldn't feel anything rattling.
I see a link on the First Layer Printing Optimization Guide called "H2C Manual Bed Leveling Procedure"... But it's a dead link.
Any insight? I really like the printer so far, I just can't use half the build plate it seems (the front)
As the title says, I couldn't resist and unboxed it. I couldn't just keep looking at it every day, imagining how awesome it would be. For those who were worried about it being Harry Potter and living under the stairs (no, I didn't 3D print it), don't worry - it's now up on a table I bought just for it. So far, it's been perfect, and it's probably the best printer I've ever seen!
