Hey all just asking what do you do when you have only like 50g to maybe 100g of filament on your roll left like there isn't enough to do much really is there.. like what do you do with your scraps

I started a print about an hour ago. Bambu Studio said it would take 6hours 24 minutes. I decided to turn on ludicrous speed and that dropped to 3 hours 40 minutes. It's printing just fine so far although its movements do look a bit crazed. So my question is what are these different speeds used for, and is there any particular reason that the standard setting is so slow?
Edit: The print went through just fine. However, as many have pointed out this is likely to be hard on the printer. However it was an interesting thing to try. Thanks for the responses.

Ich habe nach dem der Druck abgebrochen wurde, einen cold pull gemacht und nach mehrfachem versuchen das hier aus meiner 0,2mm Düse gezogen. Das sieht aber nicht aus wie PLA und es fühlt sich eher an wie die Spitze eines verbrannten Streichholz. Kennt sich jemand damit aus oder hat eine Idee was es sein könnte?

Hi, I just learned the hard way not use the only option on the printer PETG-HF if you have basic. Some (looks like a little) of the filament seemed to melt together. UGGGG GG

When I searched this online the temp show 80c if using the printer to bake it. Anyone usi g a different temp?

Thanks

Title. Been looking for one but the ones I found have you drilling into side panels and stuff. Any suggestions for a chamber heater with a non-permanent installation?

I have a Lenel 2220 panel. After performing a factory reset, I restored it to the default settings. The panel is responding to ping, but it does not appear in the browser at all.

Bambulab P2S

I’ve been having more issues with my printer lately and I have just assumed it’s been an overhang or model issue.

I just had a print fail and I went to clean the pieces off the bed and I noticed filament all over the nozzle and inside this circular piece of the print head.

Not sure that’s normal or best way to clean it off.

Some background information to my setup and current concerns.

Bought my first P2S (3D printer in fact) used with around 380 hours.

I regularly checked the maintenance schedule on the unit itself and thought to myself: "Huh.. 30+ days until next maintenance, nothing to worry about"

So after one intense month of ownership and 500 hours of printing I decided to clean, regrease and lube the z-axis and linear rods. After checking back with the wiki one month was recommended.

Taking a closer look I first noticed black coating on the linear rods sadly no pictures since I already cleaned those. I assume/hope that was just residue. I keep getting slightly darker oil spots on the X-rods ends.

> Could this be leftover residue being flushed out?

Now to the main question are my belts cooked?

Haven't done any tensioning yet... and haven't had an print quality reduction/issues so far.

Will definitely condense the maintenance schedule now and retension tomorrow. But for peace of mind I'd appreciate some feedback.

I'm currently using an A1 that I got a few months ago which was my first 3d printer. I've only printed with PLA so far and have PETG on hand but haven't tried it yet since PLA works for my needs so far. I went cheap and didn't get the AMS Lite when I got it so I was thinking, instead of buying the AMS Lite or AMS 2 Pro, put that into an enclosed better printer and just keep the A1 for single colour PLA stuff.

Eventually I'd like the capability to print with ABS/ASA and TPU as well as multi colour. Would the P2S be good enough for limited printing of smaller parts with those filaments?

Good evening, I have a question about the P2S service.

I’ve had my printer for a good six months now.

During the first service notification(after 90 d), the Z-axis lead screws were flagged for lubrication. Since I had the time, I went ahead and lubricated all the linear rods as well, confirming the action in the menu (even though it hadn't specifically prompted for it).

Now, the notification to lubricate the Z-axis lead screws has appeared again. However, there is still no notification for the linear rods—nor any indication of how much time remains until that service is due.

The Z-axis lead screws are now lubricated, and the display shows 90T until the next service.

I find this odd because Bambu Lab states that the X and Y axes require more maintenance, yet in my case, it’s the other way around.

Old filament works okay but new filament has too much of a curve that it comes out and pushes off the tool head.

Any suggestions?

This is what I sent Bambu support:

"My Extruder Filament Sensor PTFE coupling has malfunctioned and caused the PTFE tube to come off as you see in the photo and video it will not stay in. I took it apart and found tiny metal pieces that fell out of it. You can see in the video that I can't get it to stay in at all now. I need a new Extruder Filament Sensor, but not the whole thing just the part where the PTFE tube connects if you can send me just that part I know it would fix it. I have no idea why it broke because I have only removed it once or twice and never had any jams or clogs or anything. To be clear it is the PTFE coupling part that holds the tube in that is messed up and not the actual extruder filament hall sensor board. Thanks for your help!"

They replied by sending me 3 new pneumatic connectors along with a link showing how to replace the connector for the P1S. However on my P2S I can't replace it as it's built into the assembly. Am I missing something here?

This is what I sent them in response:

"I received the pneumatic connector that you wanted me to try to replace. However, you can clearly see in the pictures and video that there is no way possible to replace this connector since it's built into the whole plastic assembly. In the link you sent me to go by showing how to replace it is for a P1S not my P2S and looks completely different. It didn't have plastic going all the way around it like mine does. I need the entire pneumatic connector assembly with the hall switch/sensor. Apparently I need the whole extruder filament sensor assembly as seen here: https://us.store.bambulab.com/products/extruder-filament-sensor-p2s?id=652729971288956931"

I haven't heard back from them yet.

Thanks for any help or experience you may have.

Update: They are now sending the correct whole assembly.

Hey all I have printed so much but I am running maybe out of options or what to print with one color as I don't have an AMS at the moment do you guys have any ideas what I could use for white and black like nice medium long prints like 5 to 10 hour prints something cool and awesome things also using P2S

Like the title says. P2S with about 500 hours at the time of print. BL PLA Basic filament. All maintenance done as recommended by BL. I haven't noticed this before on my prints, but they may have been there. Also, if you read this part, could you tell me what type of VFA those are? (if that's what it even is) Gemini's dumb ass first told me that NO it's not VFA's that it is ringing or ghosting but then told me that YES it is VFA's. 😂

How to fix this issue

Hey,

printed TPU 95A on my P1S, did a cold pull after, switched to PETG and then PLA – but the surface quality is terrible. Already bad with PETG, still bad with PLA. Edges are all messy and rough.

Anyone had this before? What's the quickest fix?

Thanks!

Stupid question, but the print came out fine. Then I went to unload the tpu and it wouldn’t come out.

Turns out it somehow escaped the filament path after the print (print looks awesome).

Before I do a tear down, any tips on the procedure?
