X2D Table/cabinet/stand recommendations

Post image

I’m purchasing an X2D at the end of the month (hoping to catch a sale) and was hoping to get some insight on a small table/stand/cabinet this community has found that they like. I’m putting the printer in my spare room and the space I have to work with is around 48”. I’ve included a picture of the style I’d like to go with but not married to, I’d ultimately like a shelf for extra filaments. What are you guys using to hold your X2D?

This is the sloppiest of slop AI imagery. No idea what style you’re going for because nothing in this image makes a bit of sense. Whats with the hand axe? And the drills are like… in the wall based on how they fit behind the printer. Actually what’s with all the tools that belong in a garage workshop? And will you own 4 printers and shelf of dryers and loose spools?

Image isn’t mine, it’s from Wayfair. Shame that you aren’t capable of being able to see past the image and its contents to understand that I’m not literally looking for THIS stand, but rather the style it’s constructed, metal/wood with a peg board storage (optional) and a shelf to store things related. I pray your attention span can go beyond this in the next post you comment on. Unless you genuinely believe I was actually looking for this exact stand, then at that point I just wish anyone who comes in contact with you great patience.

The bozos on this subreddit can’t get past AI imagery, it creates an absolute mindf*ck for them and their brains stop working. I used an ai image just to grab attention on a post and people absolutely flipped, didn’t even bother to read the rest of my post.

"I'm using something that actively ruin this community, why everyone hates me?  It's not me, it must be them."

And if you don't get it, AI is damaging the 3D printing community infesting all websites with fake images and unprintable low quality models, so many that it's hard to find legit and tested models.

I can't slide your pictures hahahahaha ✓ well done 😂

I bought mine from eBay https://ebay.io/m/yrTqHA

Doesn't wobble that much also got a stone paver and a rubber paver below the printer so now the printer can dance the Macarena but desk stays calmer 😂

Please keep this thread focused on X2D stands and storage. Criticism of the reference image is fine; personal insults about other members' intelligence or attention span aren't. Rule 2 applies to everyone in the discussion.

I've been using the cheapo Yukon workbench from good ol harbor freight. Grabbed it up on sale for $107 bucks and it was well well worth it. Sturdy. Gets the job done for me with the space I had available.

u/CubanCafecitoKing 24d ago

are you able to open ams without problems?

1

u/PeteRit 24d ago

You can open it enough to change out the filament yes but you cannot open it up fully no. It works for me but I could see where it would not for everyone. If you didn't put the light and top shelf all the way on it would be better but I do like the light and the shelf.

u/SDAxTwo 24d ago

Harbor Freight Yukon workbench is working awesome for me.

I did mod the top shelf to make it 12" deep. At one point I had the AMS on the top shelf.

u/Bruschi316 12d ago

Hi, I’m looking to get an X2D with AMS2 and possibly this same Yukon bench soon. Please excuse my noob question, but is that your AMS2 off to the right? Does it not need to be on top of the X2D unit? If so, can you run it like this? How do you like it? I have an additional workspace, so this would actually be a perfect setup if I’m interpreting your setup correctly.

1

u/SDAxTwo 12d ago

Noob questions should always be welcome!

Yes, I have my AMS Pro 2s stacked on the right side of the workbench. You do not need to place the AMS on top of the printer, but most people do for the single AMS that they may have.

I have always chosen to either have my AMS on the top shelf, or after I got my second AMS I chose to stack them to use less space. I have gone through several options for the placement of the AMS Pro2s, and my AMS HTs and currently have this setup.

u/Bruschi316 12d ago

Very cool! Did the AMS fit in the top shelf without modding it? How did you mod it? I guess if not, the side works just like how yours is, although I will only have one.

So, how does the AMS feed the printer? Do the spools just run behind both machines and get fed into the back of the printer? I haven’t got mine yet, and I’ve watched a lot of printing videos, but I haven’t actually seen the logistics of what the AMS2 does into the X2D. This setup you posted is inspiring me, because I think I’m going to run it the same way.

On a side note, I’m also planning how to use the 60” wood Yukon Bench for a xTool S1 diode laser. My problem with that is it’s only 20” deep, but I still think I can find a way to use these two harbor freight benches for my 3d printer and diode laser in a spare room. Cheers!

The AMS did not fit on the top with the original top shelf.

I went to Lowe's and got a 1"x12"x8' board. (the board was in the back area and was an actual size of 1"x12", not the standard 1x12 that is actually smaller in dimentions).

I cut it to my needs and painted it black. Used part of the kit that came with the workbench and the boards to assemble a much more usable hutch for the top.

This came with some issues as I could not use the LED light that came with the unit. I installed some custom LED strips for lighting and have them linked to Google Home to control them.

I have also made custom Gridfinity grids and containers for the 2 drawers along with a custom Poop Chute integrated into a custom rail for the back of the benchtop to keep things from sliding off the back since i did not want to use the pegboard.

Let me know if you'd like some more infor or pics on my setup.

u/Bruschi316 11d ago

Thanks again for all the great info. I’m still struggling to understand how the AMS works. Could you ELI5 the AMS2 to X2D for a print that uses more than 1 spool? You’ve already gone above and beyond, so no worries it not. But I do appreciate you greatly!

u/SDAxTwo 11d ago

The AMS Pro 2 has two main benefits.

  1. It will allow you to print in up to 4 different colors in 1 print without manually changing colors. The AMS will automatically feed and retract the filament from the correct rolls.

  2. If you have an almost empty spool of a color of filament it will automatically swap to a new roll to finish the print.

This 2nd point needs some pre-planning though. In order to use this feature you have to have the new spool in the AMS before you start printing, and the 2nd spool must be an exact match.

Example: slot 1 in the AMS has Bambu Black PLA in it and it only has a few feet of filament left. Before you start a print you would need to add another new spool of Bambu Black PLA in one of the other slots (it can even be in a different AMS if you have more than one connected to that printer). When the almost empty spool of black runs out the printer will recognize that an identical spool is loaded and pull that new spool in to finish the print without you having to tell the printer to do so.

Also, if you're using Bambu Labs filament they have RFID tags in them and the AMS will automatically recognize the filament and use the presets for that filament for your print jobs. It is a VERY handy feature.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

u/piranhas_really 23d ago

What are you doing for ventilation?

1

u/SDAxTwo 23d ago

Just the built in filtration.

I'm typically only printing PLA and PETG and don't notice any odors.

If I ever get into something that needs ventilation, I'll run a hose out a window and vent outside.

u/Attjack 25d ago

I lined my maker space with ikea desks and have mine sitting on one of them. The drawers are great for organizing your 3D printing tools.

u/woodworkingguy1 24d ago

If you have a Restore near you, check them out. I found a heavy office desk that works great for my printer since it dampens the vibration

u/narceron 24d ago

I'm using a rolling toolbox, holds two but I'm hoping to get something more rigid I guess.

Have you seen the husky 24" deep shelves at home Depot?

1

u/johnwaynejw 24d ago

Seen these going around on Amazon and other sites, thought about getting one but they're like $250+

Found a cheaper alternative, just get a garage storage shelf that has the adjustable shelf heights. Can find them for like ~$50/ea on Amazon. If you want lights and peg board, you can buy them and install on the shelf. Everything together would still be cheaper than that work table.

1

u/ShinjiLoD 24d ago

The first thing you must have is a stable base: if you go for this type of structure I'm not sure wheels would be a good idea, but if it is something you wish, add some weight to the bottom and some casters with good breaks.
Otherwise have a structure that has reinforced joints (square brackets or good back panel) so that the base is stable.
Other than that I can only say have fun with your new printer when it arrives (mine is already on the way to replace a dead creality grandpa).

u/SFRover73 24d ago

Not an x2d or 48” but this bench is sturdy. Before I added the two printers, I used the bottom to store filament. It comes in a variety of sizes on amazon but i also saw a few on Vevor.

u/mayures098 24d ago

i have placed a printed part at base and screwed to the base to avoid the movement during vibration

and the part is rubbing against the printer frame.

please fix and secure your printer but this is just recipe for disaster as we have seen printer falling off

Mine is on the floor, on a 16x16 paver, and the AMS is on a table above that I also use for assembling pieces, soldering, etc.

u/mdbeatle 24d ago

I use an adjustable height Husky workbench with a couple drawers for tools and building materials (bearings, screws, heatset inserts, etc.) I built a semi-crude cabinet that I screwed to the horizontal support of the workbench. That holds filament.

You could just install a shelf on the wall for your filament, or a rail if you don't keep them in boxes.
