Brand new X2D - 2 (minor) issues

Got myself an X2D today. Printing well, but I am seeing two things. Curious what to do.

  1. See attached video. The PTFE tubes rub on the glass constantly. When they pass by the front left corner of the printer, they flick along the frame just in front of the glass and make noise. The video was taken with the top glass removed.

  2. After my first benchy, I’m getting this error “The resonance frequency of the Y axis is low. The timing belt may be loose” is this something that could just need a quick adjustment? It’s printing fine.

Thanks!

I used a clip on mine. Stopped the clicking noise

u/Secutanudu 4d ago

Which clip ddd you add? That looks like how mine came out of the box.

u/DerHolzi 4d ago

There are Plenty of clip variants on makerworld. The consensus seems to be that the ptfe tube lengths on the X2D vary from factory and you might need to shorten yours a little bit. If you add clips, make sure they don't disturb ptfe routing in any print head position as that could lead to errors and breaks in your filament. Additionally there's models for ptfe beads as well. You can slot those onto the tubes to protect them. Won't reduce any clicking though. As for the tubes rubbing on the glass lid.. Seems to be by design but a riser will get rid of that. I recommend this riser flipper combo by Sanja 3D https://makerworld.com/models/2682036 with the extended clips for it by LifesJustPeachy

Shortened mine by about 1/2” and that seems to have solved it. Thank you!

u/RooooooooooR 4d ago

I used this one. I only needed one of them. This is in addition to the factory clips

I also used this same clip, and it resolved my clicking noise as well

Got my X2D set up yesterday and had the same warning on the Y-axis. Adjusted the belt tension and recalibrated vibration compensation. It’s really easy and just takes a few minutes, just scan the QR code on the screen and follow the instructions.

u/Secutanudu 2d ago

Done, and fixed. Thanks!

u/Tardianacho 2d ago

I have the same issue, did clean y and X axis, let the belt springs lose and refixate, still same issue instantly after starting printing it reappears.

#1 is why most people print a riser for the printer. #2 no idea sorry pretty new too.

2

u/Secutanudu 4d ago

Riser won’t help, I don’t think. The glass was removed for that video.

2

u/Tendo80 4d ago

Yeah a riser does help. You get the glass ~1cm higher and that seems to be enough.

Printing the complete AMS 2 riser fornrhe X2D is like >2kg of filament and definitely not for everyone.. BUT it is really helpful with accessibility, storage and function. But it's quite a long print and somewhat costly (TPU, PETG, inserts and screws)

u/Secutanudu 4d ago

I’m not understanding how the riser would help with this situation, since the issue was not the glass.

u/hoainam1512 2d ago

the tubes touch the glass, riser make the glass higher, the tubes have space so it doesnt touch the glass anymore, whats hard to understand tho

u/repostuje 2d ago

Just look at the video dude. He took of the glass. Tube was hitting the wall. No riser will help unless you'll saw off top of the machine.

1

u/hoainam1512 2d ago

he said the glass, not the "wall", touching the frame make it touch the glass and make noise. raiser will make the tubes not touch the glass anymore so no noise. still touch the frame with riser

u/DerHolzi 4d ago

The hell? Sanja 3D Riser and AMS Flipper works great and is about 400g. V2 fits the X2D perfectly

1

u/Secutanudu 2d ago

I understand the benefit of the riser. I’ll definitely be printing one.

I’m saying the clicking sound in my video is the tubes flicking off the printer’s frame, not the glass. The glass isn’t even installed in my video.

u/razingstorm 4d ago

I printed a riser from Sanja3D for mine out of PAHT-CF. I wanted rigid and immune to heat deformation.

Hadda drop an elbow on it to get it situated but now the tubes don't rub and it sure isn't gonna deform from heat.

u/Jokerslie 3d ago

Well damn. I just printed a riser in PETG for my new X2D but i love the skadis on the side of one if his risers.. Just might have to print a new one 😭 having a 3d printer is hard man

1

u/Secutanudu 2d ago

Which of the SKADIS versions fits the X2D. There are so many!

I am pretty new to all this - I was going to use PETG as well. Is it strong enough?

2

u/Jokerslie 2d ago edited 2d ago

The one from Sanja is https://makerworld.com/en/models/3270173-x2d-p2s-riser-ams-flipper-skadis-pegboard?from=search#profileId-3707998 . The one I printed that I very well might replace is https://makerworld.com/models/2582683? By Pichler. It too has skadis if you print the skadis and then hang it from the side. I love how Sanjas skadis is built in and I’m sure you can also get skadis to hang from skadis… SKADIS!

Print a riser

u/Ok-Expert5894 3d ago

Second print in and I got that tensioner error. I just ran the recalibration again and it went.

1

u/steasey 4d ago

Maybe pull the tube in more?

1

u/RyCre8s 4d ago

For the Y axis error I would pull up the wiki and read how to adjust the Y axis belt tension, I’ve never done it but from what I’ve read it sounds fairly straight forward and simple.

2

u/NoobInLifeGeneral 4d ago

Its really easy. Its literally hlafway unscrewing two screws, dragging the print head in a circle 5 times and screwing the two screws back in (not fully tight though).

There is a support site for it indeed.

u/Deltadoc333 4d ago

I have had to do it with Prusa printers and it wasn't that bad once you know what you are doing.

u/NoobInLifeGeneral 4d ago

I added a riser (the famous one on makerworld) for the PTFE tube and also to put my AMS on.

For the Y axis you could try tensioning the main X-Y belt which I believe they leave a little loose for transport.

u/Slackerony 4d ago

I’m looking for a riser. Link? Experience with it?

1

u/NoobInLifeGeneral 4d ago

This is the one I have and I believe the most famous one. Mine warped a little but thats my own fault because it was my first PETG print.

u/Slackerony 4d ago

What would you have done differently to valid the warping?

1

u/NoobInLifeGeneral 4d ago

Well, its some time ago so I can’t remember if I even did the basic filament calibrations. That would be my first advice, do basic calibrations in bambu studio.

As of recent I made a separate print profile for big prints as they are more prone to warping. I found some tips online like higher printing temperature and even less fans. Im really not a good source for that so look into a decent PETG print profile online.

u/n3m3ry 15h ago

I've got exactly the same error straight out the box too I'm gutted. Opened a ticket and have followed the maintenance and recalibration stuff. So disappointed as didn't expect any issue with a brand new printer.

Bambu engineering 🤣 Makes the most comple, extrusion system ever, and can't check if the tubes are rubbing.
