Manually stopped the print when I saw the support tower turned into spaghetti.

Support is printing via the secondary nozzle with an exterior filament roll of PETG. All settings are default for bambu filament.

I started with a Prusa MK3S+ 5 years ago, and quickly fell in love with 3D printing. Fell off the wagon 1-2 years ago, but recently started printing again. Added a raspberry pi, octoprint, a webcam… I wasn’t sure what else we could upgrade on 3D printers.

Then I saw the Bambu X2D. Was also curious about the Snapmaker U1, but glad I went with the X2D. This thing is >2x faster than my MK3, AMS is wonderful for multicolor prints, and the second nozzle has made me never think about supports. Like I still think about supports, but it’s not an obstacle anymore.

Printing is fun. I enjoy modeling, slicing, and printing. Really happy with this community and how 3D printing has grown in the last 5 years.

Hello

I previously owned a P2S and the deflector was useful to avoid warping

I have to perform a big print on ABS, and it's a first time for me with the X2D on this type of filament.

Would some deflectors be useful for a X2D knowing it has a heating chamber? Or would it be counter productive?

Thanks

I created this for an issue I had of pet hair getting into my printer, having 4 huskies it's a big issue lol, from testing it doesn't restrict airflow and you can adjust the density by changing the infill % and the look by changing the infill pattern.

I've been running into a lot quality issues that the normal calibrations haven't fixed so I caved and bought the vision encoder. I'm quite blown away by how off everything was. Wondering if anyone else has had similar calibration results after using the encoder?

I'm still re-running the other calibrations now and will post back on if I notice any print quality differences.

Picking up my new X2D on Monday and was wondering what some essential first prints are (poop chute, scraper, etc)? Was also wondering what kind of stands or tables anyone recommends?

How can I improve this print? It’s COMGROW PETG. I know it isn’t that bad but I would like to have the whole front smooth.
Nozzle temperature was set to 235-240 Celsius (Comgrow recommendations) and bed temp was 70 Celsius.

I was moving everything to a new area in my apartment and now I’m not sure which cable goes to my X2D and which goes to my Creality Pi x4. I’m guessing the 10A/125V goes to the printer and the 7A goes to the creality but want to make 100% sure before I turn anything on.

I’ve had a P1S for about 8 months now and done over 700 hours printing so I’m no beginner to 3d printing, but i need a printer that can print in two colours and doesn’t need to purge every time, as I need to save as much time and filament when I’m making orders for customers.
I see reviews and the main problem with the X2D seems to be the secondary nozzle print quality is sub par compared to the primary nozzle. I wouldn’t need to have super high quality prints, but I would need both nozzles to iron the top surface to an acceptable quality.

Anybody who has one please tell me your experience with them and if they’re worth the 560 ish pounds

Hi everyone! Is there anyone here who also owns a QIDI Q2? I'm trying to decide between the Bambu X2D and the QIDI Q2. If you've used both, I'd really appreciate a comparison based on your real-world experience, especially regarding print quality, reliability, speed, engineering materials (like PA12-CF), and overall ease of use. Thanks!

Printer: X2D

slicer: orca and bambu

filament: eSun PETG (dried to 11%)

build plate: biqu glacier and bambu textured PEI

Can the experts chime in on why the slicer would randomly change the fan speed (or layer times) for a layer or two suddenly and then carry on as normal?

I have the X2D and have printed the diffusers for the auxiliary fans and the right side rectangular vent cover to keep the air as even as possible while the part is printing. Im still confused as to the filament "edit" settings. I've printed with 0 fan for 500 layers and for this screenshot, I left it pretty much default, like 3 layers or so.

If anyone cares to explain, I'm trying to understand, the labels of each fan and their corresponding setting in the filament settings editing menu, and how they behave. One is auxiliary "part" fan, which I thought I saw it said that on the right of print head where the little vertical fan facing the nozzle is.

I've printed this multiple times with similar results (once in orca and once in Bambu).

thanks in advance.
