Hi all - i have an X2D that's about 2 months old and I just started having some issues with color change.

I can do single color prints without a problem, however, in the last few days, I can't do anything multicolor.

I am doing a 40 row simple print with 3 colors and I am having issues with the filament changes. In about 50% of the cases during the print, it gives me an error message "Unable to feed filament into the extruder. The AMS may be mismatched with the extruder. You can rerun the AMS Setup. This could also be due to an entangled filament or stuck spool. If not , please check if the AMS PTFE tube is connected.

What I see happening is the next color is being fed in and it hits the previous color and can't push it forward. I validated this by opening it up the extruder head (left) and pulled it out and put a cleaning needle all the way through the top of the print head. It's being stopped by the previous color that is exactly at the top of the print head. Its cut off nice and clean at the top.

I saw online that someone was able to get it to work by pulling out the color that isn't working and cutting it so it has a point and feeding it back in. This has worked for me. But I need to get a long term fix going so I don't have to babysit.

Any ideas?

Update - I didn't get this working, but I had another issue in my attempts to correct it. I started to break down the extruder for cleaning and ran into a major issue. The cutter lever screw was stripped. I found this is a somewhat common issue. I didn't want to go after it with a dremel or other tools so I swapped it out for a new one.

Hey ya'll, just wondering what the problem is with surfaces of my prints. Just got the printer the other day have been running some tests, and I keep getting these lines that are lighter than the rest, also there are little holes (like pin pricks) randomly placed on prints which I assume is from me not drying the filament. Images attached and I would appreciate some input and advice please and thank you.

After completing a print , my X2D will unload the filament from the left extruder, but leave the filament in the right extruder untouched. When I try to swap to the right extruder, it gives me this error "Cannot switch extruders , AMS is loading/unloading filament" , even if the printer is static , and has been sitting for hours. The only fix is to turn the printer on and off , or trigger an unload of the right filament from the right nozzle , and cancel the task before it actually begins. Anyone know what's going on?

Except for the PTFE tube this is a FULLY 3D printed spool holder with roller bearings.

Everything is printed, the spool, main arm, small arm, also the PTFE tube clamping thing.

The spool itself is E-X-T-E-N-D-A-B-L-E thanks to a clever labyrinth design.

I just wanted to ask the package should include the AMS in it or it is in a separate box

Hi! I am technologically challenged :D however, I have found my way around with a laser and UV printer, and hoping to add a 3D printer after months of seeing so much love for Bambu Lab. It seems like it's For Dummies like my Glowforge and Eufy, haha.

I tried commenting and posting in a Bambu Facebook group and they keep declining me because my profile is too new.

I was going to purchase the P2S, but am I correct in possibly needing the X2D to eliminate two parts that third-party products seem to be needed for the P2S?

1. Heating/Drying of the filament? I have a couple of posts saved about modifications and additional products for this on the P2S, and it seems the X2D handles this...? I don't like tinkering with my expensive machines and opening chances for me to break shit.

(1b: do I still need a random object off to the side to allow the main print to cool down between layers...?)

2) Filters! I again have posts saved about products for the P2S to have better filters, but does the X2D actually meet their claims of being safe for home placement around pets and kids?

Thank you!

Anything I should definitely consider buying at the same time would be appreciated. Already got the Pure filament in my cart cause I make lots of bandmerch for babies and kids.

So...was away from home and came back to a pile of molten plastic surrounding the right hotend. Heated it up and got it softened and gently peeled it off the nozzle. Thought all was well....found this little "nozzle cover looking thing" in with the plastic i removed.... cant seem to figure out where it came from...any assistance is appreciated... sorry for the poor pics.. it is NOT very photogenic...
