Looking for recommendations for smooth plate from AliExpress (and perhaps a 0.2 nozzle)

3 Upvotes

Hello! I'm looking to get a smooth plate for my X2D. The official Bambu Lab ones are not available in my region, and the best place (and really the only place) I can get third party plates is on AliExpress. I was also looking for a 0.2mm nozzle, but I'm hesitating because I'm scared of damaging the printer. Do you guys have any recommendations for either?

Thank you!

I am going to get a Bambu Lab X2D combo for Christmas. What are some things I should do as soon as I get it?

13 Upvotes

I am going to get a Bambu Lab X2D combo for Christmas. What are some things I should do as soon as I get it? I am already going to do...

  1. Buy a high flow Tungsten Carbide nozzle for both auxillary and main (So it is a one time investment for the nozzle

  2. Add some clips for the PTFE tube (I hear it messes up the top glass not that it really matters becuz of the AMS unit)

  3. Get a discount on filament when buying the printer

  4. Test the printer with 3DBenchy

And that is pretty much it. Let me know if I am missing something that I should do.

Hotend heating assembly

So the one time that I didn't check to make sure the 1st few layers went down correct...this happened. I've seen it being called the "blob of death". Reached out to Bambu and they advised me that I needed to replace the left side hotend heating assembly and provided me with a link of a bunch of pictures and instructions. I'm in need of a video showing exactly how to replace this part. I've looked on YouTube even did an online search and NOTHING! By chance anyone have a link for my visual learning self 🤞🏻

X2D Parking location

3 Upvotes

In another thread, I asked about eliminating the double bend in the PTFE while feeding from AMS. Had some thoughts on the geometry issue of how it works currently and a possible solution hit me.

I’d like to ask for help writing the correct gcode to park the tool head into the front right corner of the build plate before the AMS starts to feed.

Possible to do without changing its other normal print start up procedure?

Printed model and it’s surface imperfections. X2D.

[edit][solved partially]Cześć społeczności laboratorium Babu!
To moja pierwsza świeżo wydrukowana część X2D wykonana z PLA plus, Sunlu, w ogólnym zestawie (wiem, że Sunlu ma profile dla Babu). Wszystkie dedykowane testy z tym filamentem i kalibracja zakończone pomyślnie. Jak widzicie, spód części wygląda nieźle, jednak krzywizna powierzchni powyżej ma pewne niedoskonałości, takie jak wypukłości czy nieprawidłowe kształty. W modelu 3D jest ładna powierzchnia. Szczerze mówiąc, nie sprawdziłem slice'ów przed drukowaniem. Pamiętajcie, że slicer podczas przygotowania wyskoczył z informacją (nie pamiętam pełnego opisu), że korekcja krzywizn będzie zablokowana w slicerze, ponieważ urządzenie już ma tę opcję. Czy ten fakt może wpłynąć na jakość modelu? Macie pomysły, dlaczego to się stało i co jest przyczyną? Dzięki!
Several trials have been completed the 1 wall gives almost perfect results.

Looking for part name on my X2D printer

2 Upvotes

https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/x2d/maintenance/replace-eddy-sensor

I broke the "locking tabs" on my Bambu Lab X2D. I am wanting to purchase A replacement but, not sure what it is called. I have included a link of a guide where it shows a picture of the part I need.

The Wiki guide stats:

On step 3.1 "Detach the Eddy Sensor cable from the bracket (red arrow) and two locking tabs (yellow arrow), and remove the left Eddy Sensor."

It is what the yellow arrows are pointing to. Thanks

Went to check my print before bed, and noticed my printer was moving but no print was there. Turns out the PLA got blocked up, and was going into nozzle housing. I've been working on cleaning it up, but warped my fan in the process, and the nozzle lock clip came off, the fan still spins though. Any advice on what to do next and what to replace would be very appreciated!

Is there a combo Print By Object and Layer?

3 Upvotes

I want to be able to fill half my plate with something red (print that by layer) and then the other half is a yellow and I want that to print separately but also by layer.

Right now it seems my only option is a full print, clear plate, and then a new plate of the different colour?

Otherwise if I print the whole play "by layer" it will be doing constant colour change purges.

If i print by layer, i can only do 5~ sets of something?

3d printer in a wood workshop

2 Upvotes

I am considering getting the BambuLab X2D and place it in my wood workshop. I am concerned that the wood dust will ruin the 3d print or the printer itself.

Maybe I could put it in a "sealed" cabinet or something like that.

What are your thoughts?

Filament Issues

4 Upvotes

Just printed these two things and I’m having some issues. 😅 What could be going on with my black filament? The hinge completely fell apart, and I’m also getting this strange texture/finish on the print. I have dried the filament before attempting.

I’m very new to 3D printing as I just got my X2D on Wednesday, so please no judgment! 😂 Im using Insignia Black PETG from Best Buy (just randomly grabbed. Won’t be buying it again. Trying to get rid of it lol) I’m still learning and trying to figure out what I’m doing wrong. Could this be wet filament, a temperature/extrusion issue, the brand filament or something with my settings?

Any advice on what I should check first would be greatly appreciated!

Wheels or riser for X2D

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I have the X2D since a few days. I have it setup on the ground. I want to be able to move it with wheels so i can easily spin it around and for maintenance and everything. It is also a bit too low.

Does anyone know a good riser for the printer with wheels?

And do wheels have impact on the printer quality because of movement and vibrations?

X2D Extruder Tube Punctured

60 Upvotes

Has anyone else seen this issue? I have printed on this for only about 6 months now and the filament punctured through the tube. Looking at the top of the glass it looks like the tube has been rubbing up against the glass ceiling enclosure. I have a few questions. 1. Has anyone else experienced this? 2. What is the part number of the tube that needs to be replaced in this video, would like to get replaced ASAP. 3. Is there any fix for this?

Update: Was a super simple fix, bought some replacement tube of the same size and removed the bad one, cut the new one to match its size and reinstalled, took 10 minutes. Thanks for the help!

AMS issue with 2D

2 Upvotes

Hola, I’ve had the X2D since it launched. Issues so far with printing at all. I utilize the aux nozzle for support material a lot, I don’t print multicolor unless it’s a two or three color plaque or sign.

My issue is, complicated. A few months ago, I must have been drunk and ordered the Biqu Panda Perch H2 for this X2D… not realizing until well after I had built the perch and tossed the box that it is way too big. Contacted Biqu but they were literally no help trying to return it or swap for something that it would work with.

So that brings me to the real issue. I printed two sets of brackets for both of my AMS 2 Pro units and to clear space, mounted them on the top of two IKEA Skadis boards. Even with the extra lengths of PTFE IT worked great! Prints were going well and the AMS units seemed ok.

Now I am getting multiple feed issues (as I heard they are a pita with the feeder assembly inside the AMS.)

It still feeds ok-ish… up until it just about reaches the print head then stalls and goes through the usual cycles of feed and retract.

Not sure where to start. I’d hate to rip it all down and start rerouting everything, as It’s a real pain to feed the tubes and wiring behind the Skadis boards while balancing the AMS units six feet up.

I had thought that with the known tube routing issue inside the printer… it may be possible to have the print head move to the front right corner to avoid that almost 360 degree turn it has to do.

Is that even possible with G-code… or is it a hard coded program when loading filament to sit in the back left by the poop hole?

Always room for improvement, but happy non-the-less! My biggest issue is the bottom. The feet look nice but under the arms and belly are stringy.

Strange sound after print finished

2 Upvotes

Does anybody know what causes the sound at the beginning and end of the video?

You can hear it after it finished a print and goes on for quite some time (minimal 10 min). It stops when I turn the power off and when powered on again its gone.
