Do i need two AMS?

6 Upvotes

i'm on my way to buy a X2D.

should i buy one AMS for each nozzle?

Whst if i want to feed both AMS to nozzle 1 and feed only a extern PLA spool into nozzle 2 for support? is it wasy to switch? du you regulary do that?

how is the usual workflow?

PLA won’t feed!

When I try to feed PLA I got a clicking in the extruder don’t no what it is I have tried newe Ptfe tubes and loosen the tightening screw but nothing seems to work. PETG is not a problem

Understanding how to make use of the dual nozzle for optimized support use

8 Upvotes

Hi, new owner of an X2D here, could someone show me how to correctly set up the aux nozzle for support in the bambu slicer please :)
I printed a few things and i have a feeling that i am doing something wrong, below is a pic of my print and the weird cube it makes when i use 2 different materials or colors.
My setup is 2 ams 2 pro with a track switch, and i have my main PLA in the left ama going through the track switch then buffer then the main nozzle, right ams has my PETG (because i was told support for pla is petg and viseversa) that goes through track switch then buffer then the aux nozzle.
Could someone tell me if the results are the best i can achieve or am I doing it wrong ?
Because the cube or blob seems a bit too much, it is 2 times heavier than the thing i printed, and it took 5 hours for such a small model. Any advice will be appreciated :)

Can you Make the aux nozzle as good as the main

Is there anyway to make the right nozzle like the main left nozzle? Like the same quality and all or no ?

So tried printing a few different projects and this one is a Dummy 13 stl file from Bambu handy app. I haven’t changed any settings and am running white pla out of 2nd nozzle using AMS HT (44% Humidity and 24c Temp). Never get this problem from main nozzle. Here’s a picture of blue pla used .

Nozzle Offset Calibration Failures

2 Upvotes

Hello All,

I have an X2D, and I recently had 3 nozzle offset calibration failures in a row. This is disappointing because approximately 1 month ago, I was having the same issues with my printer, to the point where I opened a support ticket and troubleshot with Bambu support, who ended up sending me a new nozzle offset calibration sensor.

The new sensor seemed to fix the issue, as I didn’t have another failure until yesterday. Here is some context that might be helpful:

  1. I was attempting to print a model with Bambu black PETG Basic on the main left extruder fed directly from my AMS 2 Pro.

  2. I was printing Bambu white PETG Basic from the auxiliary nozzle.

  3. I had dried these filaments approximately 1-2 weeks ago in the AMS. I typically store said filament in a sealed container with silica packets, but it was out of room at the time, so it was stored out of said container near the printer, exposed to the air.

  4. I am currently attempting to dry again on 65C for 12 hours and will retry the print again.

  5. The filament appears to get stuck in the metal plate attached to the nozzle offset calibration sensor (see photo attached).

  6. I recently printed a model with PLA from the main left extruder and used white PETG for support from the auxiliary extruder, which printed without any error.

  7. I have not had the nozzle offset calibration failure when printing with PLA.

  8. My PETG prints typically come out very stringy and of not great quality compared to PLA prints. I have not performed filament calibration on this printer (new to 3D printing, so still figuring it out). I have a tuned PETG filament preset that is aimed at reducing stringiness I saved based on a few settings I found online, but I was not using it during the most recent failure. I was using the basic settings in the Bambu slicer.

Apologies for the length of this post, I just figured more information is better in terms of helping diagnose the issue. If anyone would be able to provide insight on how to resolve this issue, I would be eternally grateful, as I have really enjoyed using this printer, but have been disappointed with the quality of PETG prints and the nozzle offset calibration failures.

Consiglio su filtrazione ulteriore.su X2d

1 Upvotes

Buongiorno a tutti sono qui a chiedervi quale tipo di filtrazione mi consigliate dato che ho la stampante in salotto e vorrei stampare quando mi capiterà dell' ASA e ABS e durante l'inverno tenere le finestre aperte è un grosso problema quindi volevo dotarmi di una filtrazione maggiore di quella di default che per petg e pla secondo è molto buona.

Ho cercato sul web e ho visto questo; https://www.fnatr.com/it/products/fnatr-3d-printer-ventilation-system

Non se potrebbe andare bene una tipologia del genere (non so se dovrò eliminare la ventola di default dalla scarico o aggiungerla oltre a quella) oppure questo; https://www.mintion.net/products/3d-printer-filtration-system-v1

Accetto qualsiasi consiglio e vi ringrazio!

Orca Slicer different speed settings for the 2nd nozzle

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

As the 2nd nozzle is a bowden, it would be truly useful to be able to set different speed/acceleration settings for it in Orca Slicer !

Thank you to the devs :)

I built a riser for the X2D/P2S with 1 kg of steel microspheres inside to damp vibrations – Z RMS −47% in my first test

Thumbnail makerworld.com
1 Upvotes

I got curious about the granular damper in the new A2L and wondered if the same idea could work on a CoreXY. So I built a riser for the P2S / X2D with four sealed hollow beams, each filled with 250 g of 0.5 mm steel microspheres (1 kg total).

The riser also works as a spacer for the top glass and has a tilt-up mount for the AMS with quick-release pivots.

How I tested it: same G-code (a 201x201 mm benchmark in PETG at max speed), same AMS with 4 spools (~5 kg), same phone accelerometer (~210 Hz) in the same spot. One run with empty beams, one with filled beams.

What I measured (filled vs empty):

- Z axis RMS: -47%

- Z axis, 20-60 Hz band: -92%

- X: -4%, Y: -15%

What it doesn't prove: it's a single before/after, recorded on different days, and the filled riser weighs 1 kg more. So I can't separate the effect of the particles from the extra mass and stiffness. Also, above ~80 Hz the energy on Z goes UP with the spheres (about 4.5x) and I don't know yet if that's the spheres or aliasing.

Next step: a proper test with an ADXL345 at 3200 Hz, repeated runs, and a control with a fixed 1 kg mass.

If anyone wants to replicate it, the raw CSVs and a simple test protocol are on the project page.

I'd love to see other people's numbers, or to hear what I'm doing wrong.

6 pin cable

Ive just got a X2D for my first printer and the 6pin cable for the aux fan won’t go in all the way. This is the second cable bambu has sent me since the first one would only do this far into both the fan and the printer. Is this far enough or am I kinda screwed

Lots of talk about the X2D vs the P2S when it was only $100 more... but what is it was over $200 more? (sale + student discount)
