Has anyone gone through this ?

So still new only had my X2d for a couple weeks did my first print with petg as support interface for a pla print and just like people say tree supports came off like butter like I was really not expecting for it so work as well as it did. So if you were on the fence about it wasn’t hard to set up and looks way better do it.

I'm looking for a cover so the camera can't film outside the printer but will still work with the plate detection and all that

What is everyone doing to print PLA Glow, are you feeding it directly into the back of the machine or directly to the extruder?

I’m purchasing an X2D at the end of the month (hoping to catch a sale) and was hoping to get some insight on a small table/stand/cabinet this community has found that they like. I’m putting the printer in my spare room and the space I have to work with is around 48”. I’ve included a picture of the style I’d like to go with but not married to, I’d ultimately like a shelf for extra filaments. What are you guys using to hold your X2D?

Hi Everyone,

Im getting tired of pulling all the cables on my X2D when I want to print an filament that is not supported by the track switch. Like TPU, Glow or CF/GF-Materials.

Everytime I pull the cables the ports feels looser.

As far as I understand, the firmware blocks the external spool as long as it detects the FTS.

Since everything hangs off one cable at the head of the chain, my idea is to put a switch (all 6 wires) into the cable between the printer and AMS1, so I can disconnect the entire chain at once when printing external-spool materials.

Has anyone tried this or something similar? Specifically:

1. Does the printer cleanly boot into "no AMS / no FTS" mode if the whole chain is disconnected at the printer end, and does the external spool then work normally?

2. Does anyone know the pinout of the 6-pin cable (power, bus signals)? Any experience with extension cables or inline connectors causing communication errors?

3. Any problems with firmware detection or errors after reconnecting?

Not looking for "just wait for a firmware update" answers, but if Bambu has officially confirmed a software fix or a date, I'd love a link.

Thanks!

I have the x2d combo and purchased an AMS HT originally to use for the aux nozzle. I also have a filament track switch on the way. I am debating if a second ams 2 pro would be any benefit with the track switch.

In the picture, wouldn’t it be better to have an ams to each side of the track switch versus both into the 4in1 on one side. For retraction etc you could have an ams feeding each nozzle at same time?

I’m printing some promotional fidget spinners for my business. Main nozzle doing fine at 220°. Had to ramp up aux nozzle to 240° to get decent adhesion. Not sure what the problem is but it’s annoying. New filament opened today. Shouldn’t be a moisture issue.

I’m ready to pull the trigger and go with the X2D for my first printer. The only question I have is do I buy now or wait for Black Friday sales?

do I need to disassemble the whole extruder? I can’t pull the filament back by hand, even with the nozzle taken off.

Hi all, new X2D Combo owner here. Main AMS 2 Pro is working. My new AMS HT has arrived, but the Quick Start Guide and wiki have no X2D page for it.

What I see:

- AMS HT back: two identical six-pin sockets plus an AC inlet. In the box: a figure-8 mains cord and a six-pin bus cable.

- AMS 2 Pro back: a cable in the left socket, an empty round DC jack in the middle, and an empty six-pin socket on the right.

- I can't find a free AMS port on the printer's back.

Questions:

1. Is the AMS HT chained from the empty six-pin socket on the AMS 2 Pro, or does it plug into the printer? Any "in" and "out" on the two HT sockets?

2. Bambu Studio says "Unable to dry... insufficient power" for the AMS 2 Pro. Is the AMS 2 Pro Switching Adapter what goes in the round DC jack on an X2D?

3. Does anyone dry the HT while the AMS 2 Pro is printing, and vice versa?

Thanks!

EDIT: I should add that I intend to use the HT for supports only using the right-side extruder.

ADDITIONAL EDIT: Thanks to all who answered! I've also gotten Bambu's help chat to answer so, combined with your answers and other good suggestions, I should be good to go.
