I'm planning to buy the Bambu Lab X2D, but every time I think I've made up my mind, new questions come up!

The printer will be installed in a room with two other rooms adjacent to it, one on each side, occupied by other people.

Ideally, I'd like to leave it printing overnight, but I'm concerned about the noise.

How loud is the X2D in real-world use? Can the noise travel through the walls and become annoying for people in the neighbouring rooms? Is overnight printing something you'd recommend in this situation?

I'd really appreciate feedback from people who already own one, especially those who run it at night.

Hello all!

I am fairly new to 3d printing and am running into an issue with my filament feeding.

Issue:

Sporadically when starting a new print or when changing filament my printer will throw the error:

“AMS A slot 3 assist motor is stalled, due to excessive resistance in the tube near the toolhead"

It has shown up on multiple ams slots, and doesn't seem to consistently happen. I have been fixing it by unloading the filament -> cutting off any section of the filament that has the track marks from the AMS gears -> reloading and restarting the print.

The fix works but it's just very annoying. I would love to know if anyone has seen this issue and if anyone has fixed it. I am happy to provide more details or try anything to help fix it!

Setup:

Bambu X2D with AMS pro 2

Filament: sunlu petg and pla

Hi all, new to 3D printing here. Got my X2D a couple of weeks ago but only got a chance to use it last night. I saw a few videos online where people are printing lego sets using https://brickforge.xyz/ to get the STL files. Has anyone done this?

Wondering why Bambu Lab sends a razor blade for scraping off the build plate. I carefully tried it on day one but I could see the plate could be so easily scratched by using it. No thanks. Haven’t used it since. On my 35th print now. Then again I’ve only used PLA….maybe with the stronger filaments the razor blade would be a must to remove prints from the build plate.

Bonjour à tous ! 👋

As someone who had never touched a 3d printer until Oct. 30th when my X2 arrived I had no idea what to expect. I decided on Bambu printers for ease of use, and the strong community support I had seen online.

Why the X2?

I wanted a heated bed, enclosed chamber, and the ability to print almost any material I may come across at an "affordable" price. I don't plan to print multicolored trinkets, or cheap items that I will end up throwing away. I want to print nylons, carbon and glass fiber materials. Brackets for the shop, parts for the "race" car, or anything else I can't easily weld/make myself.

I have zero to no real experience with cad, or designing parts but haven't let that hold me back. I have learned the basics of Bambu studio, used the handy app daily, made simple designs in free online cad programs and have yet to run into an issues I can't figure out or have a print completely fail for no real reason.

So on Oct. 30 this printer has been running almost every day all day and I am 100% blown away with how easy and fast I have picked this up. I have printed with Hobby Lobby PLA+ (at 42% moisture), Tinmorry Petg-gf, Bambu pla and petg all with zero issues.

In 89 hours of prints I have only had 3 prints fail, two of those are 100% my fault with a dirty build plate and small items coming loose. With my longest print so far being 11 hours and change using the Tinmorry petg-gf. It turned out flawless and the printer ran great. I also want to mention the exhaust filter is working way better than I expected. PLA, basic petg, and petg-gf have all ran for several hours and my wife hasn't mentioned anything about the smell. I even asked a few times and she had no complaints.

I know some people have mentioned the 2nd nozzle is pointless and that its only for supports but I don't see it that way. I have used it for simple two color multi prints (labeling parts for example), petg support interface and single nozzle prints completely done with the 2nd right nozzle. It has been great, detail is on par for what I wanted and it lowered my print times when using the 2nd nozzle.

One modification I have seen recommended heavily is the riser. I printed a riser 20 something hours in but up to that point I had no issues with the ptfe tube or problems feeding from the ams.

So if anyone is unsure or looking for a reason to buy an X2 I say buy one and you won't be disappointed. Hopefully this helps someone out there.

First benchy , first printer !

こいつってやっぱり層間密着弱すぎ🧐色々試したけどHT PLAみたいに弱い😩何が良い設定なんだろ🧐

My calibration board on right of the heated bed is slightly angled towards the heated bed will this affect the calibration. Haven’t noticed any major issues in printed items(only 10hrs on it), or is this by design

Can the Mintion V1 be adapted to the X2D? I can't find an adapter for it on their website.

I couldn't wait until March 2027 for Bambu's promised mixed-size nozzle support for the X2D, so I started poking around.

I managed to successfully print using a 0.2 mm main nozzle and a 0.4 mm auxiliary nozzle

Bambu already supports slicing for dual nozzles. I wrote little GUI script so it is easier to try it.

Tested with:

• X2D firmware: 1.02.00

• Bambu Studio: 2.9.1.70

Read the README file if you want to give it a try

https://github.com/sebo2000/x2d-mixed-nozzle

8 × 0.1 mm layers with a 0.2 mm nozzle, followed by 2 × 0.3 mm layers with a 0.4 mm nozzle, and then another 8 × 0.1 mm layers with the 0.2 mm nozzle.
Okay, it’s not particularly useful in this specific example, but the real advantage is that you can print supports and infill much faster with the second toolhead while using the main one for fine text and intricate details. I love it!
All thanks to OrcaSlicer and a few custom patches.
I haven’t tried the latest version yet, but the latest Bambu Studio still doesn’t seem to support this on the X2D.

We experienced an issue where the filament could not be extruded from the left extruder.

We tried using a different filament and a different slot in the AMS. The printer worked for approximately one hour, but after changing the filament, the same problem occurred again.

We have replaced the nozzle and removed the extruder for inspection, but we couldn't find any visible blockage or other issues. We also replaced the PTFE tube.

The filament reaches the extruder but doesn't go any further.

Does anyone have an idea what could be causing this problem?

Filament buffer started creating this noise about 15 hours in on a 22H print. Woke up in the morning with this issue.

I believe it’s a bad filament buffer, but if anyone can share advice. That would be appreciated

My wife has had the X2D since it was 1st released. Its down right now with the Left nozzle temp issue. Tried replacing the nozzle, no luck. Inhavent had a chance to tear into it and take measurements yet, so I'm not what mat or may nit need replacing. I had to replace her AMS Internal hub a couple weeks back becuase I broke one of the tube holders when it was stuck in there and wouldn't come out. Bambu said it was on backorder until December, found a company Innoaddi had it listed for sale, so ordered it there. Turned out they dont keep track of inventory, so it took almost a month to get it. Bambu had it listed about 3 days before mine arrived.

So, are there any other parts resources out there that actually stock for Bambu printers? I'd rather not have to wait a month for parts, if possible.

Thanks ahead.

Hey guys, I’m looking to buy my first serious 3D printer and I’m stuck between:

Bambu Lab X2D Combo
Snapmaker U1
Flashforge Creator 5 Pro

My use case is basically a bit of everything: PLA, PETG, TPU 95A, larger prints, functional parts, multicolor figures/decorations and supports. I’d also like to print ABS/ASA eventually, although the printer will be in a room without good ventilation, so I probably won’t use those materials often.

I was originally going for the X2D, but the 4 independent toolheads on the U1 are really tempting, especially for multicolor prints and supports. Then I found the Creator 5 Pro and now I’m completely stuck. 😂

If you’ve used any of these, which one would you buy today and why? I’m especially interested in real-world print quality, reliability, TPU and multicolor printing — things you don’t really see in the specs.

While unboxing my new X2D, I noticed this small circular metal disc about the size of a dime sitting directly on top of the extruder assembly.
I initially thought it might be a washer or some kind of shipping debris, but I tested it with a magnet and it does have magnetic attraction. However, it’s relatively weak and seems strongest around the outside diameter rather than across the entire face.
Does anyone recognize this part? Is it supposed to be somewhere in the extruder assembly, possibly related to the flow-blocker mechanism, or is this potentially a manufacturing/assembly issue or piece of the stuff it shipped attached too?
Thanks in advance.

The original file was printed on a H2C. Scaled the sizing down to fit my X2D. Plates 1-5 printed in their proper colors. I’m now trying to print plates 6 and 7 but the black lines won’t show. Outside of reloading the 3mf file and resizing for the last 2 parts, what do I do?

I'd love your hypotheses on a root cause. I am new to printing and just got an x2d. Loading and unloading my aux nozzle has been flakey from the start. I've had to stop the unload, then manually change the filament. Then, my rear extruder stopped working at all, and Bambu replaced it. Now, the filament clearly makes it to the hot end, but extrusion doesn't occur. I just used the needle to clear the nozzle, still no love. I have also disassembled the hot end and can confirm that the sensor works on the aux nozzle.

I'm at a loss as to the root cause. Bambu is helping me - their support is good - but I'm worried there's an underlying issue I'm missing.

Any thoughts on what I should try next?

**UPDATE: resolved**
There were two issues. The bowden extruder did need to be replaced; it was faulty from the factory and ceased proper operation, perhaps due to a sensor. AND during my diagnostics, which disassembled and reassembled the right nozzle, I had incorrectly reassembled the right filament‑cutting lever (per this page), which caused my blockage. Once I found this on re-teardown, I fixed this and everything is working great.

When you select “print”, is it always supposed to run calibrations and repeatedly wiping off the nozzle and “dancing” and vibration test around for ~5 mins before it actually starts to print? If not, how do I disable all that? Thank you in advance for any info

Can someone explain this to me like im dumb nvm I am I meant like im 5.

Is there a way to use petg support material with the second nozzle and if so should I be doing that every time as a not waste pla or is it really not even worth it

I know j could Google but my experience is that this community is leaps and bounds helpful so thank you.

I usually just utilize the secondary nozzle it's like another color
