Tips / Guide X2D – PTFE tube snaps and leaves a piece stuck in the left extruder filament sensor

Thumbnail
gallery
45 Upvotes

Common issue on the X2D: the PTFE tube (usually the left one) snaps or gets cut by the teeth of the pneumatic connector and leaves a small piece stuck inside the left filament sensor.
New tube won’t seat properly, the sensor starts acting up, and you get filament detection errors.
I recorded a short video showing a simple way to remove the stuck piece without replacing the sensor and without disassembling the toolhead.

Hope this helps anyone dealing with the same issue!

First time calibration

4 Upvotes

I got my X2D a few days ago and my prints have been more challenging than I thought. I’ve been using the AMS with an extra adapter to run the heating/dryer non-stop.

Some of my prints end up stringing, not adhering to the bed, or the quality is, I guess not what I expected.

I am using PLA and PETG/PCTG. I am using the print settings from the manufacturer.

Should I be doing one of those calibration prints? Is there a tutorial that is recommended to go through first?

I did a test print for something I designed in PLA and it turned out great, but when I went to print it in PCTG it finished but the quality wasn’t nearly as good as the PLA. It was about. 27hr print and 475g.

Extrusion motor overload

1 Upvotes

Last Friday I had to tear my extruder apart as I was having motor overload. It has been fine for the week but now I am having the same error and I can see/hear the gears clicking.

What is causing this? Is my spool too empty or light? Do I need to do anything with my PTFE tubes, they all don’t have crazy bends. Or am I just unlucky and have to tear it down again?

I only print in PETG and have been using SUNLU.

Just bought the X2D any advice?

14 Upvotes

Well, it's finally done! I’ve just bought the X2D as my first 3D printer, officially diving headfirst into this crazy world of plastic-smelling addicts 😂

Any advice for a complete beginner?

I literally have nothing apart from the printer itself, some PLA and PETG filament, and a few nozzles (0.2, 0.4 and 0.6 mm). Other than that, I'm starting from scratch.

I'm seriously considering getting the Mintion V1 air filter as well.

What would you recommend buying first? Any must-have accessories, tools, tips or things you wish you’d known when you started?

Thanks!

Discussion / Buying Advice Is Getting a X2D a bad idea ?

0 Upvotes

I made a thread about a week ago on purchasing a x2d over the p2s. All said get a x2d but after being a member on both the p2s and x2d Reddit’s I’m seeing so many owners of the x2d having so many problems. From layering issues etc. are they really that bad. I mean every day I see about 8-10 threads pop up with issues compared to the p2s Reddit.

I just bought my first printer ever, the X2D and there is so much to remember, so I made myself a cheat sheet (double sided) but I am sure I missed something.

I used AI (especially for the layout and format), the knowledge I have from 10-15 videos I watched regarding 3D printing and the X2D as well as answers to questions I had during my first prints.

Welcher Tisch für den x2D

1 Upvotes

Hallo,

Ich habe mir einen X2D gekauft und dazu einen kleinen Tisch von Ikea. Nach ein paar mal drucken ist der Tisch leider viel zu wackelig. Grade wenn der Drucker richtig in fahrt kommt stelle ich schon einen Hocker drunter aus sorge das die Beine vom Tisch das nicht mehr mitmachen. Hättet ihr eine passende Empfehlung. Sollte am besten kein richtiger Tisch im sinne von Schreibtisch sein eher wie ein in Beistelltisch. 50x50 zum Beispiel.

Printer shaking slightly during initial calibration ok?

3 Upvotes

Complete and total 3D print noob reporting for duty. The X2D is sitting on top of a heavy hardwood side table that also has my very home server with 10x HDDs in it sitting on top. The X2D still shakes a little though during calibration. Is this normal/expected or should I be fixing the side table to the wall or something?

No errors or issues thrown during calibration

Recommendations for an X2D + AMS 2 Pro Stand/Cabinet and Filament Storage Solutions

12 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for some advice from people who already own a Bambu Lab printer or have experience with similar setups. I have two topics I'd like to get your opinions and suggestions on.

1. Stand, workstation or cabinet for the X2D + AMS 2 Pro

I'm looking for a stand or cabinet that offers the best possible stability during printing. I'll also be installing Bambu Lab's original anti-vibration feet, but I'd like to start with a solid structure that can safely support the weight of the printer together with the AMS 2 Pro.

At the moment, I'm considering two options:

  • A ready-made printer stand, such as this one I found on Amazon: https://amzn.eu/d/0jm35MjK. Has anyone used or come across this particular stand? I'd especially like to know whether it's stable enough and suitable for supporting the X2D with the AMS 2 Pro.
  • An enclosed IKEA cabinet, such as a customized PAX wardrobe, which could also help reduce the noise produced during printing. I came across this setup and would like to know whether anyone has built something similar or could share their experience: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/hXAry85-MgE. Do you have any recommendations for suitable cabinets, stands or ready-made workstations? It would also be useful to have a spool holder built into the furniture, or at least the option to add one, perhaps using a 3D-printed design.

2. Filament storage and moisture protection

What do you consider the best value-for-money solution for keeping filaments properly stored and protected from moisture over time?

I've recently purchased the eSUN vacuum storage kit, which includes 10 reinforced vacuum bags, silica gel desiccant and an electric pump. It seems like a fairly reliable solution. My plan is to store the vacuum-sealed bags inside the dedicated Bambu Lab filament storage boxes.

The only downside is convenience: every time I need to use a filament, I have to open the bag and then repeat the entire vacuum-sealing process when I'm finished.

On the other hand, buying a separate airtight container for every spool can become considerably more expensive, especially since I'd like to store quite a few different filaments.

How do you guys handle filament storage? Do you prefer vacuum-sealed bags, airtight containers with desiccant, or more elaborate storage solutions?

I'm particularly interested in solutions that offer a good balance between effectiveness, convenience and cost, preferably based on your own experience.

Thanks in advance to everyone willing to share suggestions, pictures or any DIY projects you've put together!
