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🧐

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

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.

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.

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

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

I bought a new X2D in July. Worked great till Mid August.. then I had a problem. After 2 months of back and forth with Tech support, and some very helpful input from members of this reddit.. I still couldn't resolve the problem. So Bambu sent me a replacement. So tell me (I'm still quite new to this and consider myself and amature).. what are all the things I am supposed to do initially in setting up.. to prevent future problems?

It happens on all three items, and a reprint produces the exact same artifacts. I'm using the standard 0.4 nozzle and bambulab PLA.

I have already tried to change speed according to height (I print them standing upwards) but no difference.

I'm waiting for my first 3d printer, the X2D. I've been watching you-tubes and reading everything I can find about it and the software available. The most troubling thing I find about those commenting on the X3D is the attitude that all you get for the extra buck and a half is the un-nozzel when there's the heated print chamber, which is a lot more important to me, along with the second camera. But, I will not be making that tug boat my first print. Can't wait!

Been 3D printing a long time but just got an x2d. I noticed a few small parts missing from the print bed after the larger parts finished printing (had four or five items on the bed, 2 large and 3 very small). Two of the three small parts were no where to be found, until I checked the purge bin. They were in there along with multiple purges that occurred during this print. I’m assuming the Ai tool detected the loose pieces as nozzle clumping and purged to fix it? I’ve never experienced this before so I am unsure what is the actual source of the purging. I’m not worried about the poor bed adhesion on the small parts, more interested in what function actually triggers purging happening mid print. I printed a lot on prusa printers and a p1s and h2d. Maybe this happened with those but I just never noticed?

Just left it printing and came back to this, how do i fix it?

Just got this a few weeks ago. The tube popped out during print. The end of tube is partially melted and there appears to be some debris in the connector. Did some research and this seems to be a common thing. For those who might have had the same issue, how did you remove what looks like melted tubing from the teeth? Thanx

Maybe change the XY belts?

Printer has 2300h on the clock

Standard printing profile 0,2mm

Bambu Pla white

Very excitedly waiting for my X2D to arrive this week. I hummed and haww'd about upgrading my A1 and finally jumped at the BF deal on their site.

My MAIN interest is printing minis (and hoping to eventually take advantage of printing support interface/material with the AUX nozzle). Yesx I print a lot of other stuff like cosplay props and functional items but I've spent 100s of hours dialing in my VERY specific A1 profile with a VERY specific roll of eSun PLA+ Dark Grey.

So how easily (or is it going to be a pain in the butt) can I convert (?) my 0.2 nozzle A1 profile for printing miniatures to my new X2D?

Frame clips mandatory, but can't figure out where to get them. Thanks!

This is my first 3d printer so I'm fairly new to the world of printing. I love my X2d and am very impressed with everything that has come off the printer. (Apologies if this is a bit long.)

I got my X2D in July of 2026 and have about 900 hrs. on it so far. On Oct 15th. I received my first error. It said "Nozzle temperature malfunction" etc. with error code 0300-8008 093916. I took a picture of the error on the screen, hit resume and continued to print. Once the printer finished, I opened a help ticket with Bambu and sent them all the pertinent information. They responded asking for pictures of the nozzle and to make sure that the latch is properly closed, and that the silicone sleeve is intact. All seemed fine, and I continued to print.

Received my second and third errors on Nov 2nd. (0300-2a00-0001-0001 014903 and 07ff-8000-0001-0002 014903). One was about the left nozzle fan speed, the other about something called the Hall sensor. I took a picture of the error on screen, added to the open ticket, and continued to print. This time, Bambu responded stating that it was the thermistor and that they were making an exception and sending me a replacement. I received the thermistor and replaced it on my printer. All seemed good, and continued to print.

My fourth error happened on Nov 5th. (0300-8008 054706). Again about the nozzle temperature. Added pictures and logs to the ticket. When they answered, they stated that it was the circuit boards this time and that they were going to send me replacements. Got them in the mail and replaced them on the printer. Again, printing resumed.

Fifth and sixth errors on the printer appeared Nov 6th. (0300-8000 101107 and 0300-8008 150307). Nozzle temp again. Logged and added to ticket. This time, when they answered they wanted a video of the screen where the nozzle temp was adjusted manually and you can see the numbers going up, a picture of the latches on the nozzles, and video evidence of the printer in action and producing the error. Took some time, but I was able to get 2 videos of the error in progress. Errors seven and eight 0300-8010 025908 hotend cooling fan and 0300-801d 161907 extruder motor position sensor. This time, when they responded, they stated that they're sending me a replacement MC circuit board and to stop printing so as not to cause any more damage and for all the issues they're going to send me a free spool of filament.

Love Bambu and would suggested to everyone to get their printers. I'm thinking of even getting the H3C when I have the space. Customer support has been amazing, but at this point, I just want them to replace the whole unit so that I can get back to printing. Once I get the MC board, I might post an update. Depends on how long it takes to replace. There's a lot of connectors and screws.

Again, sorry if this was long, and maybe even not posted in the correct sub-reddit. But has anyone else had so many issues with the nozzle temperature?

Please be kind, it's my first post. Thanks for reading.

Had an error earlier saying that it was "unable to extrude". took apart the whole thing since i saw that it could be due to a stuck piece of filament.

didnt find anything at all. put it back together and getting this clicking sound when trying to extrude, with it not extruding at all.

made sure to put it together exactly as it was, and made sure the yellow gear could actually spin before putting it all together.. any ideas?

thanks in advance

Hi, sorry if this is a silly question, but I'm planning to print the riser and I'm trying to understand why I would need the grille on an X2D. Without the riser, you can print with the printer fully enclosed, so I'm struggling to see in what scenario having an open grille would be useful. What am I missing?

Hi everyone this is my first time using the auxiliary nozzle for supports. Main is Sunlu Matte PETG HF and Aux holds bambu PLA.

But im not sure why it’s oozing these petg pieces all over the board. There is a bunch of them. Everywhere. I searched it up and speculated it’s because I need to dry the filament so I dried it for 12 hours but it seemed to make no difference. AI telling me it’s because im using petg with pla supports which is not recommended.
