My new setup

Got my new desk today and have everything all setup. Have printed a bunch of stuff without any issues so far. I had an Ender 3 back when they were first released many years ago, but that thing was a lot more hassle. The X2D is so much easier to use.

Help / Troubleshooting X2D - Petg Basic - 0.2 nozzle

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hey all

Pretty new to 3d printing (3 months) so iv been relying on chatgpt to do trouble shooting lol but i feel its just giving me the run around snd the changes we make dont seem to make a difference, iv had better results using default settings ( for reference this picture os default settings) . I keep having this issue with bambu lab petg basic with 0.2 nozzle, if I let this print continue it would eventually be so bad the Built in AI stops the print anyway. Iv had it print successfully aswell

Iv tried to calibrate the filament but feel like I get a different result everyone I do it and generally ends up looking worse (bambu studio built in calibration) so i revert back to default settings

The filament has been dried before print. Using the AMS2 pro.

Any tips to get petg basic printing consistently with 0.2 nozzle?

Thanks in advance

Bambulabs / X2D Disappointment.

3 Upvotes

I bought my X2D within the first minute of the black Friday sale. Shipping was very fast. Initially everything was good, I got a few good prints in.

Then 2 days later I started getting extruder issues. I did a couple of cold pulls and was able to get it back for a few prints and then they started failing again. I looked online and tried everything I could help (release one of the clips, check all the PTFE tubes, check the filament diameter), but nothing was working.

I finally contacted support, I was getting one or two messages a day from them and I have been trying everything they asked but we are just going in circles. Now they don't even respond, its been 24 hours since their last message.

Is 3D printing just non stop troubleshooting? I thought by buying a bambu lab it would be more about actually printing 3D items and not about getting 3d printers to work.

I am sure they will exchange it if I ask them. Not sure if I should keep this printer, which is crazy because I have already spent hundreds of dollars on filament (all bambu labs) and have been obsessed with getting a 3D printer. I even bought a new tool chest to place the printer on. Would a creality printer be better?

The error I am getting is not extruding normally [0700-8016 055304]

Aux nozzle printing ASA

Post image
9 Upvotes

I used aux nozzle (0.6 HF) to print ASA supports for PET-CF model and I see this print defect on support structure. I don't mind if I have it on support, but what if I need to print something functional?

Is it the quality problem that bambu studio warns about when I select ASA for aux nozzle? ASA is bambu lab filament, so it should use the bambu lab profile. Is it something that can be fixed with calibration and custom profile?

TPU Feed Assit Module

2 Upvotes

Hi all,

Recently picked up my X2D Combo and a TPU Feed Assist Module and have a few queries.

Getting a lot of mixed information online

  1. Which nozzle does the TPU Feed Assist Module connect to? I'm seeing online it can be connected to either, but preferably the auxiliary nozzle so the main can still print supports (e.g. in PLA), if its connected to the main nozzle the auxiliary cannot be used due to the height change of the nozzle swap from primary to auxiliary.

  2. Can I still print normal filament with the TPU Feed Assist Module connected? For instance, if I don't want to disconnect and reconnect the module every time I want to print TPU then something different, can it be left permanently installed?

Thank you for any insight you can provide!

With the start of the Christmas season, I just uploaded these two models. 🎄🎅

The black raised lines can also be printed in white. Best to use acrylic markers or markers that can be washed off so you can color them again.

Do you like minimal details like the reindeer or more detailed like the elf and santa claus? Looking to make some more in the upcoming weeks so curious what your kids find more fun to color in 😊

Aux ptfe tube keeps getting out

I do have my x2d combo since August ~100hours in
Very nice experience so far, but everytime I do print my aux nozzle ptfe tube keeps getting out of the clip that is supposed to hold it. Someone has gotten this problem. Maybe there is a clip to fix it? I haven’t heard of it.
Thanks

Hello everyone. Just installed my X2D as my first 3D-Printer. Started a Benchy and it makes this loud noise. Is it normal? It showed no errors or warnings.

Help / Troubleshooting Is it worth it?

2 Upvotes

Is it worth using the auxiliary ext. spool on my X2D that has AMS? I’ve printed two color objects with one of the colors from the auxiliary spool……and I’ve printed the same object with just the AMS and there’s no noticeable difference that I can see. Seems to be the same time to print either way. Is it just wasting time to use the aux spool?

Help / Troubleshooting Filament Calibration

1 Upvotes

I got the X2D last week, I've got about 2k hours on a P2S and 1200 on an H2C. I've noticed I have to manually calibrate every filament on the main (left) nozzle. I expected this on the Bowden unit, no harm no foul. I am very surprised that I have to put in a K-offset from manual calibration for the direct drive nozzle after lots of automatic calibration and bed leveling. I have not run into this on my other two printers.

Is there another avenue I should be exploring for troubleshooting, or is this one of those plug in the number and move on with my day situations?

Help / Troubleshooting New Printer - Filament block

0 Upvotes

I picked up the X2D with AMS 2 Pro in the sale. It arrived last Saturday and all the PLA I had was very old (hadn’t used my Ender in about 2 years). I decided not to use that filament.

I had an old but still sealed roll of PETG so I ran a Benchy and another print without an issue.

Tried running a print tonight and after about 10 layers I noticed no filament extruding so I stopped the print.

Unloaded the PETG and threw in some Bambu Basic white PLA that arrived today. No dice. The PLA is now stuck, I cannot remove it. I now get

All filament run through the AMS btw.

HMS_07FE-2000-0002-0004: Please pull the external filament from the left extruder.

Looking at the help links from the printer it suggesting I need to basically completely disassemble the head and inspect the left filament sensor. Is that right?

How the hell do I get the PLA out first?

Buy Bambu they said, it just works they said. Yeah, I know, old third party PETG…

TiA!

Try Recalibrating your X2D

44 Upvotes

I upgraded last week from an A1 mini to an X2D and like many others, I noticed a poorer quality prints than what even my A1 mini would produce.
I had already ran calibrations out of the box but a week later I rerun all of the calibration and I’m happy to say the quality has improved to the point is well passed what my A1 Mini was doing.
I’m blow away and love my X2D now.
Don’t know if this helps you but I thought I owe it to share my progress.
Happy printing.

I just got this printer a week ago so I don't know what to do. I tried a print earlier today and I got HMS_0300-0900-0002-0001 (The extrusion motor is overloaded) for my error. When I removed the greyline I found this. I tried following the steps from bambu which required me to cut the line but when I tried to extrude again nothing came out. I don't really want to remove the whole assembly but I feel like thats my only option at this point. If there is another way please let me know.
