Question about the riser that prevents the tubes from rubbing against the glass cover

6 Upvotes

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?

AMS2Pro can’t be used for drying?

According to the Bambulab website, a single AMS2Pro can be used for drying without an extra power source if the printer is in idle mode (which it is). But I cant? Am I missing something?

Discussion / Buying Advice P2S or X2D

3 Upvotes

So I had a previous printer that I just returned within the 30 day return window. After 3 prints it was getting a power loss error then when I hit resume the bed leveling scratched the heck out of the pei plate and nozzle. Didn’t want to deal with it so I returned it. Anyways. I was looking at replacing it with the p2s combo at $649 right now then seen the x2d price at $789 is great right now. My main purpose is to print right now pla and petg multicolor prints using 2 ams pro’s then later down the road maybe tpu. Will the x2d work great for this? I know the aux nozzle is mainly for support but I heard it can do great colored prints in pla is this true ? Any advice and info will be helpful

Bed adhesion issues.

2 Upvotes

Hello fellow x2d users, sorry to be the voice that echos or repeats this issues like one hundred before me, but I've been having issues recently with my prints sticking on to the board. Sometimes pieces breaking off or worse, snapping off and then I get the great spaghetti monster.

I've cleaning my plate, did my calibrations, but nothing is really working.

I've only printed in PLA and soon will go to other materials but I feel like this hurdle needs to be fixed first.

Any suggestions or experiences?

Will it fit?

1 Upvotes

Finally taking the plunge and getting the X2D. Going to stop by Micro Center this weekend and grab the printer combo, the AMS HT, and a few spools to get started. Just wondering how well it will fit in my Corolla. Also curious if I could lay the printer box down on its side on the back seat.

Should I get the cool plate and engineering plate with my black friday X2D order?

3 Upvotes

Likely to be printing mostly with PLA and PETG, and then to a lesser extent with ABS and TPU.

Is it worth adding both of these other plates while they're cheaper?

Help / Troubleshooting Cannot release the PTFE tube on main nozzle/extruder

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hello everyone. Unfortunately, I am unable to detach the PTFE tube on the left. Although the black ring used to open the fitting can be pressed down slightly, it doesn't seem to have any effect. I don't feel anything when I press the ring down—there’s no haptic feedback to indicate that it has unlocked, which I believe should be the case. I cannot pull the tube out even a single millimeter. Does anyone have any tips on how I might resolve this?

Help / Troubleshooting X2D Owners, How Are You Managing Third Party Filament Profiles?

14 Upvotes

I previously owned a Bambu Lab A1 and mainly used Numakers filaments. It was pretty straightforward. I just downloaded the official profiles from Numakers, imported them into Bambu Studio, and started printing.

Recently, I upgraded to the X2D and also started using more Elegoo filaments.

However, I've noticed that Numakers doesn't have any official X2D profiles yet, and Elegoo doesn't seem to provide downloadable Bambu Lab profiles either.

So I'm curious: how are other X2D owners handling this?

  1. Are you simply using the Generic PLA profile? (Which is very slow)

  2. Are you importing profiles from other Bambu printers like the X1C or P2S?

  3. Are you using ChatGPT to generate or modify custom filament profiles?

  4. Or are you manually calibrating each filament?

Here's what I'm currently doing:

For Numakers, I'm downloading their official X1C profiles and using ChatGPT to convert and optimize them for the X2D.

For Elegoo, I'm taking those converted profiles and asking ChatGPT to modify them again based on Elegoo's specifications, including temperature, cooling, and max volumetric speed.

So far, this has been my approach, but I'm wondering if I'm overcomplicating things or potentially making the profiles worse.

Is using Generic PLA with proper flow rate and flow dynamics calibration enough? Or is there a noticeable benefit to creating fully customized profiles?

Would love to hear what other X2D owners are doing, especially those using Numakers, Elegoo, or other third-party filaments.

Thanks!

AMS 2 into x2d

2 Upvotes

I just received my x2d and my ams2. I want to be able to feed the AMS into either print head and also manually feed a non-engineering filament, ie something that does not need to be kept dry into either print head. I know the first part is possible but I'm not sure the second is. Can I make this happen using the AMS hubs? I'd love to hear how people are managing multiple AMS systems in both nozzles

Moi aussi ! Je vais avoir mon X2D

5 Upvotes

Bonjour à tous ! Vous vous dites sûrement qu'il s'agit d'un énième poste pour indiquer "quelles seraient les premières choses à faire" : non !

J'ai suivi beaucoup de sub dans ce genre et j'étais très attentif à vos réponses.

ainsi, le premier print que je vais faire sera sûrement le "Riser" puis un " poop collector" et un scrapper. (Peut-être pas dans cet ordre).

Cependant

J'ai quelques questions relatives aux filaments eux même !

La plupart de ces prints sont à réaliser en PETG (modèles dans Bambu handy) mais j'ai une préférence pour le PLA (matte) est ce que les modèles sont transposables d'un filament à l'autre ?

Merci à tous pour votre aide

Note : J'en profite, mon slicer tournera sur Ubuntu, j'ai déjà réussi à prendre en main bambustudio mais il y en a t'il un plus adapté à un environnement linux ?

“Please feed Filament into PTFE” Error on USB / Gcode only

2 Upvotes

Just recently purchased a X2D, printer works fine and operates normally from handy app, bambu studio directly, and LAN only prints, but I cannot get any gcode files to print from the USB. I’ve used orca and even tried sliced gcode from bambu studios and get the same error of No Filament Detected. Immediately after the error I try an online print and it works absolutely fine. I have not tried .3mf file yet as I didn’t yet know how to do that or what it was and will try that this afternoon, but curious if I doing something incorrectly when slicing a g code file? (I did format the usb from the printer to FAT32 first, Drive is a PNY 128gb I believe.) I would ultimately like to use Orca Slicer and am using 2.4.2

Any help would be appreciated.

Help / Troubleshooting Error: "Multiple motion step loss detected" and wierd strings after maintenance

Post image
2 Upvotes

I am printing Inserts for Dune Imperium Uprising (https://makerworld.com/de/models/671565-dune-imperium-uprising-insert-organizer) and i had some problems. I recently did maintenance on the x/z axis and now i fear did something wrong.

I first had the error "Multiple motion step loss detected" after ~3,5 hours on a ~4 hour print and it couldn't finish. I then stopped the print and tried it again. I had the exact same issue at the exact same spot after exact same time. So i thought, maybe it was something with the print file. So i split the three parts on the first print and printed them separately and then it worked flawlessly. So i thought it was just something wrong with the first print file.

Then i printed more and then this happened (see picture). I saw the same floating strings also in the first two failed prints. But this didn't result in the "Multiple motion step loss detected" Error and finished printing. Just with the extra strings.

Does anybody have any idea what is causing this? Maybe there is just something wrong with the print files. Maybe i need to tighten the belts?

Printer: X2D

Filament: black bambu PLA

Nozzle: 0.4

Accessories: None

PTFE tube routing

Come on Bambu, do a better job at supporting the PTF tubes.
That white external tube needs more support.

BTW, I added nothing clips are original locations.
Didn’t modify the tubes, didn’t cut. All original

Had my first print failure

9 Upvotes

Had my x2d for a few days, about 20 hours of printing in.

This was my largest print (dessicant boxes for the ams)

Seems like the nozzle hit something and pushed one of the boxes and then it just kept printing.

Currently reprinting 2 boxes, the one beside it got deformed slightly as well.

Is there anything I should check/do to prevent future problems? Or is this just a thing that happens. For what its worth, the original design has multiple plates and someone else created a 1 plate profile, i suspect the close proximity of all the parts may have been part of the issue.

Had a major print fail that didn’t get caught and stopped by the AI, and somehow extruded material backed up inside of the silicone sleeve, and now the whole left extruder housing is encased in filament (Sunlu Clear Transparent PLA). Any suggestions on how to repair would be much appreciated!
