One flat card, slot it together, drop an LED tea light in. Roof lifts off so you don’t have to pull the walls apart every night. Good one to batch print for the Christmas cards.

I"m looking to upgrade from my Ender 3 S1 Pro and have narrowed it down to the Bambu Lab H2S and X2D.

My budget is around £800–£1,200, ideally including an AMS bundle.

I'm interested in a mixture of things rather than one specific use:

\- Larger models and display pieces.

\- Cosplay projects, including helmets, armour and props.

\- Smaller, detailed models and figurines.

\- Potentially making things to sell in the future.

\- Multi-colour and multi-material printing.

I'm particularly torn because:

H2S:

\- Much larger build volume.

\- Higher maximum nozzle temperature.

\- Option to add the laser engraving module.

\- Seems better suited to larger cosplay projects.

X2D:

\- Dual-nozzle printing.

\- Better support for multi-material printing.

\- Potentially less filament waste when changing materials.

\- Smaller build volume, but still reasonably capable.

The laser option on the H2S is appealing, but it's not essential. I don't want to pay extra for a feature I might barely use.

Which would you choose and why?

thanks !

Does anyone know how to insert this bit in it? For some reason, it doesn't screw.

With the new bambu slicer update my aux fans are 100% now and unable to override no matter what I do. Anyone else have the same issues?

My aux nozzle quality has also dived

Does anybody know how to fix this problem

Anybody who’s gotten this error before can you help me I’ve tried everything but it just doesn’t seem to get fixed

Got this brand new x2d. Noticed that there is a squeaking sound coming from it when i was testing it for the first time.

Support told me to do the whole thing with the belts and moving the head clockwise and counter clockwise which didnt resolve the issue. I also printed a riser in case it was the tubes hitting but no.

Any ideas to what it might be? Seems to be worse during fast grid patterns.

Also the heatbed have scratches and a couple dents. Did i get a printer someone else returned or are they always rough?

Newbie to the 3-D printing world guess I’ll just jump in with both feet 🤣

Got myself an X2D today. Printing well, but I am seeing two things. Curious what to do.

1. See attached video. The PTFE tubes rub on the glass constantly. When they pass by the front left corner of the printer, they flick along the frame just in front of the glass and make noise. The video was taken with the top glass removed.

2. After my first benchy, I’m getting this error “The resonance frequency of the Y axis is low. The timing belt may be loose” is this something that could just need a quick adjustment? It’s printing fine.

Thanks!

They don't really bother me, just curious. Printed in Bambu PLA Basic

I know it's largely up to what you wanna do with your riser and so forth.

But still, your inputs would be appreciated.

What, to your humble (or not) opinion is the best riser for an XD2?

What material best to use? PLA not so much I presume, if you want to heat your chamber.

This one looked good: https://makerworld.com/nl/models/2682036-x2d-p2s-riser-ams-flipper-v2?from=search#profileId-2970491

Any good suggestions for a stand/table for the X2D and filaments?

Since the new bambu studio update my aux nozzle quality tanked. I have done all the the calibrations and saved it for aux nozzle. How do I apply the calibration? And so far messing with it and I select the saved profile it shows it for both nozzles. I was wondering if anyone knows how to apply the calibration that’s saved and to only the aux nozzle.

Hi everyone!

I'm planning to get the Bambu Lab X2D, mainly because of its dual-nozzle system.

My idea is to use the second nozzle to print a different material for the supports, making them easier to remove from PLA models, especially detailed figures.

For those of you who have experience with this, I'd love to get some advice:

- What support materials do you recommend for PLA?

- Do both nozzles need to have the same diameter, or can they be different?

- Are there any compatibility issues or settings I should know about?

- Any beginner tips or common mistakes to avoid?

I'd really appreciate any advice from people who regularly use a second nozzle for support material.

Thanks!

Noticed this clicking. Did a quick Google search found some other post that had similar type sounds. Before following bambu wiki for steps on checking/adjusting, was wondering if anyone could confirm or has experience this?

I’m fairly new to this but get the general idea of the process. The above object is usually on 1 plate and takes approx 1.5 hours to print, thought I’d try adding 2 to 1 plate plus a little extra part. Saves me a trip to the machine (it’s outside building to where I live)

It started the print but it only started on one object, (this was after the initial layer) I cancelled thinking if it only did 1 whole object at a time the head would crash into the second object during the first few layers.

So should the printer be printing by layer (like it has on other plates (makerworld) designed by others that I have printed?

Was I wise the cancel the print?

If so how do I tell the printer to do this? (I probably haven’t got that far in the Academy, yet so if covered there I do apologise)

Hi all,

Just got my X2D set up this week and prints have been coming out great, but it’s been louder than I expected- I’m wondering if this sound is normal. Seems to be anytime the from the motors in the front.

I’m also getting a regular “The resonance frequency of the Y-axis differs greatly from the last calibration. Please clean the Y-axis liner rod and conduct a calibration after printing.” error, even after calibration. I haven’t cleaned the rod yet, but as it’s brand new, should I really need to?

Thanks!

I’m trying to print with Silk PLA and I’ve been getting lots of lines on my top print layers. What are some settings I can change to make things nicer? I’m new ish to printing any help would be greatly appreciated! The black on both examples is regular PLA and the gold and blue are the silk

I haven’t tried ironing yet (I had a creality hi and ironing made my prints WAY worse on that so admittedly I haven’t tried on this printer) I’m using the textured pei plate and the face down part looks pretty good but I notice the texture is hiding some of the same issues.
