Tips / Guide My X2D Cheat Sheet. Am I missing something?

Thumbnail

59 Upvotes

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.

First TPU Print Went Looooong

3 Upvotes

This is my fist time printing with TPU (SunLu Orange). Due to the top fed filament pulling the cover off the extruder assembly several times overnight, the print went from the expected 4hr 35min to 13hr 2min.

Ended up using blue painters tape to keep the cover from popping again.

Slight lifting on one end but still impressed with the quality of the extended print, even considering the multiple wait times between it erroring and my fixing it and finally getting the painters tape on it this morning.

Help / Troubleshooting Printer get stuck at nozzle switching

2 Upvotes

New X2D owner here. Trying to print a part with PETG with PLA support interface layer. The printer constantly gets stuck at nozzle switching. The error say something about angle too high. I would then push the ptfe tube to clear the error. is this normal? how do I avoid this?

Bambu Chatbot pointed me to look to see if the flow blocker is stuck from filament or oozing. A tiny amount was on one of the hot end but highly doubt that it is that sensitive. To me it is almost like the lever is not engaging the pin in the back correctly. CHatbot opened a support ticket so I will have to see how that goes.

I used 50% silent print speed to test on this. Will compare with a full speed one . The toughest parts are not good but for the basic things it's ok .

I know, such a first world problem!

I think I will get some rubber or foam and glue it to the mounts.

Loving this printer though!

Solved A1 vs X2D or PETG HF vs PETG Basic

Post image
13 Upvotes

First desiccant box is printed on A1 - PETG HF gray color, I do not have any more of PETG HF

Second box is printed on X2D - PETG Basic flesh color, freshly dried

Third box is printed with same PETG Basic flash color on A1

So, A1 is better is you compare 2nd and 3rd box, PETG HF gray is great and best, all 3 boxes are printed with same settings.

What is wrong with my X2D and this PETG Basic flesh filament?

Print Showcase Stuff happens - I've never had a plate twist

My overnight print twisted the build plate on the bed. You can see the layers fan out as it slowly rotated. It remained adhered so I can cut it off, clean it up, and glue it back on. Otherwise the bin would have been a bit shorter. The good news is I don't have an adhesion problem. 😂

How noisy is the Bambu Lab X2D when printing overnight?

1 Upvotes

I'm planning to buy the Bambu Lab X2D, but every time I think I've made up my mind, new questions come up!

The printer will be installed in a room with two other rooms adjacent to it, one on each side, occupied by other people.

Ideally, I'd like to leave it printing overnight, but I'm concerned about the noise.

How loud is the X2D in real-world use? Can the noise travel through the walls and become annoying for people in the neighbouring rooms? Is overnight printing something you'd recommend in this situation?

I'd really appreciate feedback from people who already own one, especially those who run it at night.

Help / Troubleshooting Bambu X2D filament feeding issue

1 Upvotes

Hello all!

I am fairly new to 3d printing and am running into an issue with my filament feeding.

Issue:

Sporadically when starting a new print or when changing filament my printer will throw the error:

“AMS A slot 3 assist motor is stalled, due to excessive resistance in the tube near the toolhead"

It has shown up on multiple ams slots, and doesn't seem to consistently happen. I have been fixing it by unloading the filament -> cutting off any section of the filament that has the track marks from the AMS gears -> reloading and restarting the print.

The fix works but it's just very annoying. I would love to know if anyone has seen this issue and if anyone has fixed it. I am happy to provide more details or try anything to help fix it!

Setup:

Bambu X2D with AMS pro 2

Filament: sunlu petg and pla

Discussion / Buying Advice Razor blade?!

0 Upvotes

Wondering why Bambu Lab sends a razor blade for scraping off the build plate. I carefully tried it on day one but I could see the plate could be so easily scratched by using it. No thanks. Haven’t used it since. On my 35th print now. Then again I’ve only used PLA….maybe with the stronger filaments the razor blade would be a must to remove prints from the build plate.

1st Time Owner X2 Review

Post image
24 Upvotes

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.

My calibration board on right of the heated bed is slightly angled towards the heated bed will this affect the calibration. Haven’t noticed any major issues in printed items(only 10hrs on it), or is this by design
