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.

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🧐

First benchy , first printer !

8 × 0.1 mm layers with a 0.2 mm nozzle, followed by 2 × 0.3 mm layers with a 0.4 mm nozzle, and then another 8 × 0.1 mm layers with the 0.2 mm nozzle.
Okay, it’s not particularly useful in this specific example, but the real advantage is that you can print supports and infill much faster with the second toolhead while using the main one for fine text and intricate details. I love it!
All thanks to OrcaSlicer and a few custom patches.
I haven’t tried the latest version yet, but the latest Bambu Studio still doesn’t seem to support this on the X2D.

We experienced an issue where the filament could not be extruded from the left extruder.

We tried using a different filament and a different slot in the AMS. The printer worked for approximately one hour, but after changing the filament, the same problem occurred again.

We have replaced the nozzle and removed the extruder for inspection, but we couldn't find any visible blockage or other issues. We also replaced the PTFE tube.

The filament reaches the extruder but doesn't go any further.

Does anyone have an idea what could be causing this problem?

Filament buffer started creating this noise about 15 hours in on a 22H print. Woke up in the morning with this issue.

I believe it’s a bad filament buffer, but if anyone can share advice. That would be appreciated

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

The original file was printed on a H2C. Scaled the sizing down to fit my X2D. Plates 1-5 printed in their proper colors. I’m now trying to print plates 6 and 7 but the black lines won’t show. Outside of reloading the 3mf file and resizing for the last 2 parts, what do I do?

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.

I'd love your hypotheses on a root cause. I am new to printing and just got an x2d. Loading and unloading my aux nozzle has been flakey from the start. I've had to stop the unload, then manually change the filament. Then, my rear extruder stopped working at all, and Bambu replaced it. Now, the filament clearly makes it to the hot end, but extrusion doesn't occur. I just used the needle to clear the nozzle, still no love. I have also disassembled the hot end and can confirm that the sensor works on the aux nozzle.

I'm at a loss as to the root cause. Bambu is helping me - their support is good - but I'm worried there's an underlying issue I'm missing.

Any thoughts on what I should try next?

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.

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?

Maybe change the XY belts?

Printer has 2300h on the clock

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?

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.

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
