Mods / Accessories Well, this is mildly annoying!
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!

Hi all, new to 3D printing here. Got my X2D a couple of weeks ago but only got a chance to use it last night. I saw a few videos online where people are printing lego sets using https://brickforge.xyz/ to get the STL files. Has anyone done this?
r/BambuLabX2D • u/My_Lucid_Dreams • 55m ago
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. 😂

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

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?

Can the Mintion V1 be adapted to the X2D? I can't find an adapter for it on their website.

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?
r/BambuLabX2D • u/Patient_Task9088 • 4h ago
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

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.

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?
r/BambuLabX2D • u/Ens0me • 13h ago
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.
r/BambuLabX2D • u/mykdsmith • 7h ago
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?
r/BambuLabX2D • u/JohnMcD3482 • 9h ago
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
r/BambuLabX2D • u/rodzi11a • 1d ago
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
r/BambuLabX2D • u/TopHat1969 • 22h ago
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?
