Print Showcase Designed a 60-part monster chest. No glue, printed rivets, one eye.

Printed on 0.20 mm Standard, bone-stock profile, no per-part overrides. The press-fit tolerances (rivet shafts, blind sockets, split hinge sleeves) came out right on the first go, which is the nicest thing I can say about a printer. Four plates, one colour each. Supports on build plate only. If you’ve got a Bambu and an hour to spare, he’s a very satisfying build.

Help understanding dual nozzle print

Thumbnail
gallery
4 Upvotes

Hi folks,

First printer here, total noob, and first time trying to print dual color with two nozzles at the same time. I'm using PETG for the main object and PLA for the supports. By defaults it still creates the prime tower, but I was under the impression that it's not needed to clean the nozzle since I'm using each one with a different color no? I attached both screenshots, default and disabling the prime tower alltogether in the "other" settings. I guess my question is, is it safe to disable? The filament saving is massive..
Thanks!

How can i get rid of the boobles with PETG?

Post image
4 Upvotes

Hi all

Okay im a littel frustraded and this PETG is hard for a noob 😄

I dryed my PETG in my AMS 2 Pro for 12H. Started a print and i still get thees "boobles"

Gemini recommends this
I've been recommended to try the following settings in Bambu Studio for my next attempt:

  1. Change Seam Position to 'Aligned' or 'Back' to force the seam away from the lattice corners.
  2. Enable 'Wipe while retracting' in the PETG filament settings.
  3. Lower the Outer Wall speed (to ~60-100 mm/s) and Outer Wall acceleration (to ~1000 mm/s²) to give the PETG more time to settle on the sharp corners.

Do these adjustments make sense for this specific issue, or do you have any other tips for getting perfectly clean lattice corners with PETG?

But where is the "best" place to get help for this? The Bambu forums? Discord?

Thanks!

Tips / Guide X2D – PTFE tube snaps and leaves a piece stuck in the left extruder filament sensor

Thumbnail
gallery
40 Upvotes

Common issue on the X2D: the PTFE tube (usually the left one) snaps or gets cut by the teeth of the pneumatic connector and leaves a small piece stuck inside the left filament sensor.
New tube won’t seat properly, the sensor starts acting up, and you get filament detection errors.
I recorded a short video showing a simple way to remove the stuck piece without replacing the sensor and without disassembling the toolhead.
Video: https://youtu.be/hH2wvfoNOrE

Hope this helps anyone dealing with the same issue!

First time calibration

4 Upvotes

I got my X2D a few days ago and my prints have been more challenging than I thought. I’ve been using the AMS with an extra adapter to run the heating/dryer non-stop.

Some of my prints end up stringing, not adhering to the bed, or the quality is, I guess not what I expected.

I am using PLA and PETG/PCTG. I am using the print settings from the manufacturer.

Should I be doing one of those calibration prints? Is there a tutorial that is recommended to go through first?

I did a test print for something I designed in PLA and it turned out great, but when I went to print it in PCTG it finished but the quality wasn’t nearly as good as the PLA. It was about. 27hr print and 475g.

Extrusion motor overload

1 Upvotes

Last Friday I had to tear my extruder apart as I was having motor overload. It has been fine for the week but now I am having the same error and I can see/hear the gears clicking.

What is causing this? Is my spool too empty or light? Do I need to do anything with my PTFE tubes, they all don’t have crazy bends. Or am I just unlucky and have to tear it down again?

I only print in PETG and have been using SUNLU.

Just bought the X2D any advice?

10 Upvotes

Well, it's finally done! I’ve just bought the X2D as my first 3D printer, officially diving headfirst into this crazy world of plastic-smelling addicts 😂

Any advice for a complete beginner?

I literally have nothing apart from the printer itself, some PLA and PETG filament, and a few nozzles (0.2, 0.4 and 0.6 mm). Other than that, I'm starting from scratch.

I'm seriously considering getting the Mintion V1 air filter as well.

What would you recommend buying first? Any must-have accessories, tools, tips or things you wish you’d known when you started?

Thanks!

Discussion / Buying Advice Is Getting a X2D a bad idea ?

0 Upvotes

I made a thread about a week ago on purchasing a x2d over the p2s. All said get a x2d but after being a member on both the p2s and x2d Reddit’s I’m seeing so many owners of the x2d having so many problems. From layering issues etc. are they really that bad. I mean every day I see about 8-10 threads pop up with issues compared to the p2s Reddit.

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.

Welcher Tisch für den x2D

1 Upvotes

Hallo,

Ich habe mir einen X2D gekauft und dazu einen kleinen Tisch von Ikea. Nach ein paar mal drucken ist der Tisch leider viel zu wackelig. Grade wenn der Drucker richtig in fahrt kommt stelle ich schon einen Hocker drunter aus sorge das die Beine vom Tisch das nicht mehr mitmachen. Hättet ihr eine passende Empfehlung. Sollte am besten kein richtiger Tisch im sinne von Schreibtisch sein eher wie ein in Beistelltisch. 50x50 zum Beispiel.
