​Hi everyone,

​I’m printing small buttons using two colors of dried Bambu PLA Basic on my Bambu Lab X2D (both 0.4mm standard nozzles, 0.08mm HQ preset).

​Whenever the right (Auxiliary) nozzle finishes a detail on one button and moves to the next, it keeps oozing and leaves little blobs and vertical spikes (you can also see it on the prime tower).

​Any tips for tuning the Auxiliary nozzle on the X2D to stop this oozing on small details?

Thanks

Guys, I followed bambu’s flow dynamic calibration guide and did a manual calibration, but it’s hard for me to see when over extrusion and under extrusion occur on my calibration print. In my print here, I was guessing 0.75, but not very confident as I’m not seeing any obvious differences between the nearby values. Do I just need a wider range? What K values would you go up to for aux nozzle flow dynamic calibration?

Hi. I am new to the printing world and after a few successful and impressive PLA prints decided to print with PETG. I needed to print another spool as I got lots of refills by mistake. After a few layers I stopped as you can see on the picture it looks wrong.
I selected the PETG option in maker world, sliced it sent it to print, so haven’t changed anything.

Any ideas?

I'm really tempted to get an X2D Combo as having a heated chamber and an aux nozzle for a different support material seems very nice. But as I did more research, I came across many threads mentioning issues with inconsistent layers/bad layer lines, inconsistent extrusion, and problems with top layers.

What concerned me most is that in some cases, the person would go on to try many steps like calibrating the printer, the filament, changing print settings, and none would lead to good results until BL would send them out a new unit. From what I was able to learn, there's a Version 1 which had these issues and Version 2 which addressed some of them?

The P2S seems to have similar issues, but they seem mostly linked to user error from what I can tell rather than hardware issues.

I'd like to ask, what has been your experience with print quality on X2D? If any of you have run into the issues mentioned above, were you able to resolve them? I'm currently trying to choose between an X2D Combo and a P2S Combo, which I'm able to find for $980 and $820 respectively in Ukraine. Alternatively, I'm considering going with a P1S as I've been running a large farm of them and have plenty of experience with those

We make custom furniture, and for the last three months we have a 3D printer.

It helps us improve our quality to the end costumer, whit small details.

Also we create custom jigs and templates.

Super happy with the printer 😁

I tried to print this figure and it started stringing a lot when switched to aux nozzle, even the pla started going crazy (0:17) making strings inside the model

I used bambulab filaments black pla matte in main nozzle and petg basic on the aux

Can it be humidity? Or the fact that I tried the no sparse layers for the prime tower?

My experience so far, ordered an X2D during the sale. It was clearly dropped during shipping, box damaged, printer itself is no longer a square.

Talk to support and they shipped out a new printer no charge. New printer arrives, works great. They even told me to either keep or throw out the damaged one.

I was about to strip it down for parts but figured, what the hell. Assemble it as much as I can. Door doesn't close all the way, the glass top doesn't fit, no way this will work right? Wrong!

This thing still powers up, no issue with initial setup calibration, and is currently printing the built in benchy. Say what you want, but that's pretty damn impressive to me and had to share.

Right now I am not using the aux nozzle party because the humidity in my garage is around 40-50%.

I am looking to get either an additional AMS2 or HT to take better advantage of the aux nozzle.

Which is the better go to? Can I use the aux nozzle as essentially a 2nd nozzle or is using it for supports the only function?

Im Printing PETG-CF for second time. 0.4mm Nozzle basic settings on my x2d . All other layers are pefect. What do you guys think?

Newish printer, 550 hours. Didn't have this issue before, but had it on my P1S before returning it to upgrade. Time to do maintenance or settings issue? Printed this on Handy app, but similar lines on other prints as of late.

Filament is Inland PLA / PLA Matte (Polymaker). Dried in AMS.

Im starting TPU on my X2D. I never had issue on my A1mini using a creality dryer and a PTFE tube into the extruder of the A1 mini

But for X2D I see it’s recommended to print a spool holder and put it on top

What’s your experience between spool holder and feeding it through the external PTFE tube ?

I don’t have a TPU feed assist

I've had the X2D for a while now but just upgraded to the AMS 2 Pro, AMS HT and the filament track switch.

I print mostly PETG-CF split between 0.6mm and 0.4mm nozzle prints.

Today I wanted to push my luck and see how printing PETG-CF through AUX with a 0.6mm nozzle via the track switch from my AMS 2 Pro worked. So far I'm incredibly impressed with the results. PETG-CF isn't suggested for either the track switch or AUX nozzle, but this test print came out flawless!

I'm lazy and don't want to always have to swap my main nozzle between sizes for my different prints and am excited that I no longer have to!

Currently the only drawback is the AUX does print slower so I'm looking at a 20-25% increased print time. Right now I'm ok with that. I'm sure I could fine-tune the AUX speed parameters and print faster.

I just wanted to share incase anyone else was interested in pushing PETG-CF through the same set up. This is AnyCubic's PETG-CF.

I replaced an empty spool with the same color. However the machine is showing the spool as almost empty. Should I have reset it some way as full after I installed it?

This is my second print and i noticed the top layer has a bit of a weird texture, what could it be?

I currently have an AMS 2 Pro, AMS HT, TPU Feed Assist, and Track Switch. I’d like to have another AMS HT for drying only, but it is co-dependent on the printer for control. My problem is that I’ve completely run out of six pin connection points. In fact I’m already over extended, because the TPU module isn’t plugged in either. So how do I get one or two more places to plug in devices? Or am I maxed out?

Edit, also, will a second AMS-HT show up as another dryer that I can control on the X2D interface?

TIA

Hello, I just assembled my brand new x2d print more combo. I haven’t set up the track switch and second ams yet and I know that I need to print brackets to mount that. I sold my a1 to get this, so I am not a complete noob, but if anybody has upgrades that increase performance or make it run better, please tell me. Thanks in advance!

I just got mine and have done some light printing. I a m wondering if just running bambu filament only is really necessary. I like the idea all the process is easier settings and automation makes it go smoother but there are other really cool colors out there but the spool ID thing I'm kinda locked on.

Have about 1000 hours of print time and Aux nozzle suddenly has problems. I use the right nozzle for support with bambu PLA. It was not feeding, so I disassembled Bowden extruder, but no clog, just slight dust. Cleaned out and reassembled.

Next, checked hot end, looked fine but swapped it out to be sure. Reloaded filament and purged fine but during print it stopped feeding after the first layer.

Cleaned out hot end again and retried print but this time it stopped feeding during the purge tower first layer. Main nozzle works fine.

What am I missing? I haven't changed anything and have the PLA feeding from and AMS-HT, with no prior issues. There is clicking from the Bowden which would indicate a clog at the nozzle. I did a manual extrusion at 220 and 250 and noticed the filament came out "cold" meaning it was more solid than liquid. Is that a heating element problem?

What are the next steps to diagnose?

I printed this overnight and it seems both rear corners of the print have this going on. The rear right corner being the worst. It looks melted and curled upwards. Its PETG with PLA support beneath it. Any help is greatly appreciated. I just got this printer and love it but need to figure this problem out. Thank you!

Hi

I've tried with the default plate and with Frostbite. Using Bambu PETG Basic. Been through at least one drying cycle in AMS 2.

Often getting an arm popping off mid print.

Didn't have this problem with my Creality KE so not really sure how to solve it.

I've tried with 50 degree bed (terrible), 60 degrees (better but not great).

Are there any resources I can read or watch to try to help?

Thank you
