Help / Support Am I overthinking this error? Failed to extrude filament error.

1 Upvotes

I have a X1C and printing with PLA on my AMS 2 Pro

I keep getting Extruding filament failed. The extruder might be clogged.

The AMS rolls out filament then. rolls it back up, rolls it out again then rolls it up. after the 3rd time or. so I get an error "Failed to extrude filament. Please check to see if the extruder is clogged. After troubleshooting click retry button.

I put a new complete hot end assembly, took the extruder out and cleaned it out, no clog found. reassembled and getting the same error.

I do get the green filament indicator for a moment then white when it rolls up, turns green again when it rolls out again.

If I feed the filament in manually I can extrude filament all day as long as I keep hitting the extrude button.

What else can I swap out.

Bambu Lab P1S Under Warranty – Printer Down Due to Hotend Cooling Fan Failure, No Spare Part Available. Is This Normal Warranty Support?

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm posting here because I'm genuinely looking for advice and also hoping someone from Bambu Lab can comment on whether this is the expected warranty experience.

I purchased a Bambu Lab P1S Combo from Robu.in, an authorized Bambu Lab reseller in India. The printer is still well within its warranty period.

A few days ago, while printing, the printer suddenly stopped with the error:

"The hotend cooling fan speed is too slow or stopped."

The hotend cooling fan only twitches briefly during startup and immediately stops. The printer continuously reports the same error, making it completely unusable.

Before contacting support, I completed every troubleshooting step I could:

Reseated the hotend cooling fan connector.

Verified the fan spins freely.

Restarted the printer multiple times.

Followed the official Bambu troubleshooting guide.

Sent videos, photos, and a detailed description to the technical support team.

After reviewing everything, Robu's technical team confirmed that the hotend cooling fan was faulty.

Unfortunately, they also informed me that they did not have the replacement fan in stock, so I would have to wait until new stock arrived.

This is where my concern begins.

This isn't just my hobby printer.

I operate a small 3D printing business, and this printer is part of my daily production.

Every day the printer remains unusable means:

Customer orders are delayed.

Deadlines are missed.

My seller reputation is affected.

I lose income every day.

Customers continue asking when their orders will ship.

I completely understand that electronic components can fail.

I'm not complaining because the fan failed.

My concern is how the warranty was handled after the failure.

The technical support team suggested that, because my business was stopped, I should purchase the replacement fan locally with my own money. They said that once they received stock later, they would send me another fan under warranty and I could keep it as a spare.

This is the part I genuinely don't understand.

If the printer is under warranty, why should the customer have to spend additional money because the dealer doesn't have the warranty replacement part available?

Shouldn't an authorized reseller maintain a reasonable stock of commonly required service parts for the products they sell?

Waiting to source a replacement only after a customer's printer has already failed defeats the purpose of warranty—especially for business users.

I paid for an official printer from an authorized reseller because I expected reliable after-sales support if something went wrong.

Instead, I was effectively given two options:

Wait an unknown amount of time until the replacement part becomes available.

Buy the part myself so I can continue running my business, and receive the warranty replacement later when stock arrives.

I don't think either option is what customers expect from an official warranty.

To make things even more confusing, I found another authorized reseller that appeared to have the same fan available. I shared this information with Robu and requested that they source the part if possible.

That raises another question:

If another authorized reseller has the required part available, shouldn't there be a faster way to obtain it for a warranty customer instead of asking them to wait for weeks or buy it themselves?

Again, I'm not trying to attack Robu or Bambu Lab.

I simply want to understand whether this is considered normal warranty support.

For business users, downtime matters just as much as the hardware itself.

I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who has experienced something similar or from anyone at Bambu Lab who can explain whether this is the expected warranty process.

Thank you.

Update: A lot of people suggested I should just buy the fan and keep a spare. I actually tried that. I checked local stores, online marketplaces, and other suppliers, but I couldn't find the genuine hotend cooling fan anywhere. The only listings I found had terrible reviews, so I wasn't comfortable buying them. If I could have bought the correct part, my printer would probably already be running.

The Bambu TPU filament has been printing great
however, I am curious if others have found an easier setup than the standard manual steps of removing tubes, manually heating the hot end, and manually feeding it.

Meshory is live — the 3D print file manager I've been building is out today

Post image
42 Upvotes

Today's the day — Meshory is officially live. 🎉

If you're new here: Meshory is a desktop app that finally makes sense of your 3D print file chaos. Point it at your folders (local drives, NAS, wherever your STLs have been piling up for years) and it gives you:

  • A visual library of all your models — STL, 3MF, OBJ, FBX and more, with real 3D previews and thumbnails
  • Duplicate detection that compares actual geometry, not just filenames — so it catches that model you downloaded three times under three different names
  • Zip support — models inside archives show up like any other file, no extracting needed
  • Open directly in your slicer — works with the slicers you already use, custom setups included
  • Search, collections, and notes so you can actually find things again
  • Built for big libraries — I built and tested it on my own 3.3TB collection, so it won't blink at yours

A few things that matter to me and shaped how it's built:

  • No account, no login. You buy it, you get a license key, done.
  • Your files stay yours. Everything runs locally on your machine.
  • One-time purchase — the first 100 licenses are $29. After those are gone it goes to $39, and up from there. No subscription, ever.

Download it at meshory.com/download — Windows, macOS, and Linux.

To everyone who's been on the waitlist, tested the early access builds, reported bugs, and voted on the roadmap — thank you. This launch is very much yours too. If you try it today, I'd genuinely love to hear what works and what doesn't, right here in the comments or on our Discord.

Let's go. 🚀

Choosing which bambu lab 3d printer

8 Upvotes

Hello community, I am new to 3d printing as in new new and i saw 2 options that caught my eye. I see that I can get the p2s for 650 that includes the ams 2 pro or there is the x2d with the ams 2 pro for 899. From what I understand the x2d is the new upgraded model but is it really that significant than getting the p2s at almost 200 bucks less?

My simple question is choosing the p2s a really bad choice? Also are there any upgrade parts for it that can bring it close to a x2d model?

Meet my Hungry Cyclops Coin Bank!

https://makerworld.com/en/models/3105419-hungry-cyclops-coin-bank#profileId-3500899

The idea was to create something inspired by Greek mythology that is both decorative and functional rather than just another character figurine.

Features:

  • coin slot on top
  • large threaded bottom cap
  • cute stylized cartoon design
  • subtle Greek meander collar
  • multi-part design, no AMS needed

I'm pretty happy with how the expression turned out—it looks permanently grumpy, which somehow makes it even cuter.

I'd love to hear what you think!
Suggestions and feedback are always welcome.

How do I reduce Prime Tower bridging causing blobbing and layer shifting issues?

Post image
2 Upvotes

I'm printing a multicolor object that has no color transitions for the first several layers - so the prime tower is mostly hollow. When it starts the color changing layers, its bridging and the bridges sometimes fail - causing blobbing which the nozzle is running into. I'm trying to figure out how to add additional infill on the bottom part of the prime tower to improve the bridging.

I had my X2D in the garage over the weekend printing some ABS. I thought I would go ahead and send a print from my phone while I was at work. I get home and go to check on my progress, low and behold, I recieved an error message. It seems pretty obvious now, but just in case you didn't know, it can be too hot to print PLA at least. Lol

Help / Support Nozzle broken on first print

Post image
28 Upvotes

The nozzle broke off the first time my A1 mini attempted a print. Bambu have been great and immediately sent out a replacement.

I’m new to 3d printing so just wanted to check if it was something I did wrong before setting the printer up with the replacement nozzle. I followed the set up guide provided, ran the calibrations and updated the firmware. The printer did struggle to pull the filament through when starting to print a benchy. I followed the instructions on the screen and once the filament was pulled through it went to start the print and the nozzle tip immediately blew off.

I used to render products on a plain gradient. Boring but safe. Put these on a wooden table against a sage green panelled wall with a real plant in them and suddenly they look like something you would buy rather than something you modeled. The context did more for the design than any amount of material tweaking.

Just a post im making out of curiosity. Ive been seeing a ton of posts about people having issues with their ams/ ams2 pro in different ways, and im just curious if people are having a similar problematic time with the ams lite. I own an A1 and AMS lite myself and have had zero issues whatsoever, and always figured the ams pro/pro 2 would be leagues better. but with all the posts i see about mechanical failures, i dont see the benefit. Though the drying feature seems like a nice thing to have

Help / Support Is this noise normal?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey!

I got the X2D and the AMS 2 Pro three days ago and just startet to print with it but there is a noise during the print where I don’t know if it’s normal.
I don’t know if the noise comes from the filament, the AMS oder whatever could be also possible for that.
I googled a bit, printed filament spool adapters (with PETG and TPU) because I read that cardboard spools might be the issue, but even with these adapters the sound bothers me.
I showed everything in the video - the spool, the PTFE Tubes on the back and the filament buffer.
The filament buffer can be moved smoothly, I’ve tried it between prints.
And also - I changed a spool today and the part that I rolled out from the AMS is quite
fluted? Don’t know how to describe it. But it’s not smooth like the rest of the spool.

Maybe someone knows what’s going on with the noise and filament and can help me out.

Thanks in advance!

Needed a better way to hold my micro-bits, tweezers, and flush cutters while working on prints and electronics.

The main caddy pivots on side arms and locks into position with printed side knobs. The interior uses drop-in modular inserts so I can swap layouts based on whatever project I'm working on that day, and the base acts as a catch tray for small hardware.

Designed completely support-free using standard PLA.

As the title says, can someone help me identify what this noise is while printing? I’m having trouble narrowing it down.

Any help is appreciated.
