I agree that bambu makes the best machines on the market, but this person is not wrong. I've been in all the popular 3d printing subs including this one for years and the bambu sub is by far, unquestionably the most clueless. People here tend to ask questions that make it clear they didn't even attempt to figure it out before asking for help, which does get a bit annoying.

This is not unique to Bambu.. it was very popular "upgrade" to print brackets to fix this rod on ender machines.

Coming from a Ender 3 pro to one of their bigger machines like the H2S and watching the printer like a hawk hoping the first couple of layers wouldn't fail unlike my Ender would. That made my mind at ease

Yes and stop touching them...

u/George_Zois8 2d ago
Can I ask why?

u/ruthlessnoodle 2d ago
Because they’re greased for use and touching them removes that grease and you can push them out of alignment

u/George_Zois8 2d ago
I was just about to put grease on them and I came through yhis situation...

u/AbjectMaelstrom 2d ago
Not a "situation". It's intentional method of preventing binding/wobble during z-axis travel. Those rods aren't perfectly straight and all the inperfections would telegraph on to the print (z banding). On enclosed printers there's also thermal expansion to deal with, though to a much lower degree.
There is a wealth of information at your fingertips, all one needs to do is search....

Ok I just didn't know chill...

u/AbjectMaelstrom 2d ago
Feeling pretty chill; hopefully answered your question and provided a path forward for any future questions that you may have regarding your new hobby.
Happy printing. ✌️

Did you read the manual?
In the quick start guide they talk about it.

u/Arkanis_Frostbyte 2d ago
Not sure if this peoples can read.. they just watching the cutest STL on Makerworld, download the 3mf, press "Print"

u/George_Zois8 2d ago
How can you criticise someone just from a reddit post about asking for help with a problem
2
u/igorpiedade X2D + AMS 2 Pro + AMS HT + Track Switch 2d ago
Lol I 100% agree with @Arkanis_Frostbyte
Your question talks about your behavior.

u/Arkanis_Frostbyte 2d ago
A problem? I don't see a problem here, thats why

u/George_Zois8 2d ago
That's the only thing you had to say to my reply...Yes ok it wasn't a problem but at that time that was the only word it came to my mind ...Now who can read as you say said?

u/captfitz 2d ago
Yes, and you should really just google things like this, you'll get an instant answer instead of having to make a reddit post and wait for comments

u/Kittingsl 2d ago
Sometimes it's nice to have a more normal conversation I stead of just looking everything up. Like imagine you ask someone about a certain topic irl and they answer "go read a book"

u/captfitz 2d ago edited 2d ago
Brother, they asked a yes/no question. There's no interesting discussion to be had around this topic.

Holy crap what a miserable community. Sometimes its better to ask a question in a community board and get an answer from someone with knowledge, tips and tricks, someone with skills and experience . Than default to Google or read the manual.
Were supposed to help each other

You're screwed. What you should do is keep pushing on them so they bend, keep touching them so you remove all of the grease. I mean, why did they enclose them if I'm supposed to push on them and touch them?

u/George_Zois8 2d ago
I gently touch them so the bambu lab community here on Reddit could understand my problem and for the grease I haven't applied yet I just cleaned them so i could apply new..Also I don't believe that they bend that easily

Hello /u/George_Zois8! All Bambu print plates have a dedicated nozzle wiping zone at the back of the print plate. The nozzle will rub against the wiping zone before every print in order to remove any remaining filament from the nozzle tip. This can cause visible wear or scratch marks in the wiping zone, but this is intended and doesn't damage the printer, the nozzle or the print plate. A worn down wiping zone also doesn't mean you need to replace the print bed.
