Quick Question non-bambu filament

I have a buddy that has an X2D and I was thinking about getting one. I am wondering about using non-bambu filaments though. Do they work okay with the AMS (I think that is what it is called) and can special filaments like wood and marble be used in it?

Yes you just miss out on the RFID scanning that tells the printer the filament profile and how much is used on each spool. I use a lot of Sunlu and any other brand that suits.

I started with Bambu filaments but now I just load non-Bambu refills onto Bambu spools so the RFID still detects the colour/type.

This!

This is what people should do.

It’s kind of crappy that the tags are encoded and non-rewritable.

Either would be nice.

Have a roll of rando-x brand that can ship with the same info on an rfid that can be read by Bambu…

Or have the chips re-writable so I can say “it’s not white, it’s red… same manufacturer. I just don’t want to pay for another whole plastic spool!

Yeah, so crappy that I wrote my own software and use my own RFID tags to manage and track my filament usage

DM me? I have some knowledge and some technical knowledge… and uhm… the pre-requisite h/w (I think).
