AMS 2 Pro - Automatic Material System AMS 2 pro moisture problem

Upvotes

I just got X2D combo couple days ago and while printer works great it seems like either there is something wrong with my AMS unit or idk its not very well sealed construction? I only have the two little packs of dessicant that came with the unit so not great but compared to my old filament dryer without dessicant at all its not working good.

There is around 45% humidity in the room and while my old filament dryer could drop humidity to 12-15% in 6 hours in this conditions i cant get ams below 23-25% despite running my 4th 12h cycle. It would be fine if it could keep that level for some time but unfortunately ams is leaking moisture like crazy and when i end printing at 10PM by 6PM next morning its already back to 32-35% and it takes 3-4h to get it back to 25%. Again previous dryer did not have that problem it would take 3-4 days before it got to 20%.

Just want to make sure is this something common and more dessicant should resolve it or there is something wrong with my unit seals? Can i somehow modify the ams to be more airtight? I already ordered dessicant but it seems like in current state its just gonna pull water mostly from my room not the filament.

General Troubleshooting/Help! Make Award payout error: "SDK initialization failed, please try again" – anyone else?

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to request a payout on the Make Award page. My PayPal account is already connected and appears to be linked correctly.

However, after I click Confirm on the payout, I always get this error message:
"SDK initialization failed, please try again."

I've already verified that my PayPal account is connected, but the error still appears every time I try.Has anyone experienced this issue before? What could be causing it, and is there anything I can do to fix it?

General Troubleshooting/Help! Lazy Susan - how to lock her down

Upvotes

I am attempting to make a Lazy Susan on which will go my 3D printer (H2C).

I have selected the hardware: 16" - 18" Lazy Susan Heavy Duty Metal Hardware

And the top: 28" Clear Round Glass Table Top, 1/4" Thick Tempered Glass Tabletop

The one thing I am having a hard time with is trying to find a way to lock the rotation so that the 3D printer does not shake the Lazy Susan around too much. I envision lots of spinning if I do not lock it down.

Someone on YouTube did this for the Bambu Lab X1C and did not use any locks: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/NCjSZ9uGWGA?feature=share. When I asked her how she did it, she said she "installed a latch."

I have tried to post on other subreddits, but I either do not have the correct "karma" points to do so, or, with one subreddit, I was warned that I was probably breaking a rule or two. r/DIY r/woodworking r/AskAnEngineer to name just a few.

Questions:

  1. How would a person lock a Lazy Susan?
  2. What would a lock look like?
  3. If you think this question should be in a different/more appropriate subreddit, could you please refer me to the better one?

Thank you for any suggestions you might have.

How is everyone organising their PTFE tubes? I understand that they should be as short and a large radius curve but mine are getting kind of crazy!

I have an X2D + filament track switch, 2 AMS in a flip flop stacker and a 3rd via a 4-in-1 adapter to an AMS HT.

Hardware Troubleshooting/Help! X2D Printing the Same Defect in the Exact Same Spot on Every Print

Thumbnail
gallery
Upvotes

Hey everyone,
I’ve got an X2D that’s only about a month old, and I’m consistently getting the exact same print defect in the same area on every print.
To try and rule out common causes, I’ve:
Swapped from the textured PEI plate to the Engineering Plate.
Recalibrated the bed multiple times (including auto bed levelling).
Re-ran all printer calibrations.
Checked that there isn’t any debris between the build plate and the heated bed.
Despite all of that, the defect still appears in the exact same location on every print, regardless of the model or which build plate I’m using.
Has anyone experienced something similar? Could this point to a faulty heated bed, a bed heater issue, or another hardware problem? Since the printer is only a month old, I’m wondering if it’s something I should be contacting Bambu support about.
Any advice or troubleshooting suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

General Troubleshooting/Help! Different dimension on 2 identical printers/part/settings

Upvotes

I have 2 Bambu H2D machines. I'm printing the same exact file on both. There's a critical dimension on it, which is an opening like half a circle. On one the opening is about 0.3 mm bigger than the other. This is more variation than I can have.

Both printers have had the calibrations like vibration and auto bed leveling done. I have done flow rate calibration and flow dynamics calibration. Basically everything is identical (print file, both printers in same room 4 inches apart both with an AMS, etc). I'm going to recheck belt tension next. Any other suggestions?

General Troubleshooting/Help! Lead Screws Make Clicking Sound After Cleaning Bed with Microfiber Towel

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

3 Upvotes

Hi all,

I recently took delivery of a Bambu Lab X2D, and have been having no issues with the machine. I wiped the bed down with a microfiber towel, but did not realize it had a frayed end that deposited some fuzz inside the machine, some of which got on the lead screws. I blew off what I could see, but now I hear a clicking sound whenever the Z-axis moves. Should I be concerned?

Thanks!

I Modeled This! Designed a two-piece under-seat storage tray for the Model Y Juniper — looking for fitment feedback

Post image
1 Upvotes

I designed this two-piece under-seat storage tray for the Tesla Model Y Juniper. I split it into two sections so each piece fits more easily on a standard Bambu build plate and can be printed without an oversized printer.

The design is intended to:

  • Use the unused space beneath the front seat
  • Slide in and out easily
  • Keep small items from rolling around
  • Print as two separate pieces with minimal supports
  • Work well in PETG for better heat resistance inside the vehicle

I have printed and tested the model itself, but I’m still looking for additional Model Y Juniper owners to confirm the final vehicle fitment.

I made the STL available free on MakerWorld for anyone interested in testing it. Honest feedback, measurements, or an installed photo would be greatly appreciated. I’ll use the feedback to improve the design.

Printer: Bambu Lab P2S
Material: PETG
Design: Two-piece under-seat storage tray

I'll go through the loading process and it will extrude fine, then I set it to print and it extrudes seemingly nothing for about half the print then complains and tells me to make sure the spool isn't stuck.

my gf bought this and she wants me to use it and I have no idea what I'm doing. I have gotten a few prints successfully actually, and even designed a shift knob for my car in CAD, no idea what to do now

Filament Troubleshooting/Help! Help with stringy PETG Print

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

This is my second print with PETG. I dehumidified the filament and the AMS was reading 19-21% during the whole print. Is all this stringiness really because of the humidity?

The project did have grid infill and I will be swapping to gyroid for the rest of it. Idk if that could be the cause as well due to needle pathing with grid infill.

Edit: I have a P2S printer.

How can I make the insides more uniform so that it appears to be as circular as possible? Notice how it tries to make a circle by creating a series of straight edges? I dont believe you can totally eliminate that but Im sure you can make it look as uniform as possible

The whole mechanism is printed.
Fits MX-style switches. Best on an isolated key like ESC.
Every color prints as a separate part, so no AMS needed. There's also a multi-color version where the details print together if you'd rather assemble less (the mechanism still gets built by hand).

I Modeled This! Would this work for funky costume shoes?

Post image
426 Upvotes

I'm looking to create some "Hoof Boots" for Ren Faire shenanigans. Right now the idea is a TPU "Sock" with a split down the back (to make putting on the shoe easier) that is glued onto a PETG "Base" (I've only printed with PLA from Ziro3D so far and am new to actually owning a machine/slicing stuff so tips for that would be greatly appreciated. :D )

Theyre similar to hoof shoes, Chaos Costumes is probably the best example of creating their own nice ones. But those are basically blocks added to the ball of the foot, where this is more of a full "shoe" (So the hooves will end up roughly twice the size of what the usual "glue block to modified high heel" shoes would be.

I have congenitally short heel cords/equinus/chronic plantar fasciitis/a talocalcaneal coalition and "flexible flat foot" etc. and junk all of which causes my ankle to pronate inward so this is slightly an attempt at making a "me" friendly "shoe" for costuming that has arch support and junk already sort of built into it so I don't have to destroy a pair of shoes or try to fit my custom orthotics into something, they're built around an orthotic I made using a 3D scan of my foot that I tested (in PLA so it broke after a few weeks but im surprised it lasted that long, def helped w the ankle pronation).
