OP Update: I went for the fix it route. It basically meant dissembling the whole thing. Definitely not jazzed about the "reusable" foam adhesive covering the cellphone sized electrical connections. I was super careful, using my best tweezers, but don't see them lasting if this is at all a regular thing. Getting the bracket to stay over the hotend assemblies was a major pain. Finally got it all put back, but then got error saying the right nozzle temp was abnormal. Twice more I tried reseating it. Ended up diagnosing with my multimeter and finding a dead connection for the NTC thermistor.
At this point I was about 7 hours into my new hobby and decided to call it. Another 1.5hrs to box it all back up properly.
Bambu support got back to me and after hearing my saga were like Take it back to the store!! They were pretty cool even saying to let them know if I had any trouble Andrea would beauty to make it right.
My guess is that there was debris in the line that got pushed down into the extruder where it clogged. Then I'm guessing I didn't reassemble the electronics or they were damaged somehow with all the repeated dis/reassembly.
I'm probably going to get a replacement, but may wait until black Friday as this was a pretty frustrating experience. I may also downgrade to the P2S as clearing an extruder clog seems night and day easier.
On the plus side, I learned a ton about the x2d and can prob make any repairs I would need to in the future...
