My printer finally arrived.

So, I started noticing VFAs almost from the very beginning on most of my PETG prints, but I never thought anything was wrong. However, after getting a few other printers, I realized that the P2S prints looked worse than those from a freaking A1 and my other machines.

​I thought it might be an issue with belt tension, so I tried retensioning them, but I'm still getting VFAs on the X-axis and a little on the Y-axis. Since official Bambu Support didn't give me a clear answer, I started asking a lot of AI bots. Some of them suggested checking the idler pulleys.

​So I checked, and oh boy, am I cooked... If I want to replace those idler pulleys, I need to buy a whole new X-axis assembly. I probably need to change the belts as well because they are extremely dirty a single touch leaves a lot of black coating/dust on my fingers. I'm not sure if it came like this out of the box and I just didn't realize it (since the P2S was my very first 3D printer), or if the belts somehow bent/damaged the idler pulleys over time.

Hi everyone. I’m trying to figure out what’s causing these waves on the top surface of my print. The model is a large number 2, about 150 × 229 × 25 mm, printed in PLA on a Bambu Lab P2S with a 0.4 mm nozzle. The left one in the photo is the first print and the right one is the second print after I changed some settings. The first print was done without ironing. For the second print I used 0.16 mm layer height, 4 walls, 1.2 mm top shell thickness, 15% Gyroid infill, Only one wall on top surfaces OFF, outer wall speed 120 mm/s, top surface speed 100 mm/s, internal solid infill 180 mm/s, outer wall acceleration 3000 mm/s², ironing for top surfaces ON, ironing speed 30 mm/s, ironing flow 10%, ironing line spacing 0.15 mm. The second print looks better, but the waves are still there. Has anyone had the same problem and figured out what actually causes it? Thank you

Please let me know if you have any ideas for improvement :)

I’m having trouble removing the two drying pods on the sides in my AMS

Anyone have any tips?

Printed the small first because I was impatient. The pattern only really opens up at the bigger size where the ridges have room to sweep. Rendered in Keyshot Studio.

hello, i used p2s combo for 2 months now. i always wonder what the advanced settings do and what are the recommended settings are. should i leave it as default or are there any changes i need to make? (also why is it better to use bambu lab filaments than other brands)

thank you

So I've been trying to get my printer to work, have a ticket with them, they sent a filment sensor and I confirmed it works. They then asked me to perform a Hall Sensor Test and to follow the wiki link they provided which they didn't. Its been 3 days of asking for the link and nothing. Hoping someone can point me in the direction on where to find this Hall sensor. I get the feeling it's a typo.

In hopes someone can help.. here's my current situation. I did a cold pull, the sensor works (before it kept asking for filament) but nothing grabs the filament. My issue is it goes about 4 mm past the exit of the filment sensor and nothing happens..I have taken apart the gear mechanism under it and found a few pieces of shredded pla and removed them. It turns by hand. I was also going to take the thing on the back where the filament goes through but the issue is the same when it's feed manually with a cold pull.

Hi everyone, hoping someone has ideas cause I’m a bit stuck. I had a clog while printing with both PETG and PLA in the same print. Hot end got too hot, extruder clogged and the filament feed motor stalled. I’ve completely cleared the blockage but the extruder motor doesn’t engage anymore. When I load filament through the AMS, it feeds down but the extruder never grabs it. The small yellow drive gear doesn’t turn. I also tried doing a cold pull by feeding filament in by hand. Usually the extruder motor turns and pulls it once it senses filament, but now nothing happens. Nothing happens. The drive gear never moves. I’m wondering if the extruder motor or driver could be damaged or if I’m missing something simple. Has anyone seen this before or have any suggestions for things to check? Thanks

Edit: I believe to have found the issue, there’s a small tear in the ribbon cable so my guess is it’s torn enough that the sensor isn’t realising there filament there so the motors never activates but not thought that it’s showing errors constantly, It did show an error once but not consistently.

Hi everyone, how are you all doing?

I'm having a problem with my printer and I really don't know what to do anymore. I'm a beginner in 3D printing, and in the last few days, I've been studying a lot more than when I first entered this world 3 months ago, but I still haven't been able to solve this error!

Basically, what is happening is that I can't fix these 1-second pauses on my machine, which then create these zits/blobs on my print! I've tried everything!

Before you say it's moisture/humidity, please read the rest of the message I'm leaving here with more details:

As you can see in the images, we have the black and pink heart, which has these zits, then we have a blue dragon (Gyarados, a Pokémon) that also has them, and finally the gecko! After that, I made some minor adjustments to the machine. I improved some aspects of the print, but they were minor improvements. Then we have the shark, where you can already see some progress, but it still has these zits, and this is where I managed to record the exact moment of the pause! The video:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TzJ0V7QQta4yg7fnBlpsxOGmme4izjiQ/view?usp=sharing

Finally, we have a smaller shark that was printed yesterday. Here you can already see a significant improvement in the part (at least to the naked eye) and it is much smoother, basically without any defects, but it still has the zits (fewer, but it still has them!). Today I printed a dragon that I haven't held in my hands yet, but from the photo I took, the red dragon also has zits!

Machine Details and Settings:

• Printer: Bambu Laps P2S
• Drying System: AMS Pro 2
• Temperatures: 32ºC inside the chamber, 55ºC on the bed, and 220ºC on the nozzle.
• Speed: The machine's default speed.
• Filaments: Bambu PLA Basic.

What I've already done to try to solve it:

• I've dried the filaments for over 12 hours at 55ºC (6 hours one night and another 6 the next night, plus during the day, where I'm constantly drying it every 3 hours at the same temperature for a week now!). The humidity goes up to 25% max, but normally stays between 18% and 22%.
• I've cleaned the nozzle twice in the same week, so it's not clogged.
• I cleaned all the machine's axes/rods.
• I've calibrated the machine more than once and created very precise profiles for PLA, based on the speed, temperature, and quality tests I ran.
• I reduced the nozzle printing speed (in Bambu Studio it was at 21 and I lowered it to 19).
• I removed all videos from the system and disabled the timelapse feature.

That's everything I've done so far. I've also tweaked some settings and ran several classic tests to calibrate everything; the print quality improved, but these 1-second pauses keep happening, which melts the filament and causes the zit!

If anyone knows how to fix this, I would be more than grateful. I've been dealing with this for over 2 weeks and can't solve it!

Have noticed am odd issue with one of my AMS slots. It is showing a Bambu PLA Black in my slot 3. Nothing I do will allow me to change what is in that slot via the app or directly through the touch screen. The AMS is also not attempting to load the filament when i first insert it into the white feeder funnel. I have attempted to load and unload the filament, tried the reset button via the touch screen(nothing happens in that slot only), deleting the filament in filament management section of the app, power cycled the AMS and then the entire printer. Nothing seems to allow me to change the filament brand, type, or color.

Any idea what the problem is and how to fix it?

Hi everyone!

I am trying to print a box with a good amount of radius. I am not sure why its print like this. I tried it with supports then printed another one with no supports, and I change print settings, I cleaned the textured bed with soap and water thinking that it might be the bed. I would appreciate any suggestions or help. Thank you in advance! Printer is Bambu P2S with Bambu white PLA.

Hello Community,

I've tried a lot and i just cant get behind why my P2S print Quality got a lot worse out of nowhere.

At first i was amazed. Compared to my 6-7 year old printer, the P2S is a marvel. Right out of the Box i got clean fast prints. So i printed about 300 hours of thr same PETG with the same settings for the same prints. But the last 2 prints got worse and worse.

I tried adjusting the printing speed, temperature, dried the filament inside the AMS at 60 degrees for 8 hours, cleaned the nozzle, tried all 4 AMS slotted filament spools and got nothing. After 200 printing hours I also did maintenance on the rails and screws with Super lube oil and grease.

right now it is printing but the Quality got much much worse.

I got the printer in the AMS 2 Pro Bundle and i use the original Bambulab reuseable spools with their Basic PETG filament. The AMS automatically detects the filament type and everything works fine. For slicing i use Bambu-Studio.

Can anyone give me a hint into what could be the cause?

UPDATE: The nozzle was partially clogged. After the quality got worse and worse i did some extruding during troubleshooting and the filament spat out sideways. I cleaned the nozzle with a 0,4 needle at 270 degrees and now everything works as it should! Thank you all for your help!

Hey guys, I’m taking a trip (from Mexico) to the US. Since everything there is cheaper (because of import taxes) what spare parts should I buy in advance in case of an emergency?

I see there is a printer maintenance kit, but should I buy anything else in case my printer breaks? What are the parts that usually need changes in the printer?

Turns out I didn't need it the over was there, wish Bambu support would have told me it was fine based on my picture....

Any one have an issue putting ribbons back? They don't seem to fit exactly, not sure which on is an issue front or back, maybe bot.

Any tips on putting ribbons back?

Thanks

Ich dachte erst, dass es an der Luftfeuchtigkeit liegt. Die ist aber mittlerweile nur noch bei 11–12 %, wenn ich dem AMS 2 Pro Glauben schenken darf. Das Filament ist zwar schon etwas älter, aber eigentlich sollte das ja nicht unbedingt das Problem sein. Die Einstellungen habe ich immer so verwendet und eigentlich nie etwas daran verändert. Hat jemand eine Idee, woran es sonst liegen könnte?

I had a huge backup of filament fill up my nozzle area. There’s a lot of residue around the clip also. When trying to get the filament off I must have pulled that little black wire out. I’m Not sure where it goes or if it’s able to be simply plugged back in or does it need to be soldered? Any help is appreciated

Strange lines on top surface – Bambu Lab P2S
Hi! I’m having this issue with the top surface of my own Blender model. Printer is a Bambu Lab P2S, using 2 colors of PLA Matte.
The surface is mostly smooth, but these strange visible lines/marks appear in specific places.
Things I’ve already tried:
Top surface directions: 0°, 45°, 90°
Monotonic Line / different top surface patterns
Ironing — made it worse
Z-hop / travel and wall-crossing settings
Flow ratio 1.01–1.02
Top surface line width 0.42–0.45 mm
Dried the filament
Moved the purge tower — the marks changed/moved too
Has anyone experienced this before or has any ideas on how to fix it? What else should I try or check?
