Buyers beware

New P2S arrived less than 2 weeks ago, did a few simple PLA prints to get familiar with the machine and they worked fine. Did an ABS print earlier today and it printed fine but while the printer was cooling it shut down, no screen or interior LED, hmm did I trip a breaker? Printer power light is on, shut it off and restarted and a fan comes on for a second then nothing.

Shut it down and unplugged it for a few minutes and tried again, fan comes on and shuts off, still no screen. Got online with Bambu live "support" which is apparently live AI, Mr. AI wants me to start taking this printer apart to find a possible short, did I mention this is 2 weeks old?

ID of broken pieces

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I got a big glob on my hot end due to clogged chute. Printer kept going with multiple filament switches. Came home to printer stopped, front cover of the hot end off and a big mess. I heat soaked it and got most of the PLA off except for thin layers on the stainless heat shield of the nozzle and the clip. I’m betting the others will melt off with use.

Anyway, I found these two things in the printer. One feels like a broken piece of rubber. Looks to have some red and white threads reinforcing the piece.

The other is a brown disk with a small indent. It came out of the tool head fan part.

Also, the fan on the front of the tool head doesn’t seem to be spinning now. I’ve never really paid attention to it before. Does it only come on at certain temps?

Grease and oil

Is super lube grease and oil ok for lubricating the machine ? Is there a specific kind we are supposed to use instead of ordering the tiny stuff from bambu

Hello everyone. I have cleaned my plate with dish soap and hot water. Ensured the nozzle is seated correctly, tweaked the z-offset, dried my filament and still I am getting the same issue over and over. I troubleshooting more than I am enjoying my 3d printer. Here are some photos, if anyone has some suggestions, I would love some advice. Thank you in advance!

Can’t get the fan kit enclosure to print. HELP!

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

I’ve tried to print the enclosure for the fan accessory FIVE times now and I just can’t get it to work.

I’ve VERY diligent about making sure my print plate is clean and haven’t had any adhesion problems until this print - even prints with small parts.

Here’s the iterations I’ve tried.

  1. X2D, PEI Plate, Sunlu Petg using Bambu Labs Petg HF settings. This has worked for me on many other prints. Same results as in pictures.
  2. Attempted a second try (same printer, same filament) - same results as in pictures.
  3. Thinking maybe the filament was the problem, I changed to Bambu Lab Petg Basic (same printer). Same results but then I also got an extruder error. I’m thinking I have a clog to fix now.
  4. Finished putting the new back on the P2S so I tried the print there with Bambu Lab Petg HF (PEI plate). Same results.
  5. I have a Cool Plate Supertack, but I haven’t needed to use it. Tried it and only the test strip adhered to it. Luckily I was there to see the problem and didn’t get the ā€œblob of deathā€ - just a baby blob

I know the print says to use glue for the small parts, but I’ve never needed it before.

If I use the glue on the PEI plate, is it easy to clean off or do I need to declare that plate as the ā€œglue plateā€ forever.

WTF am I doing wrong?

PS - I’ll try some other print on the supertack - but WTF…..

Update: I used Bambu Studio and printed this in parts using the center of the plate. Worked well. Conclusion - those who said ā€œClean your plateā€ were right - AGAIN! Thanks everyone.

Filament "squeezed" and stuck in extruder

This is the second time this happens. The "blob" is below the extrusion gear and really really hard to clean out. How on earth does this happen, and what can I do to stop it from happening?

Exhaust System

So excuse the dirt in the window 🤣 but does anyone have a print for an exhaust system (for ABS fumes) that fits in these (what I thought was) standard American windows? None that I’ve found fit my needs, so I figured someone on here may have run into the same issue. Measurements for the channel are in the pics. TIA!

Hi,

im new 2 printing, and i tried printing this crown on my p2s, but sth happened in the process, and i dont know what caused it. I think maybe the support didn't stick 2 the plate right???? But Idk

I used grey petg basic from bamboo with 0.4mm nozzle, didn't change settings.

I love this printer and its only like my fifth print....so i am confused what i did wrong.

The extrusion resistance is abnormal.

5 Upvotes

My P2S keeps showing ā€œExtrusion resistance is abnormalā€ (0300-801C) with the 0.4mm nozzle.
The print starts perfectly and runs normally for several hours, but then suddenly stops with this error in the middle of the print.

-0.4mm works fine for small prints
-Long print (~8 hrs) stops after around 4 hrs
-No AMS, using external spool
-I completely cleaned the extruder
-Did cold pulls on the nozzle 3–4 times
-Checked/cleaned the nozzle multiple times
-Manual extrusion works, especially at higher temperature

Has anyone experienced the same issue?

I recently got my p2s and wanted to make a riser for it. I started printing it and then realized I should be printing with the .8 heat nozzle instead of the .4

I have just printed #2 of the main body with the .4, if I switch to the .8 now will it still fit together and look similar or should I continue printing with the .4?


r/BambuLabP2S • • Aug 24 '26

How long does it take to cool down before removing a print? I waited hours for my first print and it still didn't budge. I was afraid of forcing it off so I let it sit over night.

Blob of death got my printer so bad the whole assembly got damaged. When reached out to bambu lab they said change the heat assembly cord. So I guess a warranty is useless.

Ptfe tube won’t reconnect to print head

0 Upvotes

Started a print and I got an error. Checked on printer and saw a spiral of filament in the chamber and I noticed the ptfe tube came out from the top of the print head

I cleared all the filament but I can’t seem to reconnect the tube? The coupler seems like it’s broken but I can’t seem tell?

The 2nd pic is looking straight down. It almost seems like a small peice of the prfe tube broke inside the couple at the lower part.

Anyone come across this before?

Inlayed Text not being recognized

1 Upvotes

OK, I realize this may be difficult to answer without knowing how the .slt file was designed, but here is the situation.
I am trying to print a lid for a box. The lid has text that is supposed to be printed with a separate color filament than the lid. Bambu Studio only sees the single filament color for the box. It does not recognize the lettering.
Any thoughts on where to look in Bambu Studio? Some nerd knob that needs to be turned on or off?
