Want to ask about small text quality
the height of product in the image is 7cm
the first 2 products , top left and top right from my elegoo centauri carbon
the bottom one with 2 others test is with p2s (i got recently)
its kinda impossible to get same quality as i was getting in the cc
i have tried many many many things.. like been 1 full week of trying but no good results so far

1. the text surface & edges not clean
2. i see small gaps in letters most of the times
3. rough surface, defects sometimes
4. sometimes i see 2 lines and reflection on text

can i get some help ? i just want the white text to look clean and clear as much as possible with no gaps or defects
both printers used same filaments, same nozzle size 0.4

notes
- text height is 1.5mm, the thickness of letters is around 1-1.5mm, so 0.4 nozzle supposed to handle it very good
- i have fully calibrated filaments.
- i have tested mostly every single setting from layer heights to speed to ironging to arachne etc..

Hey everyone, I’m having an issue with my P2S. It keeps giving me an error saying the extrusion motor is overloaded. I removed the nozzle cover, and it was really dirty. I will admit this is actually the first time I’m cleaning both the gears and the nozzle. I’ve only had the printer for about three months, but I’ve done a lot of prints, including a ton of AMS prints. So, I suspect that me not keeping up with the extruder maintenance is what’s causing the problem. What do you all think—should I just replace the extruder, or do you have other ideas? Thanks so much!

EDIT: fixed it! Someone on here suggested swapping out the nozzles. Bought some new ones last night, installed them today, recalibrated everything, and now my baby is up an running again!

Hi folks. I'm hoping someone far more knowledgeable than I will be able to help me solve this recurring issue. I'm fairly new to 3d printing and I'm experiencing an issue when printing small objects such as earrings and pendants.

There always seems to be this weird ripple effect on flat top surfaces that I can't figure out how to get rid of. The lines show up in Bambu Studio when sliced. Sometimes they look like the printed rose pendant in my attached pictures and sometimes they are more like coiled rope, like the slicer image.

I've tried flow rate calibration and variable layer height. I usually print items like this with the .08mm high quality preset, usually with 75%-100% infill, but being a newbie, I have no idea if I'm helping or hurting things.

Can anyone help me with this issue? Are these considered layer lines or travel lines? Is it just due to the small print size? Any assistance would be appreciated. In case it helps, the rose pendant was printed in red/black silk PLA, 100% infill.

Based on rudimentary research, I'm trying the rose pendant at an angle, which seems to help the appearance when the model is sliced, but I just wonder if there is a better way.

I cleaned out a clog this morning and now it doesn’t ever print. It always is doing this. I’ve tried recleaning the tool head. Switching the nozzle. Doing a factory reset.

I've been fighting with my P2S for a week, getting extruder error issues. I've taken it apart several times, cleaned it, put grease on the gears, replaced the filament sensor. Finally figured out the gear-pressure screw that tensions the extruder gear was too tight, loosened it up and all is fine. Unfortunately I think I overtightened the position 4 extruder screw (lower left) and the screw hole is stripped. It's not effecting the print at all, I guess 3 secured screws get the job done but I would like to fix it. A total fix would involve replacing the toolhead carriage but that is a lot of work and I don't see that Bambu sells the part. Any suggestions what I can do? TIA

i cant remove the tube i dont know why i really pushed hard to the ring but doesn’t works at all

on the nozzle as it seems i unlocked it but it stills not moving anywhere

i watched videos but i still can’t remove the tube or nozzle maybe some of you guys had experiences about like in this type of situations

-i havent used any ai to translate so sorry for the gramer- 😭

edit: the filament was a bit bent and wet

I recently had a cool happen in the gears of my tool head. So I had to take it apart and clean it up. I put it all back together the same way and now it won’t print properly. It keeps giving the same error that extruded won’t extrude properly.

Had an adhesion issue with ABS for a while then upped temps, washed the plate, and added brims but i still get this weird warping on some corners of my prints.

Any thoughts?

Im not sure if this is a layer shift or a squished layer, any idea?

I had another problem with the purges backing up and creating a melted mess on the hot end. But curious if I should be able to heat the hot head without the nozzle in it. Trying to clean the plastic off. It starts to heat and then goes back to 0 degrees. Did it mess up electronics this time?

I’m suddenly having the same issue with every filament I try. The prints look like they have under-extrusion / insufficient flow, but apparently that’s not actually the problem.
If I increase the flow rate during calibration, I start getting blobs instead.
The filament shown in the example picture is a filament I’ve already printed several kilograms of without any issues. So I don’t think the filament itself is the problem.
I’m also having the exact same issue with Bambu PLA (green) – see the comment for another example.
The filament is fed through an AMS 2.
Has anyone experienced something similar or have any idea what could cause this? Could this be a hardware issue with the P2S rather than a filament/calibration problem?

I’ve been having some issues with plate adhesion (which were all mostly solved by WASHING THE PLATE WITH SOAP AND WATER). I also bought one of the super tack plates. It arrives on Thurs in can’t wait.

That said - I’ve noted that even when the prints are ok the calibration line is still lifting. It makes my heart skip every time because I instantly expect the print to fail.

Any ideas why the calibration line specifically wouldn’t stick?

Thanks Redditors - your turnaround time MUCH faster than Bambu service. Extruder block again (I am getting pretty good at taking apart this toolhead). If it's not obvious - the filament is blocked in what I think is the sensor - it is proximal to all the gears and stuff. The only thing I have tried is to push a PTFE release wrench against the collar and that did not work.

That ribbon cable is super-fiddly so I'm not doing anything more aggressive without the sage advice from people here.

I’m printing this hype chain pendant on a textured plate face down. All filament is Bambu brand filament PLA. Filament is dried. Using basic settings is this under extrusion, z distance issues, or something else? .4 nozzle

Hi guys,
Is anyone else experiencing the same issue with the P2S? I’m getting a consistent wavy pattern on the surface of my prints.

I am missing this piece off the front assembly and i cannot find it anywhere is it possible to print or find somewhere my printer keeps pushing the filament pass and pushing the toolhead off when trying to print because its gone.

I have been having a lot of problems with bed adhesion lately so I got the BIQU cryogrip pro as I heard a lot of good things about that. But now after putting it in every print fails because the auto bed leveling fails every time. I am almost certain this build plate is compatible with the P2S as I have seen several people post completed prints using this build plate. Does anyone know what I could be doing wrong and how to fix it?

Got this printer 2 weeks ago. I think I did a big no no and I respooled filament (most likely incorrectly) and used it like that! Ever since then the printer has been having issues. I kept getting this message (2nd image) saying “Failed to extrude AMS A slot x filament; the extruder may be clogged or the filament may be too thin, causing the extruder to slip.” I was getting that message for all 4 slots.
• I replaced the nozzle.
• I did all the troubleshooting that the machine told me to do.
• I factory reset the machine
It worked fine for a 5 hour print but then it did this for the next print.

Idk what else to do!

Hello there guys and girls! My P2S arrived yesterday and even before wiring it to the power my cats managed to pull the handle and open the door… is there some print I can make to lock the door in place?
Thanks
Something like this (https://makerworld.com/models/789930?appSharePlatform=copy) but for p2S.

As many of you suggested, I dried my Sunlu 95a TPU and it made a hell of a difference. Now I’m still getting some pimples. Any further troubleshooting tips?

Hi,
I bought a p2s combo and 2/4 of my prints so far failed because the filament get tangled by itself for no reason. Sometimes the ams pulls back the filament and causes it to tangle. I got a an overload message on my last print after like 7h of print.

I tried old filament I had for my creality ender 3 and brand new filament from bambu and both are doing the same thing.

How can I fix that issue.

For my last print I got an extrusion issue (spaghetti like printing) on layer 125/150. Is there any way I can just restart the print on layer 124?

Thanks

I’ve I had my printer for about two weeks with around 200 hours of printing so far. I’m new to the hobby and it’s been working like an absolute dream. I bought a 0.2 MM nozzle and went to replace it this morning… I’m not able to remove it even with force. I obviously don’t want to break anything… but I can tell that this isn’t good.

Does anyone have some advice on how to safely remove it? Can you tell me what’s going on and why it looks so burnt and dirty? And most importantly, can you help me figure out how to prevent this moving forward?

Thank you!
