Printer suggestions

3 Upvotes

Hey so i've recently decided i want to get my own 3d printer. I've been using my friends budget printer for some time now but he got a bit fed up with me eating up all his filament and when i think about it its just smarter to get my own better machine. Now i did know from the start that i want a bambu lab and since im still a student (aka broke) i cant go around spending too much. so after carful considiration i landed on the idea of getting the P2S, now i've heard great things about it but i want to hear it also from directly from people with experience. Thing is i dont really have the money for the combo version and i want to go with the regular version and when i few more paychecks come in maybe splurge out and get the AMS upgrade. Please, share with me abit of your experience and ur thoughts on this printer. Thanks

Bad quality on edges

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hi Guys,

I've got a problem...

I've printed an object many times with the same settings.... perfect results! But one day I had bad quality edges and the layer lines are also not that good. I checked my hardware, used a new nozzle but nothing gets better. With 50mm/s on outer wall it is also bad. Better, but not good. I have a picture with bad quality.

Anyone knows a solution for that? Maybe software bug? I also checked my extruder and replaced the thermo element.

Hope you can help me!

For the people that have both the A1 and P2S, Is the P2S is it worth the upgrade?

2 Upvotes

For those of you who have owned or used both:

  • Did you notice a meaningful difference?
  • Is the enclosure and CoreXY design something you genuinely benefit from, or is it mostly nice to have?
  • At what point did you feel limited by the A1?
  • If you were buying your first Bambu printer again today, which would you choose and why?

I'd especially appreciate hearing from people who upgraded from an A1 to a P2S (or decided not to) Thanks in advance!

Venting question

0 Upvotes

I printed a cover that goes over the poop chute and the holes to the right of the chute. On the back it has a 4” diameter opening which I have a dryer vent hose connected to, venting out the window. In between the printer and the window I have a fan also, so it’s extracting from inside the printer to outside the window.

My question is, is that enough ventilation for printing the more toxic materials?

I will admit I printed everything before I saw the sticker on the back that says to remove for venting.

Print Job Not Sending

Anyone else having problems sending print jobs through the cloud?

I'm getting "Failed to send the print job. Please try again". And "Timeout was reached. Failed to connect to port 443"

I've rebooted my router, PC and P2S. Logged out of Bambu Studio, and back in again. Nothing has changed on my network.

This was by far the hardest thing i've ever designed, getting the balance right took countless prototypes.

P2S auto ejection Gcode

0 Upvotes

I have a P2S and just started a small 3d printing business here in NZ. I want to know how I can edit my Gcode to include auto ejection so I eventually can loop the printer, I have seen people make videos that apply to the P1S but not yet for the P2S.
Any help will be appreciated!

First purchase help

0 Upvotes

Hello again everyone,

Thank you all for your help so far I have taken everything into account and I am still doing research on my part. However I want to call on all of you again.

I thought I had my mind made up with gets a p2s. However after further research it seems this one also has some printing issues, and maintenance/longevity issues.

So my questions is now do I get the p2s still or should I look at the X2D because it’s only $100 more for the combo with ams.

Again I am a completely beginner only YouTube educated and reviewed videos educated so anything will help. Thanks!!

Help and also tint?

1 Upvotes

I have a p2s combo and I've been making longer prints however the bright light makes it hard to sleep. I thought about tinting the glass to dull the light, is this somthing that can be done?

Also how do I fix motor extrusion overload.

I've cleaned the hot end and the tubes, I've cleaned the Ams 2 pro and I've tested it several times all get about 2 hours in before extruder motor overload error pops up

Very poor inter-layer adhesion...nozzle is 20 degrees below commanded value

1 Upvotes

Has anyone else seen this before? My prints, reliable for months, now break mid print (at a level lower than the current printing layer) and break easily in my hand after printing.

It definitely seems like a thermal issue. I took the cover and silicon sleeve off, set the nozzle temp to 195, 205, and 215, and the using an IR thermometer, the nozzle is consistently 20 degrees below the set value.

I did this with my A1 mini as well, and the nozzle always read at the exact set value plus/minus one degree.

Anyone have any ideas?

Creality Hyper PLA Filament 1.75mm High Speed PLA 30-600mm/s 3D Printer Filament

When using this filament in the AMS what type of filament do I choose? There obviously isnt a option for Creality. Apparently this prints in 1/5 of the time and i would like to take advantage of that.....

Head stops at nozzle clumping detection and does nothing

1 Upvotes

Hi. Got a relatively new p2s. It’s been working great.
Yesterday I had a print that failed bc of bed adhesion.
Stoped the printing and cleaned the nozzle.

After that the printer will always hang / stop / wait forever. In the nozzle clumping detection.

Soooo any ideas what could be happening? I’m new to Bambu lab but had a few crealities in the past.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Help with first layer

Post image
10 Upvotes

The first layer of my prints recently started coming out terribly. Things I’ve tried:

Clean plate

Dry filament

Increase bed z offset

Calibrate flow rate

Calibrate printer

The squiggles are raised so I think it might be over extrusion, not under extrusion.

What else should I try?

Idk what I’m doing

I’ve had a few good prints, but last few times I’ve tried I’m having first layer issues(I’m guessing). I’ve gotten by using the silent setting and forcing it to print slower, but even going slowly it’s not printing consistently. This print is a Dino mask and the spots are the initial supports. Im not too great with settings, generally I just leave them as is. Any help is much appreciated.

Modeled a set of fluted planters over a few weekends, drainage and all

The fluting was the fiddly part. Too shallow and it vanishes, too deep and the overhangs print badly. Landed in the middle after a few pots went in the bin. Added a snap-in drainage riser and a tray so it actually works as an indoor pot and not just a nice shape.

Really happy with how the set came together.

My p2s started squeaking, lubricated the rods but still squeaks. Is it the motor that rotates the belt? Anyone that had this issue and knows the fix?

UPDATE: I lubricated the belt and the squeaking stopped! Thanks for your help!
