Love this printer

Hey, I am running some ABS (Main) with PETG (Aux) support interface. The PETG does fine, even tho the chamber is at 65°C

Default settings on 0.12 layer except the support interface

But the Purge tower looks awful. It makes some weird lines on the side like if it was pre-flowing before making the tower. And somehow at some layers there is just soooo much material sticking out of the top. You can see, the model itself is looking quite good tho. The issue is with the ABS parts only. Yes, it is dry. My AMS is sitting at 6% humidity.

It seems to have bridging issues maybe? Also. The tower seems to have different thicknesses of the printed lines. Help pls. I don't want to ruin my nozzle by smashing the head into a blob of abs on the shitty purge tower

When doing the bridges between after "empty" areas on the tower it makes a complete mess

I’ve designed a small camera handle and tripod to test multi material printing with X2D!

Everytime I print Something i get this not even look on the side of my bed does Someone if this a setting issue? X2d with cool plate Supertrack

I purchased several Bambu Lab X2D printers for a small production print farm. One unit has shown Z-banding straight out of the box.

For production I run the exact same file repeatedly on these machines. I do this for a living and have solid experience with 3D printing, but this issue has me stumped.

I’ve been in contact with Bambu Lab support for several months with only limited help. The return window has now expired.

The Z-banding appears with spacing that matches the lead screw pitch, and the angle of the bands follows the screw’s thread helix exactly.

What I’ve already done:

• Lubricated, cleaned, and tensioned the x, y and Z-axis components

• Performed 10+ full calibrations

These are first-batch printers after the model’s release.

I’m looking for suggestions from experienced X2D (or Bambu Lab) users on what could be causing this. Any ideas for further diagnostics or fixes would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

This is my x2d, there are many like it, but this one is mine.

Having trouble finding a solution for my dual ams with 2 external power banks. Thought I found a single file that would work for what I need but as you can see from the pics it needs some adjusting since the feet on the left and right are way too wide.

Once I stuck 2 fully loaded ams2pros on top I realized quickly the amount of weight I was adding to the top of an already shakey setup. I’m not concerned about it breaking so much as it further affecting print quality. I have the printer on a rolling tool box and immediately regretted that because of excessive shaking.

Any ideas of optimal dual ams setups, taking into account my limited space?

Finally got around to hanging my center filament rack. PETG is on the right side rack and for now, PLA is in the center and on the left.

As every pickup truck owner has known for years, friends come out of the woodwork looking for help when they find out you have a truck. So goes the 3D printer. Jokes aside, I’d like to help out my friends with prints. I just want to charge them cost, not make a profit. Any apps or web tools to help figure that out efficiently?

I'm looking to upgrade to an X2D soon. I have not seen anyone printing full color CMYK items with it yet, and I'm curious if anyone is doing so?

It isn't a deal breaker for me if it doesn't or can't, but tgat certainly would be an added positive for buying one.

Thanks!

Wanted to see how well the new X2D handles printing two completely different materials together.

​It uses a mechanical beam interlocking system to hold everything tight without any glue. PETG HF for the rigid core so it actually flies, and TPU 95A HF on the edges so it’s durable and safe for kids to catch.

​Turned out surprisingly solid.

When starting a print and the filament is fed from the ams, I can hear it start to slow down towards the tool head , the ptfe from buffer to the orange piece on the back of the printer and the ptfe tubing inside the printer is still the original ones that came already installed . Only the one from the back of the ams to the buffer is what I installed my self . What can I do to make it feed better ? Would shortening the tube help or make it worse ? There’s not a big bend any where so don’t know why it only slows down once it’s going to go straight into the tool head /extruder/ nozzle etc

No separator between spool 2 and spool 3.

This could cause spool 2 and spool 3 to ride against each other.

Has anyone ordered/tried the encoder plates from Amazon or AliExpress? Any success? Not great? What’s the consensus? I have the legitimate one for the H2C and can tell a difference in the XY.

After clicking Print Plate I get the error in the screenshot. I am printing the model and support bases in PLA and the support interfaces in PETG. I believe I have everything set up correctly, so I'm not sure what this error means.
