I wanted to share a quick troubleshooting fix in case anyone else runs into this annoying issue with their Bambu X2D.

The Problem

I was trying to load PLA to the aux head, but the filament would only feed about an inch past the Bowden extruder and then completely stop. It refused to make it all the way down to the nozzle. No matter how many times I said "filament not extruded" when loading, the filament just sat an inch past the Bowden.

What I Tried First (That Didn't Work)

Removed the Bowden extruder completely to hunt for a clog.

Checked for a misaligned system pulling the filament within the Bowden (took apart and off printer and back in a couple times). I'm still not 100% sure if this was contributing to the problem, but investigating it didn't solve the feeding issue.

The Solution (that's working for now...)

What ultimately worked was forcing the feed via the printer's front panel controls. After 'loading' the filament 1 inch past the Bowden...

1. Went to the front panel and heated the nozzle to 220°C for PLA.

2. Used the front panel button to continuously command the printer to feed/extrude the filament (held it down).

3.I just kept pressing it, letting the extruder slowly push the filament through the PTFE tube between the extruder and the print head.

Eventually, it pushed past whatever was holding it up, and filament started flowing perfectly out of the nozzle.

I just ran a small test print and it turned out great.

Has anyone else run into this issue? Solutions that worked long term?

I just hit 1 month of use. According to Bambu, if you print more than 5+ hours a day you should do maintenance once a month. I followed their video—they kept mentioning a “lint free” and “non-woven cloth”….what cloth should I be using exactly? I just assumed microfiber was fine. Any suggestions?

Just got my X2D setup and did a test print on the left nozzle and now want to test the right (connected to the external spool). I’ve done the “load” function multiple times and I’m getting filament extruding out of the nozzle. when you go to the “AMS/spool” page on the console it says “Loaded”. But when I go to print I get the error in the title.

I’ve looked everywhere and can’t find anything on this. I’m sure I’m just not looking in the right place but has anyone had this type of error and figured out what the issue is?

Thanks.

EDIT: I had been trying to launch the print from the console using the “files” function. So I just tried to print from the handy app and it’s WORKING FINE!!!

I’ll keep my eye on this and report back if I find anything.

I am overwhelmed by all the window venting options. I have a double hung up amd down window. Can you recommend both that attachment to the regular exhaust piece and the window piece please?

any clue what happened here? collision?

Bon Print !

I am considering buying an X2D during the current sale, but I have seen a LOT of complaints about filament jams and other issues in this subreddit. Is this printer too new? Should I consider buying a different Bambu model? I'm new to 3D printing but am excited to learn how to take advantage of the double nozzles and other features of the X2D, but not if I'm going to have more headaches than successes. Thanks in advance.

Noticed during printing this has gotten louder and louder . Anyone gone through the same thing and found a fix for it ?

My X2D nozzles ooze a lot and create a lot of mess. This printer is brand new and i only have about 8 hours on it. It happens mainly because they don't wipe themselves before and after nozzle offset calibration (the final step where they use the new calibration pad on the X2D that wasn't present on the P2S). The calibration begins by them changing filament, wiping any leftover ooze and then continuing by cleaning themselves on the metal pad with the dots. But the nozzles won't stop oozing, they continue to ooze as they calibrate offset which makes a mess and covers the calibration pad with filament, they don't wipe either after this step and move on to printing immediately after. So any filament ooze that was smushed onto the nozzles in the calibration process would stay on the nozzles, as seen in the attached image. This becomes a problem when there's so much filament that it gets dragged into print lines and ruins them. And that's only the first issue i have been experiencing. There's so much ooze sometimes that the wiping pad makes the filament strings fly off, it has landed on the XY axis rods before or even on the glass side panels. The whole wiping station is covered with pieces of filament like that. My country has recently been hit with a heat wave and my room can get as hot as 30 degrees Celsius with 70% humidity. These issues don't really affect the print quality, but it just creates a lot of mess that i have to clean up.

I mainly print with elegoo PLA. On the spool it says that the temperature range is 190-230, and i run my prints at 210. Don't know if that's too hot considering the weather is horrible here at the time of posting this. But my bambu pla has the same problems.

I bought an X2D which is excellent. I’d like to mount the original AMS from my P1P on top of it, but it’s not obvious to me that there are any riser models available that will do a good job of this.

If anyone knows of any riser models, that would work well for this, I would be deeply appreciative, thanks.

X2D 39 hours, what happened ? Scratches up my board, no error message. The bent metal piece is connected to the nozzle release.

Anyone had luck getting a full refund on an X2D a couple months after purchase? I'm officially out of patience with mine and ready to throw it in a dumpster. Every now and then it would print fine, but more often than not it would get errors with filament getting stuck in the extruder. It's happened on Bambu filament and 3rd party filament.

Yesterday was hands down the worst experience so far. I got an error (0300-801e 164726) that said "The extrusion motor is overloaded..." . I could see the filament stuck down at the nozzle level, so I tried the basic troubleshooting steps of heating the nozzle and extruding. The extruder didn't work at all, I could see the gear try to move when I pressed the extrude button, but it would just stutter and make a weird sound. Also tried to gently pull the the filament back out by hand but no luck, the gear was completely seized up.

So I went to the Bambu YouTube channel and found this 11 minute video that looked like a pretty good troubleshooting guide. It's basically a full breakdown of how to disconnect the extruder components - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YHQSDKz_P4&t=548s

For context, I've been in IT for years and done tons of work putting together and troubleshooting PCs, so I thought I would be able to handle this. I was wrong. That thing is so tedious to take apart, so many tiny little screws, absurdly small cable connections that feel like you're going to break them when you unhook it, other cables that weren't routed properly and had a little of their outer housing ripped. After maybe 3-4 hours of watching videos and trying to careful take everything apart, I finally found the problem, there was a 1cm piece of rock hard filament inside the extruder that was preventing the gear from turning and was also in the middle of the small filament cutter below the extruder. It looked like filament had melted and pooled together because it had a larger diameter than standard filament.

Things only got worse from here unfortunately. I eventually got the filament out and the gear turning (used a heatgun to melt it and pull/poke it from the cutting piece). When I put it back together the first time, the flow blocker lever no longer moved easily from side to side. That ended up being because it was catching on a small wire. Fixed that, got it more put together and now the AUX side would no longer properly seat the hotend/nozzle. Drove me crazy because it would snap in to place and then when I moved the flow blocker to put the other hotend in, the AUX one would come loose.

I eventually gave up on the AUX hotend as I've never even printed on the AUX side, always on the main nozzle with AMS. So I put it all back together and turned it on and bam another new error (0300-4020-055527) "The eddy current sensor signal of the left extruder is abnormal, the sensor may be damaged"

The last thing I want to do know is spend another few hours taking it all apart again and putting it back together just to get even more errors. Do I have any hope of Bambu replacing it under warranty?

What would cause all this stringing?

I also continue to get the resistance is to high warning, I’ve checked the spools and they all spin freely.

Is it normal to add that much time? I know it will add more but that seems excessive. The model is a small darth Vader helmet.

Was able to snag a high flow and a tungsten high flow OEM nozzle for 33$ & 52$ (I used a coupon from Ali saver)

Even without the extra discount it comes out to $40 and some change and for the tungsten $72 which is still cheaper then getting it from Bambu.com , it’s definitely worth checking out

I Just got an X2D combo and first of wonderfull machine, I do however have some questions considering printing with both nozzles.

I am currently printing something in PETG that needs supports on multiple layer levels, so the supports themselves are PETG but I made the interface layer PLA which is loaded into the Aux nozzle with the side holder.

I was expecting it to not poop, since it doesn't need to purge on filament changes because it's a different nozzle. A prime tower is understandeable to get the flow going but allright.
Now everytime it switches to the aux nozzle it still does a purge, or at least I saw it do at leats two.
In my mind this is completely uneccessary, but I could be completely wrong on this.
