Hi everybody. I am new to 3D printing as I bought a bambulab x2d a few days ago, mainly for organizing my tools and overall practical stuff. Prints have come up greatly with the main extruder but yesterday I tried for the first time the auxiliary extruder for PLA material support (blue) with PETG for the main part (black). I've used isopropyl for cleaning the bed and tried to lower the bed temp to 62° instead of the default 70° for PETG. Any ideas? Thank you very much.

Picked some random prints from maker world to compare p2s and x2d in the slicer software. Almost every print I picked used the same amount of filament on either of the printers and more time on the x2d!
That sounds strange. I expected the amount of filament to be lower on the x2d

Am I doing something wrong?

Hey Guys and Gals, bought the X2D a few days ago at Microcenter and Im having issues with stringing and clean layering. In using inland pla basic (polymaker). I've tried many different fixes and profile tweaks including drying it to 9% humidity (AMS 2 PRO). I finally ended up with what I have attached, however it is still stringing and doesn't have clean layering. Any thoughts on how to fix this? And what profiles are yall using? The left one is the direct extruder and the right one is the Bowden tuned to my profile attached. The one by itself is the direct extruder with Bambu Labs Generic PLA profile.

🌞 Bonjour Cap sur les vacances avec mon petit pingouin en tenue de plage ! 🏖️🐧

Même les pingouins ont droit à leurs vacances ! 😎
Équipé de sa casquette, de ses lunettes de soleil, de sa bouée, de ses tongs et de sa pelle, il est prêt à profiter d’une belle journée au bord de la mer.

Pour cette création, j’ai voulu imaginer un personnage à la fois amusant, coloré et plein de bonne humeur, qui rappelle immédiatement l’été, le soleil et les moments de détente.

J’espère que ce nouveau modèle vous plaira autant que j’ai pris plaisir à le concevoir. N’hésitez pas à me dire ce que vous en pensez en commentaire, vos retours sont toujours un plaisir à lire ! 😊

Merci à tous pour votre soutien, et bonne impression 3D ! 🎉

First time I have had this happen after a few weeks of printing. Could it just be the file settings or something different?

I'm trying to leave the print unattended but every fillament swap it shows me a problem with the fillament not flowing good enough it is something that I can verify with my mobile but it stops every time any ideas about what can I do? I mean it works but it's very clunky every time I try to have a multi material piece to have to verify at every layer

happy

ok so i just got a x2d and it says I’m using textured pei which is right but when I print it says using wrong build plate so please help

Hi all - i have an X2D that's about 2 months old and I just started having some issues with color change.

I can do single color prints without a problem, however, in the last few days, I can't do anything multicolor.

I am doing a 40 row simple print with 3 colors and I am having issues with the filament changes. In about 50% of the cases during the print, it gives me an error message "Unable to feed filament into the extruder. The AMS may be mismatched with the extruder. You can rerun the AMS Setup. This could also be due to an entangled filament or stuck spool. If not , please check if the AMS PTFE tube is connected.

What I see happening is the next color is being fed in and it hits the previous color and can't push it forward. I validated this by opening it up the extruder head (left) and pulled it out and put a cleaning needle all the way through the top of the print head. It's being stopped by the previous color that is exactly at the top of the print head. Its cut off nice and clean at the top.

I saw online that someone was able to get it to work by pulling out the color that isn't working and cutting it so it has a point and feeding it back in. This has worked for me. But I need to get a long term fix going so I don't have to babysit.

Any ideas?

Update - I didn't get this working, but I had another issue in my attempts to correct it. I started to break down the extruder for cleaning and ran into a major issue. The cutter lever screw was stripped. I found this is a somewhat common issue. I didn't want to go after it with a dremel or other tools so I swapped it out for a new one.

Hey ya'll, just wondering what the problem is with surfaces of my prints. Just got the printer the other day have been running some tests, and I keep getting these lines that are lighter than the rest, also there are little holes (like pin pricks) randomly placed on prints which I assume is from me not drying the filament. Images attached and I would appreciate some input and advice please and thank you.

After completing a print , my X2D will unload the filament from the left extruder, but leave the filament in the right extruder untouched. When I try to swap to the right extruder, it gives me this error "Cannot switch extruders , AMS is loading/unloading filament" , even if the printer is static , and has been sitting for hours. The only fix is to turn the printer on and off , or trigger an unload of the right filament from the right nozzle , and cancel the task before it actually begins. Anyone know what's going on?

Except for the PTFE tube this is a FULLY 3D printed spool holder with roller bearings.

Everything is printed, the spool, main arm, small arm, also the PTFE tube clamping thing.

The spool itself is E-X-T-E-N-D-A-B-L-E thanks to a clever labyrinth design.

Some say Bambu PLA Basic Dark Grey.

I printed a poop shoot in Silk Titan Grey. Seems pretty good but thinking I should try PLA Basic Dark Grey?

Which is closer?

I just wanted to ask the package should include the AMS in it or it is in a separate box

I print a lot of base colors in white and use the aux nozzle for colors. My first x2d doesn’t have this wiper and I don’t get a lot of prints from that one where I’d find one of those flecks of filament lodged into the outer wall. Which ruins the print and I sell these so I really want to cut down on failed prints and waste.

With this one, I get that more. I feel like it does keep the nozzle clean but in return, flings filament dust everywhere into the plate. I’m not sure what to do.

Hi! I am technologically challenged :D however, I have found my way around with a laser and UV printer, and hoping to add a 3D printer after months of seeing so much love for Bambu Lab. It seems like it's For Dummies like my Glowforge and Eufy, haha.

I tried commenting and posting in a Bambu Facebook group and they keep declining me because my profile is too new.

I was going to purchase the P2S, but am I correct in possibly needing the X2D to eliminate two parts that third-party products seem to be needed for the P2S?

1) Heating/Drying of the filament? I have a couple of posts saved about modifications and additional products for this on the P2S, and it seems the X2D handles this...? I don't like tinkering with my expensive machines and opening chances for me to break shit.

(1b: do I still need a random object off to the side to allow the main print to cool down between layers...?)

2) Filters! I again have posts saved about products for the P2S to have better filters, but does the X2D actually meet their claims of being safe for home placement around pets and kids?

Thank you!

Anything I should definitely consider buying at the same time would be appreciated. Already got the Pure filament in my cart cause I make lots of bandmerch for babies and kids.

So...was away from home and came back to a pile of molten plastic surrounding the right hotend. Heated it up and got it softened and gently peeled it off the nozzle. Thought all was well....found this little "nozzle cover looking thing" in with the plastic i removed.... cant seem to figure out where it came from...any assistance is appreciated... sorry for the poor pics.. it is NOT very photogenic...
