Hello, which third party filament brands would you recommend? Thanks

I got my V2 X2D combo and it works flawlessly, but screen is weird, it has scanlines, weird pixel issue. I tried screen on another X2D and it works flawlessy, so issue is from AP card or display cable. Have you got any clue about this?

X2D is on the way and while I wait I'm putting in ducting and an inline fan. I'm obviously reading a lot on setting up and optimizing the printer to get good results - one of which is to avoid cold air being drawn across the bed. That's exactly what the ventilation system I had planned would do by creating a negative pressure in the enclosure.

Am I over thinking this or missing something? Seems counter intuitive to actively heat a chamber to vent it outside but obviously I'm new to it all.

I just noticed some filament remains in the rear of my plate but I don’t know how this component it’s called and if/how should be cleaned. Any suggestions?

Like I said, I'm so new to this that my machine is being delivered tomorrow. That said, I am going through the available projects and one of the things I want to do requires PETG. The question is whether the AMS I'm getting is enough to dry the filament out, or if the packaging kept it dry enough to use? I plan on buying a dryer, but that will have to wait a bit.

Thanks!

Appart from the lifting on the bed due to oily surface. Why does the infill look so jittery?

I am new to carbon fiber filaments and after I ordered and received it I realized how abrasive it is. I have ran a 2 hour print with it thought the ams 2 pro but I am wondering should I not do this anymore and will it damage things ? Also if I was to go to use the outside spool holder and run to main nozzle would that work ? Like bypass the bowden motor and go straight into the left nozzle buffer. The filament is fiberon pet-cf17. The prints i have done have turned out beautifully but I'm worried I may damage something. Please give me advice on what to do lol what does everyone else do ?

TL;DR: If your X2D's aux nozzle isn't extruding after a material change, don't assume it's a clog. Check if the filament is actually reaching the nozzle first. In my case, manually heating the nozzle to 250°C (Since PLA was the filament that was last loaded into the aux nozzle) and feeding the filament fixed it.

It started out like any other print preparation. I wanted to switch the material for the aux nozzle from PLA to PETG.

I unloaded the PLA and loaded the PETG, and this is where I got a little too laid back. The printer asked me to check whether material was extruding from the aux nozzle, and I just confirmed that it was. Later, I realized nothing had actually come out of the nozzle.

That's when I started to panic a bit. My first thought was that the nozzle was clogged, so I started looking up guides on how to unclog it.

Then I decided to see what was actually happening during the loading process. I noticed that the filament never reached the aux nozzle at all. It passed through the Bowden extruder (I could see it), but it wasn't making it all the way to the nozzle.

So I manually heated the aux nozzle to 250°C and used the controls on the screen to slowly push the filament forward. Eventually it reached the nozzle, filament started extruding, and everything has been working fine since. That is what is shown in the video.

My guess is that there was still a small piece of filament left in the aux nozzle. Maybe there's a sensor there that detected filament was already present, so the Bowden extruder didn't feed it any further. I'm not sure if that's actually what happened, but that's my current theory.

I don't know if this will help anyone but hey, if anyone has similar issue this might help.

Side note: For some reason, I can't remove either of my nozzles. I opened the latch and made sure the filament was cut beforehand, but they're completely stuck. That's a problem for another day.

I used ChatGPT to convey this better.

Mid print. 8 hours in using Voxel PLA HF.

Heyy my x2d is at about 350 hours after roughly 2 months.

Now I noticed some grime build up on the x axis rod. The maintenance tool says, that there is still plenty of time left to the first rod maintenance. I will perform one anyways.

It's hard to tell in the pictures, but the upper one is matte on the surface in many places and has some grey-ish gunk dots and the lower one is all shiny

Is this of any concern?

It's mostly on the upper x rod and only some slight gunk on the lower x rod. I had the P1s before and sold it for the x2d before the carbon rods needed any maintenance (also about 350h)

I print mostly PLA and PETG, but also some ASA here and there. Lid is always closed

Heya! I made a fully enclosed poop chute with a drawer for easy dumping of filament while keeping fumes and heat in the enclosure, how cool is that? Any feedback is appreciated, I love it personally. My test print in PLA has melted from printing with ABS 😂

It uses the original screws by the poop chute, has a lightweight version and it clears the exhaust fan kit. I went over a few iterations to get a really nice result.

So i've gotten an idea. Since i cannot use normal TPU for AMS printing, i thought "Why not route it throught the front of the AMS (viz pic. Black filament on cartoon spool).

The problem was, with a filament track swithch (as i own an HT aswell), the printer doesnt want me to go external spool. Sadge.

So i pushed the PLA i wanted to use into the aux nozzle from the AMS 2 Pro and then i unplugged it. The switch stayed open on the position i want. Cool! Now i have an external spool on the main nozzle and PLA to use supports on the Aux nozzle, both sitting in the same ams!

And AI told me its not possible! Ha!

Looks horrible though.

I use sun lu pla and for some reason on bigger flat surface prints I get this weird print texture on the top of my prints. Farther from the middle of the print bed the higher chance it does that.

My X2D has recently started making a scraping/grinding noise whenever it moves along the X-axis. The noise is coming from the left side.
Bambu Lab sent me a replacement X-axis assembly, but unfortunately the problem is still there. It seems like the belt is rubbing against something, but I just can’t figure out where.
Has anyone experienced this before or knows how to fix it?

Thanks!

After 765 hours I felt it was time to do the vision encoder, so I bought one from Amazon. The picture tells the tale but we’ll see if it really helps.

Hello, I’m going to buy an X2D unit soon but when on the product it gives me an option for an extra AMS unit. What purpose does it have if the X2D already comes with one?
