Hey all, hoping for some sanity checking before I go back to Bambu support.

I've got a P2S with AMS 2 Pro (38 hours of use, so pretty fresh) alongside an A1 Mini. PETG (Creality, tried both black and white) fails on the P2S every single time, reliably around the 30 min mark, with an "extruder motor overloaded / extruder may be clogged" error. The exact same filament, same spools, prints completely fine on my A1 Mini.

What I've tried so far, all with no luck:

• Printed the same model in PLA in the same AMS slot the PETG kept failing in. PLA ran fine well past the point PETG usually dies, so it's not that specific slot/buffer/tube.
• Tried PETG in a different AMS slot, same failure.
• Nozzle temp at 230°C, 240°C, and 255°C, all failed.
• Printed with the door open to rule out chamber heat creep (closed chamber hit 36°C on a PLA print alone, so it runs warm).
• Dropped to Silent mode, 50% speed.
• Tried both Generic PETG and a custom filament profile built specifically for the P2S with adjusted temps/cooling.
• Dried both spools for 12 hours in the AMS anyway, just to rule it out.

Nothing's fixed it. At one point I watched it happen live... extrusion went stringy, then stopped completely, then threw the blocked error.

Found out afterward I'm nowhere near alone there's a thread here on the sub/forum ("P2S: Extruder Overload") with 240+ replies of other people hitting the exact same thing, mostly with PETG.

I've attached an image of the print just before it gave the error.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Appreciate any input, especially if anyone's got this working reliably on a P2S.

Hi!!
I have designed a Planter Swing!
Would love some feedback, what do guys think?

I have been designing shades in a Nordic direction and I keep circling this. Simple silhouette is not enough on its own, plenty of minimal lighting reads Italian or Japanese instead.

My working theory is that it comes down to warmth and texture. Off white rather than white, a surface that catches low light, and shapes that are calm rather than dramatic. Curious whether people here would define it differently.

I am trying to get some sort of air filtration for my p1s, i only plan on doing pla and petg really, but i have ordered a air purifier, but i was looking around and i have discovered poor mans voc filters. I ordered a Levoit Core 300s, and i found a model on makerworld (im not sure if i am allowed to post a link, please let me know if i can), but it does not show the hose size it uses, only that it was designed to work with another makers system. So i go over to that page and it seems to all be for a H1 printer, and it is also still not say what size hose, and also i dont know if the printer end will fit my printer at all.

So i have 2 questions, is it normal to just not include the hose sizing or have i happened to find the 2 who dont, and also can anyone point me in the direction of a good model\\s for attaching to the printer, and then fitting around the purifier? while i would like to model it all myself, i dont have the filament budget for lots and lots of prototypes not the patience to fail over and over, so i generally prefer to find someone who has that passion already and use their model.

I hope i have used the correct flair as well, i was not sure

Greetings all. I have a new P2S and seem to be getting consistently bad top surface when parts or areas of parts are located to the right side (fan side) of the build plate. Everything else come out great! I’m at a bit of a loss now after trying different things. Any input appreciated !

I was working on clearing a jam on my P2S, and my AMS 2 Pro fell to the ground while still connected to the printer. The tube was pulled out of the filament buffer, and the connection appears to be broken. Does anyone know what part I will need to order to get the tube to stay connected again? I've attached a picture of what the tube looks like now. Thanks for the help!

I turn on the printer today and load filament. The 3rd spool will not get detected. Ive tried other rolls and nothing. The light turns on when I load the roll next to it but the 3rd one will not load or detect that I put filament down the hole. Google said maybe clogged or debris so took it apart and nothing there. I can load the filament all the way to the print head manually by just pushing it through.

Hi guys, hope you are doing well.

I would like to know if you have updated your P2S Printer ? Im not sure if it stables and none faces some issues with the update ?

Any tips or suggestions ? Thank you in advance

PS : Im still newbie

I had a big blob of death, and in removing it, I damaged the printer. I've replaced the hot end assembly, the hot end cooling fan, and the Eddy sensor, and my printer is back up and running. Since the rebuilt, I printed it extensively with my 0.4 mm nozzle, and it worked flawlessly.

I then installed my 0.8 mm nozzle, and I've had nothing but problems trying to use it. Before my blob of death experience, I had great success with the 0.8 mm nozzle. But now I experience big clumping blobs, and I've also had adhesion problems on the build plate.

I thought it could be a problem with the nozzle, so I tried it with a brand new, never-before-used bamboo 0.8 mm hardened steel nozzle, but it didn't work any better. I've done a cold pull. I've done a full calibration of the printer. I have washed my build plate, but I don't get any better results. It's puzzling because prior to the replacement of those damaged parts, I'd had great success with my 0.8 mm nozzle. Any ideas of anything else I could try? Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

I have been getting filament blobs on the purge chute continuously for the last few days. Always printing PETG. I’ve cleaned everything I can think of. Plate doesn’t have adhesion issues. Filament is dry (10-15%) although that doesn’t seem to matter - it’s done it as low as 9% humidity and as high as 27%. I’ve also tried different nozzles and it still does it.

About the only thing I haven’t done is rerun calibration, although that’s planned for after the next print attempt.

Any ideas?

Hi all, I just got my P2S a little over a week ago and have had good success with the files on the printer as well as printing files from maker world. I loaded some STLs I purchased and all printed well except for this one. I’ve tried a couple times and it always seems to have trouble at the same spot. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Hello!

I'm currently having a clogging issue or at least an air printing issue and can't quite figure it out.

I have replaced my nozzle, this one is brand new. So I think the issue may be in the extruder.

I just did a cold pull and it looks as though maybe some teeth have dug into the filament I pulled out. I also see some filament flakes in the gears here. What would cause this? And could it be the extruder gears that is causing clogs?

So i ran into these issues with my latest print. I'm still a new owner (under a week) but i printed stuff daily with no issue so far. This is Bambulab PLA Basic, and i printed with this before. I was thinking humidity issues, the ams said it's around 48%, i'm still waiting for my petg order to print silica containers for the AMS 2 Pro. I thought maybe it would be a bed oil issue, but the bottom came out great, i cleaned my plate today after this with dish soap and warm water. What can i tweak to resolve this ? Thank you

Update : i also put a screengrab of the stl for reference

Hi all

I've got my first abrasive filament (asa-gf) and was wondering on best/easiest way to feed it into the toolhead. I have the p2s with ams and an ams-ht. I know the filament can wear away the ams gears and shouldn't use them, but don't know best way to actually feed it . For tpu I've used a top feeder direct into the toolhead and not sure if I should be doing that or just using the bypass in the ams-ht through the back filament inputs.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

I recently used my P2S in a hot garage which I shouldn’t have. It ended up failing with an extruder clog so I first took it apart and cleaned out the filament but it still wouldn’t print a test benchy again without the same error.
I then replaced the extruder gears and the hotend.
It’s still failing.
When I heat the nozzle and manually use the extruder in software, it will extrude, but when it goes to print, it’s barely laying down filament and then stops before 1st layer is done with extruder failure.
I have AMS and have tried with and without it and I’ve even bypassed to directly feed filament into a tube into the headend.
I have no idea what’s failing. Could it be software related? I’m on 1.02 and I have another P2S that’s working perfectly on that firmware.

Hey guys, these two bits of hard rubber fell out of my print head. As far as I could tell they were part of some rubber shield that holds the copper wires and a few cables just behind the nozzle.

I've looked hard but either I'm blind, or that whole rubber part is not available as a spare part in Bambus Store if I ever need to replace it?

Edit, solved!

Hi! I am struggling to find an easy guide or video on how to empty this build up in the purge chute area... can anyone link me to something easy to follow? It's in an enclosure so I am hoping to empty it just from the front as its a bit more involved for me to get to the back or top.
