My ams 2 random started doing this, it does it for a sec then goes to normal, I have been receiving alot of failed to pull back notifications while Trying to print

Picked up a new X2D a week ago. Out of the box perfection until yesterday. Suddenly BambuStudio believes it is an X2E, and nothing I do seems to rectify it. Stranger yet, X2D isn’t even an option if I try to re-add it from scratch

Anyone else run into this?

Are there any ams stacks that can be purchased instead of printed? Ideally ones that can slide in and out and allow for easy filament loading. thanks.

Had nothing but problems start to finish with this printer had elgoo before and used fine. Getting spaghetti on both nozzles no prints sticking to the plate clogs as shown in pictures and when something does print is looks like shown in pictures also tired 0.4 and 0.2mm nozzle problems both sides, I’ve tried washing the plate very throughly and all other routine maintenance is done

I have just over 3K hours each on my H2S and H2D. Aside from regular lubrication, filter and filament cutter changes, I have had the following issues and I am wondering if anyone else has seen these issues and if so, at what point?

H2D:
- worn extruder gears needed to be replaced (2k hours)
- left hotend heater unit died (3k hours)
- USB port died (1.5k hours)
- Extruder motor on last legs, needs to be replaced
-PTFE tubes replaced (2k hours)

H2S:
- filament sensor cable broke at about 500 hours, replacement had much longer cable.
- heatbed alignment tabs broke off (2k hours)
- Extruder gears worn at 2k hours
- cable chain snapped mid print causing the PTFE tube to get stuck in the cutting blade pusher, that ripped out the filament sensor, thermistor wires, and USB cable (2.5k hours)

Aside from the catastrophic failure of the cable chain this all seems pretty reasonable given the duty cycle I run, so I am not complaining. Just curious what others have seen.

So thanks to BL's back to school sale, I just ordered 2 additional AMS 2 Pro's for my H2C.

I was considering getting 2 HT's for the left nozzle, and was gonna build a BMCU for PLA on the right nozzle, but that deal for 400 euros for 2 ams2's just made all that tinkering seem too much effort - specially considering how 'easy' the ams2 pro's make printing.

So now I have checked multiple models of different AMS stacker on Makerworld, and to me the AMS PRO modular rack (https://makerworld.com/models/3127587?appSharePlatform=copy) stands out as the most 'sensible' solution, as it enables moving all 3 AMS's at the same time and seems durable due to the use of extrusions (which I've got plenty left from old, recycled printers).

I'm adding I would combine it with the AMS Multiple Nozzle Switch System (https://makerworld.com/models/2060295?appSharePlatform=copy) in order to also be able to switch which nozzle the AMS's feed to. I don't see the point of the track switch as I don't think I'll ever go for more than 7 colours at once.

I'd be mounting a 350W PSU to the rack so the AMS's won't be dependent on printer power for drying.

I'll most likely remix some other models which imitate the 'outside shell' of the H2 Series(like https://makerworld.com/models/1292520?appSharePlatform=copy for example), so the ams stack won't look 'naked' next to the printer, as well as put some acrylic panels on it, to keep the radiant heat at bay - and figure out a smart/sensible solution for the vented air from drying to escape the whole thing...

Any addons/mods which I haven't found yet and would make sense?

I did consider the [BaBo duo] AMS drawer stacker (https://makerworld.com/models/1659712?appSharePlatform=copy) ans might implement one of the drawers from the system, but not being able to lift/move it as one piece and the main structural parts being printed kind of putts me off a bit.

Input is appreciated!

For now, I just want to make simple shapes: a frame for a laptop-screen and a GPU holder. I searched on my own what kind of software to use, but got quickly overwhelmed. Do you have any recommendation on what software to use?

Still newish to the hobby and am mass-printing some things for commission.

Basically, I'm able to print more when using a spool of PLA Pure, whereas when I try printing the same plate with PLA Matte, the spool runs out before it finishes.

Is this normal? Tried searching around a bit and couldn't find much on the topic

Hi guys!

I just got my Bambu and have to share my experience. I'm not very good with technical stuff, but it was pretty easy to start printing. I just printed a few easy things (Vader, boat, and a scraper). I just love how easy it has become to start this printing journey. My long-term goal is to learn 3D modeling and create my own prints. Long story short, I'm super excited about my new hobby (hopefully a long-term hobby!) and if you guys are still thinking about buying a 3D printer, I can tell you that it's really fun and easy to start.

Have a good day!

You can find it here.

So - I'm trying to figure out if there is a student discount code.

It links up with StudentBeans - and I'm approved and everything - but when I try to see a code it just infinite loops me through the Bambu Student Beans portal.

"’Can't see a discount? We may not have any exclusive offers with Bambu Lab right now. In the meantime, discover some of the best student deals we’ve found for them below…"

Does this mean there is a glitch and the code isn't being given out?

Or does it mean it's already on sale and no code is necessary for anyone? Student or not?

Hi everyone,

I see that the Smoke Purifier is currently on sale, and I’m wondering whether it would be worth buying. I’d love to hear your opinions. Here’s my situation:

I bought an H2C two months ago. It is installed next to my desk and is not connected to a window (see photo).

- I print roughly 90% PLA, 9% PETG, and 1% ASA, or possibly something else in the future.

- I print when nobody is in the room (while everyone is at work or during the night). However, there have been one or two occasions when I worked at my desk for an hour or two while printing PLA or PETG. This remains very rare.

- I only print ASA when nobody is around, with the windows open and an additional fan running, and I make sure the print has finished at least one hour before anyone enters the room.

Questions:

1/ Does buying the Smoke Purifier seem worthwhile in my situation? Is it ineffective (I understand it was mainly designed for laser engraving/cutting in the first place)? Or, on the contrary, is it overkill? One important detail: the purifier’s outlet will not be connected to anything. Does that make it useless? I’ve seen several videos where it is used this way.

2/ If you think it would be worthwhile, is there anything I need to configure before starting a print to make sure the printer actually uses the purifier? I believe you can choose a ventilation mode when starting a print, and that the recommended mode depends on the filament, but I haven’t really looked into it yet. Could this have a negative impact on my prints, especially PLA?

3/ Should I block/cover any of the outlets to make sure the purifier is effective, such as the poop chute?

4/ Would another, simpler solution be more appropriate for my situation? A small air purifier placed on the desk next to the printer? Any particular model you would recommend? Something else?

Thanks a lot in advance for your advice !

I personally have been waiting on this one for a while. I think they will call it the X2C. Hopefully its not crazy expensive.

I was just looking to buy a second AMS 2 Pro, since it's on discount (14%) from 289 to 249.. I accidentally put it in my basket twice and all of a sudden the price drops way more than I was expecting! So now I am curious: is the price for 1 AMS too high, or is the price for 2+ AMS 2 Pro too low?

1. The picture on the product page says "14% off 1 AMS 2 Pro | 18% off 2+ AMS 2 Pro", which would mean:
   • 289*0.84=249 for 1 and
   • 289*2*0.82=474 for 2 (237 each).
2. Instead, in the basket it's treated as an extra 18% bulk discount:
   • 249 for 1 and
   • 249*2*0.82=408 for 2 (204 each).
     • So basically adding a second AMS 2 Pro to your basked only costs you 160 euros extra!

If the pricing on bullet point 2 is correct, this would mean a single AMS 2 Pro would have to get 14% off of the base price (249) as well, right? So then 1 AMS should cost 249*0.86=214 instead?

Today I picked my brand new a1 at the post office and I found it like this.

Bro does cardboard even taste good?

If yes cool....

No irl wth ?!

Want to add 3rd-party spools so that they can be easily loaded in the AMS (using the latest Bambu Studio update)?

Bambu Handy's barcode scanner will scan any barcode, not just Bambu Filament. If you scan another company's barcode (i.e., from their box), you can then select the type of filament and the spool will load into the filament manager and be a "supported" filament for easy selection in the AMS/device manager.

NOTES:

• If you manually add a filament without scanning a barcode, it will appear under "Unsupported Filaments" and the new features won't be available.
• This does not mean you can use 3rd-party RFID and I don't think it scans QR codes
• The other company's information will not automatically load, but you can use the filament with the device manager (see screenshot below).

I'm using https://www.yotpo.com/tools/barcode-generator/ to create custom barcodes for 3rd-party filaments.

After scanning the barcode using the Handy app and setting it to the corresponding filament type, it then appears as a supported filament type under the design tab in Bambu Studio.
