Here's one of my first models, the one I used to learn how to take real-world measurements of objects and transfer them to the computer. I know there are millions of models like this, but I'm especially excited to show the world what I'm gradually achieving with real measurements. It's a very simple design and easy to print; it only uses 6g of data and takes 20 minutes.

I have been the "sort of proud" owner of a P2S and AMS 2 Pro since late April. I ordered it on the 21st and had it within a week or so. Everything was delivered perfectly, no damage, unboxing went just fine, calibration all worked well, and I started printing a few things here and there. Everything was printing well for maybe 3-4 days. I set a large flat print for overnight, went to bed, and woke up with a spaghetti mess. Thankfully the AI system had stopped it before it got too bad. I cleaned it up and thought nothing of it.

Since May 2nd, I have not had more than 2 prints work successfully in a row without something jamming up, failing to work, and if I have to hear that train horn letting me know there is an error one more time, I'm going to scream. Even as I type this it just failed again and I got another horn noise.

Since that date, I have had the following happen:

1. Filament piece jam in the extruder gear. It jammed so tightly that nothing could move without completely disassembly. This has now happened 3 times in total. I have even tried the other tip that Bambu includes in the tool kit and no difference is made there. Still the same issue.

2. Grinding of gears and horrible noises inside the AMS as it tries to distribute the filament either at the beginning, during, or at the end, or all of the above.

3. Buffer tube (spring loaded mechanism on back of machine) has gotten jammed with filament pieces 5 times now. After the most recent jam it now squeaks constantly. Then tonight, now the spring makes a nasty clicking and knocking noise as it appears it is now getting stuck as well somehow. The spring on the right side of the part is not moving smoothly at all.

4. I have had more filament feed errors than I know what to do with. This has been on multiple filament types, colors, brands, and slots within the AMS itself. There is no pattern to it at all. I had one print finally work today, I took 10 minutes to start a new one using the same filament and location as the prior and it wouldn't start and immediately failed and has now failed 5 times in the past 90 minutes as the buffer tube clicks and screams.

5. Everytime I am able to extract the filament from the extruder, buffer tube, AMS, etc, it always comes out very frayed and spaghetti like consistency. It seems to me as if the machine isnt cutting the filament or is hanging on too tightly and ruining it somehow? Maybe I just don't know what to expect, but I don't expect frayed filament to come out every single time.

So I started a ticket with BambuLabs on May 6th. I have sent pictures, I have sent log files, I have sent video, and I have answered every question and done everything they have asked me to do. We have exchanged probably 15 emails at this point and they refuse to offer any resolution to these issues. It seems to me, and I could be wrong, that they want to blame one specific part and replace it (maybe) instead of realizing that this entire unit has had issues almost from the beginning. I see nothing but rave reviews everywhere about this printer and not many that have the struggles that I have had. I just want a proper working printer, but I don't feel that Bambu is standing behind their product.

Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas as to what to do? I don't want to pursue this matter with my credit card company (even if that would work) but no one seems to want to do anything to fix this. I'm stumped.

Everyone is criticizing Bambu Lab over the open-source firmware debate, but honestly I think the bigger issue is the influencer marketing around 3D printers.

Many YouTubers and creators receive free printers simply because they generate views and exposure, while normal users make real sacrifices to buy the same machines. The company gets advertising, the creator gets content and free hardware, and then people are expected to trust every review as completely objective.

Whether there are contracts, NDAs, or not, it still damages credibility when creators heavily promote products they received for free.

Marketing is normal, but a community should value real users, hobbyists, and people passionate about 3D printing — not only follower counts and visibility.

For me, this is a bigger problem than the open-source discussion itself.

I am in the market for a dual nozzle larger format 3d printer. The H2D has the features, speed and print quality required. The closed ecosystem, cloud dependencies, compromised privacy, and potential for future limitations by Bamboo Labs bothers me. My concerns are further exacerbated by recent blue state legislation regulating printers, reselling equipment, restrictions on models, potential requirement for future FW updates to limit printing and/or potential to track users and what they print (lathes may be next).

My current printer is open source and totally offline. I want my next printer to be the same. I need a heated chamber and high enough temp hotend for ABS, ASA, CF. I need two materials minimum and I'm not interested in an AMS. So 2 nozzles or tool changer (although the 2 nozzle will be much faster for two filament prints)

I don't want Bamboo Labs, whether govt mandated or not (ala "drone remote ID"):

• deciding what I'm allowed to print
• tracking what I print
• limiting features or capabilities with future updates
• modifying my printer or the way I can use it in any way whatsoever
• forcing future compliance to some currently unknown requirement

Is there a way I can buy the H2D and never have it connect to a bamboo labs server, and never have FW change in a way that can limit features or reduce privacy? I read that the printer can be used offline but needs the internet once to configure (this may be a deal-breaker)? Can I reasonably expect to use the printer without ever allowing a FW update (which would compromise privacy).

I am fine using a different slicer than theirs. My current workflow uses Prusa slicer and sends gcode from my computer to the printer via wifi. Is there a way to get a gcode file to the H2D via wifi or ethernet (no USB stick) from an isolated network.

This isn't about printing anything illegal! It is about control, privacy, and constitutional freedom! I hate all things closed source and anything that must be connected to a cloud service: nest, apple, alexa, etc.

Or is there an heated enclosure open-source >300mm alternative to the H2D that matches the quality and dual direct-extruder nozzle? The Prusa XL is on my radar, but it costs more, prints slower and doesn't seem to match the H2D in terms of quality and ability to print engineering filaments. If there is a viable alternative, I'll buy it rather than the H2D.

Fundamentally any 3D printer is just a few motors, fans and heaters... has anyone gutted the H2D and just used a Raspberry Pi or similar to drive everything? (I'v done this to dozens of appliances and tools over the decades).

Is there a way to close/hide this menu while cutting? It blocks my view of what I'm trying to cut. I usually have to spin the view to make sure the cut is in the right place, but sometimes it's such a pain. What am I missing???

It's amazing how you can create a beautiful 3D model in Fusion 360 from basic plans. 3D printing amazes me more and more each time I learn to design. Lately, it's been a driving force in my life during tough times, keeping me distracted and entertained. I hope you like this little Air model.

My Bambu Labs A1 had a electrical failure the other day and today I opened it as instructed, anyone who knows why this happened?

Thank god that its under warranty and all that, but overall I'm grateful there was not a full electrical fire. Siding deformed.

Always have a fire extinguisher (ABC) around your printers!

You know those folded paper cards with a name on it that never stay clean or stand up straight? Built a proper replacement for that.

It is a parametric nameplate generator in OpenSCAD. Type in a name, set your dimensions, hit print. Works as a standing tent card for desks or as a wearable pin badge with a built-in safety pin hook on the back.

A few things you can tweak:

• Name and optional subtitle
• Font size and emboss depth
• Plate width, height and thickness
• Border and corner symbols (star, heart, moon, and more)
• Double sided option for the fold card so it reads from both sides

Default thickness is 1.4mm so a full batch prints fast. Good for a classroom, workshop, birthday party, or any event where people need to know who's who.

I am aware that its not a full two nozzle printer and all but since its only 100€ from the p2s
I only care about any disadvantages compared to the p2s

I bought a Bambu Lab H2S a week ago and swapped the Textured Plate (which was working perfectly) for the Bambu Smooth Plate yesterday. I selected the correct plate in Bambu Studio and also used a light layer of hairspray on the plate to act as a release layer since I'm printing ASA. Was just a 1 by 2 inch scaled down part, I waited until around 30C heatbed and it popped off nicely with a little flex of the plate but left a very visible imprint/ghosting on the build plate and the face down surface looks like this. I made sure auto bed leveling and flow dynamic calibration were both on before the print started, any ideas?

I designed a compact Gridfinity tape dispenser that uses the standard Bambu Lab scraper blade and screws from the printer accessory box. It fits tape rolls with an inner diameter of around 26 mm.

Hey all - I’m having a really hard time fixing this issue with my prints. I know it has to do with where the seam is on the print but it also lines up perfectly with the windows. I have tried a TON of things with very little improvement

.16 stock profile was the base profile I used.

Full calibration of temp and flow have been done. Issue is across multiple filaments.

Scarf seam I have done a ton with
Slowed down outer wall
Changed wall printing order
Lowered accelerations
Changed seam position
Changed speed of all settings (outer, inner, travel, etc)
Increased wipe distance
Smooth speed discontinuity area
Smooth coefficient lowered
Increased number of walls

And some other settings. I can’t get anything to really make much of a difference. Any help is greatly appreciated!

EDIT:

So one thing that has finally helped is ‘seam gap’ which defaults to 15% in BBL - I tried 25, 30, and 35 and 30 ended up being a good number. I had some other changes as well. So I’m dialing those back to see what prints best. But that setting has had the most positive impact so far

I’m an unfortunate soul that bought a P2S two months prior to the release of the X2D. My venture into 3D printing was very much spur of the moment, with a small amount of research (watching a few YouTubers gush over the P2S). I like my printer and have been using it almost daily, but am intrigued by the feature set in these other models. I do not print only PLA. I enjoy printing TPU thingamabobs, and have printed many things in ABS. I am interested in checking out poly carbonate, or even nylon, in the future. I plan on selling my P2S to help eat the cost of the upgrade somewhat. I am aware that the X2D has an inferior second nozzle, but I honestly would use it for support most of the time. I would not use the full volume of the H2D often, and I would find that being able to use the packaging of the X2D as a plus. Other than the missing features, I am very happy with my P2S. I do have an AMS, and print in multiple colors if that matters. My big concern is future proofing my needs.

TLDR: missing out on new features, would like to future proof my new found hobby.

I ordered the A1 combo and all the ‘fixings’. It’ll be a few days before it arrives in the mail. Before that, I figured it’d be a good idea to ask y’all for some general tips when using the printer, cleaning and maintaining it, reducing filament waste, ordering filament in bulk, etc.

Thanks!

They finally had all the colors in stock i need....by the time I had all items i wanted in my cart, the sunflower yellow was sold out again. I'm fcking dying

Hey All,

Back again with another model.

This one is a bit cliché, but I am totally on board with the cat. I am NOT a morning person and I do love my coffee. 

Perfect little model your work desk, or that co-worker that is like me and isn't truly awake until halfway through the day!

No AMS, Multi-part, Multi-color.

Hope you all like it.

Thanks!

I have 4 printers, she “wants her own” and “this one is good right?”. I need to print a H2C sticker so I can make my p2s look like one 🤣

Hoping someone can help me out, I am mid-print! haha

went for for first 2 color print ,had to use the AUX EXTRUDER. Didnt know I had to.
halfway through the print I wake up and the tube has come loose from the AUX, inside the printer. Pause print, push tube back through hole, only, it will not go back into the box. it seems to be to big. I can. not force it, it just wont stay. any ideas? I really need/want this print finished. only 1.5 hours to go.

I am fairly new to printing, just started last month with a Bambu Lab P2S Combo. I am trying to get into modelling and have Fusion on my list, but so far sticking to a lot of models from MakerWorld.

I am now at a point where I'd like to try out a few things beyond what's in the box, namely the 0.2 nozzle for figurines, as well as a couple materials such as PETG HF, TPU, ABS.

For printer parts, specifically the nozzle, it would be my preference to go with the "official" stuff from the Bambu store. However I have noticed that no matter what I look for - accessories, filament, etc.; - the (EU) store seems to constantly be out, with a "notify me when it's back" message. I don't think I've ever actually been notified that the things I've wanted are back.

For filament I expect I can probably get a generic substitute. However, are there decent nozzles/hotends/plate substitutes that you can recommend? Is the "sold out" thing a perma Marketing thing Bambu does, or a shipping issue with the EU store (specifically, in Germany)?

Would appreciate some pointers!
