Thought it was stored dry so I’d try printing without drying first as it wasn’t going to use much filament anyway, didn’t get away with it this time but after 6 hours of drying it printed perfectly 👌 Sunlu dryer at temp setting 2 for Matte PLA with a load of colour changing silica gel in the middle of the role rather than in the compartment at the back of the dryer

Troubleshooting Nozzle at 0 degrees

Hi i have a bambu lab h2s and after a little blob on the nozzle of the printer the temperature has been stuck at 0 degrees.

I've talked with the bambulab team and they sent me a new heat assembly module beliving that was the cause of the problem but after (i think) corectly installing it, I still have the same problem as before where the temperature is stuck at 0 or voes between 0 and 3 degrees with the fan at maximum speed and i don't have any clue on what's causing the problem, i would really like to continue 3d printing but I don't have any clue on how to resolve the issue

Details in original post. The design is a 6mm piece with a 1.5-2mm radius on all four edges.

Bambu A2L and X2D using Bambu Studio.
Filament is dry and plates are meticulously cleaned.
Stringing issue more like the wall is collapsing and stretching somehow.
Always the inner radius, always within the first 2-3 layers. Prints fine after that.
Tried several nozzle and plate temps.
Tried several plate types both physically and in settings.
Tried every fan setting I could.
Tried slowing down movement.
Tried printing infill first then inner wall then outer wall, no change.
Happens on several different filaments but sometimes prints fine. Bambu PLA basic jade white seems to ALWAYS do it no matter what.

Fix My Print Weird chipping/imperfections on tall thin print

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

Hello,

I've recently started designing my own 3D Models which honestly has been going great so far.

But the actual printing is where I seem to be struggling a bit and not finding a solution.

I've got myself a bambu lab p2s because it's so easy to just use other peoples print profiles with all the needed settings but now with my own models I'm struggling with the printer settings. With PLA I've not really had any problems but this model has to be printed with PETG and it's reacting very different than PLA.

My main problem:

Chipping/dents/little blobs at the edges/corners of these tall thin pillars. (thinnest 6mm, widest 12mm)

My printer:

Bambu Lab P2S

Slicer: Bambu Studio

Filament:

Bambu PETG Matte Black

My current print settings:

0.4mm Standard nozzle - 240 C temp

15% infil

2 wall loops

.16 layer height

outer wall 60mm/s

inner wall 300mm/s

Bed Temp 70 C

Retraction Length 0.4mm

Z hop Spiral

Retraction Speed is N/A, if toggled on 30mm/s. but I had it off.

(if I'm missing any important settings please ask and I'll see what they're set at)

Any tips on how to fix this problem?

I know theres also a line where the tiny arch connects at the bottom but I'm pretty sure that's because of the failed support (did a lil weird spaghetti so didn't support anything). I've now manually painted the supports which will hopefully fix that problem...

if there are any other things I could improve/fix please be free to let me know. I'm welcome to all help as I'm a complete noob!

Just finished this tape dispenser on my Bambu Lab P1S. First issue I’ve encountered. The print overall turned out great.

Just got the filament delivered today, maybe wet filament?

This is the first print I had any imperfections and maybe my 11th print overall so far on this P1S w/ AMS.

Settings were default for Bambu PLA from Bambu studio

Any suggestions are appreciated. I am new to owning the P1S, still trying to learn. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Fix My Print 3D printer making loud clicks while travelling? Ender 3 v3 plus

3 Upvotes

I recently had a print fail, resulting in a spaghettification and the print being knocked free of the board that wasn't spotted quickly. I cleaned up the mess as per usual, and tried to print another file, only to notice the printer clicking loudly when travelling.

Initially, I wondered if it was the filament extruder, but it seems to be working fine and without noise.

Moving the nozzle up and down or side to side I can feel some unsual slight resistance, and it seems to click regardless of the axis (The bed travels fine and without noise and resistance). I can't see any filament clogging the belts, or inside any of the belt housings.

I need my 3D printer for school work 🥺

I'm at work now, so I don't have a picture of the top surface, but it looks over extruded. In the middle of the print, they're was also this strange problem that solved itself but make that section really weak.

Just bought this creality printer and I’m super new to printing. Ive never seen tree supports like this any time I’ve used them it’s just been an enclosed tube why do they have structure all of a sudden and no walls. This could just be a setting i clicked if so will it affect my print.(maybe im just stupid and its actually working correctly please let me know🥲)

Fix My Print What is causing these globs?

I've picked off two of these globs of filament, but this one is super stuck on and I have to stop my print. I'm printing with petg at 240°c and I believe a 0.4mm nozzle. I have a pretty old Craft Bot Pro, but it's worked good up until I accidentally nuked my slicer settings. Most of my settings on the craft bot slicer got cleared and I'm not sure what I could change. Any help would be appreciated 🙏

Fix My Print Print Issue with Raised Logo in Bambu Studio

Thumbnail
gallery
4 Upvotes

Issue Summary

A recent Bambu Studio update might have changed how fine lines are sliced, causing a previously good quality print to drop text outlines and malform small letters (in the preview and the physical print). These are small sized details, I understand. I am trying to address the issue by updating settings, including making sure Arachne is selected. I know a 0.2mm head would likely resolve, but the print head has never had to be changed. I am using Bambu Studio 2.8.61.1, and the printer has firmware 1.12.00.00. I have successfully printed other objects with this combination and have not had any issues like this issue. The small details disappear now, before they printed. Thank you if you can help, and sorry if my post is not short enough.

Description (a long read for those that made a comment, but thank you if you help)

My 3+ year old print no longer prints the details on my keychain model as it has in the past. In preview you can see the issue - the details don't print at all or they are incomplete. They were not last year. Not new, not the greatest 3D print technician, I guess, but 1,500 hours of printing across the printers I have, all personal

The model is printed in PLA using 3 colors: all matte, Polyterra Matt Black, Bambu Matte White, and Bambu Matte Red. I have printed with other brands over time, depending on what I had available.

I have tried it with 0.12mm High Quality, 0.08mm Extra Fine, and 0.20mm Standard. They all have the same issue. Otherwise, standard settings as the app opens, and had few other settings. The infill is rectilinear, 65%, 1 Fill Multiline. Standard heat settings, but since this is showing up in Preview it is not a physical filament print issue. I tried other fill types; same result. Wall loops 2. *I suspect a wall, fill, or related setting is the issue, but I cannot find it.

The text with the year is replaced each year. The print looks fine in design mode. The text is raised, the red portion of the logo is raised, and the black outline around the logo is raised. The text is sunk a little to help it adjhere. It has not sheared off in past designs. You can see a version printed last year (2026) and this year (2027). The text changed a little, but it uses the same text tool , font, and size in Bambu Studio. BTW the old saved model that printed last year has the same issue.

I made *no changes* to the model settings when I opened it with this year's new version. Just deleted the old text and added the new text using the Text tool in Bambu Studio. I printed the model, and it reflects exactly what the Preview shows - no outline, letters malformed.

I tried a few adjustments and only got other problems, including the black outlining forming odd connections to the red letters and little connectors when I tried Thin Wall (so clearly a) I don’t know what that does, b) it does not fix my issue, and 3) it creates weird things I did not expect. Going to Arachne helped with the black frame but screws up the text portion of the logo now.

These are gifts for the graduating seniors playing tennis; my son is their coach, and I really want to resolve this so we can present them. I have included screenshots of the item in Bambu Studio, a basic shot of the settings panel to show the fonts and a few of the objects, and a picture of the two printed versions next to each other.

I hope someone can help diagnose what is going on, redesigning this would be a lot of work with limited time. I can provide the model if needed, upload it to my account, or something. I really don't want to put this in the public domain; a set of coasters I did suddenly ended up everywhere, so I didn't like that (not a commercial issue, but I didn't want it out).
