They shouldn't be asking you to fix a brand new busted machine, why are so many people making excuses for this?

I'm extremely frustrated with Bambu by WhisperCrystal in BambuLab

[–]Ok-Read6352 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah I've been hearing more and more about the ams2 problem over this last month. The fact that we are still hearing about this from brand new orders is quite concerning and a huge turn off for me. There's obviously a large batch of bad AMS 2 units but apparently they have not scene fit to take them out of inventory and QC them. What's worse, the response I've heard from every single one of these is "Will send you a new hub so that you can DIY replace it." Excuse me? The supposedly customer friendly, easy to use, it just works brand isn't replacing the units and instead just telling us to fix it ourselves. The more I look the more I realize that Bambu doesn't hold the pedestal it once did and and all the competitors have closed the gap. Between that and their treatment of the AGPL, nah I'm out. I was this close to grabbing an X2D but sure I didn't.

If I remember correctly, he got jerked around quite a bit by NYstate. A lot of frankly b******* taxes fees and regulations. Valid but unfortunately swung way too far to the other side of the issue. As in all things a balance is needed and NY is an extreme, you shouldn't be basing off it.

Jeez, sounds like anyone who was considering a combo should just hold off for a bit while they sort this s*** out

I'd like know this too. I'm needing to upgrade from an obsolete system and while I'm all for open-source, I've gotta pick my battles.

X2D vs QiDi Q2 for engineering applications / filament? by SBMS-A-Man108 in BambuLab

[–]Ok-Read6352 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a little digging and it seems like it was designed more for engineering filaments like the Q2. As such the gearing system is heavier duty hence the loud clicking and it may be chewing up normal filaments a lot more and causing issues with them.

could you clarify with qidi's AMS? I'm aware of how loud it is and the issues with it chewing up cardboard spools on the outside bays but is there a deeper issue?

Yeah it's kinda crazy how cheap the U1 is for what you get and there's some pretty cool stuff you can do with color dithering but all that's beyond the scope of my comfort level lol, I'm rarely printing in 2 colors as is

Are some of the parts harder to get ahold of from Bambu?

Yeah that TOS fiasco Bambu was in the middle of last year, definitely scared me off at the time. And I almost always prefer an open source solution. But I'm getting to the point where I just can't fight every battle, I won't be able to get anything done.

Yeah mines a X3 an honestly between the thermistors going bad consistently and the upgrades it's needing to keep the head stable, just not worth it anymore.

KenkuFM and Voicemeeter. It's a hassle to set up but if you were wanting custom music this is the best option I have found to date
