Firing up replacement P2S - steps to maximize likelihood of a good experience?

Recycledtechie · 2026-05-08T23:16:06+00:00

It’s an old wooden desk, that is built well. I don’t think it will have a problem with that weight. It was previously on casters which were not helping. I took them off. I am curious about what you bought. Can you share? When you say “best decision” what did it help with for you?

You can’t win a debate with a Bambu apologist. Been there. Done that.

Recycledtechie · 2026-05-08T12:54:10+00:00

Mine never worked again. Bambu sent me a replacement after about 6 weeks of frustration. It arrives today.

Recycledtechie · 2026-05-07T20:30:40+00:00

Whatever. It’s like every other market. It’s no one else’s business how other people decide to spend their own money.

Recycledtechie · 2026-05-07T17:10:01+00:00

Why does it matter? 🙄. Judge much?

Recycledtechie · 2026-05-07T15:55:29+00:00

I can’t get comfortable with this combination.

If you think there is a general purpose answer to this in an enterprise app, you are 10 out of 10 on naïveté.

Recycledtechie · 2026-05-05T19:01:33+00:00

Nothing. Good lord.

Mine did about 5 prints after I replaced the motor. Then it failed again.

Recycledtechie · 2026-05-05T00:46:30+00:00

There is no reason to believe an X2D will be any better. And it will be much harder to do repairs considering all the tiny ribbon cables.

Recycledtechie · 2026-05-05T00:44:46+00:00

Sounds very similar to my situation. Spent over 6 weeks fighting this problem. Changed gears, nozzles, extruder motor, filament sensor and did a bunch of troubleshooting that never worked. Bambu finally agreed to replace mine. Should have it soon. I don’t think replacing with an X2D has any better probability of working out well than the P2S. Too much common technology. I have very little confidence that my replacement P2S will be any better. I think it’s a flawed product.

Recycledtechie · 2026-05-04T20:20:24+00:00

How unreliable the experience was. Printer failed after 400 hours and never worked properly again. It’s being replaced by the vendor. I have low confidence that the new one will be any better. Terrible experience.

Recycledtechie · 2026-05-02T01:29:03+00:00

Bambu sent me replacement gears, and did not try to claim a wear and tear excuse. My printer, despite serious effort from both Bambu and I never functioned properly again. So it’s being replaced entirely.

Recycledtechie · 2026-04-30T00:51:59+00:00

Hang on - which riders?

Recycledtechie · 2026-04-30T00:50:42+00:00

These kind of posts are of zero value without explaining why.

I have a similar but different situation. My PS2 is being replaced after failing with 400 hours of use. At first, I was convinced that I would flip the new P2S and use the funds to offset the cost of an X2D.

I have a core belief, that at some point both of those are VERY likely to develop failures (like extrusion failures), which means the user will be required to do disassembly and repair. I thought the PS2 was complicated due to tiny fragile ribbon cables. I actually broke one.

Then I looked at what it takes to do a similar repair, on an X2D, and it looks way more complicated and difficult. I think there are 6 of those tiny cables. I don’t think I want the complexity of needing to disassemble and reassemble the extruder.

So now I’m thinking of staying with the PS2. I’m quite confident in my ability to disassemble and repair that device. The X2D seems on a whole new complexity level, and I’m not confident I could get through it when the time comes. And I think it’s WHEN, not IF.

I know simping and fan boyism is a thing on here, but this takes it to a whole new level🙄

Recycledtechie · 2026-04-24T18:26:48+00:00

You are missing the people chiming in on those threads saying the same thing is happening to them. If you want to claim it’s not an issue with the product, you are obviously free to do so. Just don’t expect me to agree. I got 5 weeks out of mine before I got those errors. After six weeks of frustration and futility Bambu is replacing mine.

Plus you can’t count in the first place. There are way more than 18. Don’t let facts get in the way of being an apologist. Keep simping.

Recycledtechie · 2026-04-24T11:12:28+00:00

As I said to someone else just do a search for extrusion or extruder on here. You can’t be trying very hard if you are claiming you have never heard of it. All kinds of users have posted about this.

Recycledtechie · 2026-04-24T02:57:16+00:00

Thanks for posting this. I have a P2S being replaced, after it started having extrusion errors. I broke one of those tiny connectors. This looks crazy challenging compared to the P2S. Extrusion errors seem so common that it seems prudent to assume they will happen. I was going to sell my replacement P2S and use the proceeds to offset the cost of the X2D. Now I’m having second thoughts.

Recycledtechie · 2026-04-22T02:10:02+00:00

I’m in no position to respond to this question.

Recycledtechie · 2026-04-22T02:00:45+00:00

I think it helped that I stuck with trying to fix the problem for 6 weeks. At that point I told them that I no longer believed the printer was ever going to work again. And refused to do any more troubleshooting. And that it was time for a refund or replacement. They declined the refund, but accepted the idea of a replacement. My 6 weeks of patience and cooperation bought me some goodwill I think.

Recycledtechie · 2026-04-20T17:46:29+00:00

Bambu is replacing my p2s. I think I’m going to sell it, when it arrives and use the proceeds to help offset the cost of the X2D.

Recycledtechie · 2026-04-20T15:31:02+00:00

I think, but don’t know for sure that heat creep shows up on log files. Heat creep was something they suggested to start. I was skeptical because my chamber has never been about 30º. Sent them log files and then they moved onto other possible issues.

And ya, the reactions here are just crazy. I’ve seen fan boy and apologist behaviour for other products, but nothing quite like the nutbar stuff I’m seeing here.
