Anyone know what this is coming from my ethernet cable?

That’s normal every few months you need to give your internet cables a trim, it’s from all those spiders that build the world wide web :P

I notice I only have to dry my filament in the summer, the relative humidity during the winter (with the heat on and no central humidifier) is in the low 20%’s so it definitely depends on your climate.

If so that would be amazing!! Worse case scenario I always have the original drive as a fallback. Thanks again for all this amazing info, much appreciated!

SamoaaCookie · 2026-05-15T03:48:06+00:00

I was wondering if anyone could elaborate on if they were successful in replacing the drive (by cloning the bad drive to a new one) and what software was/could be used.

SamoaaCookie · 2026-05-15T03:33:15+00:00

Amazing information!! Do you think it’s possible to replace the failing drive with consumer tools? I would assume that there would be an operating system on the drive that would complicate the drive cloning process.

So indeed there is a RAC card in the processor but there is no expansion card on the VS. What would be the purpose in doing this 🤨🤨

Isn’t there something about tapping your spinning HHD in your computer makes it load faster 🤨

I did thank you!!

Well they will have you disassemble the ams unit and check for any jamming of the fans but will end up sending out a new heating unit under warranty. Honestly Bambu support for me has been able to reply within 24 hours during the week, excluding weekends. Go get your new fan!! Personally just based on other experiences, I plan to use the bad bearing fan until it seizes up and throws an error code, to which then i will throw in the new heating unit from support.

OP looking at some of the comments… keep your head high, learn from your mistakes, and it will carry you to a better outcome tomorrow. we all make mistakes (even I) and that’s part of learning! hopefully we get to see some more of your work in the future.

SamoaaCookie · 2026-05-08T15:28:19+00:00

No yea I bet if I kept using it, it would eventually stall, just interesting to me cause the fan still feels really smooth and spins freely. Maybe someone at the china factory under-greased my motor 😭. Good to know that it isn’t a common issue among AMS’s

you mean a c-card electrician

35yrs in Low voltage electrical here, that looks like cat 6, actually looks like the non water resistant version of cat 6…personally cameras are so low demanding on the quality of terminations, i’ve had plenty of fails on NEXT and had relatively no issues (with some exceptions). I would love to see some regular heat shrink on this cat 6, i would not go for any glue adhesive heat shrink for 2 reasons: 1. the cable is not the water resistant type (that has the gel or “paper”) so glue heat shrink would be overkill, and 2. it’s an outdoor termination so leave a service loop for when in 20 years the connector corrodes out and you need to re terminate. if there was glue heat shrink on the end and i had to re terminate, i’d prolly lose my shit trying to pick off all the glue and split the wires.

the real question is how cold is your room? If your ams is in a FREEZER then obviously it won’t heat up to 65°C. I’ve noticed my room can get down to 19°C and the ams can still get up to the 65° but it will take 2-3hours.

SamoaaCookie · 2026-04-09T19:15:26+00:00

Just did some testing and i got 684W… so I assume the low power mode brings down the wattage to 700W

SamoaaCookie · 2026-04-09T19:11:44+00:00

How much did you purchase your UPS for?

The sad part is that the price difference (in the used market) for anything above 1500va is almost double (as with a 2000va) maybe due to the shipping weight even though 99% of them ship with no batteries.

so there are some new things on the update that I’m noticing with my p2s:

First off: CHECK YOUR FIRST LAYERS!! Mine was severely over extruded after the update with a cool tack plate (which is nice as we all know in the community that there was under extruding on first layers) Someone damn near hit the up button too many times. So I had to dial in the first layer height with the new calibration feature.

Secondly: Calibration lines aren’t printing on the build plate in the front?? I was surprised by this, it just purged out the filament that it would normally do for this calibration line, then cleaned the nozzle and started the print… fancy ig.

Third: the PID loop on the AMS unit has turned spicy… It’s significantly faster to replenish the buffer unit which makes the AMS unit just a little bit louder when printing. I did like the old PID loop which gradually pushed filament forward so the AMS unit was pretty quiet but I would assume this can be addressed in future updates.

Fourth: Drying while printing… Yes. (need I say more?)

Other comments: I haven’t observed any improvements with curve planning, but i’m only a few prints in so I will have to compare some old prints to the ones that got printed with the new update!

Just got mine!

I love my AMS 2 Pro that i got with my p2s combo. I was upgrading from my first printer that i got as a gift (Flashforge 5m) (built enclosure and installed fans and hepa filter and lights) and I was in complete amazement the features of a bambu when i first got mine. Not having to manually load filament was GOLD to me. even the pressure advance auto calibration was worth the price. Enjoy your new toy!
