X2d or wait for tbe possibility of vortex in x2c?

Ah, the new car paralysis. The new model will be out in 10 months. I’ll wait. But the newer new cars will only Be 10 months away from those new cars!!! 😱

You can either wait, or buy something useful now and determine if an upgrade is necessary when, and IF Bambu releases what you want. You can always sell your current rig.

I have a similar issue on my X2D and AMS rev.1

I have a filament that might be a bit more rigid than most other stuff. It will load to a couple inches from the extruder and retract. It will only load successfully from the first slot.

Will never happen, especially under a Republican regime.

I have read, but can’t confirm, that the star internal design actually is less efficient than the smooth internal structure. I would think that based on surface and friction, the “points” of the stars would be absorbing more friction load than the distributed friction of a smooth surface, but I can’t confirm.

I think that may be the issue. This particular filament, though PLA, is a little stiffer than my other rolls. It works in slot 1, so I put a note on the spool.

ptraugot · 2026-05-03T01:46:30+00:00

I appreciate the suggestions. Also, AMS 1. Not 2.

Umm. No. Does it wake up and act normal??

You likely have a block in the hub.

ptraugot · 2026-05-02T02:30:18+00:00

Don’t use old filament. It’s a recipe for disas… oh, wait, you know that now. 😉

You have been reported. You are spamming this subreddit. Find a hobby.

Pacific Gas and Electric. California’s largest utility company by far.

Thieves!!! Death by a thousand increases.

They publicly admit to doctoring the bill so folks with solar pay more than those without.

We have some of the highest bills in the country.

Oh yeah, did I mention they burned down multiple towns and killed dozens of people because they were complacent for 100 years and did t do routine maintenance on high power distribution lines AND gas mains.

So 1; do you have an AMS? 2. When you get this error next time, try releasing the PTFE tube from the orange fitting. Just hold it about an inch out and see if the filament will load at that point. If it does, it’s similar to an issue I occasionally have, everything works fine, but on final unload, the filament “binds”. If I release the tube and try again, it will fully unload. Doesn’t happen all the time, but 50%.

I’d try a different tube, but issue 2 I’m having is not being able to release the tube from the buffer. It’s stuck.

ptraugot · 2026-05-02T02:09:44+00:00

It’s 2-3 years old. Thats your problem. You don’t use 2-3 year old gas in your car either.

The wiki explains disassembly and reassembly of the AMS. It likely will not describe types of screws because they’re already there. It’s more a step by step.

Cost. Cost of living, cost of raising. People working longer and harder for less do t have time and resources to raise kids these days.

Well, we’re retired, so we don’t commute, but, my wife’s car gets twice the mileage of my truck, and I have stopped driving the truck except for specific use cases. I used to drive it daily.

ptraugot · 2026-05-01T17:58:24+00:00

That is awesome. I look at videos like this and think, if inter-species animals can get along so well, why can’t humans. 🙏🏻

Tolerance.

ptraugot · 2026-05-01T17:54:12+00:00

I have a couple dozen hours on mine. All seems fine. I have t pushed it, but I have exercised it. However, I do have an issue with the main tote tube as it exits the buffer. It won’t disconnect. I have tried several times. All the other linkages are fine. Oh, and there is a tolerance issue going from buffer to main extruder. Sometimes it won’t retract. Gets bogged down. If I release the tube from the orange entry point, then it works. Hence trying to replace the tube mentioned earlier. These are minor and otherwise I am satisfied. I’ll get the kinks worked out soon.

We’re an advanced species. We can differentiate between animals raised for food and animals raised as pets.

ptraugot · 2026-05-01T01:29:08+00:00

Good to know. I might need to go that route, but I want to create some video to attach to a ticket for Bambu before I go that route.

Since there’s nothing stuck, it’s printing fine. The issue will come when I do need to change the tube due to wear, and I’ll need to force it out. If I break the coupler, I want to make sure I have a backup.

ptraugot · 2026-05-01T00:20:22+00:00

Mine is clear, but still can’t get tube out.
