I cone from that era too and I rather use hairspray on the P1 series to avoid a multipaet print to be un monitored and not having a single piece kick out the rest than risk the fail. But after that era it came the era of the IPA and soaps… Until now and the cryoplates

no matter it is or not designed for industrial use, FLIR devices need to be calibrated for different materials, especially for coated materials like PEI plates. Most consumer level devices don’t provide this feature and even some industrial devices dont as well because they are basically calibrated for a few usage cases.
It could be just a defective build plate tbh. I had a similar experience with Super Tack with my X1C. One plate simply don’t stick and warps all the time. The other one always work fine.
Quality control is … 0 for these accessories I guess. Just like their fialment refills. But no the bed design itself is totally fine, I never had any adhesion issue with it, large or small, low temp or high temp. It’s very likely just a plate issue, or something is wrong with your heater so that it’s not reaching the target temperature. Would be better if you can use a thermal thermistor.
Not even sure what does that mean. P1 is a 400 printer that prints over and over and over with the same or different filament brands and colors and don’t require a NASA grade to operate. OK, not tooperate but to get the same results from. If you release a new product, part of your testing should be focused on reliability AS GOOD AT LEAST as your predecessor,…
So for those of you with the “these printers are not meant for industrial use”… Well, to me, a “printer farming” as we know it in our sense may not necessarily mean Vodoo Manufacturing grade, just “enough identical printers to reduce printing time for the same type of prints my customer base needs”, period.
I’m not asking for surgical precision here, just a fire n forget device LIKE THEIR PREDECESSORS which are way cheaper. 90% cheaper in the extremest case.

well good luck printing then
Looks like you’ve worked out your own solution then. 
I think the H2D is a good printer and can be the best printer out now once things are fine tuned. However I see a lot of people on here making excuses for issues that a lot of people are having. I’m not expecting this printer to be flawless as FDM has its limitations, BUT I do expect results to be as good as there cheaper printers.
People(and my self) have had issues with this printer that is very common on other printers. I can write those off if it truly is an inherent issue with FDM printing. However Bambu set the bar with their other printers that DON’T have some of these issues or are getting better results with some of the same issues. So I expect their newest flag ship printer to be AS good as those. And any new features to work with repeatability with decent results. Not a c**p shoot from printer to printer with factory default settings.
I think a lot of these issues can be resolved in time and that Bambu spent way too much time adding Laser and other options to the printer instead of fine tuning the printer, filament profiles, and printer settings to work properly for printing like they did with previous printers. We are now the test subjects and the BETA program is doing the R&D for them to figure it out.
EDIT: My only real issues as of now after changing out my tool head.
- Banding(z banding sort of) on geometry changes with PLA, PETG on geometry changes only. Issue is on the PART with the geometry change or any other part on the same print bed.
- 0.2mm nozzle causing issues with extruder overload warning on 0.08mm layer height.
- Nozzles loading up with filament on multi-print files when doing nozzle offset calibration BEFORE the print starts. This is ONLY on the nozzle that has filament preloaded in the extruder due to oozing while doing the offset calibration. They should just load the filament after all pre-print calibrations are done if the filament is loaded with the AMS.
- Excessive nozzle build up on PETG prints and balling which leads me to believe its a filament/printer profile setting that needs adjustment.
NOTE: I either do not have these issues at all with my A1 mini or they are significantly better. I don’t have nozzle build up issues on the A1 mini, I don’t have issues printing with 0.2mm nozzles at all on the A1 mini, Banding is almost non existent on geometry changes.
So yeah I expect the H2D to achieve the same results and have the added benefit of 2 nozzles and a bigger print bed. I don’t think that is asking too much.
That being said, this printer is amazing for TPU for me and I love being able to print TPU layers on the bottom of parts and mixing the materials. The H2D is doing that extremely well.

If this were any other brand, you all would be saying different.
Streetsports why did you delete your post? If it wasn’t for that other poster quoting you I would have missed it!
That whole yelling out the window at a broken down car “mine runs great” was hilarious! I am going to remember that and repeat that whenever some smartazz on Reddit responds that way to someone having trouble haha. I can’t help picturing you pulling over and yelling at some poor soul in a broken down vehicle “mine runs great” with your wife yelling at you and you retorting “I just want to let him know that most cars run great in case he forgets.”

This is great! By the way, MINE RUNS GREAT TOO! 150+ hours and have not had a single issue… I’m going to throw this out there: Yes, there will be some machines with problems coming from the factory, but I believe there are tons of people doing stup** sh** with their printers and then calling it a lemon.
When I was a kid there was a park on our way from our house to the freeway with a huge fountain. Every single time we would drive by and a wedding was going on my dad would roll the window down and yell “RUN, RUN”. Us kids thought it was absolutely hilarious, my mom was horrified and would yell at my dad. “Why do you do that?, Stop” and we found that equally funny. My dads response was always “I’m just trying to help a poor guy out”. Now that I’m an adult I see how messed up it was, but I still laugh every time I think about it. I sure do miss my dad.

That’s funny too! Hah 
Well I’ve had my H2D combo for a few days now and all my worrying was for nothing because it prints as good or better than my P1S with 2200h which runs like brand new. I’ve printed a bunch of the same parts on both machines.

Took it down because its really not worth the time. Anybody with eyeballs can read all the issue threads. Its cultism at its finest. Usually the same few people too.
Im happy enough with my printers, but they definitely still have issues. They are slowly working on things through updates, which means that it was in fact half baked. They just didnt want to push the release date a 3rd time. My favorite thing is when someone says they have a perfect machine and then you see them asking for help 3 days later. Or joining in on the layer line thread.
Its like this with any product. I assume its people that only get to buy 1 printer every 5 years, so when they hear something negative about it, they take it personal. Almost like they are scared that their purchase isnt perfect. These same people will bash other companies for having the same sort of issues.
Almost everybody slowly realizes. Its only a handfull of diehards that stick to their guns. If these were the only people posting, nothing would ever get fixed

That is funny, but sometimes people do that to warn others. It’s just a negative product review - often it’s just revenge and anger, but some people are trying to warn the market about a problem.

Fanboy is a baseless insult that means nothing. If I have a random “insert” brand name printer and it works as everything I bought it for does that make me a “fanboy” or just a satisfied customer?
Everytime I hear somebody throw out the word fanboy it just means they lost the argument and have no real facts or evidence to backup their claims.

No, that doesn’t make you a fanboy.
Fanboys have an emotional attachment, personal identification and allegiance that transcends objective product satisfaction.
I have a flip-up magnifier I like and won’t buy any other brand because I think mine is the best. That doesn’t make me a fanboy. What would make me a fanboy is if I felt the need to “defend” my flip-up magnifier (or the company that makes it) against detractors online.

Very disapointed by my H2D. I just have 6 prints in a row that the nozzle hit the mesh or the support. I changed the Z hop, the speed, the retraction option.
With no success. I dont know what i can do ? My filaments are new.
Heya Godardp, it might help to have a picture or video of what is going on. You say the nozzle is hitting the print and messing it up, a video would be most helpful. What kind of supports? .4 nozzle? I’m guessing it is tree supports?
I was going to suggest starting a new thread but I you haven’t worked up the forums points required to be able to.

These comments are super fun to read through to try to find if someone actually posted a solution in this thread. Good god. Anyway, try disabling the exhaust vent thing. Functional Print Friday just did a video talking about how it warped prints in his climate, and how to disable it in the slicer.
