P2S vibrating sidewall panel ( Leftside )

When printen small circular items, the left side of side panel vibrates and make a annoying noise. When printing exact the same thing with my P1S there is no problem.
Who has the same problem?

Some screws are loose maybe?

Will check it ones the print is done… If this a the case. Bad QC from bambu :frowning:

Looks like Bambu sells this machine in “Early Access” state, but they just forget to add that label on their webshop.

Did take a look at the manual “how to” for the left panel. No way I’m going to do all that stuff. Removing foamtape and pulling half the printer a part to a printer that is 3day old.

Welcome to the new era!

We are no longer buyers, we are testers. The only difference is that we don’t get paid to test, we pay ourselves to test.

If I don’t find a easy/quick fix… Out he goes. Still have my perfect printing P1S :-).

It wouldn’t be the first QA issue they’ve missed. Some H2D units are still being shipped with incorrectly assembled parts that can actually damage the printer if not corrected before use.

I’ve had multiple support cases showing serious lapses in quality control.

The mildest example was my dual filament guide — one screw had been over-tightened, cracking the housing. They did send a replacement, but for a printer in this price range, you’d expect far better QA.

Yeah the big thin unsupported panels act like speakers for all the vibration.

I’m taping on 700g of PLA to each side to mass load it. I did a similar thing for my P1S’s.

One side done! It’s a bit nicer to look at than the grey box and the oversized Bambu logo (at least for me)

Problem is resolved, it was a 1 in a million case where the ‘harmonics’ of the vibrations where perfect in sync with the left side panel :laughing:. When printing the piece at different place on the plate is was almost zero the noise :grinning:.

The firts thing i printed is a circular piece and OMG the noise of this vibrations it’s horrible i work in the office and with P1S and H2D at same time printing is only a little sound without problems.
But this P2S OMG!! when finish this print i start to put sound panels inside the printer for try to reduce noise.

like this (1 year ago i put this for avoid a little vibrations in my p1s):

I went to print a Disney Stitch knitted design look model last night and the vibration was that bad I cancelled the print job, it was quite loud when print the support trees which were just round shaped :frowning:

I did try printing another model (of a completely different model/shape) which I have printed a few times and that was fine. I also have had the printer less than two weeks, and was worried if the printer was broke or faulty already.

Do you think it could be the placement on the plate as the same with your problem.

The fact that the leftside panel is thin plastic, it easly takes the vibrations and amplify them (just like a drum). So if you put some extra weight are add some reinforcement on the left panel will already help a lot to reduce these vibrations. Even just putting the 2e fan will help a lot ;-).
