quick update
I switched to .4 default nozzle. This had a drastic effect. The x2d now prints now print as expected with PPA-CF. kind of good news.
I guess x2d cannot use .6 HF nozzles on anything other than basic materials like PLA… At least I could not figure out how to do so. 4-5 days of trial and error. I personally think its something to do to with the HF nozzle vs .6 nozzle size.
This is not the first time I have problems with HF nozzle. I have found HF nozzles get clogs and filament breaks in the head when using material with CF. I have not had these issue with using non-HF nozzles.
Correct me I am wrong, but HF nozzles have a more complex pathway inside the nozzle? they do so for added heated surface area? That also seems to result in more clogging potential with materials like CF filled.
I could be wrong. But I think I am done with the BL HF nozzles for now. Benefits are marginal IMO… And I am sick of having to pull apart the printer and filament path to diagnose and fix clogging problems… Let alone poor print quality on some materials
Dear Bambu Labs
You should have worked out the kinks and developed a comprehensive set of profiles for material and nozzle combinations for x2d… You did not. I go with Bambu Labs products for the Ecosystem. I just want to use the printer.
With the x2d I have been forced into developing my own material/printer profiles for your materials and nozzles. Kind of sucks… I don’t want to spend time doing this.
The automatic heating/cooling modes on x2d SUCK. You are overriding user settings. it’s unpredictable and confusing. I think I get what you are going for. But since you did not put in the work to get x2d to work well with all the combinations of material and nozzles you offer. you are just causing print failures and frustration. Seems like you only payed attention to PLA.
You need to add a “disable Strong cooling mode and heating mode” option for users.
Fingers crossed BL addresses some of this soon
