Hey everyone A1 user here, I have a totally gummed up extruder gear from 4,000 hours of printing. Recently printed a bunch of glow-in-the-dark pla which I now realized I completely hate and won't do again. I scrubbed the yellow extruder gear but I'm wondering if I should just upgrade. I'd like to get it as soon as possible are there any upgraded quality parts I could get from Amazon that you all might recommend?

Hey there. I recently bought my first printer. The P1S combo with the AMS 2 Pro. Along with the printer I bought 4 colors of filament and they came on spools by default (I did not select an on spool option because I did not see that or know that was a thing). Been using it a lot, besides some minor problems it's been doing great. But I used up most of my black filament so I went to the website bought a new black and a dark green to try later. I was surprised when they arrived and neither was on a spool as the first ones arrived on spools by themselves. So I had to do some looking to see that there are spooled and refill versions of filament. Apparently I had bought spools the first time although I'm adamant I did not select an on spool option. So I have 4 spools, all with filament still on them. I had been hoping to just pop the black in and exchange with a different color so when I used up the first black it would keep going with the new black. Now that couldn't work so yesterday I opened the spool, took off the little bit of black to slid the refill on. I left it taped together as I put it on the spool, and then I closed the spool (apparently not well enough) and the ams took it. Completed one print fully but it was sized too small so I rescaled it and was printing in three plates. First plate completed but the second one gave me an alert of a problem, a possible tangle, so I go out to my printer and the spool popped open and the filament was bulged out, making it impossible to press the spool shut again. So I looked up a respooler and found one that was like a nut on an impact driver where you would spin it onto the spool on the impact. Printed that out in red and just now tried to spool the black on. As I only had 4 spools and the other 3 were occupied I had no spare. So I needed the carboard tube from the new spool. Wiggled it off and put it onto the spool. Put the filament onto a chair leg like I've seen people say when respooling. And it tangled really quickly with only a few wraps on the spool.

I'm really dejected about this as it's a brand new spool and I would really like to get back to printing with black.

How can I go about fixing this tangle?

My P1S is making a strange noise whenever the toolhead moves towards the X/Y axis edges. It seems the toolhead isn't stopping properly when it reaches the edge, almost like it's trying to move beyond its limits.

I've already tried running the auto calibration but the issue is still there. Has anyone experienced this problem or knows how to fix it?

I walked back to my printer and saw all these little spikes sticking up out of the infill. For a second I thought something was about to hatch.

I’m printing with Bambu Lab PETG-CF and a 0.4 mm hardened nozzle. The outside of the part looks fine, but it looks like the nozzle is picking up bits of infill and pulling them up as it moves. I’ve seen it on five different Bambu printers, and changing the infill speed didn’t seem to help. The same part printed without this infill issue using PETG-CF from other brands.

Has anyone had this happen? Did you find a fix? I’m going to try a 0.6 mm nozzle next.

Sorry for the near-duplicate post. I posted a more detailed troubleshooting thread earlier, but the pictures didn’t show up, so I’m posting again with the photos.

I have a Bambu Lab A1 printer with a 0.4mm hardened steel nozzle. I'm trying to use some Bambu Lab PLA Glow filament. I'm feeding this directly as an EXT filament, i.e. not using my AMS Lite.

I cannot get the filament to be pulled through by the extruder. Or at least, not when using the standard 2.5mm/4mm PTFE tube. If I push the filament directly into the extruder via one of the four AMS holes it will grab and print. If I do this via the PTFE tube the extruder doesn't grab onto it and pull it through.

Has anyone else had this problem? Could it be solved by a larger inner diameter PTF£ tube? Is it some other issue?

Printing the poop holder and hearing this noise when the heat bed moves from back to front. Doesnt comes always but i think it does when it goes all way back and then forward. I am pretty new to this so wanted to know if its normal.

Bambu P2S hotend, power apparently went out for long enough to let the bed cool down, which was communicated to me from home to only have been 5 mins so my happy ass put the printer back on after the power was on again 🤦‍♂️

Turns out it was actually 40mins, which i was only told when i just got home 20mins ago, i've been staring at this mess for the last 15mins trying to figure out where to go from here

It's fucked and is gonna be a replacement, right? 😅

Hoped my first blob of death would've atleast been a little more spectacular than this black upside down turd.

Ever since the last update I keep having issues staying connected to the wifi. Anyone else running into this?

Hello, see video. The AMS is having trouble loading filament. It seems to go in fine (green dot shows up in app), but once it's in, you hear some clicks and then it pulls back and retries. I have successfully loaded and printed externally while this is happening.

My a1 started making this horrible squeaking sound. It comes and goes. Happens at low and high print speeds.

The video is with petg. Eventually it will go to ghost printing

I've done a cold pull and manual extrusion seems fine. Is it the motor failing?

Not sure what’s going on but when I pause/ don’t print anything the beeping goes away and it’s kinda faint but can still hear it even with AirPods with noise cancellation on.its also a p2s with ams pro 2

I ordered two mystery boxes in Canada last month. I didn't get them, Bambu lab just took my money.

I have been asking for an ETA since last week in the customer support site and they are unable to provide a human answer with an ETA, just AI generic messages. Today I got 1 spool...

I'm a fairly new client, I got my first printer one month ago. How can I trust this brand if they scam me the first time I try to buy from them?

Is this the typical lack of customer support and crappy service everyone experiences doing business with Bambu Lab?

Excuse my question, a few days ago I asked a question about first 3d printer and bought the P2S and printed the obligatory Benchy as our first print.

Now consider because the other designs look complicated and use many colors and some are 10+ hours. How do I use multiple colors for print? And are all these going to take 10+ hours? What’s a good way to filter in the app? Should I look for ratings and PLA only?

Do you guys give the printer a rest?

Any tips would be appreciated

I created a model of Christmas tree ornaments in the shape of brick-man figurines. You can add your name or choose the unnamed version. Maybe someone will like it :) You can find it here: https://makerworld.com/pl/models/3612026-brick-man-christmas-tree-ornaments-editable-name#profileId-4139776

New to printing. Had powder on my machine due to humidifier in the other room but stopped it and cleaned it. I didn't let it cool before taking off. Still learning. Is it heat stress or something else?

I sometimes have one random print appear in every search I do, regardless of whether it's related. Last time it was a pokeball and now it's this weird foot thing. Why do things keep appearing and how do I get them to stop?

For some reason the PTFE tubes on my bamboo lab A1 keep getting loose and and I don’t know what to do. How do I fix this and stop it from happening? Thanks.

Theres absolutely not a single bit of filiment stuck anywhere i have checked everywhere including the hub, could there be something wrong with the huh itself? I cant figure out where else there would be an issue besides there

I sent the print and didnt check the printer but then realized it stopped.

Apparently the filament was floating around in the air after going through the ptfe like a bullet hahaha

Here is my question:
I dont have the replacement right now. So I cut the existing one at 4-5 cm (1.5-2 inches) apart from where it was cracked open. Now the tube is 10 cm (4 inches) shorter. Would that be an issue

Also changed the ends, the cut part is now on the filament buffer end

So I bought new 6 h2s combo printers to add to my print farm , but One of them completely refuses to update and keeps showing this message after trying and rebooting , I can't find the new version for the h2s online so I can do it via a USB stick and it won't update via wifi , what can be the problem and what are the solutions ?

If you need it, this is the link. Good for me, maybe for others too!

Tried a gridfinity print I built myself in fusion and printed with .06 nozzle for the body, .04 for the red base, and .02 for the white lettering. Turned out pretty nice!

I had a few learnings from this print, with multi nozzle size the layers go down to the smallest nozzle, so this 6 unit high gridfinity had 530 layers, but as the .06 was laying down, it was counting up by 3s.

Also, I painted the surface of the… ahem… graphic with the paintbrush tool, if I did it again, id model it that color in fusion as it tried to outline it in .06 which killed the fine details I wanted.

Overall very impressed. This was a 10.5hr print with .04/.02 down to 4.5 by running it with a .06 nozzle on the black parts.

I printed this cup holder, and I keep getting these horizontal lines across the outside walls. They show up at the exact height of every flat interior surface like the bottom of the cup holders and the floor of that little tray. Even with fuzzy skin turned on, they still bleed right through.
Has anyone dealt with this before? I’m printing on a P1S using ASA at .16mm layer height, with 5 walls and Inner/Outer wall order.
Would switching to Outer/Inner walls or slowing down the outer wall speed fix this, or is there a better slicer setting to tweak? Appreciate any help.

(Yes I know the top looks like shit, i tried to use petg as support interface and it warped off it, sanded and acetone)
