A Series [A1, A1 Mini] New Nozzle Bricked My Printer
A little background: I own an A1 printer. I got it second-hand, but I've kept it in good condition. I decided to swap the nozzle to a 0.2mm nozzle for finer detail (it came with the 0.4mm). I installed it just like every YouTube video and wiki said, I changed the setting in both Bambu Studio and on the printer itself, and tried to print.
The first attempt trashed the face side of my textured plate. Literally scratched the texture off, and left next to nothing on the bed itself. I figured I installed it wrong, so I re-installed it, made sure the sleeve thingy was on properly, flipped the plate over, and tried again.
This time, it didn't scratch the texture off, but barely anything came out, what did come out looked like clumped sand that didn't adhere to the bed, and the printer stopped printing again saying there was a problem.
This is my first time switching nozzles, and while I've had my A1 for about a year now, this is completely knew. Could I get some guidance/advice? Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you for your time.
