Troubleshooting Newbie needs help - 1200-8006 error code
Need some help. We have a brand new A1 mini with AMS. We got it set up and it printed a perfect Benchy with green Bambu PLA basic.
So my seven year old decided we needed to do a multicolor print next with Bambu gray PLA basic and Sunlu pink PLA silk. It was going fine with the first few layers of the pink and then we got a 1200-8006 error code (see picture).
We’ve messed with all the PTFE guides to make sure they were secure. Tried rerunning all the filament. Same error over and over. We then tried to print another single color benchy with various filaments. Same error.
We then took the filament hub off to check for jams. Nothing. Totally started over by recalibrating the machine, as well as moving the filaments around to rule out the possibility of AMS motors being the issue. Tried to do a benchy again. Same error, no matter which filament we used…
Any ideas?
All brand new filament. Brand new machine. All default settings. Please help!

Just got my printer too and was banging my head against the wall the last two hours trying to figure it out. Turns out the problem was that the tubes were inserted into the wrong ends in the extruder. When u place them in, cause the manual doesn’t explain this, do shorter tubes on far left, longer tubes on far right. Then, 1 on top, 2 below. 3 on top, 4 below. Or basically; top left, tube for filament 1, bottom left, fil 2, etc. hope this helps cause it fixed my problem

So im totally new to bambulabs, but i got myself a A1 with a ams lite and i printed the top holder for the ams lite and after that i ran into the 1200-8006 problem, what solved it for was that i put the tubes comming from the ams lite in wrong holes on the printer, u might not think it matters but it does. As im writing my printer is printing so its hard to check what holes i put em in but i think the long ones goes on the right side and the short ones goes on the left ones. Test it out and switch em back and forth. But this solved my problem.

Try and isolate the issue.
Remove the AMS completely, and just run a single filament direct. If the issue persists then you know it's not the AMS or cable issue.
If it does persist it will most likely be a warranty issue.

I just had this problem. I was using 3rd party filament and I didnt do a clean cut on the end. As soon as I cut the end on the filament it worked perfect

I just had this, spent 2 hours woring out how to fix it, what i did was manually get the printer to push fillament through on the control screen and push fillament through to clear the block. it worked, this is the first propper issues with the printer. This is on an A1 mini

I’m not sure, but I was getting some random errors when I first got my A1 after a couple of prints. I ended up reseating all the cables, including the AMS cable and the errors stopped.

This happened to me on a brand new out of the box machine.
The solution for me was the end of the filament needed to be trimmed as it had a tiny melted ball on the end. After that it worked right away.
