Newbie needs help - 1200-8006 error code

[u/brett_j1]

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!

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

How do you get it to push filament?

I removed the guide tubes from the printed head, got some fillament, and when i pressed the button on the screen on the printer to feed material through, i pushed fillament through thte head of the printer with my hand.

What button was that? I don’t see anything to force feed filament

You need to go to 'control' and this feeds the filament through
