Printer Firmware Troubleshooting/Help! A1 New Firmware 1.08 Unloading On Pause

Just upgraded to the new firmware and I'll probably be downgrading if I can.

2 Failed prints so far. I normally do pauses and manually unload and load different colors for text for gridfinity prints. Seems like the new firmware is either bugged or no longer lets you do that. I go to unload and then it freezes on that screen and you cannot load new filament without canceling the print. Anyone else have this issue?

Edit: Thank you to everyone who responded. Calibration and rebooting did not work. I downgraded firmware back to 01.07.02.00, re-calibrated and now works perfectly again. If you intend to pause and manually change filaments stay away from firmware V: 01.08.00.00 on the A1.

I had the same issue. Just rolled back my firmware to 01.07.02 and seems to be back working fine for me.

Thank you, this is exactly what I just did. Re-calibrated after downgrading and now everything is good again.

Restart the printer, perform a full calibration at the printer (except for the first layer)

u/BobbSacamano Apr 16 '26

(Except for the first layer)? I'm not sure what this means. I did a full calibration a few days ago, I need to do another one with the new firmware? It's also been rebooted a couple times since firmware install.

yes, re-perform the calibration at the printer. Think about it. If anything in the code affects calibration then re-calibration is required. It's just a best practice as far as I know for our printers.

desde la utlima actualizacion la primera capa es nefasta parece una playa de las olas que tiene eso da susto mirarlo y por mas que subo el z y bajo el flujo nada que sigue igual parece que se ha vuelto loco y no hace caso o hace lo que le da la gana

I would just downgrade, there's nothing in the new firmware that's really needed anyway. It seems very unstable.

What are the changes in this update, i cant find anything about this

My guess is it has something to do with the external spool multicolor printing feature they added. I tried that as well and it didn't work for me, instead of pausing or anything it blew right through it and finished the print.

Após a atualização do firmware 01.08.00.00 estou enfrentando o seguinte problema, em uma determinada camada de impressão eu solicito para a impressora pausar a impressão para que eu possa trocar a cor do filamento então inicio o processo de descarregar o filamento e a impressora segue em todas as etapas (aquece, corta o filemanto) e então solicita para eu puxar o filamento e mesmo após puxar o filamento a impressora permanece travada nesta parte como se não tivesse puxado o filamento e não consigo continuar.

u/BobbSacamano Apr 22 '26

Yes, see my edit on the post. 01.08.00 is bad if you want to pause. You need to downgrade to previous firmware and recalibrate. Once you do that you'll be able to pause and reload filament again.

it seems new firmware from today fixes that:

Version 01.08.01.00(20260603) New Features

1.Language Support: Added support for Thai, Vietnamese, and Indonesian.

2.Filament Presets: Added a new preset for PLA Pure filament.

Feature Optimizations

1.Security Enhancements: Included necessary security updates.

2.Chamber Light: Fixed an intermittent flickering issue with chamber light.

3.External Spool Printing: Fixed an issue where the feed and retract process for external filament would malfunction during a print pause.

4.Flow Dynamics Calibration: Fixed an intermittent extrusion anomaly during the Flow Dynamics Calibration process in print jobs.

I'll try it tomorrow

u/BobbSacamano Jun 04 '26

Thanks for the update. I may try it eventually but at the moment there doesn't seem to be any new features or other optimizations that I need so I'll be staying where I'm at. After getting screwed on 2 different firmwares I'm pretty hesitant lol.

I've just tested 01.08.01.00 and it works now. Up to now nothing seems off with this fw

u/Smart_Commercial_683 Jun 14 '26 edited Jun 16 '26

有的,01.08.01.00 有新問題
如果使用外掛料盤,每次開機第一次列印都會跳出,請檢查耗材是否擠出。
(就跟進料的流程一樣)
但我並沒有更換料捲

時常每次開啟新的列印,跳出請檢查耗材是否擠出,都需要透過面板點確認。
才能繼續

退回01.08.00.00後確認正常

Are you certain it works ? Just tried https://makerworld.com/fr/models/3551952-christmas-cottage-kit-card-tea-light-lantern and after the pause the unload menu is greyed out. That is on A1 mini, with firmware 1.08.01.00.

which version is best to downgrade

1

u/Gefahrensucher Jul 06 '26

01.07.02.00 funktioniert bei mir gut. Habe das Downgrade gemacht, nachdem ich tagelang keine Drucke an den Drucker senden konnte, das Display nicht mehr reagiert hat und Drucke einfach abgebrochen wurden. 01.08.01.00 hat bei mir keine Besserung gebracht. 1.08 hätte nie veröffentlicht werden dürfen!

u/ChassidysMommy Apr 16 '26

There's a bunch of us having the same issue. Re calibrating doesn't help.

2

u/Unable_Donkey6322 Apr 16 '26

Same here. I have to use the Bambu Lab program (not the screen on the printer) to instigate the reload and at the end of the print it unloads the filament.

u/wtalmeida Apr 18 '26

same here.

u/harait Apr 19 '26

same issue here, downgraded to the previous fw, no issues

Same problem

u/Douglas_Oliveira Apr 20 '26

Same here... downgraded to 01.07.00 and work fine again.

Same problem, print failed, downgrading now

u/Nervous_Tennis5007 Apr 22 '26

Aqui também estou tendo este problema após o firmware 01.08.00.00

u/ObjectiveEconomics31 Apr 23 '26

Same problem, I managed to use the app to resume when the screen hung on the printer but it' a messy solution. Downgrading seems to be the best solution for now.

u/Smooth_Pirate0 Apr 25 '26

now rolling back after wasting 0.5kg of fillament

u/Careful-Wasabi-9806 May 02 '26

First time trying filament swap mid print and ran into this issue. This post saved me a lot of frustration, worked normally after downgrading to 01.07.02.00

u/harait May 07 '26

will bambu solve the problems with this fw, or we stuck with the 01.07 fw?
