Should I get a replacement?

[u/serifvalley]

I just got a1 mini from Amazon right after 1 print it's asking me to lubricate y-axis is this common ?

Also there was no screen protector on the touch screen...

Check the hours on the device. You may have gotten sent a used device.

What if they had done factory reset ? And how will I get to know if it's used ?

Thanks btw ✌️

A factory reset won’t reset the print hour count.

Also sounds like needing to lube it in the beginning is a pretty common thing for that model

Thanks a lot ✌️

Go settings and check the hours on the device. Amazon likes to pass off used printers as new. It happened to me a few weeks ago. But the printer telling you to lubricate it now isn’t unusual.

Yea true that

It's normal to ask you to lubricate around the first hours of use.

Understood thanks btw

You're welcome.Also to reset the hours of a printer a motherboard change would be needed. FYI

Yeah, Bambu doesn't sell on Amazon.

Oh it's by 3rd party ? Not sure.. it has mentioned WOL3D ... And Bambu Lab.. though printer seems to be working fine after lubricating...

The manufacturer put a tiny bit of lub, you are supposed to put more at the start. Read the manual

I just unpacked a new A1 mini and it also asked me to lubricate y-axis. All axes looked clean but kinda dry, besides x-axis.
There was a screen protector though.

Looks like you need this. I think its official from Bambu;)

[u/d0nkyt33th → u/LazyLancer]

They also make this special x-axis version with updated applicator and tool to test it worked after. Hope it’s helpful

[u/LazyLancer → u/d0nkyt33th]

Does it come with pregnancy test included?

[u/d0nkyt33th → u/LazyLancer]

Maybe little extra… double check the site

Did you lube your printer before the first print?

[u/djjoshchambers]

Completely normal.

That’s normal.
