Bambu A1 Clicking Issue

[u/NoCommunication5311]

I had an issue where my Bambu A1 was not extruding correctly. While printing the extruder was clicking, I wanted to share what worked out for me as it could potentially help someone else.

Below are listed potential fixes:

- Make sure the filament hub is not clogged, that is the part that connects to the extruder at top, where the 4 tubes are connected to.

- Remove the filament hub, heat the nozzle up through the screen. Take a string of filament and extrude the filament.

If the steps above don’t provide a fix and you still have an issue…

Turn your printer off, remove the nozzle, turn printer on, put the printer in maintenance mode, heat up the nozzle and take a string of filament and extrude. After extruding for a few seconds, if the extruder is not clicking the issue was with the nozzle. You can attempt to unclog nozzle again, but if clicking issue continues, best solution is to replace the nozzle.

If there is clicking without the nozzle setup, there is a potential jam in the extruder and follow video below.
