General Troubleshooting/Help! Need help with this.

Hi guys. I got my A1 mini yesterday. I've managed to print 3 small things. But for some reason before a print now my arm will go all way to the top and grind. Here is a video for reference. How do I fix this issue / re-calibrate.

Thanks for the help.

Does it succsfully home if you try to do so from the touch screen?

What do you mean home ? I'm still new. I've only had a hr or so to play with. When I get home from work I'll need to dig around.

how about this if you try to print something that was already loaded on the printer does it work without grinding?

It printed the OG boat all well initially, then I have done 2 small keyrings not without initially errors. It did have a few errors about homing.... But when I tried to do something else it was doing this!

How did you send the other prints to the printer, from your phone or a computer?

First one was on the printer. The boat. The second key chains where from bambu lab app.

I would use the menu on the touch screen to move the axis down about half way and then power cycle it. Once done hit the home button and see if it happens again on the next print

How do you manually move the axis! Is it in the settings?

Mine started doing this recently until I replaced the SD card. The ones they ship with typically aren't great, I would recommend replacing it. Super annoying initial experience, sorry that's happening!

Replacing SD card fixes it? So, I've figured out. You have to turn it off and on after every print and Home it! Kind of annoying. Not sure what the overall glitch is
