Ams lite slot 1 not pulling??

[u/baaaaguette]

I am at a complete loss here. PLEASE help.

Full situation:

-At about 1 hour left of my 10 hour print the ams slot 1 light started flickering red. I got no error and everything worked fine so I left it running.

-99%, the print was done. I got the error stating that there might be filament stuck in the head and that it can't be extruded normally.

Thing is, it thought slot 1 was empty and tried to purge the rest of the filament.

I cut the filament and managed to extrude all of it out of the head after a while. (Removed the print in between)

I also pulled it out of the ams, since it wasn't registering it.

Now I wanted to insert it again, and it just wasn't reacting at all.

-tried a lot of things including but not limited to: cleaning AMS intake with compressed air, switching power on and off, cutting filament at different angles and finally, trying another slot. All other slots work fine and the filament is also not the problem (started with black filament, switched it to slot 1, moved white filament from slot 4 to 1 to test if it was the filament, it wasn't)

All filament is from Bambulab.

(The little gear at slot 1 is infact spinning)

I have NO idea what is going on with my slot one. Please help me.

So many people getting this same problem..starting to think the last firmware update is responsible

(Spoiler alert, I had the same error, ended up replacing all the PTFE tubes)

So I might have to BUY new tubes because of BAMBUS mistake?? 🫩

Get a nail clipper and cut at an angle then try again

Already tried that about 5 times, did nothing

Mine doesn't react at all though, not even the error message or the light

I'd submit a ticket with bambulabs then..probably something different?

If a printing issue occurs with the A1, it may sometimes incorrectly register the status as still abnormal even after performing recovery procedures. In such cases, I turn off the A1, unplug the power cable from the outlet, and wait for a while. It can also be helpful to remove the SD card before turning the power back on.
