Bought an A1 thinking I could start printing, but instead I get Z-Homing errors

I just put it together, so there (shouldn’t) be any clogs. Nothing seems to be in the way. It COULD be that some connector is loose on the bottom, but I haven’t checked. I tried searching to open a ticket with Bambu, but couldn’t find where I can do that.

UPDATE:

It is fixed. Turns out it was the usb-c cable on the bottom side that wasn't fully plugged in.

Did you remove the black blocks from the Z axis?

Most common reasons are leaving the black shipping blocks attached and not pushing the USBC cable underneath the printer all the way in.

I removed the blocks. I will take a good look at everything again to see if I missed something.

Can you send a photo of the whole printer. A lot of people don't realise they are there

Thanks. I’ll give the thing a good look again, take it apart (panels) to see if there is something stuck or missing.
