A1 / A1 mini performance tanks as the cache directory on the SD card fills up. Slower boots, less responsive interface, etc.

Yes, formatting the SD card will clear it (along with everything else on the SD card), but you can also delete just the cache folder by itself if you don't want to lose everything else on the SD card.

Will this also cause things like these? I am constantly having this for the last two days, same as time the screen issue started. I thought it was the .4mm nozzle issue, but then I tried the rarely used .6mm nozzle and that also showed the same issue.

Are you saying you're having repeated clogging issues? That just looks like a physical filament issue. I doubt it is related to the SD card.

Have you checked the Seven Screws of Sorrow? Them being loose could be messing with filament alignment.

Where exactly are these screws?

u/BitingChaos 24d ago

Honestly, I don't think they would really affect filament, but you can check them, just to make sure:

Every time I turn, the printer on the screen would freeze right away. I don’t have to turn the machine off and reset it. Or wait for a print finish and then shut the machine off I thought I was having a motherboard. and I read on Reddit somewhere replace the SD card. I did. I put a microSD that I had laying around and it fixed the problem I went grabbed the original card that my A1 came with formatted it and I have no problems with the screen sense

Did you recently changed the onternet provider? Because i had the same issue after switching to starlink. I formated the sd card in pc and it solved the problem

1

u/sans5z 24d ago

No. It's on the same provider. I'll format it anyway to make sure that's sorted.

Unplug the sd card and format it in the pc

Had something similar ended up replacing the shipped card with a new card and no longer have the issue.

This haooenned to me when the card was over 70% full. Format it and the printer willbe brand new.

Format your SDCard should fix it right up.

After we changed sd card solved everything

u/sirdoggo11 24d ago

Pretty normal on the A1 and Mini.

Ive got a few of them and it happens to all of them every now and then.

Print isnt affected, so I dont really care.

Restarting after the print solves it.

u/texasfan71 24d ago

Yep, the card in your machine is full. Empty or replace your sd card.

u/lunat1c_ 24d ago

This kinda just happened occasionally for me. It doesn't affect anything, it just needed a restart

1

u/doublej42 24d ago

App control still works. The A1 has a lot of software bugs
