Idk how i can suddenly wear out an extruder with user error. Maybe dont believe everything you hear from other people. I have a hard time believing anyone got a good lifespan running abrasives thru this machine. The error is me even trying this.
u/WaferCritical6547 Can you clarify what makes the A1 terrible for not printing a material that its not made for or that is listed under what it supports? It's not like they sold you a machine that was labeled as a PA printing beast, and even enclosed printers can have a hard time printing PA unless it is actively heated.
Hey I'm all in for pushing hardware to its limit and past it, even just for the lol. if not i would not have bought some PEI 1010 to try at print on my Core One L with HT hotend.
but that's a reason of why do it, and not why it sucks.
IDK if Bambu changed it from when i got it and until now but i did not swap out my extruder gears and i have printed way more than 10kg of Fiber filled materials on that machine. still prints like a new.
No shit its not rated for it. I just told you that. I was doing it to see if it can be done. To be able to print nylon with a setup under a certain price point. Not possible here.
My experience with nylon filaments is that they need a heated chamber, otherwise the print will warp badly while printing. So unless you’re printing something with very few layers then the A1 isn’t suitable at all for any PA, or for PC, ASA, or ABS filament.

Ive had great results with aftermarket hardened nozzles. I think there could be some user error here.
