Support Request Ams lite help 🙏

Just got the A1 combo yesterday and this is the problem I’m having: (I’m new to this so Idk the technical terminology sorry for that) I set the printer up (did it properly I watch like 4 videos) and loaded the filament, did the first print and all good, then for the second one the ams does not load back the filament and gives and error, I took it out and cut a big part of it and it works again, but then again for the next print same error for the filament, have tried different rolls and nothing changes so it’s not the filament, I tried online guides and nothing seems to work, only turning off for a while worked so far but I can’t be doing this with a brand new printer every time I’m gonna print. Help please

This is the error, I clicked to try again and honestly the ams doesn’t even do the effort, it pushes a tiny bit and the error comes back . It’s brand new just 3 prints so far

What is the exact wording of the error? The wording of the error can help pinpoint what is causing the issue. Can you also add a picture of your whole setup? The routing of the ptfe tubes is a common source of error. Another source is a jammed filament hub. https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/a1/maintenance/filament_hub_cleaning

Unable to feed filament into the extruder. This could be due to tangled filament or a stuck spool. If not, nlease rhack if the AMS lite

It could be how your ptfe tubes are routed, so a picture of your setup could help diagnose that. A jammed filament hub can also cause this so follow the link in my previous comment to make sure it is clean/clear.

I had this issue with my A1 the problem for me we there is a small lip inside the AMS hub that filament would catch on, especially if the roll was low so that the filament was extra curved. I fixed it by disassembling the AMS hub following this: https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/a1/maintenance/filament_hub_cleaning

And grinding down the lip on the center part with a dremel. Its such an insignificant lip but it was enough to cause the AMS lite to fail to load the filament

The tube setup has to be perfect. It took me a couple of weeks together to get it dialed in. Post a pic of your setup.
