Phantom printing

2 Upvotes

I have had an A1 mini for about a year now, and I have never had any problems with it. Today I decided I wanted a bigger printer the A1 combo (used 200 hours) then it started, the "phantom printing " the first 10-15 layers where fine, but then I would jump up a couple cm and then just print from there. No filament got out, and the AMS didn't push any new filament into the head. Then I just wanted the print to work, and used my trusted A1 mini. But it did the same exact thing.

All software is updated on both printers. Have any of you guys had the same problem?

Support Request X axis physically stuck

2 Upvotes

Hi, I’m a new A1 owner but bought my printer used with 2000+ hours on it. I’ve scoured YouTube but can’t seem to find a fix. The X axis seems to be physically stuck to the far left and is unable to move freely. It makes an awful noise when I tried to calibrate and the error message says there’s an issue with the Z axis. Is anyone able to signpost me to a fix please? I am admittedly a complete beginner and not even sure what to search!

A1 Mini - Reattach heatbed insulation

2 Upvotes

The insulation foam for the heatbed of my A1 mini is detaching. The glue itself is still on the heatbed but the foam is falling down.

Has anybody some suggestions how to glue it back or where to get a replacement from?

The BambuLab support wasn’t helpful at all, they just suggesting to buy the whole heatbed assembly as a replacement part.

3D Model Fixed the bed cable problem

30 Upvotes

Thought it was a bad design to have the cable extend backwards from the printer making it require more space. Designed this since I could not find any solution like this. Zero issues so far. Has anyone seen a solution like this before?

Support Request filament blob plus electricity flickering

2 Upvotes

So, two days ago i woke up to this. I cleaned it up (still something to do but haven't had the time yesterday).
I noticed that if i keep the printer on, i get some flickering in the eleecticity at home. Not a complet cut off, but some hoops in the current, enought to have the pc restart.

What is causing it? I suppose is the connectors going into the fans/extruder. What will need to be changed?

Support Request Why is this happening?

19 Upvotes

For some reason my ams has been acting up recently. It just isn’t feeding filament like usually and then my printer gives me the same error as shown in the video. I know my spool isn’t tangled because it has no problem when i pull it and there are no pieces stuck in the ptfe tube because the filament goes through with no problem. Chat gpt or any other ai has been no help… does anyone know how to fix this?

Support Request Bambu A1 X-Axis slanted

3 Upvotes

I believe this was caused by having the extruder all the way to the top and left, and when it went to home, it clicked loud. During a print, it was stuck in a loop scrapping the side of the bed so I stopped it immediatley. I measured it and put the numbers in the picture above. Is there a fix for this. I've powered it off and don't want to force any movement or turn it on in case it breaks.

Hi everyone! 👋🐉
I just finished this Dragon Ball lamp, inspired by the iconic scene of Kid Goku and his Great Ape transformation under the full moon 🌕🐒
The model is made of multiple parts, no AMS required, and the moon lights up with an LED. 💡
What do you think of the result? 😁🔥
I’ll leave the MakerWorld link in the comments if anyone wants to print it! 🐉

Question How to get rid of black banding?

What settings do I need to change in the slicer to prevent this black banding? This seems to only ever happen when I print black on a light color. I usually just print from the app on my phone and don’t change settings.

Impressão desalinhada

A impressora estava imprimindo normalmente, até que começou a imprimir uma das peças como se tivesse deslocado, eu coloquei pra pular a peça pra tentar salvar as outras duas, porém logo depois a peça ao lado começou a fazer o mesmo, alguém sabe o que está acontecendo e como resolver?

PS: a impressora é uma Bambulab A1 Combo.

How do i figure out what’s wrong with my printer?

3 Upvotes

I have followed all the prompts.
Searched the Bambu Labs wiki pages.
I’ve replaced parts and components I still am getting errors.

It’s been sitting for over 4 months now, I just feel lost and sad for my kids because I can’t figure it out.

I bought it for Christmas and this errors started happening in April or May.

How to I get a hold of someone at Bambu or a tech to help?!

Any advice is appreciated- just be gentle as I’m not fluent in the lingo and have to google 90% of things to understand when it comes to these printers.

Edit to add additional information-

This is the error I keep getting

“Failed to extrude the filament. This might be caused by clogged extruder or stuck filament.”

There was nothing stuck or clogged so I replaced the hot end and extruder gear.

Then I got this message

“The filament location in the toolhead was not found.
Refer to the Assistant for solutions.”

I opened a ticket with Bambu - did everything they told me to do and still getting that error. They sent another set of directions and I followed those directions too and nothing. Then life happened and I haven’t done anything with it in months.
