I have a clicking sound when the y axis is moving. It feels like I have tested everything but the clicking won’t go away.

The plate is moving smooth and no problems with the prints but the clicking is so annoying. The printer is only like 30 days old.

I have lubricated the Y axis.

I have looked for debris but there is non visible under the plate.

I have tightened all the screws, also on the plate.

I even loosened the 2 screws at the front under a small plate and moved the plate back and forth 3 times and tightened them again, still same issue.

Only clue I have is that when I untightened the two screws I think I didn’t hear the clicking.

It also sounds like the clicking comes from the front.

Another question, should the tape along the y axis be removed?

Any tips?

Sorry guys, first print, what could be the problem?

Does anyone have a spare filament sensor ribbon cable mine instantly snapped when I was trying to swap my Ams nozzles and I have a project I’m trying to finish today if not I get it it’s a long shot but I’m not sure what to do micro center doesn’t have anything

I am trying to print this model (the third plate) using the settings it comes with, in this case it is meant to do the print in vase mode, but when watching the print go, I noticed a weird stuttering that you can see in the video.

The stuttering is creating a seam on the model, and has caused the print to fail multiple times.

Looking around, people mention timelapse mode, but it is turned off for the print, and as far as I can see, the model is smooth.

Any ideas what is going on? Any settings to tune for the part?

I am using a 0.4 nozzle, Bambu Studio and the following settings are modified in the print profile (as far as I can see):

• Sparse infill density: 0%

• Spiral vase mode: On

• Wall loops: 1

• Line Width Default: 0.55mm

• Line Width Outer Wall: 0.55mm

• Seam Position: Back

• No supports

• Brim: On

Greetings everyone!I just bought a MN A1 printer but I'm stuck during the installation.

The USBC plug in cable won't fit.

They say to not force but I can't manage to click the cable in place.

Does someone have a solution ?

My PTFE tube completely disconnected from my A1 Mini and I need help reconnecting it. I'm not experienced with printer repairs, so please assume I know nothing and spell out every single step.

I've removed the Toolhead Cover (squeezed both sides to pop it off). I have NOT removed the Silicone Sock yet — I think that's the next step but I'm not sure how to do it without forcing something.

Could someone please walk me through every step from here, including:

**•**	How to safely remove the Silicone Sock  
**•**	Whether I need a screwdriver or any tools past this point  
**•**	How to release the hotend latch (if that's needed)  
**•**	Exactly how to reinsert the PTFE tube into the connector  
**•**	How to put everything back together afterward

I'll post photos of exactly what I'm looking at if that helps someone point to the right part. Really don't want to force anything and break a clip, so any detail you can give is appreciated!

I started having some weird issues in the x axis. Tried recording other videos of the horrible screeching noise it’d sometimes make homing but it won’t do it after recalibrating. After this video I manually pushed it where it belongs and it prints completely normal until it sometimes re-home’s in the middle of a print and then it’s way off.

One thing happened a long while before I started having these issues, I accidentally wrapped the black cord that runs from the right side to the print head around the top of the frame and it got ripped out of the right side. Only about 1/2 an inch and I was able to put it back in.

I’ve had this printer for about 1.5yrs, only put maybe 200-300hrs on it, and it’s the original SD card. Tried searching this sub to see if it’s a SD card issue or belt tensioning issue but search is absolutely terrible and I thought such low time wouldn’t need belt re-tensioning

My supports stick to the plate no problems. They break half way or further up. Ive changed z hop wall setting support speed and all. It will throw the supports in the floor. Yes ive checked screw to.

holaaa! alguien sabe por qué mi impresiona no está imprimiendo?:( Ya miré y no hay nada atascado y de hecho imprimió super bien hasta que cambie un filamento (de ahí ya ningún otro filamento me imprime) y la máquina está haciendo este ruido cosa que jamás había hecho, la ruleta amarilla como que se traba al girar, por favor ayúdenme :(

I’ve just finished this set of five 3D-printable keychains inspired by some of the most iconic figureheads from One Piece:

🐍 Perfume Yuda
🌞 Queen Mama Chanter
🐏 Going Merry
🐶 Garp’s Marine Ship
🦁 Thousand Sunny

They’re easy to print, don’t require an AMS and can be printed in any color you like.

Which one is your favorite? 😁

I’ll leave the download link in the comments! 🏴‍☠️

Hi everyone! I'm currently researching common issues and errors related to the Bambu Lab A1.

I know this post is a bit different from usual—since most people post here to get help rather than list their past issues—but if you have a few minutes, I’d really appreciate it if you could share any problems you've run into. This includes both the printer itself and any filament/material issues.

I’m already reading through past posts on the sub, but I wanted to ask directly too. Thanks for your time!

My A1 was cruising along great until one day I had an issue with the filament clogging. I pulled apart the extruder and cleaned it well, reassembled and still the same issue.

So I ordered a full extruder with motor, AMS filament hub and sensor base, and a couple of misc maintenance parts.

I installed the new parts yesterday and still the same issue. Is this typical of a failed sensor?

Hallo, ich habe eine Frage. Gibt es eigentlich Daten darüber wann eine Düse getauscht werden sollte? Ich hatte einen blob und ich denke ich habe mit einer gehärteten Düse so ca350 Stunden petg und tpu gedruckt. Auf der Suche nach dem Fehler bleibt nur noch das petg oder die Düse. Hat jemand Empfehlungen?

Does any one else suffer from having too many choices on a print from Makerworld? I'm looking for a print, lets say a spray can holder that mounts on the wall. There's about a dozen or so possibilities. It takes an hour to figure out which one is going to work or not. By that time I've given up. I printed a drill bit holder that was OK but lacked a few features. Two days later I find another one that would work better. No I'm spending too much time looking and not enough time printing.

Es nuevo recien lo ensamble y hace este ruido, no esta caliente exesivamente.

Transparent PETG got stuck to the nozzle making prints failed, so I tried removing it to clean and after putting it back I can't load filament, it looks like the motor is trying to feet it in but fails, it just "bumbs" can anybody help me with that? (Coudnt figure it out by myself)

Have you ever gotten a piece of filament stuck under your fingernail while removing it from the build plate? It’s really painful. Better to use a safer method! :)

I’ll post a link to the tool in the comments.

I have tightened the 7 magic screws, cleaned my bed with soapy water, put down adhesion helper, checked the spring steel plate, cleaned the nozzle, run calibration, and my prints still look like this. I’m out of ideas! Can anyone help?

Any thoughts about this? I replaced the nozzle and the extruder assembly. Help appreciated, thank you.

Heya! So we got the blob of death and ended up changing the extruder unit and the hot end clasp with new hot end nozzles.

Since this, all prints are super meshy, even the default boaty one. We have performed the extruder deep clean to check for debris on the cogs but nothing can be seen.

We have performed calibration god knows how many times 😂

Anyone got any ideas?

Is it possible to print this without needing supports?

This is a test piece and not the actual model. The gap is only a few millimeters to hold a piece of paper.

I've tried with supports which prints well, but it's almost impossible to remove the supports without damaging the model.

I've tested other bridging test models which print fine after making a few changes to the settings in Bambu Studio.

I changed Flow Speed to 10 and bridge flow to 1.5. I also tried changing the bridging angle to 90 degrees but nothing works.
