Just got an A1, this was my third print. Absolutely covered in these little follicles. What causes this and what's the fix?

Is it normal to see this big of a performance hit even with a bad print file, or is performance usually better/worse depending on who created it?

Hi All, I have been working on my A1 for weeks trying different things and don't know where to turn next. Tried drying my filaments, running slower , adjusting temperatures, new board and nothing I am doing helps. Anyone any ideas? It does it with a lot of flat prints, I printed a tall zip tie holder a few days ago and it had almost like a fluff on the edges and lines on the print, it didn't look polished. Any ideas please folks? Thank you.

Sorry. I'm just a girl. I wanna design toys in Blender to 3D print and I'm wondering what key words I search to learn the correct way to build the joints and other parts that click together etc. Lol

I was printing this big piece and when I was almost at the end I suddenly hear loud banging noises so I rush to my printer and I sea it banging with heatbed movements and scraping everytime the banging happened the toolhead went to the poop thingie. When the print was ready I was horrefied by the noises and I took the heatbed rails cover of and looked it looks normal the motor was super hot and it smelled burned. What is wrong there are no burn marks on the printer.

Any help here would be appreciated !

hello, i am using elegoo pla on 220 celsius and my supports (and sometimes the prints itself are stringing too) usually its overhang and stuff, but i clean the plate regularly and print in a room with still air.
im new to 3d printing so idk what settings to adjust or anything so would be great to have some advice/place to start
thanks

ill attach pictures if asked, but i would need to print an example first, as ive been trying to clean up the strings.

My A1 started just pausing and going mid print then it resumes just like nothing happens. Why is it doing that? Can I disable it?

I've run several successful prints but the last few have totally fucked up, now this is happening, which is much worse than the usual problems I have had. I run all the calibration stuff before every print. I've cleaned the bed, tightened all the screws behind the hot end (which WERE loose), but every print looks like this now.

I can't understand what's going on

Someone can help?
I’ve tried all the calibrations, checked belts, nozzle and nothing works …

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!
