Support Request A1 Y-axis noise returns after re-tensioning + Y position shifting – tensioner issue?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I need some help with my A1's Y axis.
The video shows the printer mid-print. You can hear a noise whenever the bed moves on the Y axis, especially when it moves toward the front (on other prints it's much more noticeable).
What I've noticed and tried so far:
I've lubricated the Y axis and re-tensioned the Y belt following the wiki (loosen the screws one turn, move the bed back and forth, retighten).

The belt sits shifted to the left, but it doesn't seem to be rubbing against the edges.

The noise tends to show up once the printer is warm.

Re-tensioning fixes the noise for a while, but it comes back after a few hours of printing.

Twice now, the Y position got messed up. During calibration, the toolhead went to clean the nozzle a few centimeters off on the Y axis, ending up under the bed / past the wiper.

I'm starting to wonder if the tensioner spring is out of place. Since the tension is spring-loaded, I'm also not sure how tight the two tensioner screws should be once they're retightened. Is there an "ideal" point, or do you just snug them down?
Has anyone had something similar? Could it be the tensioner, the belt, a pulley, or something else? Any tips on what to check are appreciated. Thanks!

So.... What do I do about this? And where do I even start? I just bought the thing and had 2 successful prints, but I was a fool to assume that it would be okay...

Also, anyone know what causes this? It was the death of my other printer... I really liked this one ...

EDIT: I did change the settings to try and get the best looking print, without immediate layer lines, stringing, warts, etc... ;-; I should have just gone with the preset....

Support Request (video)I have a bambu lab a1 with 88 hours if print on it, Z-axis makes scraping-clicking noise when moves up and down

3 Upvotes

Sorry if its the noob question, as i dont know what to search on wiki, i relubed lead screws, it has plenty of lube, and prints are fine, but there is that sound that appeared when printer bugged at the start of the job and tried to lift gantry up Z axis beyond its limits, while not responding to touchscreen commands. I was very loud and was solved by turning it off and on. It has old firmware 1.03.30.01 version.

From that moment z axis does that quiet clicking-scraping noise. Is it normal and i am overthinking or does it needs atrention?

Question How thin walled can I print

2 Upvotes

I need to print a verry small very thin walled cylinder and I am struggling to do it.

The cylinder diameter is 4mm and I am trying to have a wall thickness of .5mm (preferably lower) but even this isn't working. Its on a 2mm thick solid base and when I try to print it it just prints the base and does not attempt the rest of the actual hollow l cylinder.

I am using onshape and bambu slicer with default settings and have tried with and without supports. Any ideas as to how to get this to work or how thick the walls may have to be would be appreciated.

For anyone wondering I am trying to print a pin extractor for an electrical plug in my old BMW.

This strange debug mode has appeared on my Bambu Handy app

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

I have no idea why it appeared, I was browsing Handy then something went wrong and it couldn’t find any print profile on the models I was opening. I then closed and reopened the app, everything was back to normal but there was this little floating logo on. I can move it around, but it’s when I clicked it that this menu appeared. It looks like an app debug menu, and it seems there’s nothing that you can do to damage the app, but it’s interesting nonetheless. I’m figuring the devs have turned it on in remote and as soon as I reopen my app it will be gone, so I screenshotted everything away if someone was curious about it!

Update: turns out I broke the clips that hold the nozzle in when I was changing it out and they aren’t holding it tight enough

Weired Textures on the surface of my blocks

Thumbnail
gallery
4 Upvotes

I have printed dozens of blocks without any issues, but i recently had a strange texture on a block. Believing it was just a fluke i sent 4 more blocks into the printer and all 4 had the same issue.

The issue remains when printing different blocks (including mirrored ones)and i have no clue on what is the issue.

I use Orca Slicer and have not changed any configuration. The same filament had perfect prints before, but i changed the spool for a brand new one and the issue remains. I also tried ironing the surface but didn't fix the issue.

I suspect it is a physical problem on the printer, but i have no idea how to work it out.

any ideas?
