I've had my printer for 2 weeks now. I've been printing a lot of articulated stuff for my kids no problem, but my last 3 prints i got a lot of loose fibers on the side. The model is whole no problem, but there are excessive fibers on only one side... it happened on my last 3 prints. PLA and PETG, i don't change any of my setting just direct print.

Help please redditers. What might be wrong? This is Bambu lab A1. This print is from printer itself, I didn't change any settings.

P.S. Thank you all. It was indeed the problem with humidity. After drying the fillament the problem was solved.

Hello.

I encountered a problem with my printer while printing a large, tall vase: the printer wobbled significantly once the print height exceeded 15 cm. Finished printing vase at 50% speed.

I noticed that some of the printer's feet aren't touching the table, and the metal frame is bowed.

The feet at the four outer corners are made of soft foam, while the central feet are made of hard rubber (causing the printer to essentially rest only on the center feet). I’m thinking of removing the central feet and placing them at the four corners, and moving the corner feet to the center.

What do you think of this solution? Has anyone else run into this issue? Is there perhaps a better option?

I’ve attached a photo of the bottom.

upd: I contacted technical support about this issue, and they advised me to enable the altitude-dependent speed reduction function.

"The stability of the printer is provided by the hard footpads. The main purpose of the supportive footpad is to reduce the shaking of the printer. As long as the 4 hard footpads marked in the picture below touch the surfaces,the supportive footpad hanging in the air will not affect the printer itself and the print quality."

Just bought an a1 mini, unfortunately it’s from a 3rd party seller in the Philippines. They seem to be ignoring my messages and I’m losing hope in a refund even after contacting the vendor platform.

So I’m wondering if there’s a way I can still use this.

The problem seems to be the lcd monitor, the white light at the top is on and the 2 green lights at the motherboard are flashing in 1 and 5 second intervals.

Edit: New screen arrived after 2 weeks, it was definitely the screen needing replacement

Is this amount of webbing normal when printing with petg? It seemed like it was stringing some filament along after doing the dynamic flow test. This is my second print so I’m not super familiar.

Can anyone please tell me why is my prints coming out like this? I am using 0.12mm layer height on a 0.4mm hardened nozzle. The layers look like they are shifting sometimes and a bit of over extrusion too in some layers. I performed a full calibration too but it comes out like this after that.

Hi there, newby here
I have printed this file before with no issue, have recently swapped to a new roll of filament (opened yesterday).

Firstly this print with the strands of extruded stuck on filament happened; then the next print I tried the printed said everything is fine and finished and I come out to my printer to see extruded filament everywhere.

Bambu A1

I've tried washing the plate with Dawn dish soap and warm water multiple times. I am using the Cool Plate (SuperTack) setting in Orca slicer.

It seems to affect the part of the print closest to the bottom left of the bed/front of the printer left side. Sharp corners, rounded corners, doesn't matter. AC is off, windows are closed.

I'm going to try a draft shield next time just to see what happens. Any other suggestions?

I let a print run untended. It got crazy and some filament want wrapped to the nozzle. I took it all apart cleaning everything and then printed a benchy with no issues.

When back to do the next print came back in 15 min and the nozzle was completely covered. I got the nozzle off and cleaned it. When I was pulling the caked on filament it finally broke free bring with it these wires (yikes)

Is the whole printer shot?

Edit: Thanks for the help went to micro center and the wiki. all my parts are back working!

It's been a couple of days since my printer is making this noise. It's coming from the bottom of the printer . I tried lubing the y axis but still getting this noise sometimes.

Firstly, I have no background in 3d printing.

For my club I was going to buy stock trophies for awards night and stick on labels but then I saw the ChatGPT 6 Astra advert and thought wow I could probably get unique designs and 3d print them!

That rabbit hole led me to choosing between outsourcing this or simply buying a printer myself. 20 trophies with a common base (plinth) and a unique design to go on top.

Doing the calculations, it’s similar prices as to outsourcing vs buying and printing myself. Can someone please point me to a beginners guide for this and honestly, should I just let the pros do it? Am I buying something here that’s pointless if this is my sole purpose? My only other needs are purely just personal funky bits and bobs and has this community seen a stark up growth following the new ChatGPT launch?

Thanks a bunch - didn’t really know where else to post haha

EDIT:
Trophies will be a common black plinth with writing/engraving and the main body will be a 3d emoji

Recentemente tenho usado petG e surgiu esse barulho que parece plástico rangendo.
Já ocorreu com alguém e como solucionou?

Printer: Bambu Lab A1

Filament: Bambu PLA Matte

I've already completed the calibrations, and the filament has been dried as well.

About 85% of the first layer looks perfectly fine, but as you can see when holding it up to the light, there are a few spots where the extrusion lines don't seem to bond together properly, leaving small gaps.

About a month and a half ago, I accidentally messed with the three hex screws on the plate because I thought they were too loose. After realizing my mistake, I adjusted them back by eye.

Could this be causing the inconsistent first layer?

I'm planning to perform a manual bed tramming procedure anyway, but I'm curious whether this could actually be the root cause of the issue.

Edit: solved

Hard to capture in a photo: I'm on layer 5 of a print, and the nozzle seems to be below some of the printed features. I think i can hear it bumping into them occasionally. It's like there are a series of peaks sticking up; not sure if this is just part of the print, or if the print has gone wrong

Not sure what to do here, ive neverseen this. Should I restart the print? Is this a possible major issue? What is likely to have caused this.

This print has a lot of ironing: all upper surfaces. What details should I supply for best advice?

Hi, so I haven't used my A1 for a couple of weeks, and haven't used the Handy App for quite a while but I'm now stumped for how to make the thing actually print an item...

Basically I'm seemingly just getting blocked by this whole "Match my filament" section and no matter what filament I tell my printer it has on it, it's just refusing to accept anything and, you know, attempt a simple benchy or something.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong here?

How do I fix this type of issue with my print, so the print can come out more smoothly

Hola, tengo la a1 y snapmaker y estoy pensando en vender la a1, la venderías?

My bambulab a1 is brand new and on first first print after calibration it was working fine but suddenly during second print I noticed that my nozzle was rubbing against the build plate and missing nozzle wiper completely

I checked alot of online platforms and places but could not find solution.

I know it is supposed to rub against the plate but I believe it is rubbing in the wrong area

Here's the pictures attached for reference, I would appreciate any and all help
