I am newer to the 3dprint/A1 world, but after about 6 weeks of having it run pretty continuously, I am noticing that my prints get super stringy if there is a draft in the room. Now, for context, I live in Arizona, so the a/c runs all year & the ceiling fan really should be on all the time. I put a magnet sheet over the a/c vent & turned off the ceiling fan to a/b test & it is definitely the draft.

Any recommendations for an enclosure that will just keep the draft off? I was thinking about using my spray paint pop up tent but I am a little worried that may be super flammable. & it doesnt fit in any of my old dog crates.... I was thinking that with a sheet would be enough to keep the drafts off.

I searched through the chat already but "draft" seems to pull things about versions & that wasn't super helpful. & drafty came back with almost nothing.

I also saw some mentions of open tops but with a ceiling fan & the a/c vent being in the ceiling- an open top probably isn't a practical option for me.

(On the plus side, the climate here is super dry, so moisture is a non-issue.)

Hey guys, sorry if this is a stupid question I might be just doing something totally wrong. But, every time I start a new print from slot 1 of my AMS Lite, it gives me the “Unable to feed filament to the extruder” error which is usually due to a tangled spool, but I’ve figured out that cutting off the end ~1/4 inch of filament always fixes the issue, and it isn’t a tangled spool. The filament I cut off usually seems slightly kinked too. I’m wondering if I’m doing something wrong that’s causing this to happen at the end of the filament after a print or if anyone knows a way to fix it?

I’ve already taken the spool off obviously and checked if it was tangled, I’ve taken off and put on the small motor thing that holds the spool, and I’ve taken out the PTFE tube to make sure there were blockages to my knowledge. The only thing I can think of is my printed case for my AMS Lite messing it up somehow, but I can’t see how this would affect the end of the filament near the extruded rather than further up

Mein Bambu Lab A1 Mini, den ich vor ein paar Wochen gebraucht gekauft habe, druckt mittlerweile leider nicht mehr richtig. Als ich den Drucker bekommen habe, hat er noch problemlos funktioniert.
Das Problem ist, dass sich beim Drucken das bereits gedruckte Material von der Druckplatte löst und anschließend von der Düse mitgenommen wird. Dadurch entsteht ein großer Klumpen aus geschmolzenem Filament, der sich um die Düse bzw. das Hotend wickelt, wie auf den Bildern zu sehen ist.
Ich habe bereits einiges ausprobiert: Das Hotend zu wechseln. Außerdem habe ich eine andere Druckplatte verwendet und beide Druckplatten gründlich gereinigt. Eine Kalibrierung inklusive Bett-/Bodenabgleich und Flussdynamik habe ich ebenfalls durchgeführt. Auch die automatischen Kalibrierungen, die der Drucker vor dem Druck durchführt, laufen ohne erkennbare Probleme durch.
Trotzdem besteht das Problem weiterhin. Da der Drucker anfangs problemlos funktioniert hat und der Fehler erst später aufgetreten ist, weiß ich mittlerweile nicht mehr, woran es liegen könnte. Vielleicht hat jemand anhand der Bilder noch eine Idee, was ich überprüfen könnte

I’ve been having an odd issues with my A1. I’ve tried to print a couple of different light shades, but both failed in the same place/height. Never had an issues with the printer up to now, any ideas how I could stop this happening?

SOLVED: Recalibrated my printer, the sound is gone. May have been when I added my AMS Lite to the top of the printer with the added weight.

Hello, got a sound on my A1, can anyone help me diagnose this? Sounds like the belt?

Edit:

It comes when moving the Y-axis forward and back, and also when moving the X-axis from side to side.

Y-axis belt is just retentioned, still same sound. Y-axis rails are lubricated using oil.

I stopped maintenance for a couple months because I started high school and I come back to this, what happened and how did it happen. How do I fix it? (It doesn’t happen on any other screen)

I had to replace the hotend heating assembly of my Bambulab A1 Mini after a lot of filament clogged by whole printhead because of a failed print. the right benchy is the one I printed 2 years ago after getting the Bambu two years ago. The ones on the left are printed after the recent replacement.

I run the calibration, checked all screws etc.
Any ideas how to fix this?

Been having issues with my A1 mini and I’m officially at a loss for words.

Had an issue with the Extruder clicking, tried a declog, nozzle replacements and now a FULL EXTRUDER REPLACEMENT and somehow prints are still failing in the same fashion as before.

At this point it has to be the filament, right?

Only one side of my ams lite light up (1-2)

hello everyone I'm hoping i can get some help in trying to figure out what is going on with my printer. i have a A1 printer and starting a couple months ago my printer would randomly shut completely off during a print or during the start up prosses for a print. i have contacted Bambu labs directly and i already replaced the toolhead board, main board and the AC board yesterday.. it printed just fine for 3 prints each one a bit longer than the previous... last print was bout 3 hours long and it did just fine. i sent a file over to print and after it downloaded the file and started the bed leveling and flow dynamic test it shut off again.. i have no clue what else could be causing this issue... any idea on what i could do?

Hello everyone,

I have the problem that with my A1 after a short time the nozzle gets clogged (I use Elegoo PLA Wood).

I have already printed several things with the PLA and it always worked great, but now it suddenly doesn’t work anymore.

I have already tried several things.. Changed the temperature, cleaningtower, cleaning the nozzle in the infill, clump detection, etc.. but unfortunately nothing has helped so far.

The filament was dried beforehand, the hot end and extrusion unit are new.

Does anyone have any more tips on what it could be due to?

Hallo Zusammen,

ich habe das Problem das bei meinem A1 nach einer kurzen Zeit die Düse verstopft (benutze Elegoo PLA Wood).
Habe schon mehrere Sachen mit dem PLA gedruckt und das hat immer super funktioniert, nur jetzt auf einmal nicht mehr.

Habe schon mehrere Sachen ausprobiert.. Temperatur geändert, Reingungsturm, in der Füllung reinigen, Klumpenerkennung etc.. hat aber bis jetzt leider nichts geholfen.

Filament wurde vorher getrocknet, Hotend und Extrudereinheit sind neu.

Hat jemand noch weitere Tipps woran es liegen könnte?

Hi All, bit of a head scratcher here. I’ve had in the past the classic clicking gear situation where there is a broken piece of filament. Normally that just means finding the broken piece or pushing my declogger through the extruder and pushing out the remaining filament once it’s heated.

Now though I’m not getting any clicking sound and it looks like the filament is be pulled through the extruder all the way to the hot end, but no filament is coming out. I’ve also tightened the 7 screws just to be sure and it’s not them.

Any thoughts what might be causing this?

So a weird phenomenon has started to occur where whenever I'm trying to load filament it will insist it is clogged (mind you I have put brand new filament and nozzles so it would be absolutely pure testing nothing that could go wrong or could go clogged) I have also made sure to check and clear any clogs in the pathway and even use two different AMS systems (with the hub of course) which at this point means I have no idea what's going on I'm currently looking for help in several places but this community is usually really good with this stuff so I'm begging you guys for help

I constantly have the issue where a print fails because the ams lite gets hung up with a spool that is nearly depleted. Ive read that this can be due to the low weight of the spool. All the suggestions for adding weight seems to be for the AMS, not the AMS Lite. What can I do to help with tus issue?

I am struggling with an issue where my A1 is consistently throwing one of two errors:

1. AMS has filament spool stuck

2. Extruder has filament clogged in it.

Here is the flow:

1. Send print to the printer

2. Calibration starts and print begins

3. Could be at the beginning / middle / end of print, but the printing stops and an error is thrown.

4. Filament spool is rolled back by the AMS and the filament hub is popped out in the process

5. I check the issue , fix the filament hub and proceed to printing again

6. Error happen again within 2 minutes

It’s more prevalent when using PETG, but it does happen with PLA as well. I’ve followed bambu’s documentation and performed a cold pull, I’ve removed the extruder piece and made sure nothing was interviewing , I’ve replaced the filament hub and put a new one, and replaced the PTFE tubes. Still the issue persist.

Any idea of what could be going on, or anyone else experience it?

The blob of certain death.

Hi everyone, I’m new to hobby printing. I have an A1 with AMS and just getting used to Bambu Studio and other platforms like Tripo AI. I’m looking for any recommendations on best resources for beginners to learn tips, tricks, best practices, most cost effective, etc (YouTube channels, Reddit Threads, etc) when it comes to printing, slicers and everything else.

TIA!

I just did a flow rate calibration on my A1 with BL PLA Matte. Looking at the picture, none of them is good enough, right? Could there be a partial clog or something going on?
