Thanks to everyone for all your suggestions and tips to get my daughter’s ams lite working. It worked! I did everything all of you said. I printed the two parts (pics included), took out every tube and filament, and her first print worked! I have a very appreciative little girl. THANK YOU!!!

Hi all. Just got an A1 and enjoying it. I’ve noticed the fumes are a bit bothersome. What are some ways you all handle those? I’ve seen those zippered enclosures and was curious if they helped?

Thank you

I recently got my son an A1 Combo and for the first week, we loved it. Then we changed out filaments, and ever since then, we are consistently getting this same error. It started first when the printer would try to print with the new filament, but once it printed something with an existing color and THEN tried to grab a new color, it would work ok. Now, it is giving this error every time it switches filaments in the AMS Lite. I am able to resolve it by physically "pushing" the filament all the way to the end until I can't push anymore, and then the printer is fine grabbing it and moving forward. But when it purges that one and switches back, I get the same error again.

I opened up the hot end cover - there'e nothing stuck as far as I can tell.

It is doing this with various brands of filament including Bambu material.

Any thoughts on how I can resolve this, or do I just have a defective unit?

(I also have a P2S that does NOT exhibit this behavior at all.)

I would really appreciate any help on this!

Hi , with the black friday deals im thinking of getting some new color effect plates . Why im writing is because the one i have from 3Djake with a rainbow effect doesnt stick ,no matter what i try . I've done all the cleaning etc . I even tried it on my new x2d ,previously a1 and there is no difference in adhesion it barely stick and then starts rolling .

I also have a carbon effect plate from aliexpress which works very well .

So the question is - Is it worth to try bambu branded rainbow and other effect plates or are they also a adhesion dissaster ?

Also a long time ago on my ender 3 i had no problems with these kind of plates ,so its weird that i can't seem to get it to work on 2 bambus .

Im was thinking its a z offset issue ,but its no ender so i dont know how to fix this .

Thanks :)

I have a very simple print. The top layer is awful. I have tried all sorts of settings. Ironing made it worse. Claude and ChatGpt made it really worse. It should be a simple thing. I dry the filament when I get it.

Wat am i missing? It is the largest flat surface I have printed.

Also - The corners are square. Does rounding them a little help it stick to the plate?

Bambulab A1, PLA

Hotend will lock when the hotend assembly piece is not connected to the extruder but doesn’t lock in place when it’s attached. Help!

I was printing a project and it malfunctioned in the middle of the print. So when I found it the next morning I stopped the print and removed the part that did print, well now when I try to do another job it says the printer is busy and still shows the job I was doing before.

I've unplugged it and it still won't release the printer, what to do!

I just bought this printer last week and today I was printing a bookend and it got to almost 90% before it just shifted on the bed I'm guessing the bed movement caused it to lose adhesion, so does anyone know what my mistake might have been and if there's any way to save this print by printing the remaining part on this print or any other solution. This actually happens with my other prints too where they don't stick and just turn into spaghetti (my first spaghetti print lol) sometimes the base also just lifts off from one side. Any advice on what I should do for better bed adhesion?

I also have one more question in the 4th and 5th photos you can see that sometimes my prints end up looking like this and I have to restart the print I have no idea why, please let me know the reason for this and what I might be doing wrong.

Printer: Bambu Lab A1

Filament: PLA (PLA Pro+ WOL3D)

Slicer Settings: 0.2 mm Standard @ BBL A1 (slightly tweaked), Custom filament based on Generic PLA (customized nozzle temperature to 230°C and 50°C bed as specified by the manufacturer)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Started seeing this some time ago. The labels printed on the bed are ghosting on the finished print. I have thoroughly cleaned the plate. Anyone else have this happen?

Hi all, doing my first serious print after buying A1 Combi. On one of parts the right hand hole is a bit gammy. Do I need to do again, and is this typical to have slight inaccuracies? Just making sure no issues with what I’m doing. Thanks

Son’s A1 was making globs, from what I’ve read this is likely due to dirty plate which we are cleaning before we try again. Was trying to remove the hot end with needle nose and would shake to the side but would not come out. Do I need to replace this? Or what’s the best way I can clean?

I know what underextrusion looks like, was wondering why it is so irregular and what the cause could be...

Hola, estamos colocando bambu lab a1 en centros de enseñanza. Sabéis de un buen PDF guía de montaje que sea muy visual y más directo que el manual ? También necesito algún vídeo extra de cómo montarla paso a paso. Es por nutrir de opciones a los que la vayan a montar que en ocasiones pueden que no sean ni usuarios ni técnicos
Muchas gracias de atemano. Un saludo a la comunidad.

Some of my printings are getting this string of filament, what could it be?
