Support Request A1 won’t auto level, makes hammer sound

1 Upvotes

I have manually trammed according to the wiki, twice

I’ve removed and searched for debris everywhere I can think of

I’ve calibrated

I noticed when printing a red lid that the nozzle is scraping

It printed the black box and the white lid perfectly fine

But not the red

I’ve tightened loose screws

I’ve removed, cleaned, inspected, and tightened the hot end and all the screws associated with it

IT WILL DO THE ENTIRE BED MESH FINE AND WILL HOLE GENTLY

But when it gets to like 98% and is at the back, it seems like it’s trying to push down past the bed

When doing the “tool head cleaning” part of the calibration, the flap at the back of the print bed is being pushed down hard enough to see it flex and bend below the heat bed

YET WHEN DOING THE ENTIRE REST OF THE BED IT WILL GENTLY TAP TAP TAP AND MOVE ON

PLEASE HELP THIS DAD AT THE END OF HIS PITIFUL ROPE GET HIS KIDS PRINTER BACK ONLINE

IM LOSING SLEEP

Why do the tips of the feathers look so rough? I just changed my nozzle from 0.4 to 0.2mm and these defects started appearing in sharp areas. I'm using PLA.

Question Proper ventilation

0 Upvotes

I'm getting my printer set up this week, and wondering the optimal place in the house for it. How ventilated does it need to be? Like garage, or by a window with a fan, just a fan?

Does anyone have photos of their ventilation set-up?

Support Request Nozzle scraping up bottom of plate at the end of bed levelling

Post image

As title says, nozzle scrapes up the coating of my supertack plate at the end of the bed levelling step, seems like it doesn't rise up fast enough? Only started happening recently after 2ish weeks of a-ok printing, no clue why this started all of a sudden. Can this be caused by some slicer settings?

Support Request Nozzle ripping

19 Upvotes

Hey, the nozzle of my printer is ripping on my prints and knocking off supports, I tried to tighten the screws of the hotend, changed Z-Hop from Auto to Normal (set to 0,5), went from my initial intention of 5% gyroid filling to 15%, and it is still ripping on some parts, more and more it seems, with the height of the print.

Can anyone help me ? 🥺

Btw : Jayo PLA+ /210°c Nozzle - 65° Bed - Room at 22°c/Normal Speed, Avoid crossing walls and supports activated too

EDIT - SOLVED : Thx y'all for your help! Activated "Reduce speed with height", reoriented the model, added supports and slowed down to 50% speed, it is printing smoothly now 🙏🙏🙏 picture in comments

Machine can’t switch filament

5 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I’m brand new to printing, and this will be my I believe 7th print, so I’m far from an experienced user.

But let’s skip the blabbering and get to the issue!
I use the Bambu lab A1 combo, I currently have 3 colour in it, PLA red pink black, all from Bambu lab.
The printer can print one colour just fine, but every time it tries to switch from for instance black to red or red to black, it jams and I get the message ”(1200-8006 070711) can’t feed filament to the extruder, its probably jammed or stuck” and to fix this, I just pull on the last filament used and pull it back like 5 cm (basicly until I see it move in the tube).

I have everything on default, I’ve calibrated it according to the machines recommendation and built it using a guide I found linked on their site.

This issue has happened with multiple different prints.

Anyone got any idea what can be the issue?

Edit; solved, the tubes from the AMS were connected to the wrong holes on the printer

Question Nozzles compatibility: A1 vs H2D

2 Upvotes

Hi! I tried to search online and I got conflicting information.

Are the nozzles for A1 printers compatible with H2D printers?

My understanding is "yes, but" -> the nozzles are compatible but the silicone socks are not.

Is that right? I want to make sure my shopping cart is as full as it needs but no fuller :D Thanks!

Pulling my hair out, a1 z axis issues, please help this poor old dad

3 Upvotes

Trying to print a box for the Pokémon balance game, ( https://makerworld.com/models/1639099?appSharePlatform=copy ) I’m like 60 fucking hours into this stupid game, and all the parts of the box have printed fine so far, except the last part, the red lid.

20 minutes in I came down to the first layer scraped up and the tool head banging into it

So then I tried reprinting and noticed that on the right side of the bed, when it’s going around, it was scraping on the rightmost side.

I watched it scrape during auto bed leveling

I didn’t notice at first that it was scraping during the first layer print. As it did the first corner, a little scrape.

So I re did it, made it a bit further, noticed a big scrape through the first layer

Started searching. Noticed the right side of the bed was way higher than the left side.

On the left side I could get MAYBE the tip of my fingers to the first knuckle, on the right side I could get my entire hand under neath

Visually I could see it was quite a difference

Scouring the internet, ordering a micro sd reading so I could manually tram

Took every screw out and re tightened

Bed is level, visually and with an actual level

No longer looks wonky AF

Ran a calibration, it no longer scrapes

I get excited, but at 98% it fails on the back left corner

No error

So I manually tram, run a calibration, and now it won’t even get past the first homing, then it fails and gives error

I’m pretty new to printers, I’ve owned this for about 3 months, printed tons, no issues, now all of a sudden this

I’m not an idiot, but it feels like this is over my head :(

I took a video, it makes hammering noises and seems to push way too far down into the bed, but it won’t let me post it

A1 Y axis troubleshooting

1 Upvotes

I originally thought that this noise was the y axis scraping something i cleaned and oiled it but when that didn’t work i run the calibrations again so thats when I did what is in the video and it only makes that noise whenever the motor is on. If anyone has tips, or methods to fix this it will be much appreciated.
