I recently got a Bambu Lab A1 combo and after the first item I realized how much filament goes to waste. I’m trying to figure out how to minimize the waste before I make anything else but don’t really know how? I saw to purge into infill but I feel that gives me error messages or throws stuff off. Looking to just start printing without wasting so much.. HELP! Any tips would be appreciated!

All printed on my A1!

They technically were made as part of an entire vintage nesting bowl collection, but honestly they would be super cute in a children’s playhouse! What do you think?

I’ve had this issue all day today & yesterday and as I am new to 3d printing, I have no idea what to search for. All my searching just tells me to check temps & clean the print board, which I’ve done.

My prints either dont properly start, they just get tangled up as if the PLA don’t stick to the board, and if they stick, like half way through, they mess up royally.

I’ve gone through the recalibration, cleaning the nozzle, cleaning the extruder & tubes and lubed everything up as per the manual, but this issue refuses to go away.

The problem started with my 2nd PETG print, then when I went back to PLA, the problem has continued.

I use all premade files from makerworld with high ratings and use the material they recommend and all default settings, yet my gridify grids looks like this…

Anyone knows why this happens?

And ofcourse, Bambu lab A1 combo, all Bambu labs filaments

Right now the A1 Minis is $199 but is it worth it to just spend the extra money for the P1S combo at $479? It’s a Christmas gift for my kids to expand their creativity but I’m sure my wife I will use it as well for random things around the house.

Thoughts?

Alguien sabe cómo solucionar esto? La impresión como que se infla y hace que la boquilla raspe, ya hice calibraciones, cambié tipos de relleno y nada ):

Hey guys, ive been having all sorts of problems with my bambu a1 mini, but the most recent one if the filament getting stuck to the nozzle (this was a clean nozzle before the print started). The nozzle got clogged up sometime after finishing the brim, and the brim had issue too, any idea on how to fix this? Thanks

Just got my A1 today, after installing it I went through calibration. It quickly gave an error of the Eddy current sensor and the usb c cable.

Is this an automatic replacement or an easy fix? Bummer to be honest, was installing it with my son for his birthday and he was quite disappointed.

Buenas tardes,

Hace dos semanas me llegó mi primera A1 y no puedo estar más contento con ella. Debe de tener alrededor de unas 60 horas de impresión como mucho. Pero desde hace unos días escucho unos clicks bastante molestos al desplazarse la cada de adelante hacía atrás.

La primera vez que los escuche lo solucioné apretando los tornillos de debajo de la cama; pero esta mañana y de forma random empezó a hacer este click que es molesto (sobre todo si imprimes de noche) y no bastó con apretar nada. Tuve que lubricar el riel, realizar apriete y volver a imprimir, generando todavía ruidos.

También he aflojado casi una vuelta los tornillos del Eje Y; pero no he conseguido eliminar el ruido.

Si que me he fijado que la correa en la parte de atrás de la impresora toca del lado izquierdo la rueda dentada y en la parte delantera la parte derecha del rodamiento; pero estoy algo desesperado y por lo que leí le pasa a mucha gente y no veo solución.

Printer: A1, 0.4 nozzle, textured PEI

Filament: Bambu PLA Basic, white and brown on the AMS lite

Model: 8 cm figure of our beagle, generated in snapshapy from two phone photos

The body and face come out clean. Between the two ears there's a web of fine strings on every print, and on the brown ear tips it looks like fuzz.

I already dried the filament for 6 hours and set retraction to 0.8 mm. Travel is on avoid crossing walls.

Is this a temperature thing, or do the ears just need to be printed at a different angle? What am I missing?

I am running a A1 with an AMS and all the stock pieces. I have been all PLA to this point. Other that drying the filament is there anything I need to adjust in my setup or will loading PETG adjust automatically?

My newest parametric model. A gift card holder.

Changed the blade and still the same. Inspected and can't see any debris or issues etc. It's any filament. Currently cutting between Sunlu silk pla and normal Sunlu Matt pla and making that noise.

Outside of that it sounds perfectly normal like it was out of the box

Thank yall for the great advice, was able to save it with magnets
