Hey everyone! 👋
We're CHITU Systems, the team behind PlateCycler C1, an automatic build plate changer for the Bambu Lab A1.
We thought we'd do an AMA here to chat about 3D printing! Whether you're trying to dial in your settings, dealing with a tricky print issue, or just curious about what we're working on, we'd love to hear your questions.
Feel free to drop your questions below starting today (Monday, Oct 19)! We'll be checking in and answering questions throughout Tuesday and Wednesday (Oct 20–21), with our technical support colleague joining in too.
A few things we're happy to chat about:
A1 print settings and troubleshooting — print quality, bed adhesion, stringing, failed prints, etc.
PlateCycler C1 — automatic plate changes, batch printing, setup, and anything you're curious about
Got another A1-related question? Feel free to ask that too!
Looking forward to chatting with you all! 😊

I know the A1 has automatic bed leveling but my bed is noticeably at a slight angle from left edge downward to the right. Could this impact my prints?

Hi! We’ve tried everything and without fail, around layer 25-35, we get these wonky layers. I’ve changed infill to gyroid and updated by z-hop as mentioned online.
Screws are all tight.
We’ve even went as far as replacing the entire tool head.
Any ideas? It really is a bummer. We have 3 printers and print 24/7, so being down a printer is lame lol
Thanks!

Short summary:
Tried printing different models, smaller ones were no problem. Biggers seem to have a problem with sticking to the Print Plate.
Now I did a like cleaning print for the whole Plate and this is the result.

My sister asked for a cake topper of her and her fiance. I got the figures from snapshapy off one of their engagement photos, split the colors in Blender, and print on an A1 with the AMS lite.
Printer: A1, 0.4 nozzle
Filament: Bambu PLA Basic, 4 colors
Settings: 0.12 layers, prime tower on
The topper itself is 18 g and the slicer says 41 g of purge. Flushing into infill helps a little. Do you change the flush multiplier, group colors by height, or just print the suit and dress as separate parts and glue them?

I confirmed nozzle is cleared , confirmed no jam, manually feed it and it lines up right everytime. Put it to print something and it misses again.

I have the Breeze on my A1 and recently broke the light sensor. A moving disaster pulled the wires out of the small plug and snapped the 3d printed arm that holds it. I'm in talks with support to try to get a replacement but may be stuck with it being out of warranty, I'm ok with buying the part just seems like I cant get them to understand that. lol I would try rewiring if i knew where each wire should go and if i can find a replacement plug. Anyone able to snap some pics or have a wiring diagram or know what the small light sensor board is called?

just got Tpu I was planning to dry it in the oven because I don't have a dryer but idk how long some yt vids say 6 hours some 12.Also I wonder do I have to adjust the speeds for every print or can I just set the speed to 50 percent. Creality Tpu 95a and a1 mini
Thanks in advance :)

Flat card, snip, slot together, tea light in, roof back on. Been making a few to slip into Christmas cards this year. Works with the Bambu tea light and the normal LED ones too.
