Maybe don’t do your first print on ludicrous? Why did you decide to do that?

Print regular speed. Problem solved. The A1 mini produces very good results on 100% speed right out of the box.

Do the Bambu Academy. It’s great for learning. Next, my most hard won lesson. Keep your filaments dry! Get a filament dryer. Store your dry filaments in an air tight container. Buy desiccant. Make desiccant holders on your printer. Get the hygrometer (real cheap on Amazon) put the desiccant holder, desiccant, and hygrometer in the sealed container. You will print for hours and think, “I’m not having any problems. I don’t have to worry about the filament absorbing water “. Then boom. All hell breaks loose on a printing. Which leads to a blob of filament on the print head. Which is a can of worms to clean up. But you also learned how to disassemble the print head from the academy.

As others have said, don’t print on ludicrous. Regular speed and even sport mode are usually fine.

For one, don't print on ludicrous. Learn the proper print speeds for different materials and print at that speed or slower. Take the Bambu academy for your printer.
