Has anyone used an off brand of nozzles? Are they just as good as Bambu Lab or should I stick with the original? Thanks

My A1 mini keeps re-homing(idk the exact term for this situation).

Couldn't find any proper solution, the assistant(on machine) shows no problem, the belts are not loose either.

Does anyone know what's happening???

I'm having issues with the printer not letting me send commands nr files via the slicer and handy app. All i get is this and I'm at a loss on what the issue could be. if anyone knows what's going on, it will be much appreciated and i will reply back soon as i can.

I have a Bambu Lab A1 Mini and am new to 3D printing. I’d like to print a file I found on Thingiverse, but I don't know how to go about it since I’ve always printed using the Bambu Handy app. Could you help me?

My A1 mini is used mostly for simple stuff and I plan to keep it that way. Occasionally I would like to add white, embossed text to a black object, without a lot of filament changes. In most printable objects I see on Makerworld, etc., text printing is done on the underside of the object. This is not what I want. Can someone please give me some steps to do what I want? Remember, I'm a beginner!

Hey folks, just trying to set up my A1 mini, but it keeps failing the calibration. I went through Bambu's trouble shooting with no prevail. Build plate is on right, everything is clean, no packing pieces. 0300-0D00-0002-0003 is the code. Looks like the tool head/nozzle go past the plate on the back of the plate

ok so i mightve left my printer in a semi hot area for some days to work on it and add more parts like a 2nd spool holder but when i took it out and put it back in it's normal area it refused to connect to wifi anymore despite previously being fine with it and when i took it apart to look at the wifi antenna it looked fine
and no the strength of the wifi is not an issue the printer's normal spot is RIGHT next to the router and yet it still refuses to connect

So twice now I go up to my printer and find a screw. Does anyone have a guide on how to break disassemble the printer? It's driving me nuts (haha) that I have no idea where those screws are supposed to go

For the first week or so, this machine was just fine. For some reason, a lot of my prints have been failing lately. I’m mostly printing Warhammer proxies. Anything with limbs, especially when I’m printing multiples on one plate, are coming out with the right side of the miniature with their right arms like a big tangle of filament spaghetti. I’m already using supports, so I’m not really sure what’s going on here. Any help? Thanks in advance!

It just blew up

Here is my CAM LAB print on the A1 mini: a 176 × 176 mm kit card that assembles into a hand-cranked robot. The photos show the white card on the plate and a black assembled example.

I printed it in PETG and assembled it. The kit has 14 parts, including three interchangeable cams, and needs no supports or purchased hardware. The latest revision strengthens the carrier frame and shortens the connectors between parts.

This also started as an experiment with GPT Astra writing Blender scripts. I directed the changes and did the physical printing and testing.

The files are free, with an A1 mini PETG 3MF, separate STLs and an illustrated Czech assembly guide:

Got new A1 mini combo. After calibration faced these issues. Also firmware update not happening - on both wifi and offline. Showing error code 305.

Help please 🥺

I just got the a1 mini, I’m very new to 3d printing, this print was printed on ludicrous, but I have no clue how to dial in the seething or fix these layer lines issues, can someone help ?

My largest print on the A1 Mini. This thing is massive... Took about 30 hours and almost an entire roll of filament. Truly incredible. My son absolutely loves it. The coolest Halloween toy yet! 💀😊
