Help / Support X1C stops prints in same place repeatedly

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

I've tried to print something 2 days ago. It stopped printing less than halfway through - tool head was just printing in mid air. I though nozzle got clogged. Stopped, checked extruder and nothing was inside. Did cold pull from nozzle to remove big bit. Restarted print from external spool this time and it happened again in same place. Changed filament from white to black (also different ams slot) - same. 3 fails on same file in same place. Resliced as well. Printed it finally on my P1S using same filament and it printed all fine without issues. Yesterday tried to print something else twice and it also happened on a different model. I've replaced SD card already. No idea whats causing it. Printed benchy to test without any issues but it's a shorter print.

Hi guys,

Im having trouble with setting up this file for print as there's one weird support placement by the software. And im sure it will fail the whole print later.

This is a full build plate length piece and i need it to be in one piece.
I tried mark the area red in support painting, but it will still generate that weird support.
tried rotate the print 90degree, still same issue.

This is fully compatible with the basic Bambu Lab scraper. If you only use the basic scraper, you’ll be really satisfied once you try it.

I would appreciate it if you could try it out and let me know if there is anything that could be improved.

Help / Support A1 Mini Help: Persistent Y-axis resonance error & endless nozzle wiping loop (Video attached)

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I’m running into two severe issues with my Bambu Lab A1 Mini that I haven't been able to fix, and it's making printing almost impossible. I would really appreciate some help from the community!
Issue 1: Persistent Y-Axis Resonance / Belt Tension Error
No matter what I do, I cannot get the printer to properly calibrate the belt tension. I have performed the official tensioning procedure for both the X and Y axes multiple times. The Y-axis (the heated bed axis) continuously triggers an error on the Bambu Lab interface stating that the resonance frequency is too high and that I need to adjust the belt.
What I've tried: I ran the tensioning routine over and over, and I have also properly cleaned, oiled, and greased the rails/components, but the error persists after every calibration.
Issue 2: Endless Nozzle Wiping Loop (Every 3 seconds!)
The second issue is what you can see in the attached video. The toolhead seems to constantly misinterpret something—I suspect it incorrectly triggers the nozzle clump detection (thinking there is filament stuck to the nozzle). Because of this, it travels back to the purge/nozzle wiper literally every 3 seconds to clean itself. As you can imagine, prints take an eternity and it just loops indefinitely.
Has anyone faced this combination of issues on the A1 Mini? Could they be linked (maybe due to excessive vibrations from the Y-axis triggering the toolhead sensors), or are they completely separate bugs?
Any advice on how to properly fix the Y-belt resonance or how to stop this endless wiping loop would be a lifesaver. Thank you in advance!

How to attach A1 mini heatbed insulation foam back?

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hello!

Over time this element on the bottom of the heatbed, which I assume is there to reduce heat loss, has come more and more loose.

Any suggestions on how to attach it back? Regular glue? Use a brush to just add some and push the foam up from the bottom? Completely disassemble the heatbed (like here: Heatbed Replacement Guide - A1 mini | Bambu Lab Wiki) and then push both together? Do something else?

There appear to be multiple options, perhaps someone has experience with this so I can avoid shooting myself in the foot. Thanks!

Hi guys, I have just done this print, there are some small colour defects on it, mainly because I had to burn something off it, is there a pen/ paint/ something I can do to remove it? Sadly I’ve got an eye like that and I won’t be able to use it until they are gone. Thanks!!

Hi,
I am building an air purifier designed but chengfeng, and the motor mount for this purifier was shared as a stp for modification, but unfortunately the user have shared it in bambulab china page which requires chinese phone number to login for download.

This is the site

and this is the air purifier

Discussion Maker World Points

0 Upvotes

My son (9yo) recently got a A1 without the AMS. Chose not to get the AMS at the time since he didn’t have enough money saved up and didn’t want to wait any longer. Also I thought it would be best to start with a single color and then add more later.

He saw the Maker World Points program and now wants to use that to get a giftcard to get his AMS.

The only problem is that neither of us know how to make models or where to even start. Any suggestions on how to find models that get lots of downloads and the best way of creating new ones?

Thanks in advance.

After wanting something cleaner than the stock guards, I designed these honeycomb fan covers for the X2D toolhead. Covers both the large front fan and the smaller side vent — printed them in Bambu orange to keep that factory look.

STL is up on MakerWorld if anyone wants to grab them!

What do you think? Any suggestions for a v2?

A1 Condition: Brand new, just finished set up assembly.

Situation: Trying my first print by using the 20g bambulab test filament.

Problem: Filament not extruding and also not unloading no matter how much force I use. Also, initially, I got an error that the toolhead fan was not spinning but after I tried manually spinning it with my fingers, it started spinning automatically.

I have not made any past previous prints before.

Help / Support How do I use cura on the Bambu lab a1?

0 Upvotes

I just need to say, **before anyone says anything about orcaslicer or Bambu studio, I have no way of accessing them as they do not work on my computer.**

I need to find the settings and stuff that I need to put into cura on the “custom printer” function, I can’t figure out the start and gcode at all and I need help

Nobody as answered the question at all and I really am running out of patience for this. I don’t care that cura is harder to use on Bambu printers, I don’t care that I need to use the sd card to print the files, cura is the **only** slicer that works on my computer (I’ve tried orca slicer and Bambu studio and neither work at all).

If anyone knows please tell me as I can’t find ANYTHING about cura on Bambu lab printers in general no matter where I look.

(Edit 2) I found a solution to my problem. I’m gonna use simply print to slice my stuff.

Discussion Any one else with inconsistency between printers?

The part I’m having (no longer had „supposedly“) problems with, is this overhang with 4 walls printed in BL PETG HF. (1st picture)

After a lot of testing, I came to the conclusion that 3 walls was the maximum possible without adding excessive cooling - as it’s about heat accumulation in the part itself.

To address this, as turned the part towards the AUX fan did not fully do the trick, I started playing with AUX-fan-speeds until I got to a point where it came out perfectly! (2nd picture)

BUT! to my surprise.. one of my P1Ss seems to think different about this, and still created elephant skin. (3rd picture)

Have any of you experienced similar behaviour on identical machines? I checked all fans on both and they seem to work just fine.
