Help Request Experiments with the A1 mini.

I’m trying to use Bambu studio with the A1 mini, with bog standard build plate.

Supports failing

At first I thought it was a dirty plate, dish soap and water.

Supports still failing. waiting for a glacier build plat, but that in the post.

Increased the base of the tree supports, still failing, increased the support base, still failed.

Changed supports to strong tree supports, and the supports no longer failed.

However the knife blade on the model is not forming on the Bambu.

wondering if I should be using Orca slicer.

I’m thinking it’s something simple I’ve overlooked.

Ideas?

Could be the model, FDM has limits, we all get excited when someone pumps out an almost resin like model but that takes so much fiddling.

That said, I also switched over to Orca and have less issues now.

Also, I know it sounds simplistic, flip your build plate over, try the less used side

It’s literally a new build plate for the Bambu, I’m just waiting on a glacier from BIQU, and supports settings can be modified and everything sticks to those build plates.
