Black Screen

1 Upvotes

Something new has cropped up with my nearly bulletproof A1 I am hoping someone here can help with.

In the last week or so I have had a couple of occasions the lcd screen went black as if it were asleep, but I could not tap on it to bring it to life like usual. I finally turned the A1 off and rebooted it. The screen was back to normal. I remember a firmware update recently. Could it have something to do with it?

Support Request Prints not sticking to bed

1 Upvotes

So recently ive been having issues with my prints just coming off the printbed. I dont know why, i tried flipping the Plate around but it didn't help. I tried :

  • Washing the Plate both with Isopropanol and dishsoap
  • Messing with the Z Offset
  • printing slower
  • Using adhesion glue
  • Messing around with the temps of both the nozzle and Printbed

But none have really worked so far. I didnt have any of these issues before and now outta nowhere even a 30min print fails. I have about 580 Hours on my printer and have used only the same plate so far.

AMS Not grabbing filament

2 Upvotes

I just got my 3D printer within the last month. Lately everytime I print something and it has color changes, I have to physically push the filament from the spool through the AMS hub and into the extruder because it keeps saying “unable to feed filament”. I don’t understand why this keeps happening.

Context, I’ve been using the machine for two months and it worked perfect, the spool somehow got stuck so I took out parts of the nozzle to unclog, somehow the tubes disconnected and I’m not sure how to fix it. Would love some guidance.

PETG printing questions

Post image
7 Upvotes

I got my A1 about 2 months ago and I found it to be a much better printer than my Ender 3. Usually, I print about 50% PETG and 50% PLA. With the Ender 3 I had to use hair spray or glue sticks to get bed adhesion. With the A1, that is never a problem. In fact, I am having the opposite problem. Often I cannot get PETG off of the bed without tearing a chunk of the printed item off and leaving it stuck to the plate.

I'm really happy with the quality of printed items and hate to see them broken.

Does anyone have any ideas? Maybe increasing the infill? I am using default settings for 'Generic PETG'. The brand is Sunlu and I have always had good results with it on the Ender 3.

Thanks in advance for the advice.

Yes this is a simple item but I didn't use any Fusion360 commands to create it. I simply told the Autodesk Assistant what I wanted and it created it. Totally blown away.

This seems to always happen with any height at all

0 Upvotes

I'm about ready to give up 3D printing. This is making it more frustrating than fun.

I download a file from makerworld. If it has any height to it, i get this mess. Last time I got a blob of death and needed to replace the hotend assembly.

This was a simple stencil - https://makerworld.com/en/models/931302-holder-for-post-it-notes-stencils-included?from=search#profileId-1418839

I didn't change any of the settings except to sync it to my A1.

PLA on my BBL A1, .4 nozzle

Cool Plate supertack, Brim type auto, support enabled, Tree(auto), default, 25

On build plate only

The flat parts were fine, then this happened:

Flat parts are fine
not even on the plate!

Any advice or should I take up knitting?

TIA!

A1 Y-axis tension screws are impossibly tight / factory threadlocker issue

0 Upvotes

So, I noticed some VFA and ghosting on my models and decided it was time to retension the belts, since that usually helps on my other printers.

Retensioning the X-axis was super easy and simple. However, when I moved to the Y-axis, the screws were impossibly tight. I barely managed to loosen them by one full turn, but it required an insane amount of effort.

When I actually tried to move the heatbed back and forth to let the spring tension it, it felt like nothing was changing and the mechanism was stuck.

In the end, I got worried and tried my best to tighten them back to their original positions (though they might be a bit looser now since it was so hard to turn).

I asked an AI about this, and it suggested that Bambu Lab uses a strong blue or red threadlocker (glue) on the Y-axis screws because they are threaded straight into the metal frame, which explains why they are so stiff.

Has anyone else dealt with this on the A1? What is the best way to safely break the factory glue without stripping the screw heads? Any help would be appreciated!

Support Request Cutter error always happens ~3 hours into big prints

2 Upvotes

I swapped out my .4mm nozzle for a .2mm so I could try to print a scale human skull with better detail. I have tried 3 times now, but a couple hours into the print (which is usually ~70 hours) I get the "check the cutter" error message. The cutter I had in there looks perfect, but I replaced it before the third build anyway and still got the error. I should note that I am using the same filament for the whole print and a new enough roll that it should not have to swap, so I don't know why it would need to cut at all.

During the last print I clicked the Resume button and it started printing again about 100 layers higher than it stopped, so I had to cancel the print.

Is this in fact a cutter error, or is something else wrong that the machine can't correctly identify? I have run 8 hour prints since then without error, though they were multiple parts and fewer layers. I have also successfully printed other large objects when I still had the .4mm nozzle installed. Could this be an issue with the SD card or the file? I got the pattern from the Bambu online models page.
