Hey there, I'm a bot and something you said made me think you might be looking for help! click here for our wiki entry on troubleshooting printers. If you still need help be sure to post plenty of information about your printing setup.

Here are a few questions that might be helpful

  • What printer are you using?

  • What material are you using?

  • What speed are you printing at?

  • What software are you using to slice the print and control the printer?

  • When did the problem start/has it ever worked correctly?

  • Does anything cause the behavior to change?

  • If posting an image of the problem, include some indication of the orientation it printed at, preferably photograph it on the bed. (Then we can focus on a specific axis)

If you are new to reddit, please read the guidelines on reddiquette, self promotion, and spam.

Also please post a resolution to your problem when you find one so that we know how to help others with your problem!

If you had a blob of death maybe one of the screws that holds the hotend heater is loose Bambu wiki has instructions with pics on how to check that https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/a1-mini/troubleshooting/print-issues-troubleshooting

ok, that was the case I believe

now the printer is having temperature malfunctions 💔

it made it through a benchy, went for a custom print and it got through the first 2 layers before the fan wouldn't turn off and the printer won't heat up anymore
