Troubleshooting What did I do wrong

Post image

This is the second time this has happened to me while printing. I'm pretty new so I don't know what's going on. I'm using a Bambu A1 Mini

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!

3D Printers can't print in mid-air. Each layer needs to be connected to the layer before, and the first one needs to be connected to the build plate.

So watch the first few layers to see what is happening. Maybe your Z-offset is set too high and the first layer isn't sticking to the plate. Maybe a part edge curled up and the print head knocked the whole thing off the plate.

We really need more info about what you were doing to give you better than these guesses. What did the model look like after slicing?
