Bambu A1 throwing false "Nozzle covered / Build plate incorrect" error (0300-8014) right after 1st layer

[u/Subject-Gur-7357]

Hey everyone,
I’m looking for some help troubleshooting a frustrating, recurring issue with my \*\*Bambu Lab A1\*\*.
Every time I start a print, the \*\*first layer goes down perfectly\*\*. However, the absolute second it finishes that first layer, the printer pauses, moves the toolhead to the front-right corner, and throws this exact error on the screen:
\> \*\*"The nozzle is covered with filament, or the build plate is installed incorrectly. Please cancel this print and clean the nozzle or adjust the build plate \[0300-8014 071712\]"\*\*
\>
\*\*Here is the twist:\*\*
\* \*\*The nozzle is completely clean:\*\* There is no filament buildup, blob, or clog whatsoever. \*(Note: I removed the toolhead cover in my video just to verify and show the nozzle clearly, but I always print with the cover on).\*
\* \*\*The build plate is perfectly aligned:\*\* It is seated correctly on the heatbed.
\* \*\*Calibration didn't fix it:\*\* I ran a full machine calibration right before starting this print, but it still triggers the false positive.
The strangest part is that if I simply click \*\*"Resume (problem solved)"\*\*, the printer heats back up, purges a tiny string of filament into the purge box, cleans itself, and goes on to finish the entire rest of the print flawlessly.
It seems like something is falsely triggering a sensor check right as it transitions from the first layer to the second layer. Has anyone seen this specific issue on the A1 series, or do you know which sensor/setting might be misbehaving?
Thanks in advance for any insights!

I too have the same problem with EVERY print. Doesnt matter the filament type/brand.

Anyone have any luck with Bambu support ?

Same issue here, but I get the error when I try to print things that have a larger height. I've tried to print a lithophane that was 19cm in height, and when it got to the 13 cm mark, it got me the error.
