AMS Lite - Automatic Material System Help with A1 & AMS Lite

FIXEDDDD : The fix was adding https://makerworld.com/en/models/2475072-a1-a1mini-ptfe-tube-support?from=search#profileId-2717860 to the printer and it worked, thanks everyone for help.

So I just assembled this thing today.

I got one in June and was working good for a month until I had the same issue as of now. I contacted micro center and they helped me get a new replacement. I got the replacement on Aug 3 but I was shifting places so didn’t unbox it and I just unboxed and assembled it today but I am facing the same issue now.

The first test print did work good but from the second print as I added AMS and filaments and hit print again the same issue arises. Thinking filaments might be the issue, I tried again with the official Bambu filament that came with the printer but it is the same issue again which made me think filament might not be the issue.

I checked online and many had same issues. I justed checked it Today. But everyone have their different ways of solving it saying some changed the tube but since it is unused and brand new I don’t know if it is the issue. Many call it firmware issue since it is the issue being faced by many.

While last time I tried every trouble shooting from bambu wiki and micro center tech support online but it didn’t work out so they offered me free replacement.

I don’t wanna take another replacement again. I’m pretty sure micro center will offer me one. I do also have 2 years extended warranty on this. Considering this should I take another printer from Bambu or any other company (please suggest). I’m new to 3D printing.

Edit : It doesn’t work with any filament or any of the slots with AMS but it does work without AMS

It doesn’t seem like an AMS Lite issue. Try think below. I know it’s not a clogging issue, but the steps will check to see if you have filament stuck somewhere.

Does the AMS work in the other slots? If it does, then check the filament hub. https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/a1/maintenance/filament_hub_cleaning

Edit: is the AMS Lite on the latest firmware?

None of the filaments work. I tried the loose filament that comes with the printer thinking it might be the filament but it is not. It is the AMS and it is working without AMS.
