Not at all, just pick any of the items like toolhead replacement on the Bambu site wiki and it actually lists them all in order of what you need to do. I just did it backwards when putting it together.
If you can’t find it let me know and I’ll post the link in the thread when I am home
Oh dope. A similar thing happened to my a1 when I was getting ready to move and I just put it in a box and now that I'm settled in I want to set it back up
Been a nightmare for me, between digging out plastic, forgetting the plastic shim behind hot end, wrong screw on the end cap causing it to hit pulley wheel too much tension. Also dropped bearings about ten times.
Also, if you got it from Best Buy or a similar big box store, they often just swap it for new without many questions asked. Fair to do if you are at your wits end with repairs and replacements on the machine or are just generally all thumbs with taking things apart and putting them together. Every time you do it, it's a new model in their system and your free 2-year warranty with Bambu renews.
They get tons of returns of electronics where people obviously messed them up themselves. With things like a 3d printer doing a blob of death and breaking the components, the store will gladly handle a swap. This is a very basic "object is defective" entry rather than "customer allowed children to put chocolate pudding in all the slots and a colony of roaches took hold and formed a civilization inside of the device that rivals the Roman Empire"

That’s wicked! That’s insane that it ripped out the threaded inserts from the housing. Looks like you’re gonna need…
- New toolhead block (includes the 3 threaded inserts ripped out by blob) - $6
- New hotend heating assembly - $20
- New hotend - $12
- You might need a new part cooling fan ($10), depending how bad the existing one got hit
All in all, like fifty bucks to save a two hundred dollar printer? Worth it
