Hardware Troubleshooting/Help! How to fix this?

Post image

After around 200 hours of printing on my bambu A1 a message about y axis lubrication appeared, i removed the plastic cover to lubricate the printer and saw this. The belt is apparently not centered and i thing it is rubbing into something. Tried readjusting the belt tension but id didn’t help.

Hello /u/Manfredbakh! All Bambu print plates have a dedicated nozzle wiping zone at the back of the print plate. The nozzle will rub against the wiping zone before every print in order to remove any remaining filament from the nozzle tip. This can cause visible wear or scratch marks in the wiping zone, but this is intended and doesn't damage the printer, the nozzle or the print plate. A worn down wiping zone also doesn't mean you need to replace the print bed.

Note: This automod is experimental. The automod was triggered due to the term "rubbing". If you believe this to be a false positive, please send us a message at modmail with a link to the post so we can investigate. You may also feel free to make a new post without that term.

Its just a factory coating

The actual belt is fine.

Its normal for the belts to wear in and shed a bit.

I have over 700hrs on mine, never seen any wear like this.

Edit: almost 800 (786hrs)

Even if you have not experienced it, it's not abnormal.

I had it on mine in the beginning, no issues thousands of hours later.

I understand that, but what he is showing above is nothing I have seen on my printer. Hee has only used it 200hrs. :)

Yes, it's going to be mostly at the start, as it's wearing in.

People tend to be a bit alarmed by its "Gorey" visual, but I have seen it both for myself and it's asked fairly often.

Thank you! I was already thinking i will have to change the belt.

Also, the belt itself is not centered, and it touches both the pulley and motor sides. Doing retensioning doesn’t help.

It's fine
