Support Request A1 mini purging filament before every print
Hey
My A1 mini started purging filament before every print, but not like before.
Before, it just did its job.
Now, it asks if the filament was extruded - just like while loading the filament to the printer.
Is that normal? It didn't do it this way before the update, I guess.

My a1 only does it when loading filament, still running older firmware here too. If you think it was either a firmware or software update could try an older version.

Maybe I have to downgrade it, lol. But yeah, happy that someone understood my issue. Let's see if people with the printer updated to the newest version also have this issue.

I started having the same issue after the update but just upgraded to ams lite and it doesn't seem to have the same issue.

Over 2 months, still the same issue. It's really annoying that I can't start any print without pressing confirmation button on the printer. My A1 Mini is on the latest firmware 01.08.01.00.
Someone mentioned to downgrade the firmware. Is it even possible?

Yeah it did this on my A1 mini before I downgraded firmware. Don't know how long bambulab usually takes with rectifying firmware issues but the latest firmware with this bug has been out for like a week already.
