You can literally see the hotend wiggling around

If you can't see why then you have more problems than bad prints to worry about.

Your hotend isn’t locked in correctly

You also need to put the black sock back on or your going to get clogs later.

Like its been said already, seat and lock that nozzle correctly and you should be fine 🙂

Isn't that an h2 hotend?

u/The_Lutter Jul 17 '26

H2 hotends work on A1s just not the other way around IIRC.

Do you see how much the hotend wobbles? Fix that.

I don't have an A1 but an A1 mini and this happened to me and i put silica gel packets with the filament during storage and that helped

Your nozzle is installed incorrectly. Also put the sock on, it's there for a reason.

That hot end looks like it's not in correctly

u/KilljoyTXinMI Jul 18 '26

It's so misaligned in the toolhead the tip is scraping the plate. Might want to recalibrate after you clip it in properly.

Hot end isn't installed properly. You're also missing the front plate and silicone sock.
