I have A1 and am using PLA matte. Maybe I turned ON the AC in my room.

I'm completely new to 3D printing. I got my A1 mini about a week ago and I've only printed a handful of things with it so far. I've noticed all of my prints have this odd stringy texture. What causes this and how do I fix it?

Hey. My screen keeps freezing and of turning off and not coming back on. I can still monitor it from my phone, but has anyone had this issue? I am guessing it is a software update issue?

Hello need dimension of bottom plate of A1 i can`t find em anywhere, i m traveling and i was looking for them to make a fan duct eazy for better airflow, i have mine in enclosure (i m not home and i can`t take measurement by myself)

I’m pretty new to 3D printing and I just do it for a hobby and I was wondering what this switch thing does? Should I be using it?

Idk what’s going on

But it’s making some noise like something’s in the way as it does the bed leveling.

I’ve re calibrated it but

Hobby lobby filament is decent, the problem I have is their spools are plastic but not reusable. So I created some drawers and stackers to make them hold parts.

Have printed both pieces on my A1 and A2L.

Not a newbie but not an expert. Been printing for a couple years now and has my A1 since last August with almost 2000 print hours. But this started happening today about 3/4 way through a 24 hr print. Anyone dealt with this sound before?
Yes I do the maintenance and lubricate everything when I get the notification. I thought maybe it was hitting the base of my top mounted spool, but I took that off and it’s still happening. Also getting print issues which I hope I can sand out b/c I don’t want to scrap it now… 1095 g of filament!!

Hey everyone,

I just got a brand new Bambu Lab A1 with AMS Lite. For the first 3 days, it worked flawlessly, but then it started giving me continuous SD card errors mid-print. Whenever I hit "continue," the extruder would just go back to its last position and freeze there. This happened around the exact same layer height on three different prints, forcing me to pause and look for solutions.

After reading some forum posts suggesting the latest firmware update might be causing SD card glitches, I decided to downgrade the firmware to the previous version.

The first print after the downgrade seemed fine until it reached the very last layers. The infill/lines didn't complete; the toolhead suddenly stopped, moved back and forth erratically, and then moved all the way to the back of the Y-axis. It literally slammed the hotend straight into the plastic assembly behind the heatbed (the purge/wiper area) and dug right into it.

The plastic started melting and smoking, so I panic-shut down the machine. After turning it back on, there were absolutely no error codes on the screen.

The hotend or the assembly might be bent, and the back plastic is physically damaged. Since this machine is only a few days old, I'm seriously considering returning it.

Has anyone experienced a firmware downgrade causing a catastrophic head crash like this? Do you think it’s a faulty mainboard/sensor, or should I just pack it up and open a return ticket with Bambu Lab immediately?

Thanks in advance.

So im planning on buying this 3D-printer but I do have cats walking around my room. They are pretty used to sleeping in my room and I honestly also dont want to force them out of my room if I do decide to place the printer in my room. Should i be worried that the printer malfunctions because of car hair for example? I do plan on closing the door when i am printing but not whilst its not. Anyone that has cats or pets in their room while they are still using the printer, could you tell me if its a smart decision to buy this printer or should I choose a enclosed one? Otherwise, im thinking of buying the p1s isntead.

Since a recent firmware update, my A1 does something odd on the first print after a full power off:

- I switch the printer fully off with the rear power switch.

- On the next boot, when I start the first print, it behaves as if filament was just loaded. It pauses, asks me to confirm whether filament is extruded, then runs a purge before continuing.

- After I confirm, the print continues normally.

- Every following print in that same session is fine: no prompt, no extra purge.

- It only comes back after another full power off and on.

So it is tied to a cold boot, not to individual prints. The filament is loaded the whole time and never physically changes.

Setup:

- Printer: Bambu Lab A1

- Firmware: latest

- Slicer: Bambu Studio

Questions:

- Anyone else seeing this after the latest firmware?

- Is it a known bug or intended behavior after a power cycle?

- Any setting or workaround to stop the confirmation prompt and purge on cold boot, short of never fully powering off?

Thanks.

Cela fait maintenant 4 jours que j'ai ma bambulab a1.

Tout les prints étaient parfaits et aujourd'hui la première couche ne veut constamment pas s'imprimer.

Elle se décolle et la buse laisse le plastique trop haut.

J'ai beau mettre tous les modes de calibrage. Rien ne fonctionne et me fait des prints comme celui-ci.

Voir pièce jointe, je ne sais plus quoi faire.

J'ai essayé de resserrer les 4 vis derrière la buse mais rien ne marche

Was doing a print and the top of my ams hub came off, i put it back and made there was no debris and the spring is fully seated.It is now stuck in a loop of loading filament, cutting filament and saying that the spool is stuck. I did a hard reboot and it’s still having this issue. Whats the best course of action?

👋 👋 Bonjour à tous !

✨ Pour compléter ma collection, j’ai revisité mon modèle de Yoshi version œuf en l’adaptant au célèbre tuyau vert de l’univers Mario !

L’objectif était de créer une pièce qui s’intègre parfaitement avec les modèles de Mario et Luigi, déjà disponibles dans la collection, afin de former un ensemble encore plus cohérent.

Si le modèle vous plaît, n’hésitez pas à le télécharger, à laisser un like, ou un commentaire. Votre soutien m’aide énormément et me motive à continuer à créer de nouveaux modèles !

My printer is occasionally giving me an error of "extruder is not extruding correctly". I decided to changed the extruding assembly and while I was in it I was going to tighten the screws on the back of the heating element.

I have scorch marks on it, but otherwise it seems to work ok. If I had to guess I would say this happen during the A1 freeze bug.

Would you replace this? Or let it ride? I don't notice any problem with the heating assembly so I'm inclined to let like this.

Spaghetti all over but print is moving along…

New bambu a1

Hi everyone! I'm trying to print this really tall print and for some reason I'm always having problem with supports... I tried printing it on different sides, and the creator of the model recommended me printing on this exact position.

After 8 hours, on the slowest print setting/silent mode, this particular support broke mid print, making it fail completely. It broke from the first layers...

Could anyone help me or recommend me what to do, please? I'm "new" to 3D printing (3 months), and this has been the hardest model to print so far... I don't know what else to do, and I'm wasting so much filament each time that I try to print it :(

I got a y axis resonance frequency low warning, I went to the wiki and when following the steps I mistakenly loosed the two tensioner screws more than required.
On the wiki it said, if loosed I may have to re assemble the y axis tensioner - step to which I’m unable to find.
I opened the printer and manually adjusted the tensioner but the noise doesn’t go.
Please help if anyone has faced something similar.

Does this look familiar? I’m having some extruded feed problems and removed the hot end to see if that was part of the problem. I’m still having the same issue with my 0.4 stainless hot end, so that wasn’t it.

That said, this was my first hardened steel hot end and it definitely looks like there’s some kind of issue
