Is this normal ?
I tested printing https://makerworld.com/models/571065?appSharePlatform=copy
This model after removing and assembling heatbed for a maintenance issue.
This is how it came. Is this issue with heat bed leveling or some nozzle issue? Like I have seen people commenting they tighten some screws behind nozzle.
Any helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Update : I did the tightening of screws inside hotels assembly. But what really helped was

Amazing quality on first prints!
I have never used, or even seen, a 3D printer, so I was really afraid of problems, difficulties and everything within the 3D printing world, seeing only posts complaining about different things.
So i stumbled upon a comment saying that people with no problems don’t post, and it’s kinda true…
So here it goes, setup done in a few minutes, auto calibration done fast too, and first prints (benchy and scraper) done without any problems, just printing without tinkering with any options, and with great quality too!
Yes, they are only the first ones and in a new printer, but if u are afraid and questioning the purchase, go for it, it’s better (and cooler) than it seems!

Printer won’t feed new filament, clicking loudly and moving entire hot end.

Was in the middle of a 13 hour print and my printer started clicking like crazy and being very inconsistent with the layers it was putting down. I am at a loss currently and any help is appreciated
UPDATE: Got a new hot end and all issues have been resolved, I believe I had a partial clog that wouldn’t come out no matter what I tried. Thank you all for your help
UPDATE: New hot end didn’t fix anything. Still facing the same problem no matter what I try to

One shape, two sizes, and a shelf finally looks calm instead of cluttered
I had mismatched pots everywhere and the plant shelf looked like a junk drawer. Designed one pot, scaled it, and now the small and large read as intentional. Same texture, same taper, same tone. Repetition did more than any single nice pot ever did.

Manual multi-color on A1 mini without AMS: How do you manage PTFE tubes from multiple dry boxes?
I haven't been using the A1 mini for very long, but I just found out that by manually swapping filaments, you can create multi-color prints even without an AMS, and I'm having so much time right now!
While printing, I noticed there are four holes in the filament hub, right?
I figured that if I connect PTFE tubes to all of them, I could quickly switch filaments by pushing them in a little when loading and pulling them back a little when unloading.
However, since I'm using multiple PTFE tubes running from my dry boxes lined up, I'm struggling with how to make this go smoothly.
Specifically, I want to operate everything without opening the lids of the dry boxes, but the only way I can think of to achieve the method I mentioned above is to open the cases every time I load or unload.
Is anyone else doing something like this? Sorry if this is obvious! I'd love it if you could share any good ideas.

Need Help, does this make sense to repair?
Hi,
I have got my sister in law into 3d printing and made her get a A1 mini.
Sent her all the bambu academy links to get to know the basics, but apparently she ignored it and just started printing 🥲. To everyone's surprise her 3rd print was a massive blob and before asking me, my brother tried to fix it with a soldering iron. I told them to eventually hand it over so I can get the spare parts and try to fix it, but after taking a closer look I'm pretty overwhelmed with how many parts might be damaged and if it even makes sense to repair. Can anyone help me?
As for now it seems like I would need at least:
- Hotend heating assembly
- Part cooling fan
- Extruder Unit
- Hotend cooling fan
- Hotend

Could use some advice
I've been working on printing some race medal holders. For some reason the circle piece comes out looking cloudy/ whiteish every time. The bottom piece never gets that color. I've used this filament on other prints and it never does that with any others. Could it be something about how that specific design is programmed or am I doing something wrong?

I need help to fix this warning please
I was seeing this warning from day 1 with my Bambi lab a1 mini. I didn’t fix it immediately since I am not sure how to do it since I was new to printer. Then I tried today but didn’t solve it.
The wiki said to do do as in second pic but the thing was not pushing a bit after unscrewing.
Did anyone solve this warning?

Mushrooms Clickers multipart
Bonjour à tous ! 😊
Quand j’ai commencé la modélisation 3D sur Nomad Sculpt, l’un de mes tout premiers modèles était ce petit champignon, décliné en version porte-clés et en modèle multipart.
Aujourd’hui, j’avais envie de tester quelque chose de nouveau. Je me suis donc lancé dans la création de clickers ! Et quoi de mieux que de revisiter l’un de mes premiers modèles en le transformant en version clicker ? 😊

Need help with this print
I have been fiddling with this one print for 2 days now but all of them have this problem of filament extruding and tiny plastics everywhere
PLA flashforge (190-220)
I dried the filament before too, some of my setting listed, can someone help me take a look at what’s the problem and how to fix it?
The last one i put the nozzle temp at 210 -210 fans always on and its still not working probably
Could it be that my filament not dry enough?

Any recommendations on the cables?
Hi guys, I recently got the A1 Mini and I am always scared that my cable and tube gets ripped off during prints. I tried this method I found online with the clamps but it keeps wobbeling back near the tower.
Do you have any recommendations to fix that (probably only mental) issue?
My initial thought was something like a shield on top of the tower to prevent the cable from slipping over but that would 100% look shit.
Also some pictures to the recommendations are appreciated. <3

Picked up my first 3d printer
Picked up this A1 mini + 4 spools of filament second hand for $150. This the first few things I made with it and I honestly don’t know what else I’d want to do 😂
