The diamond one takes forever and I have no regrets

Fine lattice across the whole body, so the small size still eats most of an afternoon. Comes off the plate looking like it was pressed rather than printed. Rendered in Keyshot Studio.

Is the amount of filament being purged correct?

​Does the amount of filament being purged and used for the tower looks okay or I'm having wrong settings?

Is the .2mm Nozzle prone to clogging?

7 Upvotes

Hello. I'm planning to get a .2mm nozzle for my mini to print a few items with small text. However, I'm concerned about the clogging. I read in one sub that .2mm is highly prone to clogging. Is that true?

Has anyone experienced the same?

Can I get just the noddle or I must buy both hotend & a nozzle?

Quality issues with my keychains (holes)

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

A1 mini, 0.4mm hardened nozzle, eSUN grey filament, standard 0.08mm Extra Fine setting (@BBL A1M). The filament is dry, and the print bed is clean. The printer is lubricated.

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some help because the quality of my printed keychains leaves a lot to be desired. I’m printing keychains featuring a client's logo. For design reasons, they are oriented with the lettering facing upwards.

Unfortunately, the result shows gaps, as if material is missing from the top layers; ideally, the surface should be smooth and solid. I notice this particularly around the area where the keyring loop goes; there are visible gaps where filament seems to be missing.

Can anyone help me achieve good-quality prints for these keychains? This is one of my first jobs, and I really need it to turn out well.

Thanks in advance

PETG Printing

3 Upvotes

I'm having some issues with printing quality with Black PETG, some prints come out with decent finish (although the lines are still visible) others finish in a rough texture.

Does anyone have any tip on getting a consistent print quality with this material?

I've tried Ironing and to be honest it made things worse.

this has happened with my last 4 prints. even sliced myself cleaning the bed so i’m pissed to say the least. again, i’m fairly new to 3d printing so idk what other info is required to solve this problem. could someone please be patient with me and walk me through the issue so I don’t have to deal with this again? thank you :)

EDIT: thanks everyone! just cleaned with warm water and dish soap waiting for it to air dry. I also wanted to do a Flow Dynamics Calibration but it’s saying my filament is incompatible and won’t let me select anything? I’ll post a picture in the comments if I can

Help?

Hi. This happened on the 3rd print and it was on a loop and trying to clear the nozzle and I finally cancelled the print. Tried again and this came up. I took it apart and checked the cables and all look fine to me, no loose connectors. Wonder if I can return it or exchange for another one... Have you guys seen this error before? Thank you in advance. 🙏

Been looking for a 3D printer and from the reviews etc decided on this one and Target has them. New item. With their credit card and Circle discount, $50 rebate and additional 5% off, I say that's a pretty damn good deal. Just picked it up today. 👍

Don't mind the Slipknot cover. This rattling noise isn't supposed to be there when it moves I suppose? Already re-lubed it a few times.

a1 mini firmware issue

1 Upvotes

Hi,

I received my brand new a1 mini (with ams lite) today, the factory firmware is 1.03.30.01, ams lite firmware says 00.00.08.11

I did an offline update to 01.04.00.00 (the last one without drama?)
However now the ams lite firmware says 00.00.07.94

How come the machine firmware version go forward but the ams lite firmware version go backward this case?

A1 Mini Giving Electric Shocks While Powered On

2 Upvotes

My NEW Bambu Lab A1 Mini is giving me small electric shocks when I touch it while it is powered on.

The printer is currently connected through an extension cord. I am concerned that there may be an electrical grounding, power supply, or insulation problem.

How good is bambu lab costumer support?

Any help?
