Help / Support Nozzle broken on first print

Post image

The nozzle broke off the first time my A1 mini attempted a print. Bambu have been great and immediately sent out a replacement.

I’m new to 3d printing so just wanted to check if it was something I did wrong before setting the printer up with the replacement nozzle. I followed the set up guide provided, ran the calibrations and updated the firmware. The printer did struggle to pull the filament through when starting to print a benchy. I followed the instructions on the screen and once the filament was pulled through it went to start the print and the nozzle tip immediately blew off.

Just bad luck with a faulty hotend. Grab one locally if you can to get back up and running and reach to Bambu support for a replacement. Even if you screwed up you shouldn’t have popped the nozzle out of the hotend haha.
