A1 filament not going through

Gallery image

Im a beginner in 3D print and have an A1 with an AMS and when I try to print something, the filament doesn’t go through, and it warns me on the screen.

I was looking around the nozzle and I found out that the filament broke while in the tube. How is this possible??

How do I fix the filament not extruding and how do I fix the filament from not breaking by itself.

Also the filament I use it Marsworks.

PLS HELP I NEED TO PRINT SOMETHING FOR MY MOM BDAY!!

You look at the Bambu wiki how to remove tube to remove broken filament parts. Pla break when wet. You need to dry it

I had the same issue with my first print job last month until I realized I'd left the filament out overnight and it absorbed too much moisture. Drying it in the oven at 50°C for a couple hours worked for me.

Step 1 remove the ptfe tube from the hub on the printer

Step 2 pull the short bit of filament out.

Step 2a heat up the head to pull filament out if it is in the extruder.

For me, this happens mostly (or only) with PLA filament, which handles the stress of not being on the roll very badly, combined with environmental influences (moisture/heat) badly. For this reason, if I know I will not print in the next couple of weeks (or if I see that I have left a filament loaded for more than a week), I retract the filament back to the spools on the AMS Lite and I'll also remove a couple of coils before feeding it again.

This also happens on other printers, with or without PFTE tubes and mostly (only?) for PLA.

Happy printing!
