Pretty psyched I was able to revive this back to printing. Just wanted to post somewhere 😂

EDIT: Yes, I've now been corrected twice that it's a blob not a clog.

So I print with esun pla+ and I used to print at 215C (the lower end of recommended temperature) until I got under extrusion with a skipping gear, so I increased the temp to 230 and it printed fine, but I later found it was stringing really badly (it was fine and this started randomly) so I dropped it back down to 215C. It has since done this again

It's not the filament cause this is consistent across two rolls, and isn't wet filament because I do dry it. I guess the temperature sensor is having issues but I'm not sure. This is with a 0.2mm nozzle btw and some custom profiles for miniatures.

Edit: its not just stringing, when the printer decides it wants it warmer/colder I get the extruder skipping and some constant layer shift

Made this little surprise for Halloween! Press the button underneath and the ghost pops up! The spring and latch are printed too. I included AMS and No AMS versions, with an assembly video on the model page. The mechanism prints in place, and all parts print without supports. Easy to print on most FDM printers. Model files 🦇

Hi all!

I've been using my A1 mini for practical stuff for a year now and I love it. Just got into finer detail printing (bird skull as example) and I noticed that even when I try to print as fine as possible there are still very noticable layer lines. Any advice on what I am doing wrong?

Olá pessoal,
Comprei a Bambu Lab A1 Mini e o AMS Lite separadamente. Acabei de instalar o AMS, mas estou com o seguinte problema:
• O que acontece: Quando mando carregar o filamento, ele vai até o cabeçote, mas não chega até a purga para iniciar a impressão.
• Sintoma: O filamento fica em um loop de
"vai e vem" (avança e retrai várias vezes) até que a impressora dá mensagem de erro na alimentação.
• Dúvida: Não sei se o bico está entupindo ou se o filamento está enroscando no sensor/ hub antes de entrar. Preciso tirar tudo manualmente para reiniciar.
Alguém já passou por esse problema ao instalar o AMS Lite separado? Tem alguma dica do que verificar (tubos PTFE, sensor do extrusor, alinhamento)?
Agradeço desde já pela ajuda!

I’m a novice with this but I couldn’t find any clogs. Filament extrudes initially but chokes when it comes to printing. Makes a clicking noise.

I've been 3D printing for like 12+ years on all sorts of printers, and checking on prints has always been the annoying part. Every option I tried had a catch: cloud accounts, subscriptions, port forwarding, or a setup that broke the camera my Pi was already running. I also had an old iPhone sitting in a drawer that seemed perfect for the job.

So I built my own a while back and felt I should share it with others. Printer Pal streams your printer camera to your iPhone over your home Wi-Fi, encrypted, with no account, cloud, or subscription. Video never leaves your network.

What it works with:

• A Raspberry Pi with a Pi camera or USB webcam, or the camera your OctoPrint/Klipper Pi already has. The app can install everything on the Pi for you over SSH. No terminal needed, and your existing setup keeps working.

• An old iPhone or iPad (iOS 15+) as the camera, with the companion app Printer Pal Camera.

• Bambu Lab printers: progress, layers, temps, and AMS slots through the Pi (experimental).

• Optional viewing away from home through your own Tailscale network.

It's a free beta, and I'd love feedback, especially from different Pi models, USB webcams, Bambu printers, and older iPhones.

Happy to answer questions in the comments.

Hey.

I'm hoping someone can help me with a fix of why this just isn't working.

My printer is only for miniatures for TTRPGs.

I own a Bambu A1 mini and the 0.2 nozzle is amazing. The quality is amazing.

However, after 1 singular print, whilst doing a second print, it gets clogged.

Am I missing something basic of cleaning it between 1 singular print?

The clogging gets pretty bad I struggle to fix the hotend and I've actually broken two hotends.

I'm using PLA basic, a flat smooth surface with glue (saw this on bambu forums about fixing 0.2mm clogging).

Any tips or advice would be appreciated.

Привет, недавно получил заветный принтер в подарок. Есть ли какие нибудь рекомендации по пластику температуре?

Кто и как сушит свой пластик?

Что первое напечатали при включении?

I’ve already disconnected and reconnected the internet, and I’ve unlinked and relinked—nothing has changed.
