A1 AMS Lite Filament misaligned and not feeding into the nozzle

Bambu Lab A Series Troubleshooting
1

Hi everyone,

I am having an issue where the filament does not extrude straight. There is a slight offset/misalignment, which prevents it from entering the nozzle properly.

  • The nozzle is clean and thoroughly maintained.

  • When I manually push the filament into the nozzle, it works and extrudes, but it doesn’t feed automatically on its own.

A few questions:

  1. Should I disassemble the extruder? I recently printed with PETG-CF, so there might be debris or wear inside.

  2. Should I print/design a custom guide part using the two screw holes to help align and guide the filament?

Thanks a lot for your help!
