thank you for posting this. I am new to this and thought I was not setting something correctly.
A1 mini — false “confirm extrusion” prompt at every print start cost me money in unnecessary parts. Firmware regression.
Firmware: [version]
Setup: A1 mini, external spool, no AMS Lite, single color.
Since a recent firmware update, every print pauses at the start asking me to confirm whether filament was extruded (“Filament extruded, continue” / “Not extruded, retry”), as if filament had just been loaded — even though it is already loaded and printing fine. The prompt reliably comes back after the printer has been powered off for a few hours.
Here is the part that needs to be heard: this misleading prompt presents as an extrusion fault, so I treated it as one. Over several weeks I bought and replaced the nozzle, a complete hotend, and the heating block trying to make it stop — real money spent on hardware that was never the problem. The prompt persisted through every single part, including fully OEM components. It is firmware.
A prompt that mimics a hardware failure, with no way to disable it without also losing pre-print checks I paid for, is actively pushing users to buy replacement parts they do not need. That is not acceptable for a regression introduced by an update.
Please confirm this and fix the filament-state tracking across power cycles in an upcoming release. I can provide logs or video.
Where do you go to roll back the firmware? I was looking, but did not see it in the settings. Is this through the printer display itself or from Bambu Studio?
If you have Bambu Handy then you go to Devices –> [the printer you wish to downgrade] –> Firmware –> I want to update to a previous version –> [choose version you want, I did 1.08.00 and then went back to 1.08.01]
If you don’t have Bambu Handy then you can go to Bambu’s wiki and find your printer, then find the firmware files, put them on SD card, then plug that SD card into your printer.
(I don’t know how the SD card method works really, because I never used it)
Total BS indeed, we don’t need to check correct extrusion as it was working yesterday 
I guess I’ll have to write and complain so they can feel some heat. Everyone here should complain or we’ll be stuck with this..
