Hello, I am not new to 3D printing, but new to Bambu. My A1 was performing great, the best thing to happen to 3D printing, then I enabled the AI detection in the print settings. Since that time, I have only gotten 2 prints to finish out of 10. even the simple cable management print to stop that pr…

I don’t think @Quietman is trying to do 0.08 first layer but I may be wrong. Also I saw on a facebook group that someone was having first layer nozzle dragging issues and it ended up being the four screws on the backside of the hotend heating assembly were loose [422910705_10231860043993870_78201…

A big thank you to you @JonRaymond , you were right. I cleaned the plate with dish soap and I no longer have any problem. For info i used isopropyl because i have a resin printer in the same room and for me it was a good solution…

My part snaps at the top every time. I am thinking it might be the textured bed. I ran the same part on my Prusa with a textured bed it snapped too. I ran it on my Prusa mini with a smooth bed and it worked perfect. Could this be the issue? Firmware 01.01.01.00 (latest update)

I have a thread I started with how to care for the gold textured plates. [image] Gold textured PEI plate maintenance recommendations Bambu Filament and Accesories Annnnd . . . You are eventually going to have to clean the residue off the plate. So you still need to clean …

About the problem with the nozzle scratching the printed infill as mentioned earlier in the thread, I found a possibe solution. Unchecking the “reduce infill retraction” checkmark in the “others” tab makes the nozzle hop over the printed infill (presumed “hop when retracting” is on) when it’s for e…

He is correct, IPA helps increase time between washing with soap and water, but a true washing is needed every so often.

It’s interesting that @SupportAssistant actually recommend not using IPA. [image] Bambu Lab A1 adhesion issues - none of the usual tricks worked Please AVOID using any cleaning solutions like IPA after you have washed the plate. Also ensure that you do not touch the surface after washing it. …

Interesting on the no IPA, guess I will stop doing that. Thanx for the update.

If I’ve learned anything in my 3d printing journey, do what works for you. There are lots of conflicting opinions online of what works and doesn’t work.

I have had my A1 for almost 2 weeks and started having issues today with the nozzle dragging on prints. I haven’t changed anything and have printed a dozen great prints before this issue started today. I’m on the latest firmware using the 0.4 nozzle. I had the nozzle drag on both items I printed …

I have the same issue. 80% of my prints fails because the nozzle hits the print. I changed the infill pattern, the filament brand, temperature, fan speed, recalibrating the machine. Turning off the automatic flow compensation. Calibrating the flow and pressure advance manually and still hitting the …
