So my problems started today when the printer was saying the AMS slot 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 (all 4) filaments were tangled or stuck (trying all of them and same problem) I thought the AMS was at fault first but it wasn’t as I removed the AMS and run via the free standing single spool which you use if you do not have an AMS system. Same problem.
If I manually heat the nozzle to 250 and then extrude over 30 times using the touchscreen it is feeding fine. So the filament is feeding manually… but it seems the automation will not run the extrusion. Can you help me?
I have tried to clean the nozzle using my cleaning tool, that didn’t fix it, I then removed the 0.4mm nozzle and installed the 0.2mm nozzle I also ordered, same problem so it is not the nozzle being clogged.
I took the front of the head apart, and checked the yellow gear is going round which is it, I have removed and reinstalled the cutting tool to ensure it is cutting and it is fine. I have removed the 4 nozzle intake module at the top of the print head and cleaned it and reinstalled it, and still the same problem. I cannot get this fixed at all.
I set the hot end to 250 degrees manually and extruded the filament on its own and it is working fine doing it manually. But it seems when the printer is automating it it gives the error every time now which is “Failed to extrude the filament. This might be caused by clogged extruder or stuck filamant. Refer to the Assistant for a solution [1200-8007 110331]”
What could be the problem? I’ve only had the printer a few days. I feel really disappointed with this, I was excited to get into the world of 3D printing and now I’ve left with a printer that I have spent over 6 hrs today trying to resolve and wasted a load of filament trying to fix it. I have extruded a good few hundred grams of filament manually tryingt o get this working and have not been able to fix it. You can see in one of my photos I have mounted the seperate spool holder and not using the AMS to ensure its not the AMS causing the problems, and it is not.
Can I return the printer for a replacement? It is only 4 days since I took delivery for it from bambulabs UK site. (note the printer was fine the first 2 days of using it)
This is the error I’m getting.
But when I manually fed the filament in, and then set the hot end manually to 250 and just used the extruder insert button on the printer it shows its not clogged, and can take the filament etc. I don’t know what else to try?
Full disclosure: I do not have an AMS so I dont know if this will make sense.
Can you Manually feed filament through the individual PTFE tubes?
Will it feed without the PTFE tubes?
Does the AMS feed the filament to the print head?
Will it extrude from the single (external) spool?
Does it make a difference if you plug the AMS into the other port?

Thet appear to be communication errors most of the time , but a simple fix is to make sure you have the correct ptfe tubes in the correct positions , as you wil notice they are cut to length for the ams being used in its correct position

as per the A1 manual that comes with the printer
Same problem here. I can manually do it, and I can even get prints to do a few layers but then it fails, air prints, doesn’t alarm, and ive used 3 diff filaments. Diff prints. Taken it all apart etc
While the tubes are different lengths, it’s hard to use the wrong ones from the AMS to the printer. But as far as which hole to put them in on the extruder, it does not matter. It’s just a 4 into one port.
I have the same problem. My A1 is new and has not yet printed once. I go through all of the calibrations and select an item to print on the attached micro card and it goes through all the setup motions, but the last thing it does is go over to the cutter and cuts the filament then moves back over to the pooper and throws the ‘Filament jammed…’ error. This is in the non AMS mode and I have only one filament loaded. All AMS functions are unchecked. Can’t get past this situation.
Hi there, any solution guys? Yesterday I encountered the same problem with my brand new A1 mini, it just stopped at 44% and is no longer printing and when attempting to pull the filament it makes a weird noise … I’m getting the same error 1200-8007. Took apart some of the parts and nothing clogged, I’m able to do it manually and this it where it ends…I was so exited when it arrived last week - but now it gives me headaches
I have had my A1 printer for a couple of months now and I have 251 hours of printing time. I just printed with PETG for the 1st time on a 48 hour print. Once the print finished…this exact problem started. I did all of the checks that AceModder did and I have not gotten the problem resolved as of yet. I just ordered a new Filament Runout Sensor. I will replace the sensor and try again. I’ll be sure to update everyone as to the outcome of the changeout.
After that, my next step will be to put in a Support Ticket for more direction.
Also, can anyone help me out…when this problem started I came to these forums, but I am not allowed to post my own topic…what steps must I do or complete in order to unlock that ability?
And just as a comparison, my P1s has 967 printing hours and has NEVER had a single problem. Only failed prints were due to me adjusting nozzle temps for PETG.
Can’t add new filament settings for my A1 mini in Bambu Software.
When I want to add a new filament by hand it doesn’t let me select a profile the new one should be based on from the drop down menu. Then I imported filament settings from the manufacturer website (Overture) but they don’t offer the ASA filament settings for the A1 mini, but just for the P1S and X1C. When I try to add a printer profile for the ASA filament settings, I can’t select a printer from the drop down menu.
OK, so I found a solution.
Apparently the software really doesn’t let you chose ASA in the filament settings for an A1 mini from the drop down lists. Doesnt’ matter if you try to create one from scratch or try to add the printing profile for the A1 mini to a P1S ASA setting.
The workaround was to fiddle with the json file from Overture. I added A1 mini in the compatible printers section and voila I could import the json file for the A1 mini.
