A1 warping issues

Have you tried conventional supports? Tree supports do tend to be significantly weaker and less reliable.

With that geometry I’d say it’s less of a warping issue and more of an adhesion issue. I don’t think that’s enough plastic on the bed to warp, so this is likely an adhesion problem. Washing and cleaning was a good idea and may still have a place in correcting the problem. But if it isn’t just the hand oils on the plate, maybe your plate has something weird going on in that area (manufacturing oils or contaminants that aren’t coming off). To check, simply move the print to an area of the plate that looks to be sticking well.

If you stick with the tree supports, try what hashoom8 mentioned, use Tree Support Brim Width. 10mm seems like a lot but may help.

I’m a new A1 owner and I’ve noticed that the heat transfer from the heatbed to the build plate seems to be lacking. So much that even if the heatbed reports 65 degrees, the build plate can be around 60 degrees and if you print a small detail the fan from the extruder can cool the build plate around the printed detail to low 50s.

The temperature on the build plate can be all over the place, left side 50, right side 62 and so on. First I thought that there where something wrong with the heatbed so I printed again on the side that seemed to be warm. But then that side dropped in the temperature and former cold side became the warm side.
At the same time the heatbed still reports 65 degrees.

I believe this can be the cause of warping, the build plate cools down very easily. So much that small prints can come lose during printing.

I measure the temperature with an IR thermometer and if I do the same measurements on an Ender 3 S1 the temperature is vey solid all over the plate.
First fix seems to be, increase set temperature.

Hi, exact same problem here. I did try increasing the bed temperature to 70°C, then 75°C and then 80°C, but no dice, prints will still lift off of the bed.

Hi , im also experiencing same problems …but not on p1p same filament same model …also open printer same enviroment …but no warping / i will try lowering Z but was not expecting problems with newer printer

Same issue here, i think the Problem could be the cable from the Heatbed as Bambu lab said there could false measured Temperatures and also false Temperatures given from the motherboard to the heatbed

Of your Isolation is damaged

Hi, did anybody solve this problem? Have the same issue and nothing helps. Already set the heatbed temperature to 70 degree und the z-Position to 0.025.
Brims doesnt work too.

Hi, I also tested the temperature of the heatbed. I used a infrared thermometer and measured 50-55 degree, my printer said 65. I am going to test wether its warping with heatbed-temperature of 75-80 degree.

Probably, not sure yet, but the last two large prints, a while ago, didn’t have these issues anymore after some changes I’ve made.

At first, like 2-3 months ago, I had big problems with large objects having their corners lifting up. Some of them were curved at some point and made me think it might be the uneven heat distribution or something, not just adhesion.

First noticeable thing I’ve seen after a manual bed tramming (instructions here A1 Bed Tramming | Bambu Lab Wiki). The bed wasn’t leveled, the nozzle was hitting the bed in some part and there was a gap in another part when I did the manual leveling test (custom g-code on that wiki). This manual bed leveling solved a lot of issues.

Another thing I’ve noticed is that the textured plate doesn’t clean up so easily. I guess it depends on the filament and other things but there are small leftover particles you can still see on the plate after some regular wash. Really hot water and something more abrasive than a regular sponge, with soap, did wash it nicely. This was another improvement.

Then the last thing I did was to put aux fan to 0 in all my filament settings, also rising up the speed (to almost max) for the part fan cooling (not for all filaments but many). The rest is left to default… 65 for bed, 220 for regular pla, 225 for silk, and so far so good. This was the last change that made some improvements overall. Turning off AUX fan alone was more important, the rest is up for testing.

I also calibrated every filament I have (flow ratio, PA and volumetric speed, basically these 3 tests) using the tests from Orca) then saved in Bambu. These might be of no influence for the warping prints, but it did improve other things, like details in my prints.

There is no sure answer, you have to test everything. Even draft can affect your prints. I know it did for mine. Every time I opened a window, my prints had issues. So I guess I need to design some kind of enclosure to avoid any outside air currents or changes in temperature.

Hi,

I keep seeing references to the AUX fan settings for the A1 but as far as I can see the A1 does not have an auxiliary cooling fan, this is an option for enclosed printers unless I am mistaken and you could point out where it’s located on the A1, thanks.

With the AUX I think it’s a software issue (enabled and interfere with the others) because turning it down did help, although there is no specific part called AUX fan. Actually there is only one fan that you can control (unlike the other higher printers with enclosure fan), although there are 2 on the extruder unit (main fan in the back of your extruder unit and a smaller one on the side cooling the hot end/nozzle).

方案1:涂Bambu原厂的液体胶
方案2:切片后检查一下各层的风扇转速,然后在耗材设置里面吧对应的风扇转速调低一些(你发出的图片中,底部支撑的面积很小,而上部悬空的面积很大,风扇过大会导致上部悬空向上卷曲,从而把支撑从打印板上拉起)

Option 1: Apply Bambu’s original liquid adhesive
Option 2: After slicing, check the fan speed of each layer, and then lower the corresponding fan speed in the consumables settings (in the picture you sent out, the area of the bottom support is very small, while the area of the upper suspension is large. If the fan is too large, it will cause the upper suspension to curl up, thus pulling the support off the printing board)

I haven’t had any issues yet

disculpe puedes hacer impresiones grandes en tu plato y no se levantan?

si, pero baje un poco el Z en el gcode entonces uso un profile especial :slight_smile: (como sale arriba)
