AMS lite with A1 Mini not changing colors

[Rosfairy]

Hello everyone,

I hope I have not overlooked a solution in my search in the forum, if I have I apologise for the double posting.

I have an A1 Mini Combo and wanted to try multicolour printing for the first time today.

I have experience with the ‘normal’ AMS (I have been using the P1S and X1C with AMS for a long time), but not yet with the lite and I am currently despairing.

Problem: It just doesn’t change colours.

I tried it with original Bambu filament, first with a model, then with a cylinder for testing, because I thought it might be due to the model. The result is always the same: the print runs to the end, everything is printed, but only in one colour.

In the slicer (current version) there is no longer an option to select the AMS, but it is displayed and used according to the slicer.

What is strange is that the green is in A1, the red in A3 and the slicer always shows that A2 (is empty) is used for the AMS (screenshot added)

As you can see the slicer shows a red and a green cylinder, the prints are both green…

Any ideas what else I can try or what could be the reason for this?

Many thanks in advance and best regards,

Rose

I have the same problem. A1 mini AMS lite. It doesn’t print in color after the update.

If the only change between things working and not working was a software or firmware update, I would recommend reverting to the previous version.

Many bugs are being reported in the latest 2.x version of Studio. I’m personally still running the 1.x version and plan to hold off upgrading until I see things stabilize in 2.x.

Hello again,

I have now been able to narrow down the problem further:

If you assign a colour to an object in the pull-down menu, i.e. in this one:

… then it works and the AMS lite changes the colours.

If you use the “color painting” tool, i.e. like this:

then it doesn’t, the printer simply continues printing in the first color, even if the colors are specified correctly.

Maybe anyone can use this information to have an idea how to fix the problem?

Reverting would be an option to print until the bug is fixed, thank you for this idea

Post this under the category bug-report, that way BBL will see it and hopefully fix it
