Bambu Lab A1 adhesion issues - none of the usual tricks worked

Hello,

Based on the information you have shared, it sounds like the PEI Textured plate might be dirty. Please remove the plate and follow these steps:

  1. Wash the plate with hot water and detergent. When you do this, ensure that you are using detergent that does not contain any moisturiser or oil. The main focus of this operation is to de-grease the surface
  2. Wipe the plate with a clean lint-free towel
  3. Place the plate back on the printer, and perform a full calibration.
  4. Start a new print, and ensure you have selected the Textured PEI Plate in Bambu Studio.
  5. (optional) - Increase the heatbed temperature with 10C if the environment temperature is low, and ensure there are no drafts of air next to the printer.

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.

This procedure should help you solve the adhesion problem. We also have a Wiki article available to guide you with more information:
