Hello, I can only calibrate the cool plate with the high temperature plate and I get this error message with the Pei plate.
I can calibrate all plates as Coolplate but not this specific one. Can you help me?
Im use only Bambu Plates!

Hi.
My German is not the best, but if understood, you have an error on the force sensor C of the heat bed.
To try to help, can you specify the following:
- Which plate gives an error, the cold or the high temperature? And is it in proper condition
- On the faulty plate (cold or HT), does the issue also occur in the Engineering Plate?
- Which calibration procedure are you referring to (printer or filament)? And at which moment of the calibration procedure did you get this error?

Hello
I can only print with the Cool Plate. The high temperature and the Pei plate bring these calibration errors before printing. In the second row of scanning. An extra calibration works with all plates. The plates are new.
But if I select the cool plate and switch off the plate recognition, the calibration works with all plates even before printing.
Hello,
Thank you for the information.
I imagine it is boring to answer so many questions, but sharing details is crucial to address the issue.
If I understood correctly, your issue is with a new printer.
If so, please confirm:
- You updated the printer firmware to the latest version: 01.06.01.00
- Afterwards, you carried out the complete printer calibration;
- Following, you printed one of the built-in sliced models (e.g., fast benchy, Scraper, etc.) using both Bambu Lab’s official PLA filament and the cold plate, which worked flawlessly.
After completing the printer setup, you sliced a model in Bambu Studio, version 1.7.3.50, choosing either the high temperature or the PEI texture as Plate Type. This sliced model outcome in print failure during the machine start-up, specifically during the print of the second line of the filament calibration.
Is this correct, or am I missing details or misinterpreting your issue?

Hello,
I bought the printer on 07/27/2023.
I have the current firmware and the current Bambu Studio.
I can print anything with the cold plate. But if I want to use the high temperature or the Pei plate, I get this error message during the print bed calibration, which is carried out before printing. Calibration and self-test of the printer works ok. I use Bambulab Matte PLA
As I undertood,the PEI plates will always fail during lidar measuring…you should just ignore the error and it should work…at least what I was told…
The error does not come with the lidar measurement but when scanning the bed with the nozzle. If I select the PEI plate in the Bambu Studio, it switches the lidar measurement off.
This issue is breaking my head.
Is it recent, or have you never used the high-temperature plate?
Did you try the high-temperature plate reverse side, i.e. Engineering plate?
Before intensive debugging, disconnect power for a few seconds and restart; use one of the faulty plates and run the HMS self-test tool. Carry out the procedure for each plate and check for any errors.
If nothing solves or results in new info, it is better to assess the problem individually to check if we’re missing critical details.
- The HMS info alerts about detecting an external disturbance during the force sensor testing, correct?
- According to the official troubleshooting (ttps://wiki.bambulab.com/en/x1/troubleshooting/hmscode/0300_0A00_0001_0004), the issue is related to stuck z-axis, excessive vibrations, unstable position or faulty cable.
- According to your description, it occurs during the measuring of the force sensor sensitivity when it starts vibrating (correct?); which indicates excessive vibration from the surrounding;
- What is confusing is the occurrence depending on the plate type. Looking at your plates, except for the unclean high temperature, they are in mint condition.
- You know your printer better, so you may identify if any possibilities suit your case.
- If not, download the logs, and fill a trouble ticket.
What I would do while waiting for the answer (at my own risk):
7. I would reset the printer to the factory settings and repeat the setup and calibration procedure.
8. At the hardware level, I would order one new bed cable and one force sensor and test one at a time to see if they are faulty. If so, you have your printer functional, and afterwards, BL will send you a new sensor and/or cable that can be helpful in the future. If not, you improve the spare parts. Note that you need to be comfortable with the replacement procedures.
EDIT: remember one difference with bed plates, the temperature. A time ago, a user was referring to the degradation of the force sensors’ performance at higher temperatures. But it wasn’t a new printer.

Hello, I think I found the problem.
The distance to the back wall was too small.
With the Cool Plate at 35 degrees, it probably still worked, but with 55 on the Hot Plate and the Pei, it was probably too narrow. Thermal expansion. This page brought me to the solution.
Homing Z axis failed - Heatbed and excess chute interfered | Bambu Lab Wiki. I hope it works now. Best regards from Germany.
Good to hear that you have a solution … nevertheless, note that I typically print with bed temperatures around 90 and for long hours, and I never had any issue with the sheet thermal expansion.
I am very thorough with sheet alignment, almost paranoic, and after a long time doing this, I rarely get it right on the first attempt. I align the back end of the plate and both sides using the built-in alignment markers in the bed. Then carefully start losing the plate, which sticks slowly to the bed from back to front, while controlling the alignment of the sides by eye.
If all goes right, I do a final checkup, i.e. slightly slide through the bed sideboards to check if the plate is “symmetric” in both x and y.

It was probably not about the alignment of the printing plate but about the alignment of the entire print bed.
Sorry im use Google
