First Layer is too low i think

Bambu Lab A1 Series
1

Hello everyone I have been using the Bambulab A1 with AMS lite for 2 weeks now. In the beginning everything was perfect I could print PLA and PETG without any problems. A few days ago the first layer stopped working properly and I am no longer successful. In my opinion, the first layer is much too close and is therefore rubbed onto the plate. I have already done “A1 Bed Tramming” as described in the wiki but it has not improved. Does anyone else have an idea of what is going wrong here? Software and firmware are up to date. I’ve already cleaned the disk with isopropanol, but that didn’t help either.

Is your first layer still set at the default height? Have you changed your z-offset in gcode? Have you been putting anything like glue on the plate?

If not maybe the hot end has loose screws. Either the 3 mounting screws or the screws on the backside of the hotend heating assembly.

Edit: I can see in the video your extruder is clicking. Either there is not enough room between the hotend and the plate to extrude to the point that the extruder is clicking, maybe you have a smaller nozzle selected than you have installed or maybe you have some kind of partial clog?

I want to thank you…. After a week of pulling my hair your trouble shooting helped me figure out our clicking and poor first layer headache….

Turned out 2 screws had come out completely and were in the little shelf on the bottom and one more stew was almost out….

Thanks a ton
