After replacing the hot end, heating block (did I get that name right?), and the filament sensor It would home if I calibrated through the options menu or if I hit the home button in Bambu Handy app, but when it would try to home before a print it would fail with a z axis error.
I looked all over the net to try to find solutions and finally found someone who suggested I loosen the two screws in the back of the tool head that hold the two wires down. Suddenly, I can home it but now it scrapes the print plate when it starts a print.
Any suggestions folks? I bought this January 21st and am toying with returning it out of frustration. I really liked the way it USED TO WORK and would love to get there again.
Yeah this is driving me crazy. My hot end seems to be just slamming against the build plate too hard on calibration and then I just get failed x axis homing, or when I try to print I get a failed bed levelling. I’ve tried all these things.
I got my nephew an A1 and was trying to debug this issue over the phone. He couldn’t update the firmware and when he tried to home the head it wouldn’t lower on the z-axis.
I got him to reseat the USB C connection on the head and check the connections on the bottom and it resolved the issue. If I didn’t see this post I’d be trying to contact Bambu Lab on behalf of my nephew or trying to RMA. So this saved me a ton of headache.
I got my bambu A1 mini back in october, I’ve done several prints without much issue. And then today I got “Z-Axis homing failed” So now I’m scrambling to figure out what exactly is going on to fix it. 5-6 months with no problems and now this, hmmm.
I solve this problem by removing small particle of filament from the end of the Y rail. Y was stoped earlier and nozzle “fall” to the hall of the plate
I keep running into the same issue with a Z axis homing failed error. It seems random though and I haven’t been able to find a fix for it. When starting a new print, sometimes it will moves all the way to the top and stops and throws the error. My (irritating) solution so far has been to just cancel the print, push it back down about half way, and restart the print. The next time it homes correctly and prints fine. I haven’t noticed anything particular that causes it though. It hasn’t done it in a few weeks but just did it now.
en mi caso me paso al colocarle una boquilla 0.6 . Le cambie la boquilla a la clasica 0.4 y volvio la normalidad. La verdad no se que puede haber ocurrido pero volvere a tratar de usar la 0.6
Hi, for anyone who is having the same issue can cannot resolve the problems with the steps given in this post or other posts, I have something for you to try.
I bought my printer in February this year, and after one month of using it, it started to have the Z-Axis homing failure. Although I have already tried searching on the internet on how to solve it, some of the method works, but the problem will come back very soon, and the methods before this cannot help anymore.
However, recently I tried a method that works! So my solution was to simply flip the heat bed and print using another side of the heat bed, also need to turn on the Auto Bed levelling when you send the files for print. So every time I encounter this issue, I will do this then I will be able to proceed.
You can try this method and let me know if it works for you.
Hope this can help.
I just had the same problem. I checked several of the solutions proposed here on this forum and nothing seemed to solve it. Until I repositioned the textured PEI Plate to fit better, and it just worked. The board was millimeters out of place, I spent the whole morning looking for a solution, and when I fixed it, it worked, haha. At least it was easy to solve.
I had the same issue and I couldn’t figure it out checked bed and z axes moved head everything but after few hours I decided to try again and realized that one of tubes that I used for tpu was starched as soon as I loosened it, it works perfect now
Z axis will not home.
Seems like a common problem. I will return it. I have an X1E 600 hours no problems. My question is : Why not test it before shipping it.
Tive o mesmo problema hoje ao troca ela de lugar. parecia a mesma mensagem de erro. Eu fui em conf. e cliquei HOME mas não abaixa até a mesa…Apartir dai fiz varias coisas. Soltei o parafuso do usb e para ver se estava mal encaixado ,mas aparentemente não. depois girando o parafuso que fica abaixo da impressora ligado a uma correia dentado no eixo x , fui girando até ficar mais baixo que a mesa (deixei a extratora de lado na mesa). depois disso voltei a deixar ela em pé e cliquei Home e voltou a funcionar…é verdade que apertei varios parafusos e lubrifiquei o eixo X antes de tudo isso e tambem lavei a mesa pra garatir que não tinha sujeira e tambem abri aquela tampa abaixo da mesa para ver se havia alguma sujeira…tambem vi que o cabo do eixo x que fica encaixado junto com os filamentos que vem do AMS estava muito curto, por iso puxei aquele engate um pouco mais para baixo. fiz só isso, mas aqui funcionou…bom algumas dessas coisas ajudou
It was the USB-C cable for me. Yes the first page of the manual says to remove the 2 shipping jigs on the Z-axis rail but they could do a better job of calling them out. The skipping sound when you power it up for the first time and try to calibrate, along with the infamous z-axis homing failed really throws you off. But if the unit keeps going up and not homing, tilt the unit, loosen the USB-C unit and use pliers to make sure it’s in, even if it looks like it’s in, then retighten. That did it for me.
