Need some help, p1s 1150 hrs
Cleaned Plate (dish soap, alcohol)
Replaced the Hot end Assembly x2
Disassembled and Inspected the extruder (clean)
All tubing is secure
Powered on and off the printer
Restarted the slicer and computer running it.
Using Bambuu filament and settings Bambu PLA Matt, Bambu Petg Translucent and Esun Basic all with variations like the above
Room is kept below 40% humidity at around 70 farenheit.
Running all calibrations Calibration (second time)
Software and Firmware is up to date
Been troubleshooting this for 5 hours and at a total loss
Have you tried increasing the nozzle temperature temporarily—say, above 260°C—and letting it heat soak for about five minutes? Then use the slicer or control panel to extrude filament until it flows smoothly.
How are you drying your filament? Also be sure that the correct bed is selected in Bambu studio as the P series doesn’t check to make sure it is the right one.
Hi, I am not drying it but my print room is climate controlled and never gets above 40% and the filament I am printing with has been unsealed in the room for over a month? I doubt that is causing the problem, do you really think it is. All the filament companies are pushing those dryers but…
If you’ve already done a cold pull, you’re quickly running out of options before needing to consider replacing components.
One last thing to check is the PTFE path. Here’s a quick test: remove the existing PTFE tube entirely and replace it with a short temporary one. Cut a 1-meter length of filament and feed it directly into the toolhead using a 100mm section of PTFE tubing. This bypasses the full tube path and isolates the last possible point of failure affecting extrusion. If that works, they replace the entire PTFE tube path. I’m assuming you already checked that but it’s the last thing I can think of.
If that still doesn’t work, I’d strongly consider replacing the extruder gear assembly first, followed by the nozzle assembly.
BTW: The upgrade bundle includes both components if you want to just take the plunge:
It’s not a bad idea to have spares of these two components on hand anyway as they are items that are subject to wear and eventually you will need to replace them anyway.
