Hello, I am having an issue that started happening at the end of a successful print. Upon successful completion; the printer seemed to slam into its home position pretty aggressively. From that point on the printer has been stuck in this loop where it goes from the Purging process, then slams into the front glass, then slamming back into the purging area, but slightly off and seemingly slamming into all the sides. Then Purging AGAIN, and before slamming back into the front again in a constant loop. It Deff sounds like its doing damage to itself.
I tried updating the firmare on the machine and the software on bambu studio to no avail. This happens when I send to print from Mobile or from my computer. Calibrations did not help either.
Any help would be appreciated.
Detailed description of the problem
Printer model used
Slicer settings used
Type of filament used
Photos that clearly show the problem
.3mf file (if the file can be shared)
Any potentially useful information that is related to the problem
I am currently having this same issue. It only happens when I print from orca slicer.
If I send the print but not start it, then go to my printer and manually start the print it will work fine. But sending from the slicer exhibits these purging/slamming the head loops.
Been searching for this issue and found this thread.
My P1S just started doing this, purging and then doing the usual moving then slamming to the back. Wondering if anyone found a solution before I reach out to support?
If you haven’t yet, maybe do a factory reset.
Dig around in the wiki. It has lots of good information. Often hardest part is knowing what term to use.
Always the option to put in a support ticket.
What error code or codes are you getting?
It was a Fried AP Board. After replacing it, that resolved my issue. I had a USB light, and bambu touch attached to it. I dont know if that was what fried it but I reattached everything and everything is fine now.
Connecting BIQU electronics to the BL electronics is a recipe for trouble.
Ditch the lights, ditch the touch.
Get a tablet, install Bambu Handy on the tablet and mount the tablet at the printer.
By going the tablet route you stay inside the BL ecosystem as BL is going to manage the firmware for the printer AND any software UI changes to Handy.
Bambu responded to my ticket and advised according to error logs my printer was flagging the front cover being de-attached.
Being sent a new front housing assembly to see if this fixes the issue. It’s odd because i’ve never received any front housing de-attached errors on the machine!
I also tried to factory my printer no difference at all. When I print old projects, i don’t have this issue. But with the new ones it’s always the case.
I don’t really know when it happened, but I remember that i got the same error as Phteven, it told me that the front cover was off (even if it was on)…
Does seem like a rare but also somewhat circulating issue with a few people, but I haven’t seen any consistent solutions. Someone said disconnecting their AMS and printing normally, then switching back fixes it, but didn’t for me. It’s very odd and I haven’t pinpointed what my cause is yet!
This starting happening to me last night after a successful print. Have calibrated several times, checked for obstrucions,etc. Also gives a loud clunk when moving forward from its purge position. Have taken the AMS off and calibrating again, and will try a print from external
