New to the Bambu family but have a number of years under my belt with FDM. I got my X1C the other day and so far I am very impressed with this machines capability so far. Threw a 17hr (on my previous printer) print job, done in 6hr 38 mins! Now that’s what I’m talkin about! But now something str…

That’s a normal part of the process, it’s how they remove any debris from the nozzle tip before the bed levelling process. It’s explained in the Wiki if you take a look.

Looks like the plate was designed for this contact force with a slot to permit deflections.

Edit: Adding firmware version numbers for clarity BAM Studio: V 1.6.2.4 X1: 01.05.02.00 AMS: 00.00.06.32 Thank you for the replies folks. I should add that this nozzle contact did not happen on the ‘Cool Plate’ side when I printed up some PLA samples. I am currently running a new bed level and…

From what i can see from the first picture. You didnt pick flow calibration. All the normal flow calibration lines are absent on the build plate.

Hi Barry, Yes I purposely turned it off in order to print a spare spool as I could not fit the model onto the plate without running into those lines. From what I read in the wiki, the flow calibration routine isn’t “usually” necessary to perform. I did have it perform this calibration once for PL…

I myself run the calibration if i change colors with same base filament. I have eight different colors of ABS in two AMSs. Digging into the build plate is normal. It is part of cleaning the nozzle. Its been well documented here in this forum.

Hi Barry, Bear with this noob, I haven’t had the time to read through the many threads here so I hadn’t seen the references to this digging/gouging. Glad that it is a ‘normal’ function for this printer. Many thanks for your replies!

Okay so a follow up to the most recent print attempt…enabled Bed leveling and Flow Calibration. The nozzle temperature started at 255 for the cleaning step and dropped off to around 140ºC for the actual bed leveling process. It was during this cool-down that the nozzle developed a slight ooze…which…

Bed leveling completed, then the flow calibration routine started and all hell broke loose…see pics. [6_flow_calibration_1] [7_flow_calibration_2] [8_error_detected] [9_print_fail] [10_post_fail_visual]
