Print stops middle Air but the nozzle keep moving

I having the same issue in several diferent Stl files.

Tha printing stars fine and after 30 minutes or so the filament stops extruding and the printing head continue to move like It still printing.

i am using an A1 with AMS. I am using the original 0.04mm nozzle and I am trying to print in a 0.08 layer heigh. I have tried with clogging detection On and off.

I have already installed a New MicroSD and lowered the temperature since I was already using the filament Max temp (220C).

usually that indicates a clog or a tangle. I know the A1 has tangle detection, I assume you have it on.

Thats a lot of stringing. Do you have the proper settings for the filaments, or is it wet? The can cause clogs and cause what you describe. Usually you’ll know you have a clog because you have to clear it. Hopefully others can give you a better idea. I’d start with those though.

That looks like a per-supported model to me, like for resin printing.
Those supports rarely work on filament printers.
My guess is all this is support related.

I thought about that, I remember supports looking something like that. Just didn’t think…

I tried lower printing temp (started with 220C and now It is 205C) but I am still having issues. The filament isn’t wet, but I am using It for a week now. I Will try leaving It on a dryer for few hours.

The issue looks like someking of clog but when I cancel the failed print and start It again It works wine (without the need to ‘unclog’ It).

I have tried both pre-supported and support free (auto generated tree support). Do you think pre-support files would cause the print to stop midair?

I forgot to say, but I haver capped the printing speed até 150mm/e as recommended by the filament manufacturer

Can you provide a link to the model you are trying to print.

It has been pointed out it looks like you have tried to print a model designed to be printed by a resin printer and NOT an FDM printer. Your A1 is FDM.

The technologies are very different and a model created to be printed with a resin printer will likely fail on an FDM printer.

Your prints appear to have significant stringing. Something I haven’t seen so bad in years and never on a Bambu printer.

What filament are you using, include the manufacturer, the type, the sub-type and colour. Are you using a filament with infused material, for example wood pulp?

Example

eSun PLA+ Red> eSun/PLA/+/Red
Bambu Lab PETG HF Green > Bambu Lab/PETG/HF/Green

You don’t need to show the examples on the right. I’m using those as examples of manufacturer, the type, the sub-type and colour.

The filament is PLA from a Brazillian manufacturer called GTMAX 3D. It is a PLA Plus brown, with no infused material. The Datasheet is in portuguese but the only information are bed temp (0 to 60C), nozzle temp (190 to 220C) and max speed 150mm/s.

Still need this.

Have you tried the genetic profile for PLA?

Does the filament work with one of the files on the SC Card, the Benchy for example?

the STL files are too big to upload. Is there other way to share it? The link from the designer is this: https://c27-studios.com/product/mutant-killerbot-2/

I tried again last night using a non supported file and sellecting auto suport tree option in the Bambu Lab Studio. Again, a mess:

BTW: The ,model was attached to the bed. Atl least it’s feets were.


I open a new roll of the same filament (Same brand, specs and color) and printed the Benchy:

It still shows some stringing so I think I still can lower the temp a little.

Big Edit.
I see they have fdm settings but I’m still not sure they didn’t take resin files and try to adopt them over to FDM

Could you convert the stl files to a basic 3mf then add your own settings ?

Yes, strings & looks kinda melted, your too hot.
Try 210* or 215*.
Also, go back to the default settings & change just the temp, leave everything else alone.

Miniatures are hard to print till you get the hang of it. Also, depending on the file, you might have to use a .02 nozzle. So not something to start with.

Try some normal models until you get used to how things work.
If you will, try printing one of these model. This way have should have completed results & have a print to look at.

This has my own profile uploaded, so it should work without changing anything.

Converting STL files designed for resin printing to be used with FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) printers is definitely possible, but there are a few key considerations to keep in mind:

  1. Supports: Resin prints often use different support structures compared to FDM prints. You might need to adjust or redesign the supports to ensure they work well with FDM printing1.

  2. Detail Level: Resin printers can achieve much finer details than FDM printers. If your STL file has very fine details, you might need to simplify or modify the design to ensure it prints well on an FDM printer2.

  3. Material Considerations: Resin and FDM printers use different materials. Ensure that the material you choose for FDM printing is suitable for your design and intended use.

I do have a 0.02 noozle but like you said, I should fist get the hang of the original 0.04 noozle before trying the new one.

I will try these models using a new fillament roll and let you know. I also dissasembled the extruder and cleaned it. Let’s see if this helps.

Thanks for the help!
