Printer not feeding Filament/Getting Jammed?

This issue is driving me crazy. In my case, filament won’t load. It complains about a stuck spool.

I’ve confirmed it’s not the hotend (I have three, .2, .4, and .6 - and both the .4 and .6 behave the same. I can extrude manually as much as I want, but when I do a load or start a print it fails. I’ve tried it with the ams lite (o an a1) and external spool.

I’ve verified the filament path is clear. I can manually push filament through the extruder with the ot end off.

I’ve done old pulls. Switched hotends. It’s a paperweight. Before tonight, it printed fine. I got it on friday and have printed the top mount and a few other pieces. No issues, and then wham.

Creality never gave me this much trouble. The firmware thinks there is a problem and shuts down.

So much for it just works.

Ok, so I completely disassembled the extruder to check for anything broken/jammed/dirty, but found everything looking new and normal. The gears meshed, bearings turned smoothly, filament path was clear and I could put filament down through it normally.

Reassembled it, and although it was creating poop on extrude, it would fail on load or printing with an error of a jammed spool. The spool isn’t jamned - I can spin the spools easily.

I’ve tried it with and without ams lite. I’ve tried multiple nozzles. I’ve tried about 5 different filaments.

It is failing 100% of the time now.

I’m going to take a break, but I should be printing.

Ho do I open a ticket ith bambu anyway?

And… I may have an answer/workaround.

I found it on another thread, but basically I went into settings > ams and turned everything off, then went into settings > printing and there turned off the filament settings.

It worked. No other changes. No nozzle or filament changes.

In my case at least, it must be a firmware glitch that is over detecting

On on my thirrd print, and no issues other than the ptfe tubes getting hung up on the top mounted ams - my error.

Not pleased at the lost of functions but I’m happy I don’t have a $500 paperweight.

But my creality machines are running well also, so not sure what the big deal is except multicolor and speed. :wink:

I’m having the same problem and it seems to be only happening with a specific filament. Can you point me out to this post?

I think this was the thread with the clue. A1 AMS lite will not load filament - Bambu Lab A1 Series - Bambu Lab Community Forum
