Printing plate is not recognized

Hello,

In 90% of cases the QR code of the SuperStack plate is not recognized. Basically, the hint that the disk wasn’t recognized isn’t a bad thing. But when you click Continue, the print fails because the distance to the plate is too large.

It shouldn’t be that difficult for Bambu to enlarge the area to be scanned. and even after being told about the wrong disk, continue with the normal settings.

It’s extremely annoying to have to restart printing 6 times.

or do you have any solutions that work?

People have been saying you need to disable plate localization entirely and that fixes it.

There are 3 options:

  1. disable plate localization entirely (because resuming when you get the error will ruin the Z-offset) - I hate this option, negates a major feature of the X1C imho.
  2. 3D print your own cool-plate ARUCO QR code (search MakerWorld) and glue or tape it to the bed
  3. print a label on a home printer or label maker (I bought a $19 bluetooth labelmazer that prints laminated waterproof thermal labels that worked perfectly) and adhere it.

Here’s the QR if you want to print one, I went this route and it works 100% of the time now.

In case you want the label maker info it’s this one: Amazon.com : SUPVAN E10 Bluetooth Label Maker Machine with Tape, Continuous Waterproof Label, Versatile App with 35 Fonts and 1k+ Icons, Inkless Labeler for Home, Kitchen, School, Office Organization, Black : Office Products

Can confirm this worked for me (disabling plate detection). I think Bambu needs to get their sh!t together here honestly. This is completely unacceptable. They are made up of genius ex-DJI engineers and made a printer that compeltely changed the 3D printing market, yet here we are dealing with problems like having to make our own QR codes and getting filament refills that could have been more competently spooled by a 6 year old.

Having spent $3,000 on my X1C and 2 AMS units I am honestly kinda pissed off. I bought a Bambu Lab printer so I DIDN’T have to deal with all these trivial issues.

Thanks for your tips. Unfortunately, these are not solutions that I would like to implement. The disk detection actually makes sense. So you can’t accidentally damage the plate. Therefore, I would rather reluctantly deactivate them.

The stickers bring nothing. If the plate is not 100% correctly aligned, it will not be recognized. Even small deviations lead to the fact that it is not recognized. I think Bambu has to increase the area to be scanned.

I think Bambu could solve the problem very easily.

I have got the same problem with the super tack plate not being recognised and I think this is the problem. When I lined up some other Bambu Labs built plates with the super tacky built plate, it is obvious that the QR code is not in the same place on the super tacky plate when compare to other Bambu labs built plates i.e the QR codes do not line up. Ive tried to upload a photo of this, but it won’t upload. What do others think?

Welcome to the forum! Yeah, it was established in a few other threads that the QR isn’t in the correct spot.

Mine seems to be movable a few millimeters (less than 5mm?) to either side before I get this error.

I have the same error with my X1C now. Printer and plate are only a few weeks old.

I wonder did I do something wrong cleaning the print plate with isopropyl alcohol? Would a new plate fix the error? But for how long…?

Thanks.

actually the new firmware seems to have fixed it!

I’m going to have to check out the latest firmware then. Haven’t been using my CF effects plate because it wasn’t detecting it correctly and I had to disable plate detection to use it.

That caused me to forget a plate 2-3 times.

Same here… but since new FW no issues at all 100% ok so far for me.
